A Very Cyberpunk Christmas
Dec. 28th, 2020 11:59 pmThe Year of the Stainless Steel Rat cyberpunk convention has run, and I must say with a degree of success. All the speakers were absolutely great but I really want to point out Walter Jon Williams, Dan Smif Smith, Sarena Ulibarri, and Tod Foley's presentations. Anyway, the next step is to get the transcript of the conference together - six hours' worth - and then compile that with the gaming scenarios. All together this should make for a double-issue of RPG Review. There were things that didn't go together as well as I should have; I was so concerned with the transcript that I neglected to ensure that I had a recording. The gaming session registrations didn't go as planned, but we did get to Cyberpunk RED. As always with free events, there were a number of people who signed up and simply didn't attend without nary a whisper why. Still, with a couple of follow-up actions to complete it is certain that I'm going to rambling on about this a bit for a few more weeks.
Christmas day itself was largely spent with Brendan E., as is often the case, although I did get to spend the evening with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lei_loo and her family, which was a real joy. The actual day itself has never one that has held much attachment to me, which I have written about in the past. Still, the opportunity to catch up with friends and loved ones is a good enough reason in itself and has been the case for many years the stalwart has provided fine company and this was no exception, as he plied me with various vodka slushies as I baked salmon and put together a meringue and chocolate ice-cream combination. Video entertainment was two very different films that still had an emphasis on partnership and teamwork; the animation-comedy, Ronal the Barbarian, and the action science-fiction, The Edge of Tomorrow (which would been vastly improved if they chopped the ending). Poor Brendan had to endure my recommendation of James Ricker's recent short (under ten minutes) version of The Little Match Girl, which follows the main themes of the traditional story, but with one great addition.
