Will, Josh, and I talked at OrcCon about trying to organize another Game Day this spring. Thoughts on that? I'd love to come down for one.

How was everybody's con?

Well Gateway is over now. What are your thoughts on the con? I had a great time gaming and hanging out with everybody.

So how was it for you?

Mine was rocking despite the few missing faces and the lack of their games, and the new RPG room layout. Which wasn't too bad for the noise, but was bad for the funk.

Delta Green classic Cthulhu was solid though we did get a little sidetracked with the little monster in the beginning rather than going after the big elder god being milked in a basement like we were supposed to.

So now that our sunburns have set in, do that discussing thing.

So how did the con go for everybody? Share the high and low points. Did any new and exciting things happened for you?

I've followed from great afar this role playing movement called "Jeepform" from Scandinavia. The 10 second summary is like this: very focused, short, effecting live action role playing, except nothing like the LARPs we know. Small games, (like 12 players absolute tops, usually more like 4-8), usually with 2 GMs, systems so light it's easy to miss them. Very much a focus on telling a story over and above playing a character.

For lotsa more details, check out jeepen.org.

What did you play?
How were the games?
What will you take away from it?
Did you have any faux pas moments?

UPDATE: Episode airs at 8:30 pm PST; we'll let the TiVo catch it and then watch it without commercials. With regards to food, I'm leaning towards Pizza Hut/Wing Street. If you're a planning on coming and are a vegetarian or have any other dietary requirements, please let me know ASAP.

As predicted, Comic-Con gave us a confirmed date: September 21st. I'm inviting registered NerdSoCal members to my home that evening so we can watch it together. Please r.s.v.p. in the comments (I will send you our address), and be warned that we have several cats and a dog. Children welcome!

Okay, I'm fiating that we'll be barbequeing at Ken Hahn Recreation Area, which is just near the 10 and 405 freeways and should therefore be pretty easy for everybody to get to. There's a $4 per vehicle parking fee to get in, so make sure you have some singles.
