Well, I did a deeply terrifying thing, but also strangely cathartic and vulnerable. I participated in a Puppet Karaoke ( at Gencon ).
I often wear a 'mask' wherein I mimic people around me or hide who I truly am or what I truly am feeling at any given moment. You would think the Puppet is just another mask, but no it was something far more profound than that.
The puppet was a 'safe' extension of my inner self. It was a way to both interact with other humans, while also allowing me to fix my eyes on the manipulation of the puppet. This felt safer than actually looking at a crowd of people, but it also lead to a kind of deep and satisfying level of vulnerability I don't often feel. Unfortunately, the whole experience was followed by anxiety and panic, but while I was in the moment it was amazing.

Was hoping for a quiet week post-GenCon, but instead have been really busy! Here’s our full #GenCon2024 haul - a mix of games & miscellaneous nerd merch. Honestly most excited about two expansions - for Forest Shuffle, which I hear rebalances the game, & Space Base, one of the most under-rated games out there IMHO. As always, we picked up a few dice sets - it’s hard to avoid at #GenCon. Dispel Dice has a firm hold on my heart, even though every year I say I have enough dice. #BoardGames

One more picture I thought I'd share. It's the 30th Anniversary of the game "Roborally" - a great game! Here is a life-size game of Roborally in progress, controlled by bluetooth android devices to program the moves. Those are captured by a Raspbery Pi, which gives commands to the 8 Lego robots on the game board. Truly a marvel!

Insight 1: I'm not as young as I used to be. I signed up for 6 4-hour shifts over the 4-day weekend. I probably should have kept it at 4, one per day. I ended up being exhausted after most of the days, not able to enjoy some days as much as I wanted. I slept much of Monday, just recovering.
That being said, I didn't have a set agenda this year. I spent a couple days just palling around with friends. That was nice.

I know what you were waiting for! A post-script on my #GenCon2024 experience.
This is the first year I worked as a demoer for Flat River Group. Basically, other companies hire FRG to do demoing and retail at conventions, because its hard to do all that yourself. (Speaking from experience here.) So, I demoed three board games for them: Captain Flip, Spotlight, and Redwood, from 3 different companies.

Here is my #Gencon2024 post mortem. 3/3
Saturday continued
Last game of the day was GI Joe (same system as Transformers). I played a sniper named "Longshot". We stole some plans from COBRA and blew up their volcano base.
Sunday. My wife came to the con, we just roamed the dealer hall, then hit up the Goodman Games raffle (didn't win anything).
Over all it was a fun con. Key takeaway
Playing in the Colt's stadium trumps all other places with games.

Friday I played Artemis in the morning. I was the weapons officer. Then I hit up the dealer hall. This was a short day since I had some stuff cancel on me.
Saturday
I played a wandering monster battle royale with the Tower of Gygam. I got the least kills because everyone was stealing my kills, but it was still fun.
Then I played the Marvel 616 system. The adventure was "Deadpool Roleplays the Marvel Universe. I love this system & immediately bought

Here is my #Gencon2024 post mortem. 1/3
I had a great time. This was the first year I did not run any games. So, I only played. I think I prefer running at least a few games.
Games I played
Thursday:
I played a DCC funnel "The Doom Spell of Amaranth Seahold. It was a blast. I had 6 characters and 4 of them died.I also transformers. I played an ATV / Gunslinger named Shakedown. We ended up taking over an abandoned mine with energon from the Decepticons.

Shoutout to all you parents of littles at #GenCon. I see you!
It’s not easy to share your passions with the next generation AND juggle the quotidian meltdowns of a young person in this heat and this crowd. But I love you for doing it!
