Highlights from Origins 2006...
Meeting Reiner Knizia. But seriously, I didn't have anything to say to him. I just like a lot of his games, and since I had the opportunity to meet him and get him to sign a game without standing in line, I took it. I think this would've been a bigger highlight if I'd had the chance to play a game with him.
Hanging out with a group from Missouri who were quite friendly.
Meeting someone I've played many games with on BSW and BGG.
Playing seven games of back-to-back Werewolf with the Looney Labs folks. Too much fun, but I decided only to do this on one night instead of every night like some of the Werewolf crew.
Drinking beer at Barley's, a great microbrewery right across the street from the Convention Centre. It's a good thing I only went there twice -- once on Wednesday night and once on Saturday night. I could've just sat there for hours drinking the Russian Stout.
Seeing Great Cthulhu but knowing I couldn't afford to buy him.
Chatting with Steven Long at Hero Games.
Wasting a half hour of the Indie RPG Revolution guy's time by asking him question after question about the games he was selling.
Seeing Kevin Siembieda from Palladium and realizing that he doesn't look nearly as evil as he's made out to be. I figured he'd have horns, a forked tongue and a long devil's tail.
Biggest disappointments from Origins 2006...
Caylus is waaaaaay over-hyped.
Not seeing one copy of Busen Memo for sale.
