GenCon2015 Day 1: YOUR Bell Sucks!!

I have arrived. Made good time on the road but almost forgot about the time difference again. A quick refresher shower and some organization then a short trip to the floor before one of two main events for the evening.

With only a little while, two tables were closest to the door.

The Chaldea booth w/ Jen Page (I have tickets for tomorrow night):

And the guys from Dog Might Games. Makes of some sweet wood gaming accessories:

I picked up that monocromatic blue beauty in the middle. More pics later.

We chatted for a bitbefore I had to run off and get in line for Gamers Live: Curse of the Blind Swordsman. The title of the post is a reference to a line in it. It was fully videoed w/ sound effects and crowd participation. A few very short clips from it:

Couldn't get my camera to take any decent pics w/o flash so I did these instead. Next up is the 'Late Night Puppet Slam' which I went to last year and had an absolute blast at. I'll update later w/ hopefully some more video.

Update: Only a little video. They didn't allow video or pics so I shut it off. Honestly I was really disappointed in the show this year. Nowhere near as entertaining as last year and they threw in a bunch of politics. Really soured the evening. Short clip before I shut the camera off.

Some pics of my new dice tower:

Really nice woodworking, paint, and felting. The drawbridge is removable and stays in place using a few small magnets as shown above. I'm looking forward to breaking this in at the next game session.
