GaryCon 2018 - Swag, Purchases and etcetera

So this is a mix up of things I have acquired at GaryCon

It may not be in any order

My Gold Badge, and GM Perks 

(Including Swag Bag)

 I donated some cookies and Caroline provided me the banner (I did offer a few dollars btw)

Single die really set off my Dice OCD... would have loved a pair

  Again, a single Die !!!!

I like this mini...

This is a pretty cool Sticker

Yes, I keep the bags

I did mean to use this

Cups... 

this is a really Cool shirt

I actually wanted this in blue, but they they were not released as the staff had not gotten theirs yet

---------------------------------------------------------

I got this at the Frog God's game booth 

          This actually came From Eric Tenker, the Tavern Keeper

-------------------------------------------------------

From Frank Mentzer, one for me and a generous donation to 

Prototype Dice for the Red Box edition

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Swag acquired at the FireFly Game

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I actually received these from Heidi Gygax for my play in her game

AT the End of the game we encountered a Sphinx who gave us 2 riddles... I had the first one answered 2/3rds of the way through and the Second riddle was faulty.. 

(sorry, riddles and Puzzles are my thing)

"In the marble walls as white as wilk, 

lined with skin as soft as silk, 

within a fountain crystal clear, 

a golden apple does appear no doors are there to this stronghold, 

yet thieves break in and steal the gold"

NOTE: Looking at the second riddle, the inconsistency was the assumed use of Morning vs Mourning, this changes the entire riddle

I am the black child of a white father,
a wingless bird, flying even to the clouds of heaven.
I give birth to tears of mourning in pupils that meet me,
even though there is no cause for grief,
and at once on my birth i am dissolved into air.
What am i?

My first answer was Dawn, correct if  the word is Morning.. 

My Second answer, although not fitting the riddle , was FOG

Before I could provide the third answer, they said I had gotten close anough

the Answer was Smoke... my next choice

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I highly recommend these dice... I even bought these to give away  

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

CON Dice from GaryCon 8... Finally

These 2 D20s are a gift from Heath Uisge Farnden and came from a prize vending machine in Australia... Much MANA contained in this pair

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Elmore sketch for the Red box cover,

#2 goal on my list was to acquire this

=======================================================================

I have been looking at this for awhile and finally picked it up.. 

Looking to run a science fiction based game or 

use the rules to run my Larry Niven inspired world

Stephen Lee offered space for the Save Against Fear flyers and also gave me some promo items, I look forward to what I can do with this game

I have already scheduled a game for this Friday (3/23) and we will work up the characters and do a quick run through

And Finally......

 The last one Standing

GaryCon 2018 - SUNDAY

Last Day of an Amazing Adventure.. 
                                                    and Malort

Sunday started out slow as we slept in a bit after messing around late night. I managed not to do much Drinking Saturday night and was glad of the fact. I still had a few people to see, and left over items on my checklist.

First... pack up and load everything we did not need, for me this was a chore because I had so much stuff...

Then, off to game in the second presentation of DragonScales RPG with James Ward

Blood Red Castle of Doom

A strange floating castle has appeared in the clouds above the enchanted city of Concord. You and other heroes must find a way to fly up there by using some rare resources of Concord city. What you find in the cloud castle isn’t pleasant and could be very harmful for the city of Concord. For all players, simple rules will be taught. Bring pencils and paper. Characters provided.

Determined to play better than the day before, Mr. Ward had me killed in my least fitting manner of the weekend..   Of course, I bowed out without any fuss as every player should do.

At least I got the parting gift this day

I had a few more items to attend to before the end of the con. Prior to the con I arranged a Con merchandise credit and lost my email... So, I found Caroline

She texted Luke, and he texted back, and I proceeded to the merchandise table... All happy and well taken care of...

Next on my list was to give the  "Save Against Fear" Dice bags to the three little girls I had watched playing the My Little Pony Game the day before. I had picked out some extremely pretty dice from the Role 4 Initiative booth and John Federkins and filled the three bags

I ran into them with their Mom and complimented them on the game and asked how they liked it. Then presented them with the pretty dice in nice dice bags (Not green like below)

With one more thing I wanted, I headed to find Larry Elmore for one last picture

Now I was done... We headed out to return to Pennsylvania

Picked up some Spotted Cow and Malort on our way out of town

Next.. Swag and stuff I bought 

Note: I really try not to use children's names in my blog. It is my personal choice
