So I realize I was suppose to write this as a daily post while it was going on.  I also realize that at the very least I should have done a wrapup either Sunday or Monday after it was ended.  I didn’t, so sue me. I had finals to do, thesis papers to write, overtime to do at work, and lots of crap going on.  I’m writing it now though.  So be happy or go tape your thumbs to your fingers and pretend your a dinosaur.  Either way is fine by me.

For those of you who don’t know GameStorm, is a gaming convention in the Portland area. In fact it is one of the ONLY gaming conventions in the Portland area.  This seems to be the 12th one that they have done so far. As such you would think that it would be a veritable smorgasboard of gaming, well run conventionness, and in general live up to it’s name.  Unfortunately, this is not the case.  Twelve Storms in and the only thing they manage to “storm” is FailStorm.  The entire convention feels very amateurish, slap-dash put together at the last minute, and in general not worth the money that you pay to go let alone all of the other money that you pay for the events, food, gas, etc.

So Open Grave: Secrets of the Undead came out today.  And the question in most peoples mind has to be, Is it worth it?  What makes this book worth going out and dropping the $30 for it.  Well that’s what I hope to answer for you today, or at least give you some general idea on. Be warned all ye who enter though, this way lies madness (and alot of bad analogies and catch phrases).
