Try GMing at cons someday.

Oh yes, I got my first PFS GM star and all I can say is that I definitely earned it! ; )

Sadly I have never been to any cons. Perhaps some day I will make it to one.

I've actually GM'd a bunch too, but it was 'back in the day'. Now I just attend them here and there.


Cons are good fun. It's a good time to geek out, waste two or three days gaming with weirdos of a similar disposition, and get some great stories.

favorite recent GM story-
PFS heroes were supposed to acquire a love letter from a noble woman's boudoir so they bribed a maid to get it for them. They are waiting outside the gate for the delivery when the bedroom on the second floor suddenly explodes blowing out the window with a gust of flame. (the box where the letters were kept was trapped with a fireball.)

The expression on my players' faces was priceless as they realized they had just sent the maid to her death and sheepishly retreated down the street as the alarms started. Mission not-accomplished, but we had a good laugh.

It's good to be the GM : )


VC - Sydney, Australia

Well sort of.

They used to be a great place for picking up chicks in the waybackwhen, these days...not so much.

chicks? wait...you mean chicks not in the KFC way, you mean women, right? Never ever have I met anyone vaguely female on a con...girls with beards don't count...

@Tark: You have to tell me the embarassing part, I can't watch it due to a lack of facebokishness.

Once I was on a con with a friend and he wore a Ventrue-VTM shirt and then suddenly some weird guy jumped at him and tried to bite his neck all the while screaming "Traitor, how can you tell everyone your clan!".

The bad thing was, my friend is a mason and because of that has arms that remind me of tree trunks...he just caught that guy mid-air and smashed him judo-like on the floor...after some explanations we found out that Mr. Weirdo was part of the Vampire Larp con that also took place and thought my friend was ruining his game...-_-

OK in ancient times I was in a gaming group (6 person team) called 'We're with HER!' - the group was named after the hot redhead that was rather popular at any table. Is now an ex-girlfriend of mine, but we catch up for coffee now and then.

The competition was a team called 'Fortunately we were wearing our armour' which was an all girl team rocking out in bikini chainmail.

This sort of shennigans abounded, as most of the chicks were glam metal fans (or hot goths before goth became code for a walking postcode wedged in a corset) so all was good. As long as you dug the Lita Ford/Doro Pesch look.

Now its very hit and miss.

That said, on the last four tables I have been at, on three occasions there were chicks, and the last one there was two.

Girl gamers are pretty common in Sydney.

That doesn't surprise me -> Sydney=other end of the world=everthing turned around.


In most of the States I have been through the gaming stores seem to all be inhabited by awkward Kevin Smith impersonators. To be honest, I haven't ever played an game in real life. I have found I get far more enjoyment with PbP.

If all goes as planned, I might be able to play in a RL game with DMHW and/or Bofus at some point. Right now it is 1000 miles which is a bit far.


DMZ:
Kirk is still waiting at Pettoria Academy in HOL for a response, but I see that the group is probably taking precedence as they're under attack ;)


Tis the Season

@ Kirk: Oh! my bad!


Sorry if it seemed I wasn't following the thread. I checked yesterday and was still expecting Harry to arrive.

Wow, Summer is here... was out on my 7km run and it was 42c out there. I practically melted once I stopped running.

Off in the woods tomorrow, any posting will be late my time...

If you go down in the woods today...

Yup - the woods are such a nice places with all those sweet little critters.


Ruck march = blisters on pinky toes the size of grapes. Wow.

Back... wasn't too bad, we cut away after a while because the amount of leeches on us was starting to get a bit comical, plus the heat was beginning to take its toll.

Amazing place for an exercise though, a decomissioned colliery up in rugged bushland - setting up platoon defensive positions in effectively jungle conditions and having to factor in serious escarpments had the brain ticking.

Claymores, use claymores. And then more claymores.

Travel update: I'm leaving Europe on Monday, will be fly until Tuesday when I land in Bangkok, Thailand. Hopefully maintaining regular internet access won't be difficult in Thailand, but if it starts to be a problem I'll be sure to let ya'll know! I'm hoping to escape from the big city fairly quickly and go find the super cheap lodging out in the jungle or on the beach.

Have an awesome time, Garrabot! My wife loved Thailand when she was there!


Should be free wi-fi all over the place in Thailand. Malaysia was considering making it a law that every single restaurant be equipped with it.

I hope you like the spice!


@Shifty, sounds like a blast. Our site in Oki used to have leeches crawling around like caterpillars. Got super bored one time and made sling to pass the time with and chase off wild dogs. Got pretty good with the thing.

Well there's a good reason for not posting and a bad reason for not posting when your girl's at your place...;)

So you don't know the type of women who try to forbid everything that is not connected to them? Lucky you!

Yeah see that sort of thing doesn't fly with me... insecurity and neediness is pretty unattractive. I've never put up with that sort of twaddle.

Sometimes you notice too late :)...blinded by good looks etc. and then you have two years of madness -_-

True, I have seen enough friends wander deep into that trap! You can usually spot a bunny-boiling control freak though, its all in the eyes... no matter how nicely the mouth moves, a sharks eyes never smile.

Hey guys I'm doing the finals thing, so I'm not going to be on here so much. I'll try to check in and post at least once in the day (if there's something for me to post) but if it ever gets to a point where I'm needed so the game can advance, please take over for me.

It's not like that, really. She also plays RPGs with me, she just doesn't play over the internet because she feels insecure in her english skills. Since I'm the main GM for our groups, I come here to experience the other side of the gaming screen.

Although she did get somewhat curious about Tirion/Ailetha's gender when I told her his/her character in Kingmaker is pregnant with my child.
