Artifacts from GC

Published August 28, 2008

Off today. And tomorrow. And Saturday. And Sunday.

The last two might not seem that surprising, but believe me, it’s a strange feeling to have nothing particular on, that I absolutely must do… for four days straight.

Anyway, pawing through my bag this morning I found a couple of GC-related artifacts that I thought I’d share, for no particular reason:

My personal Games Convention schedule, extremely worn after being in my back pocket for about seven days (next to my passport). Scribbled times at the top indicate when the bus left our hotel. Everything else is pretty much how it happened, except for character arrival times – they came on the bus too, in the end.

Better this morning, but it’ll take a few days to get back up to speed I expect.

Anyway! A heads-up here. First of all the first in a series of ‘behind the scenes’ posts is coming today regarding Quest for GC. Part One will magically appear this afternoon about 2pm. Second part in a couple of days, and so on. Should end up being five or so parts. I warn you in advance, the timeline on these is a bit screwed. I started writing them a month ago, trying to keep up with myself as we made the series, but then everything got too busy… so you’ll see the first three parts are sort-of contemporaneous and then the following three will probably be retrospective. You’ll get it…. Continue reading →
