Guess I'm just a good man. Well, I'm all right.

So, having failed to go to Arisia due to snow, I went to Vericon. I met Jacqueline Carey and got her new book signed, heard James Morrow tell a silly story (alternating every other word with a cheerful undergrad) at a story reading, and played Mal Reynolds in a Firefly oneshot RPG.

*Captain* Mal Reynolds.

This was, as well as highly entertaining, ( a fascinating roleplaying experience )

I'm trying to remember now if, in the Star Trek mystery game I played in high school (junior high? it was one of those box dinner mystery games) Picard was one of the characters. I rather think not, it would have been too imbalancing in the same way.
