I don't even know what to say. This is real, this is true, so, like, thank you all, from the bottom of my heart. This took over 25 years to happen so if there's any lesson here it's either "keep at it, who knows" or "many people are divorced"

I'm likely attending Gen Con next year, work permitting. The two areas I wish I could have explored were Games on Demand and the BGG Hot Games room. Next year: no escape room, no Starship Horizons, no True Dungeon. I don't regret doing them this year, but now I know where my tastes lie.

I didn't get a chance to write about True Dungeon at Gen Con. It was a cool experience that I think everyone should try at least once. It's one of the show's more expensive tickets (close to $100), but the effort, logistics, and tech involved are remarkable. 🧵

Starship Horizons is the biggest disappointment of the weekend so far for me. Set was very nice, but software was so buggy, we effectively paid $76 a ticket to playtest. Long stretches of just sitting around because bugs kept our ship from moving faster than a crawl. Play Artemis instead. It works.

Seen at Gen Con: a robed dog carrying a lightsaber in their mouth, walking at a fast trot. A costumed woman behind them shouts, "No, not that way!" The dog halts, looks back at her, then walks alongside her into the correct room.
