It was a great convention. People were coming up to me to thank me for running games and writing them, so I felt pretty great by the end of the show (albeit incredibly tired). Sorry for the gamers I turned away from demos on Saturday afternoon — my voice needed a rest!

The PAX Enforcers are amazing, helpful and friendly. Kudos to all of them!

The Burning Wheel/Memento Mori/SorenCrane booth

 

I ran ACTION CASTLE for 470 people on Friday. Also did some pick up games with people waiting in the many lines at the show.

Luke and I had to turn away a hundred or so for Game Design is Mind Control. We made around $7 by the panel’s end.

Running FreeMarket for some gamers on Saturday. “Can I summon a jaguar spirit?” “Umm…no, but you can print a pet jaguar!”

Friday, March 11 at 3:30 PM
Location: Merman Theatre
Description: “You are in a cottage. There is a fishing pole here. Exits are: Out.” With these words, a gaming phenomenon was born! Travel back in time to 1985 when Marty McFly was driving a Delorean and I was hammering out two-word commands on an Apple II version of Wishbringer. This is a live-action text adventure game in the Parsely series. No experience necessary… everyone who comes to the game gets to play!

Sign up HERE for a chance to win all six Parsely games at the convention!

I’m at JFK airport right now waiting for my 10:15 flight to Sin City.

I hope I get to meet Marv! Oh wait… really? Man, that sucks for Marv.

A friendly fellow at the White Wolf party was sketching various faces as he wandered the club. Then he sketched caricatures of some friends (Miss J, Dillo) and then did one of me.
