in Convention Reviews
This was my first Endgame con experience, and it was worth it. In short, I had a blast. It was my first game running as a Good Omens Game Master… even if I was not in the program as such, so it was a little exciting for me.
It started out like most of my life, with me running late; BART in concord was running late, and had no train in sight for twenty minuets.But when I finally got to Endgame the fun started right away. I signed up for Catherine Klikoff’s Feng Shui game, unfortunately she had did not show up (I did not find out what happened to her… any one know?). However, I did get to jump into a game of Dog’s in the Vineyard.
EndGame Bonanza – Sean Nittner

Last Saturday my beloved wife got the day off work so that she could watch the kids while I went to play all day at EndGame’s Mini-Con. And they say angels only are only in heaven!
Unlike other conventions this one was short enough that I can actually go through each game in a normal review (rather than a synopsis of the highlights). Happy reading. (more…)
