Well, I am happy to report that
Con On The Cob treated us really well this year! I ran all of our events and Lady Z and I had some fun with Todd E. and also the Rogue Cthulhu guys as well. It was also nice to run into FaePooka too =)
Of note:
Our
Dungeons & Drag Queens game was hilarious fun, while
The Rocky Horror Muppet Show was a chaos-fest of total Muppet mayhem and insanity. It was quite entertaining, but was much harder to run than I thought it would be.
Heart of the Oni went really smoothly, with a group of folks who really played well together (Lady Z even managed to get through it without dropping the ‘F-Bomb’ on her fellow players this time LOL
); and I swapped
Hive of Scum & Villainy out for playing
Ghost In The Machine for a full table instead. By that point, I’d had enough of shoot’em-ups and asked the table if they would mind me switching the adventure for a more ‘role-play’ centered game. They all agreed and we had a great time playing – with a very quick opening combat scuffle, some space combat, and then really entertaining role-playing the rest of the way through.
I also got to run my
Delver Stomp! Game a couple of times and got some good feedback. I think I’m going to use what I learned from Delver Stomp to make a Cult-Building Mythos Game, where you build up your own Mythos Cult to summon your Patron Great Old One to win the game.
Lady Z and I also played in the Rogue Cthulhu games,
Boarding Party &
Far Beneath The World Below. Boarding Party was pretty much just a shoot’em-up with Cthulhu flavor, made somewhat irritating by an overly detail-obsessed player who just couldn’t do anything without describing it in excruciatingly banal/anal detail and trying to impose his will on the rest of the players. Fortunately, we broke the ‘Seal Team’ into two parties and Lady Z and I were not on his team, so we could ignore most of his crap.
Far Beneath The World Below was a much better game (Cthulu-wise) and was a lot of fun to play (even with me and another player fighting over the spotlight quite a bit). In the end, when everyone was going insane, the guy tried to get revenge by teaming up with his friend to kill my character off. I’m happy to say that while they did succeed, I managed to pull both of the dirty rats down with me, hehehe!
Fun Stuff!
