Origins 2008--the exhausted overview
Back from Origins and super-tired. I don't have the stamina to do a full write-up now, and work has already let me know that I won't have the time to do one for the rest of the week. So I'll hit the high points now and do a full write up over the holiday weekend. As always, Origins was a great, fun convention.

Some highlights:

  • Driving out and back with Kat, Dalys, and Bill was loads of fun. I finally got to win at the cow game!

  • Dalys' birthday was at the con. Bill stood on a chair in the exhibit hall and let everyone know.

  • Got to play Serial with Clarence & Naomi. Great game where the serial killer turned out to be a contestant on America's Next Top Model.

  • Carey, the hardcore With Great Power... fan, played in every WGP... event Kat and I ran. She brought the melodrama with a side of angst.

  • I GMed a game of Acts of Evil and didn't really do anything evil, except maybe devour Don's hand ... but he had it coming.

  • Got to play Best Friends with Peter and Gary Atkinson, Jared and Luke. All my friends picked on me. I hate them.

  • Would you believe karaoke?

  • Peanut butter milkshakes! Mmmm.

  • More playtesting with Ralph, Luke, and Dan (?) wherein I failed to redeem a mad god.

  • Luke finishing up the publishing panel with "We'll gladly stick around for specific questions, but we've talked for about an hour and forty-five minutes straight. Hope you caught the massive info-dump." And his invisible white board.

Good times. Now, sleep and a return to real life. Yuck.

Thanks again for the ride, company and darn good conversation. In other news my son owns Pepper and never learned to play. We just finished 4 quick rounds so thanks again.
