#GenCon frenz: There's one ticket back up for grabs for my Mobile Frame Zero session. (Friday, 9am-noon.)

https://www.gencon.com/events/151636

Moving day two of two: I recognize the privilege in being able to hire movers, and I also feel terrible about making them haul heavy stuff up to the third floor.

Also, the dog fell into the "koi pond" (as the landlord refers to it) in the back. (Bulldogs do not float.)

Moving, recap from end of day one (of two): Did not barf.

(TY @BigTuffAl and @Mantisking for the words of support.)

Moving, day one of two.
Status: feeling barfy.

PSA: There is a twitch channel where you can watch AND FEED ducks.

You know, it's really only lately that I've started to feel like I miss G+. I hate trying to filter through the noise on yon birdsite to try to keep up on gaming peoples for gaming stuff.

(i know i could make a list, i don't care.)

Dear gibbering forces of eldritch madness that dwell within the spaces in between:

On this Gen Con event registration day (one of your highest of holy days) grant us the reprieve from the onslaught of hell on earth and allow us to acquire tickets to the events which we covet so badly.

Grant us a glimmer of hope as you did on that previous of blessed holidays, the High Holy Housing Lottery, before descending upon us and dragging us into the howling darkness of the beyond.

Iä iä, Mike.

I am still working on my thing, but I built a thing for sifting through Gen Con events and building a watchlist/calendar. It will continue to evolve.

What, doesn't everyone spend their spare time building a Gen Con event browser webapp?

So, we’re cleaning things out and packing to move next month. Which stresses me out. But we’re going to be moving to a place within three blocks of a game store. Spoiler: that stresses me out too. Social anxiety is rad. 😑

Well, ugh...

"Sons of the Singularity is a small RPG publisher. Last year, they kickstarted The Sassoon Files, a sourcebook for the popular Call of Cthulhu RPG and Trail of Cthulhu RPG. As a lot of publishers, they did the printing in China. The same day that the print was finished, a Chinese Government [official?] decided that it was 'problematic', so they burned the entire print run."

My Space-Cossacks are finished! Woohoo! (Also: theme appropriate dice. Though I keep debating if I think I have steady enough hands to do hit the numbers with some gold paint.)

When the one facebook group you keep track of starts trying to figure out how to migrate off facebook and can't find an option.

Mmm. Good times.
