I ease up to my table and Phil comes over and asks me if I want to play in his Pathfinder game but I explain I'm at the convention to run CoC. His eyes widen and he whispers, "Cthulhu..." and he slowly backed up and I never spoke with him again. |
The chairs in this room were by far the most comfortable chairs I've ever had at a con. They even reclined! Now the bad news, even though it's something that's easily possible, the Events Coordinator refuses to ensure a spot for me near an outlet and also threatens something about extension cords. This spells doom for the monitor and laptop guy right? WRONG BIOTCH! Say hello to my little friend! I have 350 watt hours at my disposal which is plenty to power my gear for this game. Ha! No extension cords needed! |
I was sweating out having no players when these guys from Chicago showed up to rescue me! These guys were a lot of fun. Not pictured is Chicago guy #3 but that's OK because he was not as fun as the first two anyway. These guys had a hilarious comment about every event picture I showed them and I struggled to keep up with the wit. The young lady pictured here didn't care for their salty language but she had no trouble maintaining her independence and survived the game. Not all of the Chi-town guys did... |
Friends GrandCon 2018 Saturday was interesting. I breezed through will call and you can see why. The number one positive note to reviews was that this convention is not crowded like Gen Con. I'll agree with that 100% but now I'm worried there aren't enough players for all of the games and even more specifically, my game. This is primarily a boardgame convention but they grudgingly supply space for RPGs. By that I mean they supply space for Pathfinder organized events and then even more grudgingly supply space for other stuff. That's where I come in trying to run my little Call of Cthulhu game. |
