Tentacles 2008 Beetle Rapport:

So, after many years of wanting to go to the con, I finally gathered a couple of my friends and headed south!

FRIDAY:

We flew down to Frankfürt, and then took the train to Bacharach, where we arrived around 7 p.m.

My compadres:

Jaran:


And Morten!




Bacharach was quite a cool town, with old buildings...


...and gargoyles!




The castle lay on top of a steep hill which we had to climb to get there. CON rolls were only failed once during the walk. Nice view on the way up though.




Arriving at the castle, we found the infoshrine where we registered and bought beer-coupons! It turned out that I had won one of the horror lotteries, so I would get the chance to play with Charlie Krank himself later that weekend. We rushed down to the cafeteria to get some dinner while it was still being served, and used some time to search for the key to our room afterwards (turned out the door was open...).


Tentacles Pubquiz
My group did horribly. I blame it all on the D&D questions.




Cthulhu for President Rally
Mike Mason leading the ceremony. My ears are still ringing...




SingalongaNick
A group of singers in the cellar singing Gloranthan tunes. I joined in for some songs, but not long enough to tick the Sing-skill box.

Socializing
After that, socializing and drinking! Great fun. Had a long talk with the famous Simon Phipp among others! I also talked a bit to Pedro Zivani who is writing the "Mythic Iceland" supplement, and was happy to hear that the project was progressing well.
