Crypts-n-Creepies: Do Not Mock the Mock-up: Gary Con VII

Here I will summarize my Gary Con experience:

The road to Gary Con was fraught with possible danger...and......Cheese.

I did stop to go "wee" at some point on highway 50. Fortunately I did not have any coins on hand...perhaps if I had...well then I could have fallen victim to "Try all 4".

I was welcomed by this sign. (Why is there a dot inside the O? A confused half-umlaut, perhaps?)

I have never attended before. Literally, as soon as I had my badge, Bruce (the DM in red) asked me to join his game. We fought a bunch of lizard guys. Isn't wearing a red shirt asking for trouble? Thank you, Bruce!

Here are some of the menu options. Obviously, the fruit is fake, bringing organic matter such as this for consumption to a game convention would be utter madness. The real consumables are shown wrapped in protective plastic.

I played Metamorphosis Alpha that evening....we were given this really cool map. There was a snafu, however. The GM started an hour early, so when the real players showed, I got bumped.

Gary's typewriter made an appearance. Well, if you look closely it reads "...used a portable Royal typewriter like this one..." The Smokes might be his.

Detail of the Parker Bros rejection letter for "Dungeon". Although, it's not technically a rejection, it talks about how they are just too busy and can't look at anything. It's a pre-rejection letter.

In the men's restroom Star Wars "Muzak" was been played through speakers above the urinals. I did not check to see if the urinal cakes had Disney logos on them.

At 8am on Saturday, I joined this group to play D&D 3.5. I had fun. Reading all the complex rules was a little like having a spike slowly pushed through my head.
