Jan. 20th, 2002 09:03 pmThe bell has run, Pandamonium is OVAH!
This weekend, for those of youwho weren't within five feet of me for more of the last 48 hours than my wife (which is pretty much just Dave Creighton), I have been at Pandamonium. It was run at the Inn on the Park.
Digression the first. The Inn on the Park is at the corner of Eglington and another street in Toronto (No, I don't remember the street. Bite me). It is attached to another hotel. The two hotels are, essentially, the same. Yet one is the Holiday Inn, the other is The Inn on the Park. Why? I don't know. It annoys and confuses me.
Anyway, this year's Pandamonium was well run. There were some glitches (I had no badge, which was no problem as I never need one). The entire weekend, DC & I ruled Duelists Ally (a mis-spelling of Duelists Alley, but an amusing one). We had the table in front of the door.
Whenever anyone came in the door, they learned Sack Armies. It was inevitable.
We also ran a Rifts tournament and A Babylon 5 tournament. Both of which were Very enjoyable.
I also played Hack!, which is a great game. Based on Abduction, it's based on my least favourite comic book. But still very enjoyable.
Digression two: I dislike KotDT because I read it and see a group of very unpleasent people acting in strange ways. I like Dork Tower because it's just quirky. The only way to describe the differences is to invoke art films, and I promised I wouldn't do that. I have a friend who cannot understand that.
Not a single person went to Panda this weekend who DIDN'T get introduced to Sack Armies. I'm rather proud of that. We ran a Sack Armies tournament on Sunday with 7 people in attendance. This may not sound good, but listen. There was a Magic: The Gathering tournament held the same weekend. They had 5 people. They had $300 in cash prizes. We had more Sack Armies.
I'll have visions of Sacks in my head for months to come.
I'm also afraid I've ticked off the local Decipher Rep, because I made a couple Demo Team leader jokes. I was swift to note that I wasn't referring to him, as he's a peach. Really. Somewhat absent minded, but what can you do?
Unfortunately, cons are incubating chambers for germs. I think I may have picked up Strep, as my throat is kiilling me. Ich.
I'll see if I can go to work tommorow. If I can, I'll see if I'm too sick to stay.
