Got up an hour earlier than during the week(!), drove to the station and ran into the first lot of usual suspects (Sheila and Neil). I wonder what other people on the (almost 15 minutes delayed) train thought when we all unpacked unusual books making notes and writing character sheets for our respective games. ;o)
Bloody Circle line was closed around Kings Cross so we had to detour via Victoria but that wasn't too bad. The next familiar faces were Sue and Roger at the tube station and then![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sje2 in the queue.
Got in, handed over my sign-up sheet and wandered around the trade hall a bit.
The Bad: ONE person signed up for Midway City so it didn't happen. :o(
The Good: Played Paula Dempsey's andgbsteve's Billy Bunter's Christmas Hamper freeform which was a lot of fun and featured loads of familar faces from the freeform crowd.
After a brief break of wandering around and taking a few photos, it wasspencerpine's All Creatures Crazed and Feral freeform. Sharing almost all of the players from the previous game and a complete newbie to LARP/freeform who turned to be very good at it.
I don't want to tell too much about either game in case they want to run them again somewhere.
The charity auction was the last item on my list and I only spent 55 quid (some Rik Martin art and a Pirate card game with a Deliria supplement that sounded interesting), quite a lot less than I usually spend but finances have been a bit tight recently and two things I wanted went way beyond my budget (total of 150).
Trade Hall haul was: My Life with Master, Kill Puppies for Satan (annotated edition), The Book of Unremitting Horrors and the Call of Cthulhu silent movie DVD (which I'm going to watch now!)
Photos tomorrow.

I never saw that at the con! I want a copy of that! Damnit!
Oh well. I spent more than I could afford anyway. I have the HPLHS webpage booked, and can order it in the new year.

If you want to borrow it, I can bring it to the pub on Tuesday.
