Matt Webb and his crew run an amazing World of Darkness LARP to be sure! That was easily the most fun I've had LARPing since the days of the Eccentric Wizard in the mid-90's. I wasn't sure how I was going to handle playing a Brujah (it was a pre-gen), since I've always enjoyed my Setites, Toreadors, and other conniving little characters (and of course my truly disturbed Malkavians), but I have to say that throwing Brian Zedney's character out of a window was a little cathartic after all the years of having my characters be the physical equivalent of a mouse with degenerative scoliosis.
I couldn't turn down the request to bring the Steampunk Violinist to ShevaCon after all! I roamed the hallways in full Steampunk ball finery (ok, no corsets this time, just a heavily modified semi-formal) and serenaded the Con guests Friday and Saturday evenings for about 2 hours at a time. I was asked to sit in with the drum circle, then played a bit with a Goth band that had crashed into a room for the night. It was a blast!
And we're always excited to see the Dealer's Room! We get some of our best costuming ideas seeing the various eccentricities... This time was no different. Lost Saints Curiousities and Commodore Lorpricar were there, which was a very unique experience with some awesome finds. B&D Comics never disappoints with its selection and of course, the Crystal Cottage is one of my favorite dealer's ever! He finds some of the most amazing gems and earthy things.
We even sat in on a brief Magic game and got to hang out with the 501st and Mandalorian Mercs while our two oldest boys enjoyed hanging out with the robotics designers. Now they have dreams of building their own R2-D2 (in green of course!)
And, I met a medium named Jenny Stewart who helped me resolve some questions about my grandmother, which was nice and cathartic as well!
All in all, ShevaCon did not disappoint!
