This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

I saw from Contessa's FB post that the con was this past weekend.

Did anyone attend the con?  I'm curious how things turned out.

Sacrosanct

I was able to catch bits from a couple sessions, mostly interested in the OSR games and the game design.

Unfortunately in one of the OSR sessions, some dude with long white hair kept picking his nose.  Bad timing to have the webcam display you full screen :)
D&D is not an "everyone gets a ribbon" game.  If you\'re stupid, your PC will die.  If you\'re an asshole, your PC will die (probably from the other PCs).  If you\'re unlucky, your PC may die.  Point?  PC\'s die.  Get over it and roll up a new one.

Gandalf calls them nose lembas.

Apparently some folks are oblivious about what "webcam" actually means.

Old Geezer did a sneezer? :D

In spite of some stupid and in my opinion utterly invalid criticisms, it apparently went off very well.  I did a blog entry in support of it.
