Hi-de-hi folks 🙂

I’m currently planning a 1:1 dungeon of my own 😉
(no … not that kind of dungeon … )
It’s difficult to plan such things without access to the property,  so I suspect things will start to click when I get the keys on friday. Did I mention I will have a proper hobby room and one for my computer ?
So tempted to pick the smallest room available as my bedroom, but we’ll see.

Either lots of DIY in my future or a lot of expensive folk doing things for me ’cause I’m not 100% convinced that painting a wall is a thing that should be done by me.

oh … and I need to think of moving furniture to my new home too. That’s not going to be something I can do because (a) I am not suited to lifting things and (b) no drivers license either so that makes things tricky too. Luckily there’s solutions to that, but those will cost a bit of money.

Good news is that I get two days off from work to do all of that for free.

// Con Crud: how fast can you catch it?
Either I visit the wrong cons or I’m immune.
Only exception was my first BoW Bootcamp, but I suspect I had a bit of cold before so the flight to and from just made it worse.

The two local conventions have a lot of well ventilated space and they are mostly boardgame focused which may help.

// Convention Treasures: how deep are your pockets?
As deep as they need to be. I tend to come prepared if I know there’s stuff I want to buy.

// Pro and Con of conventions
Pro : see new stuff

Con: too few of them and the internet news is so fast while the local cons are so insignificant (and focused on boardgames) that there isn’t that much new.

UK Game Expo and Spiel are on my list of places to visit, but that will have to wait ’til I’m done moving so next year?
