Ravencon Report
I'm back from Ravencon and boy am I beat. The con was in a new hotel that had some things better than the old hotel (such as the larger game room and dealer room) and some things worse (poor maintenance and hallway traffic flow issues). Mike says it's just for one more year then they'll move to an even larger hotel.
We did some business, but no great shakes. The trip was saved by a fun loving granny who bought 6 hats so she could give them to the whole family at Christmas and then make them wear the hats in the Christmas photos. I liked her! Also one woman had two little nieces and she got one pink kitty hat and one black kitty hat so they could play kitties together. I can't even imagine how cute THAT'S gonna look. Speaking of cute - Yoo Hoos were a big hit. I might need to order up more before Origins rolls around. I certainly need more hats!
The dealer room Czar helped in EVPF playtesting and came up with a great rule variation that I think is going to seal the deal. I need to do some more playtesting with this super duper rule but lucky me Saturday is Maryland Game Day so I should be able to swing that no problem. Another highlight was Rob's incredibly eerie Leonard Cohen filk. An the $10 seated massage lady. Oh man she was good! Hubby gets super points for helping at the booth and fetching Vietnamese lunch.
As promised I finished Dreaming Metal at the con. I was actually teary at the end. Slow start but good book in the end. Now, must run credit cards then sleeeeep.
