There have been a lot of games for me throughout the convention...at some point we combined Last Night On Earth and Invasion From Mars, probably Saturday or Sunday night? Anyway, here came the Martians, and here came the Zombies. JoJo, the dancing bear from the circus, grief stricken by the death of two of the other characters raced out, grabbed the circus cannon, fired it at a closely packed bunch of the Martian invaders, and missed.
It's like they always say. It's not how well the dancing bear fires the circus cannon, it's that it fires the circus cannon at all.
Just before that, the Bearded Woman and the Sharpshooter got into a tizzy with each other, and while they were catfighting, the Martians zapped them.
In the end, the Martians won, their player seemed a bit put out, because he was having such a nice time zapping carnies and zombies left, right and centre.
Monday morning with Swancon we walked down to the Blood Bank where I gave plasma and platelets. Mel joined us in the lounge after the donate and we had a couple of games of Monty Python Fluxx before we all walked back.
Then we got into a game of Ticket to Ride Europe with Sha and Jen? I think her name is.
After a good game of that which Sha won very convincingly, we grabbed some snackage and ate it, and then tried out the Pathfinder system. Very nice little D&D derivative by way of the open gaming license of 3rd edition. Rather neat, and I'd like to try playing in a campaign with it. We killed some dire rats and 2 orcs, and captured the boss orc who reckons we might be able to rescue the lost dwarven miners....hmmm.
After that we...um...well, the closing ceremony was happening around about then, so Rob grabbed one of the sharks and briefly flew it around the committee, and after that we helped pack up a bit.
Then we wandered to The Good Earth and had an excellent dinner with JS and pedanther, after which we retired to the hotel lobby
