soltakss Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 I had the great pleasure of attending Eternalcon 2018 over the weekend and thoroughly enjoyed it. Normally, I hate doing nothing at Cons, as I think it is time wasted, especially when flying to Germany, but spent most of Saturday morning/afternoon just taking in the sun on the terrace, overlooking the Rhine, relaxing, sometimes talking, sometimes just takling in the atmosphere. I might be finally understanding what Eternalcon is about. Anyway, here are my thoughts in Good/Bad/Ugly mode, which I am reliably informed is an old-fashioned way of doing this kind of thing, but that suits dinosaurs like me. After all, I am apparently an Old Man ... Good Chaosium seminar- some really good stuff, although we were asked not to blog any of it Going for a walk on Saturday morning and seeing a deer Wrote One Flew Over the Dragon's Nest scenario for Continuum Played some fun card games Excellent discussions about HeroQuesting and new RuneQuest Glorantha Played Dragon Pass until 3am and almost thought I had a chance until a 4 point hydra stacked with the Travelling Stone and a Superhero munched through my stacks. Undone by Androgeus, Sir Ethilrist and The Hydra. Got up at 8am, or just after, plenty of time for shower and breakfast before 10am Traveller game Lots of steps - 17k on Friday and again on Saturday, 6k on Sunday but 33k on Monday Very interesting and fun Traveller game Sunday morning Very enjoyable King Arthur hillfolk game on Saturday afternoon, atmospheric and fun story generation game, gave me some ideas for HeroQuest Thanked for writing Merrie England and said the Chaos Society wanted to translate it into German but couldn't RuneQuestions seminar, but nowhere near as useful as the Chaosium one Closing ceremony where everyone wants to come back next year Made early train at 0737 so plenty of time at the airport Got back home by 2pm so could make my regular Monday night RuneQuest game Bad Terrified of butting into a conversation and being rejected, so early to bed on Friday Forgetting that sign up in in the Rittersaal and missing the English speaking games Nothing to play Saturday morning or afternoon so a bit bored Child vampires- Creepy as f**k Offered to play One Flew Over the Dragon's Nest but nobody signed up Not playing Gloranthan RuneQuest at all Ugly Snoring convention in Room 141 Games advertised but not being run Getting home to find the water was off due to repairs to the mains 2 Quote Simon Phipp - Caldmore Chameleon - Wallowing in my elitism since 1982.
