Wellington's annual Games on Demand con, Day of Games, was on Saturday. This time it was in Brooklyn so the food options were better than the usual spot in the business district on a weekend. I even managed to find a market with a couple of decent beer options.

For the first session, I almost played Psi*Run, but a couple of latecomers turned up, ( Read more... )

Who am I kidding, I only run one game.

I spent all the Sunday sessions camped out in the Games on Demand rooms, so none of these games were on the schedule.

I'm busy printing out all my Kapcon game materials this weekend.

I have:

• Dungeon World
  
• Monster of the Week
  
• Cyber World
  
• Hollowpoint
  
• Agon

Plus I can run 3:16 and Psi*Run if someone else has the materials.

I finalised my schedule for Kapcon last night.

As I noted previously, I'm running my Dungeon World Scenario The Tree of Souls in Session 1 (Saturday Morning). It's full of Christchurch peeps, so that will help spread the word of Dungeon World to Wellington... ;) Fortunately there's another Dungeon World game on offer. Someone with a handle I don't ( Read more... )

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... )

A couple of articles that came my way recently:

Wellingtons food in the LA Times Travel section: Tasty Wellington, a place to be eaten up.

I just finished a very pleasant and nostalgic trip to Wellington and boy did it turn on the classic wild weather for me. Most of my trip was spent up on the Kapiti Coast. I have discovered on this trip that my sleep is not easily disturbed by babies, so I was unfazed by her late night antics.

My single trip into Wellington proper was the worst day ( Read more... )

I arrived in Wellington on Wednesday and have spent the last couple of days in Paraparaumu. My visit has been a bit stealth this time, as I've been spending time with surrealfish and prolegomenon and their grumpy mini-them. Today I'm heading into the city for my usual coffee/lunch whirlwind ( Read more... )

Today has been Genesis (Phil, not Adam), Hesiod, Iliad, Republican invective, shopping and grilled steak and arugula; now it's Castle. After Dollhouse, it's a bit simple and undemanding, but Fillion is good. ABC really sucks for ads though, especially compared to Fox.
