It's that time of year again. Gamehole Con is once more upon us. This year is something new, as it has moved from a hotel to the Alliant Energy Center (for perspective, I saw Motley Crue there earlier this year). The convention that started with a gaming group who wanted a local Con to go to, is growing every year, and is fast becoming a heavy-hitter in the gaming convention circuit. And I plan to attend every one that I can until I eventually retire and move away from Madison.
So, this is a snapshot of my schedule for the weekend:
Unlike previous years, I was actually able to get a small variety of game genres in, with a supers and a sci-fi on Saturday. The rest is various fantasy games, which is pretty normal. Fantasy games make up a large majority of games.
One interesting note is that my 12-year old step-daughter will be with me all day on Saturday. Mom is running a few Dragon Age games, so Syd will be stuck with me. Not so bad, though. I think she'll like the variety, and it will no doubt be fun. Mom will be with us for the Saturday night Pathfinder game, as well as the Sunday 5E game. It's a family weekend.
I'm still leery of running games myself. But, I think in the future I might offer to run a Mutants & Marvels game, just to see if there is any interest. I'm not the best GM, in my opinion. But I think I could do ok.
And as a testament to the number of regular readers I have, no one has pointed out the glaring error on my schedule. Apparently I am attending a seminar given by a dead bodybuilder, and not one of the godfathers of D&D.
