GenCon 2015 Review Day 3

Click here for Day 0 and 1, Day 2.

Ran the last of my own games at 8AM, Dungeons Incorporated. And once again started with just one player but rapidly filled seats with real tickets and a couple of folks from my Friday 8AM game (back for more you silly people)! And also once again I ended up teaching the system (5e) to all the players. It is always interesting to me how different groups solve problems. All I have to do is present two options and I get four solutions, endless entertainment for the GM. I did manage to get a few more characters thinking about betraying the lich at the end of the adventure, but ultimately they chose the easy – we get paid – way out.

Saturday afternoon was my show floor costume time. Seeing as we are less than 150 days from a new Star Wars movie (so awesome) I got out my Jedi costume for the afternoon. One of the folks in our group loaned me his force active saber and that really made the costume.

I spent most of my show floor time in the art show. There was not a lot of star wars or scifi art, but I did find a nice piece from the trailer of X-wings over the lake. The artist had substituted the original trilogy X-wing model. I appreciated his grognardness. Besides art I picked up a Kickstarter reward from Maps of Mastery. Chris West runs some of the most organized Kickstarters ever. After maps, I made my way to the Pinnacle booth and picked up the new Lankmar source book in anticipation of my second game as a player.

Really enjoyed this game. It was GMd by one of the Rocky Mountain Savages, and he was great at description (and descriptive language – something about dark as 4 inches up a … well you get the idea). Can’t wait to run a game in this setting. Many of the players thought that this was their best game of the Con, and they were new to Savage Worlds. That is some high praise for the GM.

On to Sunday and my first time running for organized play.
