Resolutions...
Jan. 27th, 2004 09:51 pmA new resolution for the "stuff to do" list...
Never attempt to help run/set up four or more games at a con, until I develop some kind of self-preservation instinct. Instead of the easier approach of letting the games go to hell while I clung to sanity (or slept in) I followed the fine example set by so many others, and smiled as I plowed myself into the ground :)
Nonetheless, I had a great time. Ran the first War Machine tournament in the state, on Friday - not many players, but many interested people amongst the other miniature gamers, who may start to join in soon. All good fun - and to make up for odd player numbers, I got to play five games in the two Friday sessions - while handling scoring for all the games.
End result - brains sucked out of left nostril, sleep deprived from pre-con runaround, grinning like a loon.
Saturday and Sunday were filled with 40k, as one of a hundred and six players. I thought I had a lot of registrations at Intensicon, with 90 for my game... this crowd was enormous. I think I left my remaining sanity at the con on Saturday, as I went home and sculpted a 10mm nurgling-of-mass-destruction to use as a special objective on Sunday morning, painting it as the sculpt cured at 3am...
End result - sanity shredded, subject to flashback-paranoia at the sound of dice. I finished 22nd again - the same as almost every year. You know, if they didn't keep adding another 25 players each con, I'd have won it by now...
Monday morning saw me run a session for Jye, on five minute's warning and no breakfast. Many (dastardly) pirates were vanquished, many (heroic) pirates triumphed, many swashes were buckled. The final two sessions were filled with creepy paranoia co-GMing with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
miss_rynn, and I met some particularly cool first-time con goers. One of them even plans to run an Exalted game, which I'll be playing in at some stage...
End result - flashback-paranoia induced by the Silent Hill soundtrack (curse you Rynn!), and still grinning like a loon.
The post-con food'n'drinks'n'weary conversation was great - as a result, I went to bed some time after 6:30 this morning, and have just set foot in my room again. Brain.... freeezing... up...
...sleep caaaaaalllls....
