DexCon 11

Aye, I don't know where to start. I came for the D&D 4E and left with LARP. I must agree that both parties were fun and the MOD was the most fun I've had roleplaying ever and the most fun I've had in a long time.

And, as if that wasn't enough, I managed to expand my small sword collection by 4 pieces! Huzzah!

How I missed this con..

I certainly had a fabulous time with everyone. I didn't expect to be there until last minute but I had a great time seeing people I rarely seeing out of game. I you people.

Hands down the best time I've had at a con.

• The part that I invented for myself literally ten minutes before the first run turned out to be fun and useful, the latter being the real surprise...
• During the first run, while all but one of the PCs was in the mine fighting, sitting with the lone PC that stayed behind and discussing tax policy and economics. Very fun stuff.
• During the second run, Teresa playing the ex I'd jilted in favor of her sister. She really made me feel like a bad person.
• More Canadians!
• My friend Lowell finally test driving KR and being the mirror in which Mike Smith saw Father Osred reflected.
• Playing a tabletop session of Mage run by Lowell with Brendan and Liz (as well as Glenn, Kirk, and Amanda). I don't think Lowell could have predicted the ridiculousness of putting Brendan and I together in the roles of Lt. Baker-Smythe and Jawarlahal...
• James and I concocting a plan to distract hotel staff while we smuggled a metric ton of booze into the suite. It involved the shameless exploitation of a substance-abusing homeless guy...
• The IG party was a rousing success this time around, with boisterous singing and lots of good RP.
• The OOG party was an equally rousing success, though running the bar is a serious workout...
• The #1 A+ quote for the weekend: "I don't want to beat Jesus!"
• Honorable mention quote: "I'm not worried, I'm just here to laugh..."

I had an awesome time at the KR module, which is, as usual, the highlight of DEXCON for me. I love that my character had plenty to do without using a single in-game skill all evening. All of the KR players were extremely friendly and I had a great time hanging out with all of you over the course of the weekend.

Some things just cannot be made up.
