Nine Worlds

So, that was pretty good fun.

Decided to avoid some of the more echo-chamber-ish tracks that annoyed me last time and just have a good time.

Started with Knightmare Live. Very silly! Missed the start but I don't actually feel I missed a lot. Not sure how the dungeoneer was picked, but he did have a warrior's name.

Went to a Star Trek Trial LARP game. The crew were accused of breaking the prime directive - the interactive bit was a "holodeck simulation. I played an anti-technology priest! Other programme items I went to included a fanfic panel, a talk on gamification of society, and the loitering in the hotel lobby chatting to people because the two panel items I tried to get to were full and fuller than full. So good I went to that one twice. Also some general bitching about general con stuff (mostly differences between 9W and fan cons, and Worldcon bids).

Really liked the crappy trailers bit. Trailers for terrible looking movies like "Sister Sensei" and the live action adaptation of thr "Dark Dungeons" Chick Tract. The guy who out them together even bookended them with Rank Cinema idents!

Captain Proton costume got one cosplay token. Perhaps I would have got more if I made the effort to do the monchrome thing I did at Redemption a couple of years ago. Still, Raygungoth recognised the character, so that was a plus. Low effort Hooded cowl with a sign saying "do not enter the dog park" costume got 2 tokens without even trying.

Nineworlds really neds to learn how much geeks drink. If the bars charge hotel prices, people will bring in their own drink. If there is a programme item about historical cocktails, then it makes sense to go to a largish room.

Best part - spent lots of time with flickums!

Didn;t get my camera out that much, but...
