If you are heading to PAX Unplugged this year do not sleep on Games on Demand.

We're already at volunteer capacity and this GM list is something to be excited about. The titles are going to be varied and our line is going to get full at times. Very full.

Reposting for the morning people -
My family needs assistance with our cats' medical needs. They are sweet and fussy and much loved, but also very expensive.
Anything at all would help and my deep thanks to those who have already reposted.

Thank you for offering, but looking at your replies, you've said the same exact sentence to many other people in need. The exact repeats of text again and again with no further details.

My cats Toothless 🖤 & Beatrice 🤍 are facing kidney & thyroid issues—multiple vet visits, meds, & bills in the thousands. Their mischievous brother is fine, but these two need help. I hate to ask, but I know that I need more than just me. Any donation means the world.

Steak/Chicken Kabobs with greek potatoes and a feta and olive salad. And so much dip. Indi accidentally has three containers of tzatziki. 😆

Aww, same to you as well, sir!

Follow-up to GenCon -
I never get tired of seeing my younger GM roommates and coworkers goggle when my age is revealed.
Is it vain and shallow? Probably.
Do I feel less like a woman with joint problems and an early bedtime when it happens? Absolutely.

Now that I've been safely home since just after midnight, I can firmly say that this is one of the worst cases of Con Drop I've ever experienced. I've slept most of the day and everything hurts. Just absolutely brutal.

Still, a fun con. No regrets there. 😀 Good tables, fun games.

Sometimes my son absolutely kills me. Out of nowhere tonight he says:

“Dad, if Bruce Wayne is Batman because he’s afraid of bats then why isn’t Jason Todd the Red Crowbar instead of the Red Hood?”

After nearly spitting my drink all over the room I could help but full on guffaw. This freaking kid…

It can be played on Discord easily, so if you ever find three more players to try it, let me know.

They never fully understand when I explain how powerful the feelings are that Alice Is Missing can produce; when you are teenagers pushing to find a loved one, and your only source of connection is a series of text messages...

It means a lot to me when a game moves someone. They were a great table.

A bearded gentleman in a baseball cap was wiping away tears as the bell sounded, marking the end of the 90 minutes of silent typing and the game's amazing soundtrack. Our Alice had died and his PC's best friend had gone silent after being chased at gunpoint by Alice's kidnapper.

Got to finally run Alice Is Missing today. I have two sessions this weekend (the other is tomorrow morning) and the rest are all Eldritch Automata. And while I've enjoyed my E//A tables, the session I just finished reminds me how powerful a game that little box of cards is.

Either way, Luis Carazos just walked past, grinned at me and said "You're gonna watch me die." Epic vibes.

Taking a few minutes off from game running and game prepping to catch a show - Outbreak: Undead. As a massive fan of the We're Alive: Frontier AP series, I promise that I'd have been a menace all weekend if I'd realized this is an ARG.

If you'd like a birthday hug, let's coordinate a meet-up!

HO.LY.SHIT.

I was just approached by a player of mine from PAX Unplugged last year, who not only remembered my name, but began enthusiastically telling the friends with him how much he'd enjoyed our game and that I'm "an incredibly talented GM".

I'm gonna ride this high all day

@fleitdetrik.bsky.social Hey Fleit! I'm at GenCon and stopped by the Indie Press Revolution booth and recommended "My Mother’s Kitchen". The vendor said they not only had it, but he remembered when it came in and he read it; an example of "genius game design".

Just figured you should know. 😉

I've been given this worm by a sketchy illithid, so of course I'll immediately put it into my body. Nom nom nom.
#firstGenCon

Sure is!!

That clinches it. Definitely coming home with me.

I PROMISED MYSELF that I wouldn't buy anything in the Exhibitor's Hall!!!!

But near tje end of the first row is a booth dedicated to only small press indie games.

...and I just have to own Deathmatch Island.

...aaaaand maybe Void 1680 AM.

Curse my love of indie games!!!

#firstGenCon

Am I tired? Yes.
Am I sore and slightly overwhelmed? Yes.
Am I still super excited? Yes!

This is my "break day" (running one game tonight) so let's go see some stuff and try to find friends!

#firstGenCon

A hotel room full of GMs the night before Con starts? Nothing at all wild and crazy going on. Literally three people are running over our modules and prepping for our games as if we had a college exam the next day, with lofi beats playing on YouTube.
Such party animals. 😆

Not long now till the show begins! Great comedy, a stocked silent auction, and great charities to support!!

Please share far and wide!

I'm the GM right now, but one of my players is the "forever GM" and has always expressed their affection for us through their digital skills. Finally having the chance to play Star Trek Adventures, they built a full LCARS website with ship's stats, personnel sheets, and mission logs.

There was a plan that involved cooking, but we were feeling crudy, so we ordered ramen instead. It was the correct decision.
