Name that Octopod - Chicago OctoCON Edition (NF56K)

Post by Zarathud »

While this site was submerged, the Octopus Overlords gathered around the Chicago gaming proving grounds (the "OctoCON") thanks to the efforts of hentzau. It's time to play...name that Octopod! Or just add your own caption!

#1 Arkham Horror (aka there's a tentacle in my eye)
Image

#2 Game of Thrones (aka grin and bear it)
Image

#3 Game of Thrones (aka more victims for snow)

#8 Age of Mythology (aka the illuminated JeffV)
Image

#9 Fury of Dracula (aka where's Dracula?)
Image

The Elk Grove Irregulars -- Tommeh to the left playing Dracula, with his 4 friends as the hapless victims. Trust me, Tommeh cheats. It's either that or Tommeh can read my tells so well that he can tell what I had for lunch yesterday in this game.

#10 Warrior Knights (aka you can never have enough game bits)
Image
The sun sets on yet another learning game. I badly want to play a full game, since it has almost all the classic Fantasy Flight mechanics in one game!

I have a bunch more pics to add to this. I'll try and get them done today. Cause, I'm lazy and stuff.

But yeah, it was a lot of fun. We'll need to do it again this fall.

I was wondering if these pictures would surface. I'm the guy in the black "I pwn noobs" hoodie.

In picture #2 Game of Thrones, I'm sitting behind the guy in the black hood. Or maybe that's the back of my head near the kitchen getting food.

I love the pained look on JeffV's face on the front right in #2. I understood he took a brutal beating in that play of Game of Thrones.

Of course, it was from snow -- who I'll out as the grinning fool in #2 next to JeffV, and the plotter standing up on the left in #3 (and standing up during a board game is LARPing!). Do not trust snow in any game of back-stabbing skullduggery. Or at least trust him less than me. :ninja:

What I don't understand is how that wolf got the sheep to do his bidding before they too became a tasty snack. Apparently, it was blatantly obvious to no one besides me. :?
