Pentacon 2006

I'm back!

Everyone is asleep.

A full report will come later, with video and everything. IN brief, normanrafferty cruelly made me sleep on the floor (okay, so I fell out of bed and stayed there), halfelf and hammergrrl need to visit us, The Incredible Mr. Zodo introduced me to a new kind of paper clip, Jolly Blackburn is the nicest gaming professional I've ever met, Fort Wayne is very clean and rolls up the sidewalks at 7 PM.

Seriously, people, when pyat is walking around at 8 PM on a Saturday night and finding things quiet... you got one dull city. :)

Gamers in Fort Wayne exist in a weird bubble. There are a lot of them, and they mostly play games called Darkus Thell and Dragonstorm. Darkus Thel has been around since 1975, and is totally unknown outside of Fort Wayne. Most of the players seemed to be women, and they all had costumes. It was odd.


My last visit of the trip was to kianir and tigerwolfvix, in Detroit. We had fried cheese balls! Kia was more relaxed and happy than I've ever seen him. I blame Vix.

Many kudos to doc_mystery for the loan of a swell camera and some pulp horror tapes, as well as Daniel Pinkwater stuff to listen to!
