I leave today for Madison, Wisconsin to attend
Gamehole Con 12, which formally starts tomorrow. However, being the anxious person I am, I like to arrive a day early to ensure that any delays won't adversely affect my attendance. Like last year, I'm signed up to play in several games, including a session of
Traveller with Marc Miller himself, but my main reason for going to the con is the chance to meet up with friends whom I might otherwise only "see" online. That's by far my favorite part of the convention and why I look forward to returning each year.
While I still remain an avowed Luddite, I will be bringing a camera with me this year, so I hope to have more photos to share of the con than I did last year. I will still be largely out of contact while I'm in Madison, so there will be no significant posts from me here or on my Patreon or Substack until after I return. Likewise, comment approval will be suspended. With luck, I'll avoid coming down with the dreaded Con Crud as a result of my travels, but I wasn't so lucky last year.
Regardless, I'm off!
You do realize that actually owning a camera rather than just relying on your phone still counts as being a Luddite these days, right?
ReplyDeleteFair enough!
DeleteEnjoy yourself. It'll be interesting to read your after match write ups.

ReplyDeleteIs this the same get-together once named Gen-Con? (Or as my high school friend Darrell dubbed it, "the Geneva Convention.) The similarity in locations and theme left me wondering.
Hope a good time is had there by all!
No, Gamehole Con is a different – much smaller – beast altogether.
DeleteHave a blast! Being social is what the game is all about!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! As I'll probably discuss many times in the coming days, meeting people and gaming with them is precisely why I go to the con.
