After a crazy week, only made it to Saturday of Celesticon…But had a really really nice time. The con was small, but that made it more intimate and folks were very friendly and nice and many folks knew each other from years of gaming in the South Bay. The hotel was okay this time (the parking validation problematic and wait staff a bit slow).
The morning and afternoon were spent playing Full Thrust–fighting it out in concentric rings of asteroids to try to recover data off a derelict ship, the Trinity. Almost got away with the data, I think our fleet got too focused on the fight and not on the goal at hand…But we had a lot of fun and the GM was gracious and great fun.
Evening was spent solving a mystery in a Traveler RPG session, very very fun! I played a security guard grunt type. We were sent to investigate a derelict ship (no relation to the Trinity) to find two dead bodies clearly killed by powerful psychic attacks. Leading up to the end of the session, I had a gut feeling and a gut reaction to a particular character and my violent use of my trusty shotgun took out the ring leader. Amazing session.
Looking forward to next year’s convention!
