Eleven: It Took Me Three Tries Not To Write "Elven"

OMG OMG OMG OMG *runs around, flailing*

GenCon is almost here, and I've been so busy being grown up and writing and stuff that my actual important stuff -- the geeky bits -- have been largely overlooked. I turned in a revised draft ahead of time, finished a first draft of an upcoming project (for a GenCon preview we're giving at a seminar), I scrambled last minute to help two past-due projects get to print on time (*flex*), I've already arranged a few business meetings, I got ahead of the curve on Patreon work (and I'm ready to post my end-of-month piece), and I'm staying up on the work I need to be in charge of lodging, rental car, and driving for myself and four buddies...but my actual fun stuff has been woefully overlooked to date.

Before leaving Tuesday morning, I need to settle on a Star Wars: Armada list, decide how I'm going to paint said list (so it stands out a little at the North America Championship), make a character for Vampire: 20th Anniversary and another for Shadowrun, and I need to find some friggin' games to play or booths to visit Saturday and Sunday, 'cause right now my schedule's pretty honkin' wide open.

In any case, Indy is a treat every year. If you're reading this, you're probably a gamer geek, and if you're a gamer geek you should probably try to go to GenCon. That's two probablies combined, which is basically a certainty. If you've never made it, give it a shot some time; the food is great, the convention experience is unlike any other, and you get to meet enormous goofballs like me (and we all secretly adore signing stuff).

If you already have plans to be in Indy, check for me at either of the Shadowrun seminars I'm involved with (SEM1690375, Friday at noon, where I'll be chatting with fans and doing a Q&A with two other SR writers, and SEM1694425, Friday at 8:00 pm, where I'll be MCing a great big get-together of great Shadowrun podcasters). Feel free to come say hi!
