Dundracon!

We made the annual trip to geek mecca, Dundracon, this weekend.   Dundracon is a  February convention in San Ramon, California,  featuring board games, miniatures, card games, LARP, roleplaying, and SCA.   John arrived on Friday night and ran his game a few hours later. I arrived Saturday afternoon and crashed Adams d&d game.  A good time was had by all.We discovered:

• In-n-Out is the only place open after midnight.  In-N-Out is invaded by teenagers  who are bored. In-N-Out is the best place to break up with your teenage girlfriend, on the phone, after asking your friends, and ordering french fries.
• Some people get obsessed with rules.
• I played Spirit of the Century for the first time, a pulp role-playing game that takes place in the 1920′s.  The other players were all great and a good time was had by all.  The room next to us was playing a superhero based game and I could hear John yelling in joy as he defeated evil.
• We left Sunday night and this time I didn’t get the Dundracon headache.  This treat often last 3-4 days, comes from staying inside the hotel, not getting fresh air, little sleep and I think (although not proven)  some gamers dislike or fear of soap.  For gods sake gamers, bathe!
