Wait...haggis is made of WHAT!?!?!?

Hello!

Greetings from sunny Scotland! No really, it's quite sunny and "hot" (which means it's totally comfortable outside).

So, just a travel tip from me to you -- don't fly right after a major terrorist scare. You might get your luggage routed to Abu Dabi. It's our third day here and we still have no luggage. Luckily, a trip to WalMart has fixed us up for a day or two and I have successfully changed underwear. Hopefully we can actually enjoy the festival tonight.

A pickup line I have to try someday -- Hey baby, can I stick my Willy Wonka in your Oompa-Loompah?

GenCon -- was a great time. I now want to start wargamming small boat actions during WWII. In the RPG department, Agon (a competitive Greek Epic RPG) and Covenent (the secret society without an agenda RPG) are probably the two big winners. Also, Burning Empires is totally kick-ass and I can't wait to run it when I get back.

Um, I miss all of you and hope to have more interesting stories than, "on the sixth day, we still didn't have our luggage".

later
Tom

I'm very interested in Buring Empires, and would appreciate a more detailed review (especially re. mechanics) when you have the time.

If you see Iain Banks, tell him to write an open letter to American 'Liberals' for me. And buy him scotch. :-)

Burning Empires I assume this is what Tom is talking about.

[dirkcjelli.livejournal.com]

Give Warren Ellis a titty twister for me.

Sounds frustrating. I like having all the luggage I intended to bring AND I like traveling with limited clothing choices. Why does the lost luggage thing seem to be a honeymoon thing?

Well, they figure we're going to be naked most of the time anyway...

Why don't you try it on your wife?

Hee. "Wife".

[asciikitty.livejournal.com]

because my response was such a fast and repeateed "not sexy. not even cute" that I'm sure the people in the next room were confused. he needs fresh meat to try that one on.

*snorfle* I read his post and thought to myself "Wow, I bet that line fell totally flat with his wife." Then I scrolled down and saw this.

Anyway, I'm glad you're there and safe and that nothing irreplaceable was lost. Also looking forward to more detailed Gencon writeups in some future universe where you have time.
