Main impression after my first #GothCon: it is an excellent gaming convention. In fact, it is almost identical to the likewise excellent #LinCon, which is closer to my home and just six weeks later in the spring. So all in all, I feel that I would probably attend GothCon too regularly if it were in November. But I don't need two identical cons six weeks apart.

I have the dreaded con crud, that is, the cold you catch at a long gaming convention. *sniffle*

#GothCon 2025, games played.

#Boardgames: Netrunner, The Grizzled, Farkle, Kingdomino, Zombie Dice, Hansa Teutonica, Ticket To Ride, Patchwork, Sanctum.

#ttrpg: Game-mastered 10 hours of Brindlewood Bay for three groups.

In the Brindlewood Bay RPG you play widows in their 70s who investigate murders in a small coastal Massachusetts town. Over the past days I've played it with three groups of four each: one with players c. 30, one men c. 55, one highschoolers 17. Worked well throughout, 13 people had fun!

Sanctum #boardgames #gothcon

#Goodmorning from #Göteborg. Last day of #Gothcon. More tea, more game-mastering, then home to YuSie in #Fisksätra. What are you up to?

Ticket To Ride #boardgames #gothcon

Hansa Teutonica #boardgames #gothcon

Brindlewood Bay: these four elderly ladies solve murder cases in a New England harbour village. #ttrpg #gothcon

#GothCon auction: you can buy Skyrealms of Jorune and Chivalry & Sorcery. But mostly newer #boardgames.

I'm never interested in even one percent of what's on the block. But it's a bit of a show and a shared event.

Though #GothCon has much better food than #LinCon, it hasn't got a games fleamarket.

Kingdomino #boardgames #gothcon

#Goodmorning from #Göteborg. Today's back to the gaming convention, play a boardgame, preview the auction goods, game-master Brindlewood Bay, attend the auction, and maybe, just maybe, nap during it. What are you up to?

Had a fun four hours game-mastering "The Great Brindlewood Bay Bake-Off" with four lively players. Turns out one of the show-hosts had bashed in one of the judges' head with a BAFTA Award over her professional jealousy.

The #Gothcon meat balls & mash are better than the #LinCon burger. No prefab.

J.P.S. Publishing has arrived and is fully operational at this year's #GothCon in Gothenburg #writing #publishing #bookstodon

#Goodmorning from #GothCon in #Göteborg! Looking forward to three days of gaming. I've already met loads of old LinCon buddies.

The #tea bar at #GothCon has heard my prayers! Unseasoned Assam!

Re-reading the rules for Brindlewood Bay. I'm going to put some extra focus now on the finale scene after the investigators have succeeded in identifying the murderer. I think that kind of got lost in our previous home campaign.

#Goodmorning from Fisksätra. Beginning my day as so often currently with exasperated disgust over the stupid and ignorant of this world, I plan to translate some 19th century Scottish fiction and then travel to Gothenburg to attend Sweden's oldest gaming convention, #GothCon. What are you up to?
