CanGames 2017 Begins Today
Well, today is the start of CanGames, the local gaming convention here in Ottawa. I'm not working today, thank Goddess, so will be spending part of the morning putting together some of the stuff that I'll need for the con, among other things.
Once more, for those who are going to the convention or who might be interested, here's the listing of the games that I'm running with times and descriptions included...
*****
The Statuette of Zhar Bagra
Game: Coriolis - The Third Horizon RPG
Time: Friday, 7:00 pm - 11:00 pm
Number of Players: 5
Description: While on Coriolis Station, your player characters are asked by a scholar to help him retrieve an artefact that needs to be returned to the planet Kua, below. Why do so many people want the artefact, and what sort of intrigue have you got yourselves into this time? Try out this new, unique science fiction rpg that is basically “Arabian Nights in space”. Crew a starship and explore the ancient mysteries of The Third Horizon!
The Dixmude Affair
Game: Primeval RPG
Time: Saturday, 2:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Number of Players: 6
Description: After returning to the present through an Anomaly to find the timeline terribly wrong, you and the other player characters learn that history changed in 1923 with the fate of the airship Dixmude being altered. Can you fix the timeline, or is it too late?
Summer Break and Killer Birds
Game: Tales From the Loop RPG
Time: Saturday,7:00 pm - 11:00 pm
Number of Players: 4
Description: Summertime in Sweden. Boredom and bliss in equal measure. But something's wrong. It all starts with a talking bird, and soon you're involved in a nefarious plot. Can you solve the Mystery before it's too late? Tales From the Loop is a game of roleplaying in the ‘80s that never was, based on artist Simon Stalenhag’s paintings of Swedish 1980s suburbia, populated by fantastic machines and strange beasts. You play teenagers solving Mysteries connected to the Loop.
Dark Flowers
Game: Coriolis - The Third Horizon RPG
Time: Sunday, 2:00 pm - 6 pm
Number of Players: 5
Description: While passing through the Dabaran system on a routine trade mission, your characters are contacted by The Foundation, and asked to proceed to a set of coordinates and investigate the disappearance of a missing ship carrying one of its researchers, a professor Siyab Dahiljaba. What will you find? Try out this new, unique science fiction rpg that is basically “Arabian Nights in space”. Crew a starship and explore the ancient mysteries of The Third Horizon!

I've also got a bunch of stuff that I'll be selling at the convention this year (you can see the list of games for sale in this blog entry), and hopefully I can sell this stuff for some reasonable sums, as I could use a bit of money for later in the year.
Health-wise, I have a couple of problems that I've gone into in other posts, so won't dwell on here. Since I do have walking problems because of the diabetes, don't be surprised if I take off my shoes at times during the course of the convention. The weekend should be interesting, to say the least.
I won't be posting any blog entries during the weekend, so folks will have to wait for when I've got time at the start of next week and into the week itself for reports and the like (not to mention any photos I do take) about CanGames 2017. I may tweet from the convention on my mobile phone over the weekend, and will hopefully take a few photos as well of stuff for posting here and elsewhere.
In any event, I hope I'll see some of you at the convention. Since you've seen the photo of me here on my blog, you'll know who to look for. The hair's a bit more gray, and there's a bit less of it, that's all. :)
