It's alive! Alive!!!

My first episode as host of Unknown Worlds of the Merril Collection has breached confinement and is roaming free wherever fine podcasts are streamed!

In this one I talk apocalypse with Waubgeshig Rice, author of Moon of the Crusted Snow.

Adored this movie (twice), and I probably wouldn't have watched it but for @scalzi.com's recommendation.

The mystery deepens...

Every year I hide a quantity of D20s around the premises during NerdCon. This year I hid 42, and the attendees found a total of 46.

This weekend, while enjoying the view from a sandy hillock, I found another straggler. That makes 47.

A bright green 20-sided die rests on candy ground among dried leaves and some still-green plants. A bright green 20-sided die sits on an earth-toned tablecloth near a green mug which reads "Nature is My Home". The number on the top plane of the die is 12.

Today was the very first game in our newly set up games room, where those Intrepid Dungeoneers continued to explore the Isle of Dread, and I got some assistance from lovely co-GM The Girl.

An attic room has been outfitted as a comfortable gaming parlor, decorated in a maximal Victorian style. A gable nook with art decorating the walls and shelves of books, dice and miniatures. A games master in a Hawaiian shirt admires a lounging cat on an upholstered velvet chair in an attic games parlor. A lovely cat stares into the camera as her picture is taken sitting on a red velvet chair next to a wooden bookcase.

Well, another NerdCon is in the books.

There was good fun, good food, evil snacks, rain, sun and all weathers in between.

Hardly anyone got radiation poisoning!

Until next year, NerdClave!

Another favourite NerdCon event is Themed Random Movie Night.

This year the attendees rolled kinda low (a collective 7 on a batch of 50 or so D20s), and we all laughed like mad folk through the 1986 feature 'Solarbabies'.

This year we added a twist to the NerdCon scavenger hunt, where attendees had to MacGyver useful items (or reasonable facsimiles) from stuff they scrounged.

We had some truly weird entries, including two neutron bombs, a Geiger counter, and some terrifying robot companions.

One of the most anticipated events at NerdCon is the annual scavenger hunt.

Every year I hide 42 D20s on the grounds, each worth two points. This year attendees found 46! 🤔

Another NerdCon is winding down.

What a wonderfully doom-y time we had!

Reminiscing about seeing this amazing tour while watching Ministry's 'In Case You Didn't Feel Like Showing Up (Live)' and putting in my hearing aids - wonder if there's any correlation? Nah!
