Gameday

Fun post First

Today I went to The Boston ENworld Gameday, and it seems a good time was had by all.

It was held at the home of [info]viking_cat and [info]kid_cthulhu and their two Tollers.

The first game of the morning was a Castle Zagyg adventure run by the surviving author. The game was dedicated to Gary Gygax. I played a Gnome Illusionist (/Rogue) and did quite well. In spite of my AC 10 I took no damage. I gamed with (I believe) ShadowDenizen, Bruce K., Zephrin the Lost, Nellisir, Kriskrafts, & Skinnydwarf.

The second game of the day (that I was in) had us laughing nearly nonstop. The players (and their characters) were: Eridanis (Dr. Leonard McCoy of Star Trek); Zephrin the Lost (Jim DiGriz of The Stainless Steel Rat); Anti-Sean (Zap Brannigan of Futurama); Umbran (John Crichton of Farscape); MavrickWeirdo (Maxwell Smart of Get Smart); Nellisir (Ellen Ripley of Aliens); and Thornir Alekeg (Alfred Bester of Babylon 5)

The Premise was "An indestructible device exists on the planet Oxnard, fourth planet in the Rhynarr solar system. Once every eight days this object taps into an alternate dimension and transports a humanoid individual to this world. Nobody knows exactly how the device works, who built it, or what it’s original purpose was. However the ‘Worlds Apart Intergalactic Employment Agency’ is now capitalizing upon the object’s existence by finding employment for whoever the device delivers. They are currently staffing a crew for an intergalactic spaceship."

I need to game more often.

Now that sounds utterly brilliant! Yes, you should game more often. :)

Of course, I read this and think "You have friends with Tollers and all you talk about is the _game_???"

You have friends with Tollers... how did I not know this? (It's not like it's a breed that crops up on every corner, after all. :-) )

While I have known viking_cat for years now, this was the first tim e I have been over his house, and the first time I met his wife.

So that is why it hasn't come up that his wife trains Tollers for Agility Competitions

In that case, you're forgiven for not mentioning them before now. :-P

Oh, and I've friended them both, so if they're wondering why a random stranger suddenly popped up in the "Friends Of" lists, I'm blaming you. :-P

tollers are super adorable.

If the game slots hadn't filled up in under 24 hours, I would have been there too, but after my last expereince I no longer go to gamedays just to play. Not that anyone missed, me. *cry*

Gaming with Tollers at my house would involve trying to keep the fuzzy redheads out of the middle of everything 'cause they're convinced that People In The House equals People Who Came To Pet Dogs.

We were 30 people in 4 different rooms, so the dogs would visit a room for a while, then leave once we finished off our snacks.

Friday night as I was getting my character together for the gameday I was thinking that you and I haven't chatted for a while
