D&D

The parade of the geeks has started -- we're trickling down from our hotel rooms and in off the street to kick off the convention.  I was surprised, walking up to the registration table, to see that only a few of the games are sold out yet.  I hope that just means people are coming to the con without having preregistered. 

Is it a bad sign that Tom and I were the first ones to register this morning?  Are we desperate nerds, or just early rising nerds?

Take the credit card to GenCon.

Kirk picked up a set of superman wristbands to keep the sweat from interfering with his grip on his dice.

And I know he got it for the dice, because he got a third one. You can make up your own use for that one.

We got here early, people are starting to flow in and get ready to play. I'm totally twitchy with anticipation. On the inside. On the outside.... Well... I need more coffee.

Short delve first.

 I am in the middle of getting ready to go to Gen Con.  And, for me at least, coming up with the right collection of technology to take with me is going to be pretty important. 

I love Gen Con -- it's days and days of a complete celebration of things I love.  For our group of gamers, the centerpiece is, or has been, the D&D CHampionship.  And this year, we are entering a second tournament (goodman games) and we're actually going to have a full team of 5 from our home game, and won't be picking up other guys in Indy.  

We've been playing a lot lately -- although one of my two campaigns hasn't managed to have a session in a while. 

My "serious" group has a core of 5 guys who are going to Gencon and we're going to be playing in both the D&D Championship and the Goodman Games tournament.  We've been doing a lot of practicing  with our championship characters -- playing extra evening sessions, in addition to my home campaign for that group.
