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.

Origins?

Anyone at Origins this year?

I am tying it into a spot of holiday and will be meeting up with my Canadian mates.

Haven't posted for a while so most of you will have no idea who I am which is probably a good thing :)

Be great to catch up for beers or whatevers.

Hey Jibbajibba, long time no see (on the forum)!

Didn't know (or forgot) you were a fellow Canuckistan.

Me Canadian... oh my good grief no :)

One of my mates moved over there after he mustered out of the Royal Navy.
I do have a lot of time for you colonial chaps however, although sharing a room with 4 of them always fills me with dread (between the farts and the snoring it would be quieter to try and sleep in a steel mill...) .

Haven't been writing on the board as haven't really been gaming since I moved back to the UK, well aside from playing MtG. Got a couple of board games I am going to pass to my Canadian chums to play test for me though.

Love to hear your thoughts on Origins!

It's on my To-Do list and I've always heard great things about the con.

I don't know what other folk would say but in my previous visit I found it more intimate that GenCon. I don't just mean the size but last time, a few years back now, we found ourselves playing boardgames with the Pinnacle team, drinking in the bar with a lot of designers etc.
Might have been just that one year (2011???) or it might be that its just smaller but definitely a different feel.
