NewsThere will be RussCon As Usual during the next few weeks. I'll be out of town the weekend before Xmas, but the Wednesdays before and after I will be here for gaming! Remi (who I know by email from the world of webcomics -- check out Remi's Too Fat to be a RockStar) is camping out at my place -- he just moved to Austin! Yes, someone from North Carolina managed to find a job in Austin before I did... I have made a webpage (suitable for printing out) with the Carcassonne tile distribution! |

Carcassonne continues to continue its reign of terror at RussCon! Many people have been bringing sets, which is of course a good thing. At one point there were 3 Carcassonne games going simultaneously! If you are one of the several RussCon Carcassonne owners, feel free to print out my Carcassonne tile distribution.
I resisted the urge to play Carcassonne all night... but got in some more tile placement goodness with the classic Entdecker. Comparisons between the two games are inevitable. Both are definitely worthy games. And I'm not just saying that since Entdecker was the only game all evening where I didn't finish last or next to last.
Meta Party Game ResultsClayton was the Meta Party Devil. Here is the lack of meta party game he emailed out: It's Tues. night and I still can't think of a Meta party game for tomorrow's RussCon. Something may eventually occur to me; but probably not in time. Someone else will have to come up with a Meta party game: my mind simply won't respond to the task.Top RussCon Meta Party Specialists responded to this crisis immediately: You have failed me for the last time, General... There were 3 entries from me, Jeffles, and RussD. Clayton selected RussD's meta party game, so RussD is the Meta Party Devil! I will let RussD email out his meta party game to the list. (Which will save me having to type it in!) |

Clayton is the Devil! Jeffles is Vice-Devil. ChrisH is Vice-Vice-Devil. Then JP, then Squeaky. Steve & I share the Dedicated Award.

If you live in Austin, you should walk the 37th Street Xmas lights. If you don't live in Austin, here's the next best thing.
I have made a webpage (suitable for printing out) with the Carcassonne tile distribution.
Now there are 2 webcomics by RussCon people: Ko Fight Club and Too Fat to be a RockStar.
this is the end...
