Pensacon 2018: Day Two, Electric Boogaloo
7 years ago
The early portion of the day wasn't incredibly eventful, nor was the midday, but the stuff in between and the end was awesome! First off, I did happen to get my picture taken with Aurelio Voltaire, as well as the Trek gang in attendance: Data, Q, and the holo-doc from Voyager. I still need to talk with John De Lancie before I leave on Sunday, though...but I did get to attend Robert Picarto's Q&A with Robert Duncan McNeill (a.k.a. Tom Paris from Voyager). I learned some fun stuff about both of them, too. I also talked more with Geoffrey Gwin, whom is just so much fun to mess with when he's drawing and such. I mean, not interrupting his work or anything, but...I dunno how to explain it, other than we troll each other and potential clients, and everyone loves it.
Anyways, most of the rest of the evening was spent next door at the grand hotel, where they held various tabletop gaming. I learned a bit more about Warhammer 40k and even got introduced to Heroclix, which is a fairly cute yet kinda fun game. The real treat, though, came when I went to play my first game of Call of Cthulhu. Or...so I thought, as the table filled up quickly. I managed to convince the DM to let me play, as well as let the guy in front of me in "the line" play, too. Real fun, proper gent he was, too. He was only a few years older than me, though he had some salt and pepper going on.
Anyways, oh my GOODNESS, I've never managed to havs so much fun in a D&D-styled game...EVER! Aside from a few people sacrificing themselves for the sake of saving the town/world, we did surprisingly well...though we all thought we fucked up bad at the end. I even killed a dude with one punch. Regardless, I saved myself and my daughter (campaign plot device) from an infestation of otherworldly flying bee-slugs and kept the elder gods from being summoned into our world. My new friend and I had a grand time playing, and the DM was absolutely amazing!!
And I finished off this evening with a tasty treat, like yesterday: strawberry cheesecake pancakes. Maybe this is gonna be a consistent theme with my convention travels. Anyways, will report more later.
