Call of Cuddlethulu

[luckykaa]

I was persuaded last minute to go to a gaming event. Flick's friends had some last minute dropouts, and so I was invited to join a team at the student nationals. Nominally a competitive event, but mostly about having fun. Had a choice Between Board Games, D&D and Humour. Wasn't really keen on 2 days' worth of board games, I seem to be the only geek in the world who isn't really into D&D (dislike classical fantasy and crunchy systems), I went for Humour.

But of a crappy night's sleep. But that sort of thing tends not to catch up with me more in the evening. So I signed in and played game #1.

Game #1 was an Urban Fantasy game. Or is it Fantasy Urban? Whichever isn't about your dream townhouse... GM was late due to public transport hell though. We played a bit of the Dr. Lucky Card game while we waited.

so we were a bunch of supernatural types working for a good guy organisation. I was an American Werewolf in Hampshire.

Fun was had. I didn't really get as into it as I like to. Didn't really have a good handle on my character, and wasn't all that proactive, but my sense of smell and heating worked well. Found combat a little tedious, but then, I usually do. Lack of interesting options. Point gun and shoot.

Would have liked too have stayed around a little and socialise, but I was feeling tired and grouchy and so we went home for an early night.

Game #2, was a plush toy based game. I was Cthulu. We were even given toys to play with. So, this bring a cute and fluffy game the first thing we did was kill someone, and then we killed his daughter. Plot was thoroughly detailed by this point, so GM turned it into a sandbox. We decided to take over the world. But there was to much infighting, so we only took over parts of the town. And caused a civil war between plushie factions.

Was hoping to loiter around and chat for a bit but everyone was going home. These students lack the stamina of seasoned conventioneers.

Had a lot of fun. Glad I was invited.
