2019 GaryCon Journal Saturday

The first order of today was to get to Bitner's Bakery and pick up some donuts to take home (not open on Sundays)

So I got a dozen for home, 2 Bacon Maple and 2 Apple fritters


Ruins of Juneau - 77 Lost Worlds

I have been reading Craig Martelle's books on and off over the last year and I actually dropped in to watched this game being played at the last GaryCon (Last year after the game, Craig went a wrote the book and put it up on Amazon before the con was over)

I had to get in on this one. This turned out to be several Authors and several GMs in this game and most had ties to Fireside Creations (Stephen Lee)

I played the Wolfoid, I named him Grrr  - Forgot to see if I could pick up this miniature

We had a blast but did not get a lot accomplished except destruction, Mayhem and burned down the bar (Evil Stephen)

Shuffling Horror: INNSMOUTH 32

Next I joined Larry Wickman for a great game of Shuffling Horror... First time I got to try the new game with the H. P. Lovecraft. Theme

Wickedly fun, one of the best Horror games where the director really wants to kill off everyone

OH, I really loved the new board... If you want to try it out

After the event, I had some free time so I thought I would go to the dealer room

approaching the lobby, I thought "I know Saturdays are busy, but this is nuts" Then I realized I had actually showed up for the picture

Then I was able to get to the the Presentation of the Gygax Lifetime Award to Larry Elmore

Next, it was time for me to get Jim Ward signatures on a few items and a new picture... 

I ran into Lynn and she was looking to get items Signed by Larry Elmore... he had a crowd and we went in and someone was taking a picture with him, when they finished I called out to Larry to pose with Lynn, then to sign her stuff... I know how it feels to meet people for the first time and ask for Autographs and Pics... 



Back to Gaming 
The Pirates of Dark Water, the Lost Episodes

I did not get any pics but the Game went very well and the players were happy. The Dragonscales RPG rules uising the Ward Card System gave a great flow to the game

My Final 2 games of Saturday were board games

Donner Dinner Party and Sparkle*Kitty Nights

I did not get any pictures from Donner Dinner party


I did get some from Sparkle*Kitty Nights and both of the games were really fun to Play

Afterwards, I wandered for a bit and Spotted Luke Gygax (Who had been avoiding me) I basically said I have a great time regardless and walked away to the tune of 

"It is what it is"
