Water Rat

I've found myself in the role of ... oh what the heck, flight instructor on Friday nights. I'm spending a good fraction of my time at the store showing new folks how to play X-Wing, and while it's a little thing, it's been good for me. There's a group of young kids who started off watching games when they weren't playing Magic, and last night, after some back-and-forth on the club's FB page, showed a transgender couple some finer points of the game.

Last night would have been D&D night, but for real life getting in the way. I'm not exactly disappointed, but at the same time, it would have been good to have gotten the PCs into the Feywild.

Our local nerd con is coming to an end - this will be the last ConGlomeration. I'm surprised, and definitely disappointed. I understand it - the existing committee has been doing this for 20 years, after taking on the task of succeeding Rivercon. ConGlom had some ups and downs, and I had a real problem with the con's gaming director once upon a time (before we became good friends), but it was almost always a fun time. I'm going to miss it, and while the much bigger GalaxyCon is going to keep on going for as long as the money is there, it's ... just not the same thing.
