Gamex 2015

Jack & I headed to Gamex this weekend. The highlight was likely the tourists with the dead battery on level four–luckily we had jumper cables & after jumping their car took their fantastic parking spot.


Of course, this spot ended up coasting us US$30 for the day! I am seriously considering finding a cheaper way to attend next con!

This image needs to be on the next Gamex t-shirt–is is definitely my mantra for con:



Jack and I scored tons of Dum-Dums & a great hand fan during registration–which was $30 bucks for the day–EACH! we definitely need to do something about this–$90 to park and attend is just way to much for a day at Con & we still have not purchased nachos, pizza, tube of dice, or any of the other required tools


Speaking of Nachos this was likely our first stop–the food at New Con Location is fantastic


Jack & I hit the Paint and Take minis to get some heroes for our games. Jack had broke his glasses that morning so these are his new two dot pair–which really added to his painting focus.


I made a Slaver with Trident & Net–totally awesome!


Jack totally crushed me with his Bunny with Spear


Then we signed up for games–a little late night Gurps


A great game of Space Hulk–which is not Hulk on a Space ship, as we had hoped


Then some Nuke War in the lobby with Luis


We struggled with a horrible game of Pandemic–actually first time we had won, but we cheated on turn order and some other mechanics so I am not sure we can count it–the couple we played with were awesome–died hair, crazy focused–they had just played some Farting game tournament and were on fire



Our GURPs game was on Star Trek Voyager:


We battled some strange creatures in a mostly non combat type of way which is so popular in GURPS


Our GMs did accidently write on his mat with a wet erase marker, which was tragic.


The big take away from this con was we need to plan more–we did not play any D&D, we did not really game with any people we knew, and we left before 4 in the morning–we will do better next time!
