Orycon Wrapup

I had fully intended on providing an "Orycon: Day Two" post as soon as I returned from the con, but only managed to crawl into bed and recuperate for the last couple days. I suppose it was pushing myself through two days of the con that inspired my cold to come back full force; either that or I caught something else over the weekend. Suffice to say that Sunday I didn't even leave the house at all, let alone go back for Day Three.

That said, it was a good convention. The gaming was a little light this year compared to last. I may have to email Rodney or Aaron or someone and ask if that's really true or if it was just my imagination. I hardly spent any time in the non-gaming areas of the con (Orycon is a general Sci-Fi con), so I can't really comment on the attendance in general. Nevertheless, it was still a fun convention.

The SWAT game went good on Saturday afternoon. The team went up against Muslim separatists out of Indonesia and managed to rescue the British ambassador's wife in time to allow a peace conference to go on unhindered. I had three repeat players (out of seven), and actually played with a full group of seven instead of the usual five or six. Don't get me wrong, I usually have 7+ players signing up, I just generally don't run all of them. I did, however, have seven characters ready to go, so I went ahead and ran the game with seven players. Seems a good time was had by all.

So the con's over, I'm recovering - despite my cold - and it's time to get back to work. I'll be wrapping up Ghost Ship soon and turning my attention to finishing up a novel shortly. Will keep you all posted.
