Dragonflight 2005

It's getting on that time of year again, and I'm pretty darn excited. Dragonflight, the besting gaming convention in the Pacific Northwest, is coming up August 26-28. New venue this time, though. No more "post-Dragonflight reports" about trudging into communal bathrooms because the rising sun heated up my dorm room to 800 degrees by 6 a.m.

This time it's at the Sheraton in Bellevue, and so I anticipate a regular sized bed, air conditioning, and my own bathroom. I don't think I'll know what to do with myself!

I'll be running two GURPS games - one set in Da Nang, Vietnam 1969, the other a Rainbow Six ripoff I've been dying to try out. Both pretty combat intensive, but I guess I'm kinda brain dead to come up with something great and characterized. I *may* talk to some of the GURPS folks this time around about running a GURPS supers campaign each year at the con. I have an extensive world background (from an ongoing campaign that spans over 10 years of real-time), and it might be fun to let everyone make up characters - even before the con - and play 'em regularly when I run games at DF or Gamestorm or whatever.

Anyway, come up to Seattle if you're off that week and squeeze in gaming. The Vietnam game (Namo Bridge) is on for Friday at 2pm; the R6 game will run Saturday at 7. I'll be doing some pickup games, of course, some SJ Games board game stuff, and talking about the new Hogshead releases that I've done lately, and the ones yet to come.

Topping off the weekend will be playing Horror Rules with my pal Chris Weedin, and my all-night gaming sessions with the Flying Frog guys - Jason Hill, Scott Hill, and Chris Kemnow. Those are my personal indulgence in gaming goodness, and have nothing to do with GURPS, Hogshead, or anything else that requires any brain work on my part. I love it. :)

Hope to see you all there!
