Yeah, can’t really claim that I am “reporting from Marmie Dog” since it ended on Sunday. Anyways, here’s the play-by-play of my time at Marmalade Dog.
Day 2:
I ended up going to that game store and I picked up a unit booster pack for Monsterpocalypse (Series 1); I got me an Office Building and a couple of more units for some variety and duplicity. My event was posted on the website and had a sign-up sheet, but was not put in the registration book for some reason. Unfortunately, I ended up with no players; just a few curious and then interested passerbys. I ended up spending my time helping a friend who was a vendor organize a few things, chatted with friends, and then we all got into a game of Dominion. Afterwards, I spent time painting one of my figures and making some good progress too.
Day 3:
Unlike on Saturday, I ended up with a few players for my event on Sunday. It was fun for everyone involved. I picked up a copy of Dark Inheritance, a campaign setting for D20 Modern (published by an independent company), and a game called Battlestations; it’s a board/roleplaying game designed to have a nostalgic sci-fi feel (i.e. cheesy uniforms and equipment that looks like kitchen utensils).
All in all, I really enjoyed myself and I would gladly go next year; in fact, I am already looking forward to it.
Fred and I played the Sunday game and looked for you the next years. Hope you are making it again. I would like to take another crack at Monsterpocalypse.
It has been fairly difficult for me as of late to make it out to Marmie Dog. Big events keep randomly happening at my job around when Marmie Dog happens and so I am generally unable to make it. I do really want to make a comeback; bring some Morton’s List, some Monpoc, or maybe something entirely different and obscure.
