luckykaaI did rather enjoy Nineworlds. Aspects of it have a way of riling me up, but I've learned to avoid those aspects.
Went to a talk on writing licenced works. Interesting, but heavily focused on how to enter the field yourself.
There was a brilliant panel on creating virtual worlds. The key thing I took from it was that you can make virtual woods easily at aframe.io
Spent Sunday morning playing Lovecraftesque. A GM-less gaming system where we create an elaborate horror story. That was a lot of fun.
The creators had a panel on how to publish my own RPG system, as long as I'm willing to work for less than minimum wage... I do feel that a lot of the people who launch projects on kickstand lack the business savvy needed. The above game retails for £30 for the published version, which seems a lot for a small hardback book. There is a cheaper pdf version, but that sends expensive too. I just don't feel I can justify the cost.
Saturday evening I skipped out. A school friend was having his birthday party a manageable distance away. Since he normally lives in Switzerland, I felt I could make the effort. And I had a lot of fun. Felt I had to leave a little early because this was in Bognor Regis, and I was staying in London. The train back read the Katy train. Lots of dunk people who had been to the races. And for some reason we took the scenic route back, along the south coast. In hindsight, I should have stayed at my parents'.
Some really good cosplay including Lemmings, Sam Vimes and Sybil Ramkin, and Squirrel Girl. Really wish I'd done some costuming. Think I will next year.
