Yes, I really wrote all of these while at the con. Yes, I'm nuts.

Or you can just read them at my recent entries page, at least while they're still recent. Fewer new pages to open, at least.
Also, what I didn't describe in those posts, was the Revelations game I played in. So here's a quick description of that.
We were a team of people working for the Order, which tried to keep the supernatural under control (even if we were it, sometimes). We started the game with a three-month discontinuity: we'd been catapulted into the future. And...it was Hell on Earth. The apocalypse had come, and the demons had won it. We had to survive, get information, get back in time to when we'd been jumped from, and stop the demons from doing this.
We did it. I got to play Jynx, leader of the group and a bit trigger happy. There were some really memorable moments (stealing one of our superior's boat because we needed the transportation to get out to the Statue of Liberty in the middle of the night; breaking into their email/journals in the future-time to learn things) in there. It was a lot of fun. We did have a 12-year-old in the game who didn't really seem to know what to do with even his basic combat-character, and I think he was very bored by the end of it (his mother was also in the game), but he wasn't disruptive.
One quote from that game (during a cell phone convo):
"What's with the gun fire?"
"Demon in the library!"
