I have had my phil of #PhilCon, in the best way possible. Big thanks to the folks who invited me to be a program participant, to my fellow panelists, to the old friends I saw and the new folks I met, and most of all, the people who laughed at my deep cut Rush joke on a panel this morning.

Errick having a drink.
Sunset.
Since I got a westward facing room... Taking a mental break at #PhilCon to watch the sunset and enjoy a cocktail.
Lots of filk at #Philcon. Some regulars aren't here for various reasons, though.

At #Philcon for the weekend.
Starting a game of Blood on the Clocktower. Haven't played this before. Hopefully I don't die too quickly.
Happening right now at #Philcon 2025! Attending authors include @annakashina.bsky.social and Bernie Mojzes.
Find us in the Dealer's Room all weekend! We're live at #Philcon with more books and stickers than we know what to with. We're your favorite sci-fi journal you haven't read yet
If you're at #Philcon this weekend in Cherry Hill, NJ, I'll be reading from my new magical realist novel at 6 pm today in Rm 1023. Please join me. (I'm worried that it's a really bad time slot, and I'll be reading to an empty rooom.)

Had tai chi lesson today, and helped my wife with the weekly shopping, and then spent the afternoon packing for #Philcon. Good to go on that front - I'll be leaving here late morning and hopefully getting checked in at the hotel by 2-3 PM.
See everyone on the other side.
Spent the day getting ready for #Philcon, and I'm just about there - in particular, all the books I'll need are ready to pack, and my convention notebook is just about finished. Still need to track down a couple bits of technical gear and pack my suitcase proper, but that's about it.
This weekend is my last con of the year. Looking forward to seeing some friends at #PhilCon Come on by if you're in the area.
Better day today. Cold seems to be receding - I didn't have much cough or stuffy nose today, just some lingering fatigue. Couple more days of rest & recovery and I should be good to go for the convention.
Speaking of, here's my schedule for #Philcon 2025:

Up days and down days. This cold is getting better, slowly, but I had less energy than I needed today. Got some writing done on my Dune adventure for #Philcon, but it's still not quite finished. Couple more scenes, that's it. Tomorrow, hopefully.
Taking one day at a time.
... so I was able to get some work done. Got a couple of scenes written for my Dune game for #Philcon. Should finish that as early as tomorrow, which leaves me a few days of wiggle room to finish getting ready.
My con schedule is, um, a little busy. Not a bad problem to have. (2/2)

And Stormbringer & Hawkmoon & Rivers of London & King Arthur Pendragon & Ringworld & … (😉😁) #Chaosium #Philcon
Spent today working on my "Dune" adventure for #Philcon, made good progress. I'll probably have that all out of my head and down on paper by the weekend. Good thing, since I'll be leaving for the convention in just over a week . . .
I’m signing autographs at 1 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 22 at Philcon in Cherry Hill, NJ! Come say hi and see what my scribbling looks like! Also, free bookmarks! ✍️ #author #books #philcon #sciencefiction #fantasy #horror
Felt kind of unwell most of the afternoon - possibly some sinuses-and-ears ick going on. Still managed a few hundred more words on the Cultural Evolution Game, and about 1,200 words on the next Lower Decks story.
Really need to finish up my Dune adventure for #Philcon, though.

So. #PAXUnplugged, #PhilCon, AND #MonsterMania will all take place on the same weekend in the Philly / Philadelphia area, in 2025. I have no words. #Games, #SFF, #Horror.
Managed to solve my first no-kidding differential equation in forty years. My brain is tired now.
Didn't get much work done on creative projects today, though I did work with my playtesters and get my #Philcon schedule just about firmed up. I'll take it.
More math tomorrow.

Incremental progress on the "Dune" adventure for #Philcon today - got a couple of scenes written and finished outlining the rest of it. Had hoped to be further along at this point, but I got poor sleep last night and wasn't as effective today as I might have wished.
More tomorrow.

Spent most of today working on my "Dune" adventure for #Philcon. Good progress. I suspect I may be able to get the whole thing written up by Monday with time to spare.
Once that's done, I need to spend a few days on my mathematics course. Feel like I'm close to falling behind on that.
Spent way too much time today wrestling with the Dune: Adventures in the Imperium character design sequence. I *think* I have it down now.
I'll be running two Modiphius-house-system games at #Philcon next month, and honestly, I hope those go well. (1/2)

Think what's left of the month is going to be devoted to my mathematics course and writing a "Dune: Adventures in the Imperium" scenario for #Philcon. Doubt there will be any time left over, but we'll see. (2/2)
#studying #writing
Next couple of weeks are going to be devoted to "Composer of Cultures" and work on my university courses, I think. Oh, and getting my last major item for #Philcon finished. We'll see if any other small projects get done in between all that. (2/2)
There we go. Got my #StarTrekAdventures game all set up for #Philcon in November - about 30 pages of material (character sheets, cheat sheets for the game system, GM notes, and such).
That's all my Philcon chores for September done, with a week to spare. Now to pivot to other projects.
