I got to stay in the upstairs Arthur Fonzerelli Suite.
Update: A story that was overlooked due to my illness (the flu and whatnot) near the beginning of 2016.
A rather nice tradition started by the old gaming group I used to belong to and this year I finally took the time to participate. Why? I finally remembered to take them up on the open invitation. In the past I was either ill or I managed to book something else.
Gamers’ Weekend isn’t really a marathon D&D session, it’s more like a personal gaming convention. An opportunity to test out new board games, miniatures and roleplaying sessions that the group normally doesn’t have time to try out. Their usual routine is a D&D campaign about once a week and when it isn’t possible, should the majority of them meet, they may play another one-shot of something else, maybe a different campaign.
My contribution to Gamer’s Weekend of FFG’s X-Wing. The Empire’s forces lost so they’ll want a rematch next year.
When I arrived they were in the middle of a D&D-esque game filled with puns. I turned in though because the drive was a tad harrowing, lots of fog between Austin and Calder. The next day I participated in old Eighties gem of roleplaying…Paranoia which was always hilarious. Then I sat to nap while they played some kind of tea party game. No, not the political idiots, something with manners and exchanges of goodies. After dinner came my contribution of X-Wing. Mark and Strange running eight TIEs against the Johns and Jeremy as the Rebels. The Imperials were off to a strong start as they blew the B-Wing to hell but the Rebels had Wedge and Luke Skywalker on their team. Score 8-3, complete victory for the Rebel Alliance. Need to shake it up next year.
We finished off Sunday with Feng Shei (sic)? An RPG which is part Big Trouble in Little China, part Jackie Chan movies and mostly cartoonish.
I hope to be invited next year as I’ve made improvements in my X-Wing storage, rules knowledge and I have more choices for the sides.
