Well, Hexacon is over. It was definitely fun, but I couldn’t say it was a blast. Saturday night was great though. The RPGA had a massive interactive event going on, with 9 tables or so all playing in the same adventure. Each group was doing their own thing, but we were able to communicate sometimes, trade information and equipment and such. It was fun. The best part was the vat of ale. The first trap my group encountered was a 20 foot deep vat of ale, complete with ale elementals, or ale-ementals as we started calling them. Since my character was cleric of the party god and found enlightenment through inebriation, he jumped right in! Later he managed to explode a zombie or something like a zombie, and that was awesome as well. Then I got nearly killed, but that doesn’t matter. I had lots of fun before that happened.
Sunday was more or less a bust for me. Nothing to do but checkout, drive our luggage home and come back and wait for DeAnna. DeAnna played in the Diagon Ally Live game, and apparently a great time. That’s good, so Sunday wasn’t completely wasted.

Well, we’re here. We made it. Wish other people did.
The con has been fun thus far, but it’s very lacking. It’s all due to understandable and unavoidable circumstances. Several local stores didn’t make it to display their wares in the dealer’s room for various reasons, at least one due to a family emergency. Several other key members are ill or worse. On top of that, this morning many people running events were extremely late due to the weather flooding the freeway.
It hasn’t been boring though. DeAnna and I have made some new friends and reconnected with some old ones. We’ve been mostly playing RPGA events with new characters. We’re about to jump into a game here in a few minutes that should earn us enough XP to go up a level. We’ve gotten to play a demo game of the new Mage: The Awakening for White Wolf’s new World of Darkness setting. There’s even a chance we’ll win a raffle which will get us a box set of their core book plus Vampire, Mage and Werewolf. Hey, we could get lucky…
Well, it’s off to play a new game, wish us luck. If nothing else, there’s the used game auction tomorrow which always has something worth picking up…
