GMB - My Gaming Blog: 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,

limited print run..

#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
