I'd previously expressed my excitement both about the games I was going to run, and the games I was going to play at Gateway. I was not disappointed.

First up on Friday I was GMing in Games on Demand. I offered Dungeon World again. In this session, four characters ventured into the Wreck of the Mermaid Queen: Bob, dwarf cleric of Kalintir, god of healing and restoration; Korath the Righteous, Paladin of Kalintir; Apos, human wizard from a magical lineage with a dark secret; and Fade, aloof but ( Read more... )

The last NZ con of my trip, Confusion, was held on Saturday in Brooklyn, Wellington, at the same great little venue as Day of Games in May. Confusion featured three rounds of gaming; the first two sessions were three hours long and the last was meant to be four, but most of the games ended early.

Day of Games last Saturday was the centrepeice to a great weekend. More than that, it bled over into my subsequent week in interesting and awkward ways.

Let's start at the beginning. I arrived in Wellington on Wednesday evening and spent Thursday with surrealfish and prolegomenon before the arrival of k2vsate, javelin_nz and confusiontempst. Thus began the drinking and the Dominion. There was a brief ( Read more... )
