How do I love GenCon? Let me count the ways!

Additionally - thanks, Rel. You're incredibly kind and insanely fun to be around. Even nicer in person than you are on the boards... and that's *really* saying something.

Wanna' go?






Dammit, I have GOT to stop that!

I have a question for the other non-Canadians who were there:

Do you find yourself unconsciously speaking in a very vaguely Canadian way, just because those Canadians were all so cool?

I haven't the slightest idea what you are talking aboot...

Ok, here is the continutation from my last post now that I am rested

• Rangerwickett absolutely killed me this year In PC's game of D&D his "Plan A" for getting into a private club was to approach the ugliest female member and attempt to convince her that a person he didn't know (or know the name or description of) wanted Wanger's PC to approach this ugly girl (whom his PC had never met or had any interaction with) to deliver a message that he found her pretty
  
  He then attempted to Cast a charm spell on her using only Somatic components...in full sight of her guards (one of whom he had already charmed). It didn't work and he was captured by a city guardsman...whok he attempted to bribe with, I you not, Free Drinks.
  
  When this went poorly, his backup plan was to drop the Charm on his only ally...who then denouced him
  
  I just about couldn't stop laughing. It was one of my favorite moments of the Con.
  
  In related news, I ran into RW as he was squiring a pretty hot looking Brazilian girl around the Exhibit hall. This is her...
  
  
  
  
  
  I saw them together again a little later, and then a third time when they were sitting on the floor chatting, and I will tell you all that judging by body language and nonverbal cues...
  
  She appeared to be really into him
  
  No word of a lie. No goofing. She seemed reasonably smitten with our own RangerWickett. It boggles the mind
  
  Good on you Ryan.
  
  I kid you alot, but it's always nice to see you at the con. this year was no exception
  
  
• Truth Seeker was a lot more omnipresent this year. He is another of the 2005 "Full-Patch" members of TBR.
  
  I love this guy. Usually when somone interrupts a booming party to make a toast I expect a bunch of boring nonsense that would've been better left unsaid, or a perfunctory couple of sentences that are required by tradition.
  
  What I categorically don't expect is a roomful of drunks to be brought to shiny-eyed tearfullness by a series of salutes to EN World luminaries. That's what truth Seeker delivered.
  
  Here's Myself, Dextra, Truth Seeker and Some Clown who Brazilian girls find Fascinating
  
  
  

Anywas, more to come later. I am attempting to plow through my copy of A Game of Thrones for review.

Here's a short review of what I've read so far: Best Game Ever.

Queen D - This girl brims with bubbly fun and I suspect that she never stops smiling. She shatters the stereotype of the pretty girl who likes roleplaying but doesn't really quite get the rules. (And by the way, I intended on giving you that shirt, Queen D. So instead of a gift, I'm going to turn it into bait. Come to one of the NC Game Days and it is yours. )

Your bait will work. I *will* make it down to the game day... just probably won't be the one in the fall.

Additionally - thanks, Rel. You're incredibly kind and insanely fun to be around. Even nicer in person than you are on the boards... and that's *really* saying something.

I know the next one is September 10. When's the one after that?

Mention of the rapscallions makes me wonder, is it "once a rapscallion, always a rapscallion?" It would be a bummer to be a FORMER rapscallion just because I was forced to start taking Paladin levels. If anything I can cast "protection from not-so-hot strippers" before you leave!

In related news, I ran into RW as he was squiring a pretty hot looking Brazilian girl around the Exhibit hall. This is her...

see above

I saw them together again a little later, and then a third time when they were sitting on the floor chatting, and I will tell you all that judging by body language and nonverbal cues...

Good on you Ryan.

So RW, did she ever show up on Sunday? Just curious... I would like to think that my work as your wingman Sat Night had some pay off! As a christian I cant chase women like I used to. However, I can still help my friends chase women like I used to!

And over on the GENCON forums someone was asking if people found love at GENCON...

I am even more mad at myself for not going! ARRRRRRRR!

I know the next one is September 10. When's the one after that?

After that is January 21st. Then April 22-23 in what we're calling the "Two-Day Mini-Con". If you are anywhere near NC then you should try and make it to that April one so that you get more gaming bang for your travel buck.

Just before anyone goes any further, do you all mind me living vicariously through you? I would pick out TB in particular, but I'm not so sur my fragile little mind could handle that totally!

With every post I want to get to GenCon more!

The one in Jan is Kennon's birthday! That could make a good gift... But the one in April is over my Finals - so that one is already a "no way."
