CanGames 2010 Day 1 Report

On my coffee break this morning.

Decided that I better start writing up the reports on the weekend that was at CanGames 2010. These reports aren't going to be as detailed as I might normally write them, 'cause I was pretty under the weather with the bowel problems and all (although that may be resolving now due to the doctor's taking me off one

Good report on the first day of the con as usual, John. :) SteveB and I really liked reading it (yes, he's home today, but is feeling pretty good at the moment).

When we were doing the playtesting of "Keeping the Peace" some pretty strange things happened, and the interactions among the player characters was at times more interesting than what was going on in Jerusalem. Happy to see that occurred in the actual convention running as well.

Thanks for the kind compliments, Kath, and good to hear that SteveB is doing all right at the moment.

I was happy to see the inter-party relationships/conflicts in the game at CanGames as well, and had a pretty good time with it.

Just so that you know, John, SteveB, Ellie, and I had wanted to go to the convention on Saturday - and maybe try to convince you to stay for the evening game and run another Doctor Who one - but when we got to the curling club venue, the heat and humidity was just too much for SteveB. Ellie was pretty disappointed.

I must say that you were heroic for gaming in that heat and humidity. I'm not sure if I were a GM that I would have been that devoted to my craft. :)

I keep hoping these past few years that the three of you will make it out to CanGames for some game play and stuff, but one thing or another keeps you guys from joining in the fun. The nature of dealing with Real Life(tm) issues and all, I guess. One of these years... :)

The heat and humidity (not to mention at times the gamey-ness of gamers) is a common thread to all gaming conventions not run in hotel venues and the like. This year was bad in terms of the heat and humidity because the Rideau Curling Club was undergoing renovations. It's not usually as bad, but there's also that this summer promises to be really bad. I managed by keeping hydrated, but my allergies were killing me. The things I do for gaming... :)

Glad the game came off well.

Makes two of us. Always grateful when that happens. :)

Sounds like a great game was had by all!

I wish I could have been there (sigh).

It was a pretty good game, to be honest. :)

One of these years, we need to get you up to CanGames somehow, don't we? :)

Btw, I've got the CHILL rpg material, so drop me a line in e-mail, and we can talk about it if you're still interested.
