Weekend ramblings...
Ugh.
Wiped out from Intercon and lack of sleep.
Had a pretty good time though.
Young Commandoes in Love went over extremely well. No one cried, no one threatened us with violence, most people claimed to have a good time. It's certainly worth doing again (with a few tweaks and a much bigger space). The nice thing is that the game is short and sweet and it could easily run in a mixed-game convention (where there's things other than LARPs running).
Saturday evening I was in my one and only game, Fete d'anniversaire D'Ogun (the Ogun's Birthday Party). This was the "Mardi Gras Voodoo Lwa Game". I was Papa Legbe. It was actually quite a bit of fun, mainly because it had the Nobilis-esque mechanics that said "You're the spirit of X, so you can do anything related to X". I really like those kinds of games. People really got into their stuff. I don't know as I actually got a whole lot done during the game, but I had fun.
After that, I hung out and socialized with people from the game, many of whom were new to Intercon and having a good time. I stayed up very late and didn't get much sleep.
On Sunday I had breakfast and, thanks to another attendee being a bit of an asshole, it was free. The breakfast was supposed to be free (the hotel gave us tickets), but the hotel restaurant wasn't clear on the terms. I didn't much care, but this other guy did, so my breakfast wound up being free. Huzzah for benefitting from other people's drama!
Also on Sunday, I went over for a belated birthday viewing of LOTR only to discover that I was late by a day, but I got to chat with old roomies for awhile and that was fun.
But the best part was getting to see Annie after a long weekend and snuggling with her.

Also, I went to dinner with the handsome and talented Kit, which was pretty much the highlight of the entire weekend. Kit will be leaving us soon so getting to spend time with him is more important than usual.
better?
