Games I’ll have on me

That's what I look like, by nightfall
The Carpe Phil game
It started as a Twitter joke where I said that I used to think “Carpe Diem” meant “Seize the Butt” (and implied I was a huge creepazoid). Then I turned the joke around and said I should make a Carpe Phil game à la Jane MacGonigal. So why not.
And no, it’s not an invitation to grab my butt, it IS awesome, but it is the property of someone special.
During the con, if I’m not otherwise occupied (ex: like running a game), I invite you to gather your courage and introduce yourself (or re-introduce yourself, I suck at names). I’ll have a special d20 on me that I’ll roll. On a 1-19, I’ll answer any short question you have about gaming, freelancing and dealing with Bipolar disorder. If you roll a 20 and I have the time, I’ll sit down with you for a short game of anything that lasts less then an hour.
One try per con-goer per day.
Either way, I’ll ask for your email and I’ll have a draw after Gen Con. The winner will get an autographed copy of one of my published works.
How’s that for a game for a gaming convention?
Looking forward to meeting/gaming with you all.
