Back from Essen SPIEL that is

Loot from Essen SPIEL:

Esoterrorists 2nd Ed.
Secret of Zir'An
Unknown Armies 2nd Ed. (Only ever had the 1st edition)
Feng Shui
Swashbucklers of the 7 Skies
Microscope
Mortal Coil Revised edition
WoD: Slasher
Some limited edition fudge/fate dice from Grey Ghost
A D30. Never had one of those before
A weird Schwarze Auge dice which may be for hit locations.
Two extra copies of Fate Accelerated Edition (for gifts and such)
An English-language quickstart for the German-language rpg Finsterland.

The real treat was hanging out with my dear friend Robb though.

Took the Köln-Hamburg express for the first leg of my journey home yesterday. The landscape was beautiful sun-drenched fields and colorful leaves. It was running late though, so I was worrying that I might be stranded in Hamburg without much money or a working phone.
Of course I did not make it in time for the connecting train. We wound up being a whopping hour and change late. I talked to the people at Deutsche Bahn (showing my world class pitifulness-skills). and they finally let me take the next train with no extra charge. That was a class act, since the Köln-Hamburg Express isn't a DB line.
After that it was pretty smooth sailing. Two hours in a compartment with no light and a kicking toddler was nothing! I smiled at him and listened to Ligotti's The Bungalow House on my mp3-player.
Still was genuinely happy and relieved to cross the the German-Danish border! Arrived home two hours late, but very happy. This entry was originally posted at http://hafwit.dreamwidth.org/24907.html. Please comment there using OpenID.
