Sharon's Day, SP-RPP, and
European Trip Planning |
|
|
 We
had a great time last weekend, celebrating Sharon's
Day at Busch Gardens with my brother Jeff, his wife Judy,
James their son, and of course Sharon, my niece, God-daughter,
and Queen for the Day. We rode some of my favorite roller-coasters
including Alpengeist, Apollo's Chariot, and the Loch Ness Monster,
and I was pleased that Sharon was like me -- eager to ride everything
(whereas her twin brother shunned some of the best rides). Everything
was splendid... the weather was perfect, the lines were short,
and the food was very tasty. We had lunch in Italy, ice cream
in France, and dinner in Germany. And the trained cats in that
animal show were amazing! It was an outstanding day.
Along the way we also did some playtesting my newest game,
Secret Project RPP. One of my design goals for SP-RPP is a game
you can play while standing in a long, slow moving line, and
the lines were short enough that we didn't really have very many
opportunities to playtest it. But I'm very pleased with the way
it's shaped up... I've been working on this one for almost a
year (I started testing the concepts last
year when we all went to Disney World) but it was only a
few weeks ago that I had the final ideas I needed to make this
game really work to my satisfaction. Soon I think I'll be ready
to set this one loose!
[The picture of me and Sharon included here does not
show us getting ready for a fist bump, nor are we playing Rock
Paper Scissors. We're playing SP-RPP. We're each concealing an
Icehouse pyramid in one fist, getting ready to reveal
it. But that's as much about the gameplay as I'm willing
to explain at this time.]
Throughout this day trip to pretend Europe, I pondered my
upcoming vacation to actual Europe. Things have been going pretty
well at Looney Labs,
well enough that I've decided to visit my
favorite city again. I'm going to celebrate the release of
the first product from Fully
Baked Ideas by attending the 22nd Annual Cannabis Cup, a
convention of Amsterdam aficionados which I attended once before,
12
years ago. The timing is such that I can also attend a big
gaming convention, two days later in London, called DragonMeet
18. Maybe I'll spend a little extra time in England after that.
So here's a shout-out to the Rabbits
of London and Holland, and to the American tourists who'll be
attending the Cup: I'll be there at the end of November, looking
for fans of my games
to hang out with. Who wants to meet me at a Coffeeshop
for a game or two of Homeworlds?

| Anyway, I'm going to Europe again! Yay! It's been over 5
years since my
last visit, and I'm really looking forward to it. |
 Thanks for reading, and have a great Whenever! |
