Jag har inte hört talas om detta förrän nu. Det kanske är en anledning till att släpa sig dit.

Ron has chosen a laid back format for the event, announcing a place and time and let people self-organise the rest -- I like it

If you live in Norrköping, it should be super easy to drop in and check it out.

I will come down from Stockholm for a couple of days, either the first weekend or the last weekend.

Jag har bara tre minuters promenad dit så det är inte alltför ansträngande att ta sig dit. Om det ger tillfälle att hälsa på några WRNU-personligheter så är det ju inte ett minus.

Jag deltar någon dag.

Jag tror jag bestämmer mig en dag innan, eftersom jag kommer att ha en fem timmars bilkörning.

Clemency quotes:

Do you know what a woman prison is like?

Yes, I’ve seen a documentary about it.



What was the first thing you did after coming out of prison?

I don’t know if I should tell you that.



You are not going to publish that are you? Strike the last thing, everything I just said. (Norman Brown after talking about police violence against black people)



You look good that probably why you got commuted.

The City best moment:

Pontus after losing his wife, his seat in the council, his business and his fortune but comforting himself that he still has his four daughters then the youngest comes home and says she is in love with a metic and wants to marry him.

Runner up:

Leon as the new instructor in the arena with a cold blank stare teaching the next generation to fight and endure pain.

Today I met Gregor Hutton (3:16) and talked and played games. All round nice guy once you tune your ear to his scot. He ran me through a sci fi heist using Shatterzone, a crazy 90s game with exploding dice, task resolution, and cards. Ron challenges us to play games we haven't played before, we certainly ticked that box today.

Half day for me tomorrow then back home.

Nice cosy event, 10-18 each day means we get to play 1-2 longer games and some filler games and still have plenty of time to grab dinner and chat with new/old friends.
