[NJ, DE, PA and even VA, NY and all points East!] Shorecon [ENworld gathering]

[WizarDru]

I'll be editing the pictures today, so look for a con report this afternoon, most likely.

Or not. Because the universe mocks me, it won't be until tomorrow at the earliest. My domain name expired rather unexpectedly, so I'm upgrading my account while changing it. That means no hosting for the pictures, for a start.

Oh, and I'm working late tonight installing two giant UPSs...but just to highlight that, the power failed in my building (and more importantly, my data center) and the old UPSs failed.

Grrr.

WizarDru, never let this man ever play a kender.

WizarDru, never let this man ever play a kender.

See, that's what I was saying on Saturday, and everybody thought I was a crazy person. He's dangerous, I tell you, dangerous.

You see! Racist! The DM will not let me play the race I am most suited for!
If there were any doubts as to my Kenderishness just read Uriel-Fire-of-heaven's: The Dungeon Game. I play Kazareen Bricklebottom. Kender Mage

Glad to hear people had a good time, and I wish I could have gone there myself. I look forward to hearing more and seeing some pics when they get posted!

We're going to have to do this again at Winter Fantasy. You coming East for that Mark?

 

[Sam]

Doh!
The dreaded double-post!

 

[WizarDru]

The Con report is going up in stages!

You can go read it and see the pictures!!!

It's because you're so well suited for it that you're dangerous. After all, nuclear reactors don't melt down because they're bad at fission, they melt down because they're way too good at fission.

As for the danger:

At Mount Doom: "What One Ring? You mean the shiny one with the fiery inscriptions that's cool to the touch and feels heavier than it looks? Oh, you must have dropped it. What? I can't give it to you, i don't have it. I do have this cool acorn that looks like a duck if you turn it one way and like Elvis if you turn it another. Yeah, I picked it up at the Argonath, but didn't have room in my pouches, so I had to drop some stuff... Hey, maybe that's where the ring is! See, I told you you must have dropped it! Hey, put me down! I don't think throwing a kender into the volcano will kill Sauron, though he's probably get a good laught out of it. I wonder if you'd feel yourself go "whooft!". Is that the sound someone makes when they're immersed in lava? My old Uncle Trapspringer was once immersed in lava, it was when he was being chased by ringwraiths into a goblin hole, and when he pulled out his old wedding ring - well, it wasn't so much a wedding ring as a Silmaril, but it was nice. He showed it to me once.. Hey, watchit! So this is what falling feels like. Boy it's hot. WHOOFT"
