Gen-Con in pictures
Back home again at last, so time to add some of the few photos I took over there.

You'll be glad to know they are behind a cut

We arrived to find a Jacuzzi in the bedroom. Aparently Angus had ordered the 'porn suite'.
His calls for a game of Talisman in the Jaccuzzi fell of deaf ears.


Setting up was a pain as the air con didn't get turned on until the con opened!
Still the stand went up ok. All of us playing our part, Angus Scmoozing, Dom working and me taking photos!



Mouse and Dog came along as correspondants for [info]aloysius_bear

Mouse hung out at the stand


While Dog found something else to do at the Conan booth next door.


However, they both helped us unload the new Victoriana books,
which thankfuly arrived on Thursday morning!


Our next door neighbours, Hollow Earth were fab.
Next Con we are definatly bringing a Van Der Graff generator too!


We also drafted the lovely Laura into helping out to add a bit of Victorian charm.
(although it takes very little to add to the charm pool when it is only Angus, Dom and me, still she did a fab job.)



Generally we had a fab time.
Victoriana sold really well and most people thought it looked excellent.
The demo games went really well too, so my thanks go out to everyone who played in them.
Thanks for finding the room in the chaos of Gen-Con ticketing,
and for making it fun for me to run the same game 4 times.

Now we have recovered a bit, we are sorting out Gen-Con UK!

WTF. I want a hotel room with a jacuzzi in it next year, geez. XD

I was SO disappointed I couldn't make it to any of the demo games but I'm happy they went well and even happier to hear Victoriana sold well!

I would consider cropping out my completely un-Victorian, un-gothic lolita sandals. XD The first time I wore that outfit at a convention, I made the mistake of wearing platform mary janes and regretted it after about 20 minutes (unfortunately the wooden geta I wore later that weekend didn't help matters much). After that particular mistake, I swore to only wear comfortable shoes to conventions after that, but now I have to deal with the consequences of looking even sillier in photographs. X3

Thanks again for having me. <3 It was incredibly flattering and I'm glad to have participated, however little.

Not if you are sharing a room with 2 other guys you don't. :-)

Scary platform shoes BTW! My feet were hurting after a day and I had reasonably sensible shoes.
If it is any help, as a guy I hadn't noticed your shoes in the picture at all. :-)

It was a blast meeting you guys, getting the spiel from you, and hanging with Angus and Dom at the Exile Game Studio/7eme Cercle table at the Ennies. I've very slowly and lovingly begun to read my copy of V.2ed, and I'm lovin' it.

See you next year (I hope), and I'm definitely looking forward to the first "Faulkner's" release -- wonderful and brilliant concept that one!
