So the first day was a bit uneventful, the vendor hall does not open till day 2 (which is today) so there was nothing exciting to take pictures of. I spent most of the day teaching people to play Thunderstone and Defenders of the Realm. There should be all sorts of things to take pictures of today though.

So more to come

So I had pics of the vendor hall, but the stupid camera phone I was using erased all but 2 of them so I will have to try and retake the better ones again, for now though here's the 2 I took of the AEG booth

AEG makes a lot of non collectable deck building games like Thunderstone, this year they were demoing the 2 newest Thunderstone expansions and a game called Nightfall where you can chain play off of others cards as long as your cards color matches their card's secondary color





I did win a prize for winning a game of Innovation also, but those pics disappeared

Also the way Steve Jackson Games are doing the qualifiers for the Munchkin US nationals this year was a lame cash grab. The qualifier used to be a series of 16 preliminaries, the top 2 players from each qualifier moved on to the semifinals. This year however, you get a score based off of your level when the game ends, if you win, you get 20 points, everyone else gets a point for each level they gained in play. In order to qualify, you have to pay more than one entry fee to accumulate points because they are letting the top 32 cumulative scores in, so a bad player could still qualify for the finals if they entered and paid for all 16 qualifiers. So in essence they can buy themselves a spot in the semifinals. I refuse to do that, so this will be the first time since I started going to Origins that I did not qualify for the semifinals in Munchkin

Hopefully I get some non erased Loony Labs pics because you have to see these kooks in action. It is like the Woodstock wannabee convention got lost and wandered into Origins

EDIT: I think as soon as I take todays pics I will send the straight to my FB account so they don't get deleted

More pics



This sign just made me laugh "Hooker Dice"



Rob Baldur, the writer of the Erfworld webcomic (above signing my Erfworld books) was a pretty cool guy, we talked about what a cesspool the internet is




Imma call it now, this is the best game of Origins, a velvety smooth easy to play deck building game called Ascension, now go out and play it... now!



This was the Andy versus Everybody event at Loony Labs, just look at these guys, and yes, the faint smell of pot is detectable from many of the people volunteering there



(center) Andy Looney himself, creator of Fluxx, Chrononauts, Aquarius, many Icehouse games, and so on. Nice guy who pretty much does admit he likes the weed



Mayfare Games literally took up about 20% of the vendor hall, and they are always crowded because people get ribbon mania and try to get all the ribbons that have the materials from Cataan on them.




These games are iffy to me because some of them end up so imbalanced, but this one was drawing a crowd, and I saw several people had bought copies at the event to play in open gaming and the board room



So these 2 were posing for pictures and I had to get in on that



Then this guy suddenly also had to get involved too!

I am going to hopefully grab some more pics of what I try out and of the Board Room today.
