Gaming update

It is frequently said these days that freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences. Case in point: the consequences of my post about Westercon and gaming are that people encouraged me to at least try volunteering to run the gaming track, so I did, and I am in fact going to be running gaming at Westercon.

I made it to Kumoricon last weekend, and enjoyed seeing a few people I haven't seen in a couple years, giving a talk about history of conventions, going to a talk about 150 years of trains in Japan, doing a bit of smoffing, learning mahjong, and so forth. The attempt to run a game did not go so well, though.

( A tale of drama and intrigue out of all proportion to what is being attempted )

The one thing I can do directly is take care to ensure that nothing like this happens in my gaming room.
