So, I guess I was wrong about posting again once I had my vendor space setup at Con of the North.
As soon as I was setup, I was playing a game — seriously. So, it’s really not my fault … I’m guessing you all would have been doing the same thing.
Sadly, my original “booth babe”, Whitney, is fighting off a bug and hasn’t been able to attend yet … but I’m guessing we’ll see her at some point this weekend. 😉 Just got word that my wife and kids will be coming to stay with me at the hotel tonight, which is pretty cool. Very likely to have Britt or Anna working in the space tomorrow for some of the time.
I do want to give grand thanks to Donovan Loucks, who I ran into right away. He came up with a novel way to get my “T” shaped table setup to work (and he is the reason for my instant gaming).
He and I played through a 2-player game of “Magistrate” — the prototype I’m excited to test a lot this weekend … and it really helped to reveal a number of areas where balance issues still abound. We were also able to “talk shop” about different ways to improve the design. As for the result of the game … he smoked me! He played as blue and I as green … that’s his flag pawn near the end of the VP track and mine *way* down toward the start of the track. See the final shot to the right.
