Wherein I discuss my convention experiences.
Dreamation 2017 was a great time! Thanks so much to Vinny, Avie, and the entire Double Exposure crew for putting on such a fantastic convention. Thanks also to each and every person who ran a game for the Indie Games eXplosion. You brought tons of fun to wintry Morristown. And thanks to everyone who played … Read more
DEXCCON 2016 Thursday: I had to work. But was able to drop Kat off on Wednesday night. On Thursday, she was a whirlwind of activity and set up a mini-Maelstrom within DEXCON. GMs who had open slots would post the games that they were willing to run at those times. Players interested would show up … Read more
Wow. What a #Dreamation. As always, Vinny, Avie, and the entire Double Exposure crew made great things happen flawlessly and invisibly. They are amazing and I thank them deeply. Jason Morningstar compared Dreamtion to a family reunion and he’s absolutely right. Except that there’s more people I’m excited to see at Dreamation. Thursday, 8PM For … Read more
DEXCON is one of my favorite conventions, I think it’s fair to say that this DEXCON was the best yet! Vinny, Avie, and the entire Double Exposure staff always put on a great show and go above and beyond to be welcoming. Unfortunately, I came home with a bit of a cold, so my thoughts … Read more
Camp Nerdly always holds a special place in my heart. The scenery is great. There are plenty of people I only get to see there. It has more opportunity for me to display my pitiful Frisbee skills than all other game conventions put together. This was our fourth Nerdly, and certainly the best one yet. … Read more
Philly Games Con was a good con, and both well-attended and well-run. Neither are to be taken for granted at a first year event. I was impressed and would return again. Kudos to Dave and the Philly Games Con crew for a great debut. Friday night, I got to play in a game of … Read more
So, Maelstrom 2015 was a very good time. It’s a small convention, emphasizing quality over quantity. As always, Avie and Vinny and the Double Exposure crew do a great job making everyone feel welcome. And this is the con where they just let the magic spontaneously happen. We didn’t arrive until later than I wanted, … Read more
Over on Google Plus, James Stuart asked about the history of the IGX. I started typing, and I wanted to preserve it somewhere that I wouldn’t lose it. https://plus.google.com/u/0/112165300112510479765/posts/GDDVGX2GPqw Holy smokes, how much detail do you want? Most importantly, how much detail do I want to write? *Prehistory* The IGE did not leap fully formed from … Read more
Dreamation is always phenomenal, and this year was no exception. The work that Vinny and Avie and the whole Double Exposure staff do to make the convention seamless is a wonder in its effectiveness and its invisibility. Thanks to each and every one. Now, here’s the fun I had: Thursday 8pm Event: *Kagematsu* “The Grand … Read more

Many thanks to Avie and Vinny and our hard-working hospitable hosts from Double Exposure for making this amazing gathering possible. *With Great Power* My first moments at the convention were the first playtest of my newly-revised kappa … Read more
