I've been reading paranormal romances lately, and they are largely kind of horrific in one way or another.  Some are poorly written, some are well-written but there's a lot that doesn't make sense, some are well-written with fascinating worlds that are ignored in favour of sex with everyone in a ten-foot radius (Anita Blake, you trashy ho).   Some ( Read more... )

I played Changeling:  The Lost.  Apparently, my character was based on Gambit, which was super-funny in retrospect.  Though I'm not goning to buy it, it's a good game - if you're into it, I would recommend it.  Also, I tip my hat to the STs, who pre-genned 100 characters ( Read more... )

I have arrived at GenCon mostly unharmed.  Mostly.  I have fallen down twice, bruised my entire right shin, broke six of my twelve duty-free Sleeman Honey Brown Beer, and I forgot two key compnents of an outfit.  Also, my hotel went from a Radisson to a Sheraton, which has changed a lot of stuff about the hotel.  Plus, we drove around looking for ( Read more... )

There's a lot going on, so if I've been difficult to get a hold of or light on my LJ entries, that's my excuse. However, I've been putting this off for a long while, so ( Read more... )

Geeks of the world unite.  If there's anyone out there either a) interested in GenCon and want to go or b) going to GenCon and need hotel space, please let me know!

We leave Toronto on Thursday Aug. 16 and come back Monday Aug. 20th; we have a hotel room at the Radisson from Thurs - Sun.

Anyone who's going and have all this covered - see you

So, Gary and I decided to sign up for a few events ahead of time.  Other than this, I think we'll either just kick around, or see what we can pick up.  There's a random alt-Venice game, Changeling: The Lost, and Gary's next go at the Game of Thrones tournament.  He says he has a deck that might be tough to beat, but I've heard that before.  ( Read more... )
