We're meeting the others for breakfast in a little bit. Maybe a game of Apples to Apples, maybe not. Then we scatter. Emily's driving out after, since she has a 7-hour drive. Scott and I may wander or may not, depending on when we scatter. Some of the otehrs may go back to the con, but no one in our group is going to play in a full game today, I don't think.
The Wyn D'mere game (Tales of Wyn D'mere) yesterday was decent, but the "innovative" system didn't seem very innovative to me. Good adventure; just not so interested in the game. Slight variations on familiar mechanics, what seems to be a moderately generic high fantasy setting. Very fun adventure, tho'. Not bad, just not new enough to want to buy a pdf file of it (which is all he sells). Whee.
The same thing with Revelations, as well. I'm really glad I played in both - but I wouldn't buy either. Scott was in the Wyn D'mere game with me and then he just watched anime all evening until the meeting. He enjoyed it, so that's good.
A game of Apples to Apples in the hallway as we met, back to the hotel, another game in the suite, pizza, and then sleep. And, oh yes, yesterday morning and the art show. I got pretties for me and a few gifts. Stephanie Pui-Mun Law was there; I have a small print of hers and some bookmarks for myself. Then I hit the exhibit hall and bought Apples to Apples plus all expansions. I did also end up getting Children of the Sun, after talking to the developer; it really is (from the look and sound of it; I skimmed bits before buying) better than the demo game showed. Besides, it has a bunch of color interior art done by Stephanie Pui-Mun Law.
I'm very glad we came; this was fun. I never did catch up with the third person I was supposed to meet here - and, which I regret way more, didn't talk to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
therck again. I got too scattered at the times when I could have. Heck, I was too scattered most of the time. (I actually did see her again, yesterday, but she was going into an elevator half a hallway away, so....)
Scott and I are packed and dressed and ready (if not entirely willing) to go. A few more minutes and we can knock on the suite door without being horribly, rudely early. Breakfast is a good thing.
