Intercon was this past weekend. My games were pretty fun (save for one which was cancelled on account of a cancelled flight). Plans gone wrong, angst IN SPACE, and one game set in a corporate-cyberpunk-dystopia version of the world of Game of Thrones. Plus an Iron GM game that seemed very put-together for having been written in a single weekend ( Read more... )

Intercon was fun. Hiterby Dragons is one heck of a setting.

Speaking of games and settings, I'm excited to see that Shadowrun Returns has completed their Kickstarter and is well underway with the development of their game. Shadowrun is a great setting, the tabletop game had mechanics that really worked well with that setting, and the developers ( Read more... )

Intercon was fun this year! Played in a few games:

I'm at Intercon this weekend. Horribly nerdy, but fun. I've greatly enjoyed all the games I've played in so far (my favorite being this evening's, a story of the Last Supper (passover seder and all) set in an environmental-apocalyptic not-far-future, with elements of space colonization and time travel ( Read more... )

Well, I registered for Intercon and signed up for games. I still need to figure out transportation and so on, but I'm sure I'll manage somehow... (They've got a game based on The Pushcart War, so I'm happy about that. And they're doing an additional run of "A Tale of Time Travel", too.)
