PerryCon2 Unprecedeted Success!

Okay, yes it has been a LOOOOONG time since my last Blog entry. Oh well. I blame Facebook.

But, I thought this would be a better place to log my September long weekend Gaming extravaganza!

Basically, Tanya and I went out to Brandon to visit friends, and I went out to GAME! Jokingly, I refered to the weekend as PerryCon2 (PerryCon1 had been held two years ago).

Lowdown:
Friday, pick up cool rental car (red Hyundai somethingorother), drive out to Brandon after work.
Friday night: Cthulhu Munchkin with John, Mo and Pam, and Craig (along with Tanya and myself). Great night! Event though poor Pam spilled coke on some of my cards (she was devastated - and if I was 18 I would have been as well. Heh). Up till 2am Gaming and chatting. Good times.

Saturday morning: GM Breakfast at Humpty's; Perry and Tanya are joined by Craig, John and Amanda, and Tanya's friend Laura. A couple of skillets and eggs and pancakes later, we're ready for more Gaming. Well, after some shopping for food. Tanya and Laura head off to shop and hang out for the day.
Craig and I spend the rest of the afternoon and evening playing 2-player games: a couple of rounds of Wrasslin', a few hands of HACK! (KoDT card game), and the new boardgame Formidable Foes (great art, not so great rules). Tanya returns home and we play game of Groo the Wanderer before bed (earlier evening, 1am).

Sunday morning: sleep in, and set up Arkham Horror boardgame for that evening!
Sunday afternoon: Tanya and Perry search Brandon for a sportsbar that's open on Sunday, and settle in at Smitty's to watch the CFL Labour Day Classic (Winnipeg in Saskatchewan). Good game, but Bombers lose. Boo. Return to Craig's where we proceed to play a marathon game of Arkham Horror till 3am with Mo, John, Craig, Craig2 (can't remember his last name...), Xanthe, Richard Whidden, Graham, Tanya and myself. Very cool.

Monday morning: sleep in. Monday afternoon, Craig and I try out his Quebec "Stratego-esk" game. Very cool. A few more games of Wrasslin before Amanda and John come over for a great game of D&D minis. Then, a bunch more hands of Wrasslin before it's time to leave (sob!).

All in all, a very cool weekend of meeting with friends, Gaming with friends, and all around hanging out and relaxing. Pictures up on Facebook!!
