Stuff from GenCon

So instead of double posting I'll just provide a link to my post for my GenCon wrap up. It was a good time! Read on

GenCon

Is almost here! I'd note that this would delay any posts but they are generally delayed anyways so it's unlikely anyone would notice. Not that there's much to notice here. Really thinking about ending this...

However until I do will attempt to give a decent GenCon report on stuff I see and swag I get. It's a little sad that I am going to such an enjoyable event while Georgia is being invaded and bullied by Russia whilst the West watches in the wings. Granting Georgia isn't entirely blameless but we're now allowing Russia to throw its brunt around without so much as dire threat in its direction. Sometimes politics is depressing as people die and the big countries just bandy about words. Perhaps that's just the truth of things but somehow I think people in Gori would prefer a squadron of B2 bombers rather then threats that this will hurt Russia's relations with the West.

I Belive in Harvey Dent

So after helping Carl move he borrowed me most of the major Batman graphic novels (technically all are comps of comics) that lays out the basis for the new Batman movies. I've plugged through Batman: Year One and The Long Halloween. They are interesting particularly with the correlations to the new movies. Something to read. I don't read enough anymore even though I have tons and tons of reading material. For instance 20 books waiting to be read and 3 being read (most started in about March or February of this year). Part of that distraction is gaming books which I do read randomly -I've only ever read Ptolus straight through- which eats up my reading time. Right now Alpha Omega has my attention. I need to look a little more into Burning Empires since that is new to my shelves as well.

Of course for GenCon prep I really, really need to go over Exalted 2nd Ed rules.

That's all for now!

That's Horrible I Mean Great

So apparently Dr. Horrible is still available online. So go check it out. I hadn't realized this but it was helpfully pointed out by a friend!

Still waiting on for the soundtrack. It'll be fun to listen to heading down to GenCon. Is all for now.
