Swancon continued...Most of Sunday was taken up with the Magic tournament which was put on for Brandon Sanderson. I got knocked out after the first round, but came back for a rematch when someone had to leave the quarter finals. I was immediately matched up with Brandon for my temerity and very politely and helpfully slaughtered. Brandon was an absolute gentleman and very helpful to people who hadn't had much experience or were rusty, and was great to play with. Brandon won all his games and took away best and fairest, what a combo!
I played a few games with him while we were waiting and he was cool to talk with.
In the afternoon we played a magnificent game called Dread Fleet which is a visually spectacular tabletop with a beautiful map and big models.
The good guys side got sunk eventually, I ran into a rock which curtailed my activities very suddenly, as I forgot I had one more hull damage than I did.
Dread Fleet looked awesome when I rolled through the room for one of my many brief visits to see what was happening.
