Almost Spring...

18 Feb

I'm a rather quiet and reserved person at home, but I seem to change radically in public. I get invited to a lot of game conventions (and I'll come to yours if you'll cover all expenses; just email me). In that public setting I can be congenial, witty, crowd-pleasing... but in my usual environment I'm a recluse. In this way I think Ed Greenwood and I may have much in common.

My wife and I are in the process of making our final home. We began with a place that was built around 1885, sitting well back from the road amidst two acres, a half-acre of woods filling the west end. The project will take several months. Costly. :/ Gotta sell a chunk of my game collection -- important stuff -- to fund it.

But as I said, it's almost Spring and I'm about to crawl back out of my hole, like the groundhog. So:

Off to TotalCon (.com) this week! Not sure, but iirc I first went 5 years ago. A lot's happened since then, including the birth of Eldritch... Tim comes too, these days. Hats off to the TC Staff, who appreciate us old-time TSR folk and subsidize our attendance, even though Old School gaming is a relatively small part of the con.

Next up will be GaryCon (.com), in March. It's become the premier OldSchool con, and a TSR employee reunion venue as well. This year's will include a lot about the remaining Ernest Gary Gygax -- Gary's eldest son -- who just lost everything he owns in a home fire. No lives lost, and his dog escaped too, but tragic news. :/

Several other cons on my sched this year, including OSRcon (.ca) in Toronto, for the first time! I like Toronto. Will get to hang with my old friend Ed Greenwood for a change; we're both always too busy at cons to take any time for ourselves. Maybe we'll play a drinking game. ;>

And of course there's GenCon (.com), in August, as usual. Haven't missed any (of the USA versions at least) for more than 30 years. You'll find me in the Auction room as usual.
