Weekend
On Friday ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tpau and I picked up juldea, went and muddled around a bit with a pharmacy, and headed out to WPI for Gaming Weekend. Awesomeness ensued.
I was somehow under the impression thatmpgalvin and shogunhb would be the only people I even vaguely knew there (aside from our crash-space-provider londo). As it turned out I think I knew about 30% of the atendants, including drdt, mr_teem, qedrakmar, pawo, and a surprising number of people I hadn't seen since I was a freshman at WPI and who I never thought would be involved with the gaming community.
The three days run together a bit, particularly since we got to bed around dawn both Friday and Saturday nights, so much of the weekend is just a blur of Bang (nifty game I'd never seen before), Apples to Apples when I was feeling braindead, Roborally (still lots of fun, but I had forgotten how slow it can be), occasional DDR, and a profusion of random other games. Didn't get into much deep strategy, opting for novelty instead. Friday night a large group of us played Pictophone, a hilarious lightweight game in which sentences are passed around a circle on pieces of paper, with each player alternately translating to and from pictographs, much as in Telephone but actually fun.
A large chunk of my Saturday was spent hanging out withdrdt and running Blind Cosmic Encounter with him. Fun time. I wish I'd been able to go to the King Lear cast party and/or jjaquinta's party, both of which look like they were a lot of fun; in fact I had mad party-hopping plans, but they failed annoyingly so I was stuck only having one kind of fun at once. Ah, well.
Sundaytpau, juldea, mr_teem, and I played in shogunhb's Care Bears Call of Cthulu one-shot, which was extremely amusing and might have been genuinely creepy except for the wacky Care Bearness (I played Kung-Fu Action Bear).
After some more random gaming (including my introduction to Bohnanza, which is pretty fun) a mob of us descended on TGIF along with an old WPI friend I hadn't seen in some time. Much fun and alcohol was had. Got home around ten, and crashed in fairly short order after that.
