So, the floodgates opened on the first pick of games for Intercon. My choice was clear. "For those in Peril on the Sea" is about whaling, 19th Century, a sensory game, and SINGING! Plus, it is run by someone I trust. AND THERE WILL BE A WHALE, RIGHT!
*ahem* In any case, it was a small game, and I feel a bit selfish for grabbing a spot, but I don't care. I am also quite excited having learned the other players. This is a nice feature this year and gets a positive thumbs up from me. While I would have learned about some of the other players, some I don't know well enough to follow their journals/fb/media. I am quite psyched for this group. It will be a good game.
I think I will be greedy in my second pick for Saturday Night as well. Spring River sounds like a great game, and could be a very emotional experience. The GM team is a solid, and popular one, and I am surprised there are many openings at this point. If I fail to get into this A Song of Mergers and Acquisitions will be a fun, and easily costumed game.
I am entertaining greed in my choice 1 & 2 because I think the rest of my con may well be spent running and assisting where I can. I hope to crunch for Stop That Moon! and have offered my assistance in Planetfall. Then, there is my game. Thus, the schedule is full.
Next year I hope to run a LARGE game. We will have to see what inspiration hits. Bess and I have joked and considered a horde game based on "Too Many Cooks." That could be truly frightening, but might involve a writing party and a lot of alcohol.
