Dream a little Dreamation 2008

Hi,

So I went to Dreamation for an extended gaming weekend. It was a pretty good time. Here's what I played:

( Thursday )

( Friday )

( Saturday )

That was it. On Sunday morning I drove us all home (since I had 5 hours of sleep and everyone else had less). I am pleased/amused to note that with the one exception of Carlos, every one of my characters was female. Which means I've more than fulfilled my "experimental gender-bending" quota and can go back to playing scruffy guys for awhile. :)

I also picked up a mess of Morrow Project stuff, which was my big buy for the con and I drooled over the Warhammer 40K RPG book (gorgeous!) but declined to purchase (my resolve here is probably going to be real weak though).

I think I had a much better time at this con this year than I did last year. I'm certainly considering going back again next year. The indie-gamers I hang with seem to be getting into an "old school" mode where they run classic games like "red box" D&D with only a few (or no) rule tweaks. That's got me thinking about running a classic Traveller game or something similar.

But I'm glad that my upcoming weekends aren't nearly as packed as they have been so far this year.
