Spectacular weekend, meeting with spectacular people. Where to
start?
Liz and Geo running
the Vivid table, total pros allowing me to huddle behind scribbling
like a hermit. Pimping out the spankin’ new Vivid Pachinko
machine table game, provided courtesy of Boneitis, and running
Skirmish demos-
We sold every copy
of Skirmish we brought, and the armory of first-edition printings is
running low.
Fair warning:
Prices are about to permanently raise on Skirmish deluxed boxed
editions. We’ve got to conserve inventory for the truly dedicated-
going from $65 to $80. Price change in effect Sunday.

Speaking of
Skirmish, MFF we had our first ever tournament. Thank you to all
the participants, it was a blast.
But there was only
one ultimate champion, and it was Tari. VAE VICTUS.
Thank you as well to
everyone who came by to chat with us- it was great catching up, and
making new friends. Also, thank you to the kind soul who gave us a
bottle of home-brewed cider, plus gift art from Shane Asher of Vanth,
and Combat Crayon of me as a Warhammer 40K Librarian. I love the
pieces!
Also great taking my
secret pocket-whiskey and meeting up with the TDS furs over the
weekend. We gotta do that again sometime- thanks to Boneitis for
organizing that craziness.
And speaking of
craziness, well, there are some convention tales that may not belong
in this journal. For the really bizarre stuff, we’ll be yakking
about it this Saturday on our Snake Pit weekly stream. Maybe this
anecdote will be the thing that finally nukes our Twitch accounts.
Thank you as well to
MFF staff for running a great event. I was ecstatic to finally have
the dealers room in that glorious massive expo space- I haven’t
been a dealer in there since we did Anime Central in 2010. Great to
return, and everyone was delightful & helpful with load-in and
load-out. A #1.
Old friends, crazy
tales, and new opportunities.
Just had a meeting
with the Vivid Task Force, and there are some cool things in the
pipeline for 2020. But more on that later.
Bye for now!
