But even the opportunity to get an advance copy of that game, a reprint of a fun Games Workshop card game designed by FURY OF DRACULA’s Stephen Hand, wasn’t enough for me to crack the wallet. Call me jaded, but at this point I am so nonplussed at anything I see at Dragon Con either on the sales floor or even late at night after clothes are shed along with taste and class. I was more impressed by the sheer ridiculousness of seeing a girl dressed as Elektra crying her eyes out while this guy dressed like Daredevil comforted her. That was one for the ages. So then, sadly, my coverage of the gaming at Dragon Con that my press badge was supposed to indicate is woefully inadequate, incomplete, and largely based on conjecture gleaned from seventeen years of walking through the gaming area.
I love going to Dragon Con, regardless of its clientele or any associated bodily odors. It’s a great chance to just have a good time with old friends and enjoy a reckless weekend centered on nerdly pursuits. Of course I’ll be back down there again next year, hopefully on another Gameshark.com press junket. I’d say “maybe next year I’ll do more gaming” but I’ve been saying that for going on two decades now.
Volume One of this series of books does a grand job of introducing gaming to the masses, but offers a lot of familar information for gamers already in the know.
