Conpulsion 09: an erratic passing view

Home early due to (a) getting one player for Buffy this afternoon and (b) the new format, where the pub quiz was on Friday and drinking up time is 6.15 this evening anyways. As [livejournal.com profile] joexnz noted while very helpfully printing handouts, there are good reasons for this not least allowing setting up early, but I felt that the 1 1/4 hour pub quiz alone (and apparently two tabletop games as well) wasn't really enough for the extra evening. Maybe kick a LARP group or somesuch to do more things next year for more options. More days good!

The lovely and ever generous Janet bought both the things I put in the auction, one of which isn't in the country yet (hello guys!) for more than I paid for 'em, so that's cool. And I got to run Hollow Earth Expedition for a full house, and talk to some folks (hello folks!) so I still feel like I've achieved something.

OTOH I missed all the seminars and never did find my copy of The Extraordinary Adventures Of Baron Munchausen to get it signed. Go me!

Good con, I think, despite these all-about-me things.

In other news, Primeval's back! And using the same Egyptian demon I used for my Stargate game. I'd say great minds think alike, but one of them is mine, so let's not get nuts here.

was a change of format certainly
I hadn't actually specified a length for the pub quiz
also the bar on sunday night needs to be a bit longer (after all by that point its up to the teviot to kick you out)
and I think alan will be beefing up the line up certainly.


and yay primeval!

Jolly good!

And an extra yay for fighting the BBC's Robin Hood!

Primeval - as in Unheilig's competitive storytelling game?

Nope, as in ITV's competitive timetravelling series. (http://www.itv.com/Primeval/)
