Though the event doesn’t start until tomorrow, I had a pretty good first day.
Played a decent list of games, mostly fillers and light stuff.
Gib gas
Flizz & miez
Dimension
Ugo!
Don
Flash 10 x 2
Ted’s party game proto
Flizz & miez
Also had three high calorie meals, a two mile hike while letterboxing, and over 13500 steps on fitbit. Oh, and I managed to venture to Canada and confirm that my new passport card works.
A number of the OG writers are here, but I’m not sure how many will write during the gathering itself.
A few more pictures
The ballroom around 11pm. Not many people. Maybe 6 active tables. Right now, the games I see in play are:
Abluxxen
2 prototypes
Trajan
Buccaneer bones
Camel cup
Subdivision
Speaking of subdivision, here are the prototype boxes of the two games I am working on right now.
Here are the games that I brought. Partly for you to see and partly so that I have a record on my phone of what I brought when it’s time to pack up.
Some other people bring lots more. This entire corner was brought by a single gamer! I’m guessing that he didn’t fly here…
And finally, this is one of the main halls. There is this ominous bit of scaffolding. Is it:
1) swimsuit changing area?
2) poorly sound insulated werewolf room?
3) area for the variety show
4) a really bad roof leak?
I’m thinking it’s #4 but not entirely sure. More updates later. The Bummer is that this space usually has 6 to 8 tables filling up this area.
Ok time for bed. I have a busy day of gaming to get ready for!
What? You didn’t peak?
There seems to be an eerie glow seeping through the open spaces above and below the curtain.
My guess: a top secret–possibly life-threateningly dangerous–prototype being worked on by mad scientist game designers.
Or a chamber for the board game illuminati to meet in the middle of the night while the rest of the con is sleeping or distracted by Werewolf games.
Either way, I think you’re somehow involved, Dale, even if you pretend not to be:-)
It’s a “What’s He Building in There?” situation, I’m sure!
