Day One

...of Kapcon was yesterday.

Game One: Horror on the High Seas. Not that I've played many, but I'd have to say this was a fairly classic style Cthulhu game. Do some investigating, discover a cult, tackle a horror, it's all good! Unless your character ends up nearly dead and gibberingly insane like mine did... but hey, still fun! (Could have done with being a bit longer though, the three hour slot was a little tight.)

Game Two: Bump In The Night. Doctor Who game! Although, as the term goes, post watershed, nearly Torchwoody. Find an asteroid with something inside, and a deep dark secret... oooh... Mostly new characters, with Norman Cates doing a great turn as the Doctor. I was K9! Affirmative, Master! Failed to die and did several useful plot things.

Game Three: One Crowded Hour. Game from the classic Traveller RPG. We were the crew aboard the luxurious Duchess Serene, just performing a normal run. Nothing to worry about... until the lights start flashing! Definitely an hour so crowded we needed over two hours to get it all in. And I completely failed to die! (Actually, saved about 2/3 of the crew and passengers all up. As for the other 1/3... well, one accepts that some casualties will occur...)

(There was the LARP afterwards, but I don't LARP. Although...(*))

So, three more games tomorrow. Got to try for at least one spectacular death...

(*)That said, there seem to be a few Companions... how far are they LARPing?
