The end is the Beginning
Apr. 22nd, 2020 10:53 amWe pulled out of GenCon yesterday. I don't think the convention is going to happen, and even if it does, the company owners aren't coming in from the West Coast and my co-director isn't likely to make the trip from the UK. I could handle the staff scheduling and other management, but any of the company contracting and related work is way outside of my interest and comfort zone. So, no Best Four Days in Gaming this year. We'll deal with the fallout in 2021. I don't like it, but it's the right decision.
I finished watching Discovery, and came away pretty happy with it. The end of the second season planted plenty of seeds for more stories, and in a season or two, I'll resubscribe and catch up again. I'm a couple of episodes into Picard as of this morning. It's good so far, and I like seeing Picard's moral core again.
Related, there is a lot of Modiphius' Star Trek Adventures line on the Bundle of Holding right now, and since I have even more time than usual for reading, I'm probably picking those up soon.
Since I couldn't get a physical copy before the closures, I bought the iOS version of Terraforming Mars. It's been a real delight. I'm an easy mark for things Martian, and it's a darn good game.
Also on the electronic gaming front, I had a little lucky streak. I've been looking at subscribing to Sonys PS+ service, and was about to pull the trigger a few nights ago. Decided to consult Reddit about the service, and saw a post about a 25% discount for a PS Now sub - a boatload of streaming and downloadable games from three generations of PlayStations. So, I decided to go that route and made a note to pick up a PS card the next time I was at Speedway. Did so, and got a notification for a bonus $10 in PS credit. Not bad!
