Slept in. Played one game (Bureau 13, which I've been hitting each con for a while now). Watched a bit of Can of Whupass.

Found HERO Games booth in dealers room.

Tomorrow, no plans, except to fly home in the evening.

Got up, found a leisurely cup of coffee and a muffin, wandered over to a 10am game of With Great Responsibility.

Hit Einstein Bagel Co., which was not crowded at 2pm, had lunch, breifly visisted dealers roon, wandered over to 3pm game of Fae Noir.

Have no evening plans. Will likely find dinner and than rest rather than crash a game with generics. Am taking the con easy.

Have run two out of three games set for today.

Had iced coffee for breakfast and spread a bagel out to last from 8am-4pm. Felt a little faint after running second 4-hour session. Felt better after eating actual food. The 6-2-1 rule is a good thing.

Will leave soon to run third game. Then, most likely, shower and sleep.

Will be fetching swag shortly.

I won't make this a long post. It's late and I should go to bed soon. Oddly enough, for all that the hotel nickel-and-dimes you, the computers w/internet access in the business center are free of charge. Yet internet from the room racks up $11 a day. So I'm in the business center.

So far the games have all gone well. I actually did not take a single generic ticket this convention - I had full showings for every game. That's unprecedented. My games ran well, and the ones I played in was fun.

I slept in, hit the gym, and wandered the dealer's room Thursday morning. I didn't manage to find the HERO booth, but I have instructions to locate it now. I played the noon slot yesterday, a Call of Cthulhu game. There was no prize, but several players commented they'd been amused. (I was handed a bitchy debutante and hammed it appropriately for a 1920's adventure). I even survived (by the skin of my teeth.) The convention must be looking at table assignments, because my two consecutive games I ran were at the same table/room, and the same happened tonight.

My first game today was run by a teenaged GM running (it was clear) her first convention game ever. Aside from a tendancy to railroad and a little nervousness, she did a good job, and I figure she'll work those problems out with experience. Her father asked me quietly for a critique later. The Bureau 13 game was amusing, and ended early enough I was able to hit the hotel gym, shower, and still get back in time for the 5pm game. That... was a full day of gaming. I should sleep soon.
