now..
some of you might be wondering..
"what sort of a good day was it?"

Other than seeing a fine film, chat with a wonderful person, with a bit of gaming thrown in.. I did not have ( Read more... )

for Girl Geek Fabulous Contest Week
by Sean "Nix" McConkey

There are many things of which I take an interest, but nothing holds a candle to table-top role-playing.  Movies, books, food, and random gadgets of awesome have always taken a back seat to table top role-playing.  Some context has to be considered, of course.  I am a shy, introverted geeky ( Read more... )

I didn't see it on LJ yet..

sadly, Leslie Nielsen died today from pneumonia..

he was 84..
he was Canadian..
he gave us so much :(

This was my second attempt at Daisho..

over all.. it was a fantastic convention..

I got there all set to run several games, the game store that was basically running the table-top room set aside a very prominent table for it.. and set out sign up sheets.
