I went to a D&D history roundtable. So there were a bunch of one-hour seminars that had really brilliant people talking about the history of D&D. And this was just a general sort of how the game started. And it was John Peterson, right, who writes Playing at the World and all these amazing books that really... I mean, he's one of the best scholars on D&D. I love his writing.

And he's the same speaking. He has just... endless amounts of knowledge you can tap into on the history of the game. And he was joined by David Ewald and Mike Witwer.

And the three of them just it was a really great I mean, most of it was stuff I'd heard before, but to just hear them say it and the way they paint the picture of how D&D developed was just another kind of reinforcement of kind of understanding how this game began in such fragile ways and became such a juggernaut. And they tried to make it kind of all the way through them.

It started with a heavy emphasis on the beginning, but they made it all the way through fifth edition in one hour, which is impressive.

So this was a little funny, you know, despite all my planning, I'm somehow I have like nine spreadsheets of any convention I want to attend. And at the end of it, something surprises me and I go, what? And this was one of those where I had two goals. You know, I might run a Coriolis campaign, so I want to really understand the rules. So therefore, I'm going to sign up for four hour adventure.

So one was it finished in about two hours, just a little over two hours that I didn't expect, but it just somehow ended early. The other thing is that was using the new Coriolis rules from the Kickstarter that's not out yet. And I think I could have found that out if I'd read more carefully and somehow I missed it.

So I was like, oh, OK, well, you know, so I did not become more expert at it, but I did have a blast. And Coriolis continues to be an RPG that if you want like high science fiction, right? Like the stars and ancient civilizations and, you know, just big sci-fi topics in your game. This is a great RPG for that.

And the game has a great, both editions have great premises around them and really fun dynamics. And you just, you get the feeling of what you're doing, right? When you're, We were crawling into an area that sort of irradiated and worried about what our suit would handle and what we would find.

And it just felt absolutely like you're in one of those kinds of movies or books and just dripping with cool sci fi stuff. Right. Just you just felt it very rock and very awesome. So I had a blast, even though it's only two hours and not the edition I was looking for. But yeah, it's still fun. How about you? It's funny.

That's fantastic. Yeah, I love that. I heard some things about both that table and then another morning table where everybody just had a blast. And that was one of those events that I was like, how can I? Oh, I can't because I'm already booked for something else at the same slot.
