Just checking in/Webercon report
*Waves at the internet world*
So, last week,![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
naryrising was visiting! It was super awesome to spend so much time with her! And then last weekend we got to go to Webercon, and see a bunch of other people I don't get to see in person all that much, for a full weekend of gaming. We got in on Thursday and got to go out to the pasture to meet kennesaw's parents cows. Babby cows! Some of them will eat right out of your hand :3
( Friday the games started )
I wrote another series of drabbles based on all the games I was in (we had 2 games running in almost every slot, so I missed out on some things), which you can look at over here if you like, though I don't promise they will make sense (and the Diablotin ones are spoilery, especially the first): Webercon 2015 Drabbles
( The food this year was really excellent! )
Other than that, it was great to see people, and meet a few new folks! My game groups tend to not fit standard 'gamer' demographics, so there were more women in attendance than men (by one, or maybe two, because I think one of the people I didn't get to talk to much is a little more genderfluid? I know they are present that way some online by their partner, but I don't know them well >.>), and more women running games than men (5 women, 3 guys.... One guy ran 2 games). Also, all the new people were partners brought in by women who had been members of the core group for much longer. We played a bunch of Telephone Pictionary, which is always great in larger groups, and one round of the card game thatkennesaw is working on developing. It is complicated but fun! Watch this space for a kickstarter some day ;) Some other folks played other kinds of pick-up games. We also watched a ton of Gravity Falls - it seems like each year we sort of unofficially settle on one show to mainline, and it was this year's pick. And of course there was a lot of staying up late taking about random rap and just hanging out - an exhausting weekend, but truly excellent!
