Ciderfest day 2 recap: The Recap-ening · 7:34am Oct 30th, 2016

So as it turns out, yesterday was just the warmup. Today was the legit good time.

I also got to bite Shining Armor's head off today. Like maybe 4 or 5 times. Ripped it clean off.

So first of all, I got to game so much today. I did 2 concurrent Star Wars X-Wing Miniatures demos this morning, including a big battle royale that came down to Han Solo knife-fighting a marauding ARC-170 that had invaded the board. I learned Twilight Sparkle's Secret Shipfic Folder, which was ridiculous. I also got to play in the MLP CCG sealed tournament, and ultimately won it! Not bad for just having learned it the night before.

Oh, but then the prize (a couple more packs) included a lovely card I'd seen art of, and thought, "geez, I'm never gonna get that."

I also did my fanfic panel today, which was attended by none other than fellow Writeoff participants Kwirkyj and Oroboro! (Here's another link to those slides.) I thought it went pretty well, and we got some good discussion going. One of these days though, I think I'd enjoy the challenge of really digging deep and seeing what I could come up with for a more intermediate or advanced level writing panel. Though maybe that would be better to do as a collab with someone who's actually qualified to speak at that level...

Okay, but I keep skipping the good thing, don't I. Here, go check out today's cosplay! It didn't win anything in the cosplay contest, but it got some fun reactions. And I have some better pics that I'll post at some point when I'm not on crappy phone-only non-wifi.

Well dear Lord it's late here. Gotta check out early tomorrow and load my stuff in my car before my second round of X-Wing demos. Then it's the Bronies React panel, and trying to catch Jim Miller for an autograph (missed him by seconds today)...

...and then back to real life!
