October update

Well it has sneaked off and become November, without my noticing. Therefore I am offering another update just to prove my existence in the blogo-sphere. Major event of October was my trip to Con-on-the-Cob. As usual this proved to be an enjoyable convention, although the new location made for a much more dispersed location. The overwhelming smell of chlorine in the open gaming room (which was poolside) did not incentivise me to sit down and play so most of the time was spent in the dealers and art room. Initial purchases where Anomalous Subsurface Environment level 2-3, and Random Esoteric Creature Generator from a booth selling printed versions of various OSR type products (although I already hold a number of these items .pdf form I felt a need to purchase something to encourage the dealer to sell at other conventions). I bought after long haggling Dreamscared Ultimate Psionics book for Pathfinder (Once again I am a hard sell having already purchased large quantities of Pathfinder stuff from my friendly local game store. However he gave me a 20% discount and threw in a psionic gamemasters screen for free). I also bought a "Low Life" Boss Blocker (I paid full price for that one, not wanting to re-buy either the "Low Life Redredged" or "Kestier Island" which would have qualified me for a free Boss Blocker). I bought in the art room a small clockwork door as terrain for some future battle mat. The man who made the clockwork door did not produce overnight the clockwork man-way I had suggested, so I'll have to watch his e-bay site for it). We did have a long chat about the strengths and weaknesses of various D&D editions and whether Games Workshop had jumped the shark again (at this point I think it's jumping the sharknado, but least the Tau have gained the uber sized "D" gun equipped model to stand toe to toe with most of rest of the 40K armies, no help for my beloved Tyranids yet apparently skyscraper sized monsters aren't actually capable of destroying things in a single hit like mechanical swords). Unfortunately for my blogging here I have "discovered" Pinerest. Its right brain approach to blogging appeals to my "slacker" nature. However, after few weeks of re-linking all my deviant art likes I am discovering the internet is much shallower resource than I had hoped. Both flattering and discouraging was goolging for "Tekumel World Maps" and discovering my own world maps (which are very nice but definitely not Tekumel) listed on the first page of images returned. Until later...
