This is where it starts, we have ops, boxes are coming in from cars. Hotel walk throughs have happened, build is ongoing, tech is being tested. Tge “notpart of the con, why the hell ae there so many people here” (I reckon over 150) pub quiz is happening. Tomorrow we kick off properly.

A change of pace / topic, the Nth discworld convention is now officially almost go. We are at the hotel, as are around 10 other people. Weirdest comment so far “you’d be amazed at the number of times the cats bottom was in shot”

So, does this lead to other worlds or just to a reclaimed gnome homeland?

You can be sure that…

The best yet has to be the “drowning in an inch of something”, we’ve seen this in two places so far, one where the toon was standing ankle deep in a stream, and also in Mt Hyjal where the ‘stream’ was of sparkly stuff not water but “if you don’t get out of this soon…

My gnomish rogue finally hit 80 yesterday, it’s been a long road for him even with a massive RAF boost.  For a hellishly long time I simply couldn’t get my head around the whole sneak in, stun, stab stab stab thing or how to deal with those occasions when it goes horribly wrong.  On the…
