New comment on GeekList Microbadge Congratulations - December 2024 through July 2026

by SlyMathMan

It truly is the most difficult microbadge I've obtained.

It required:
1. Significant research to find out the rules for submission, the submission review process, finding the correct forum for the approval process, then figuring out a technique to make an interesting microbadge.
2. Creating these microbadges can take hours of time. Yes they are small, but making them interesting is even harder because of the size.
3. Then there is the approval process, which is more of a discussion of how you can potentially improve your design or in some cases completely redesign your microbadge.
4. Figure out the odd unofficial process of what it means for your microbadge to actually be approved.
5. Figure out the submission process.

It may not seem like much. But when you have no idea what the steps are or where to go it can be very daunting.

Then... your microbadge actually has to be nice/popular enough to have sold at least 4 copies.

Doing this is more of a little passion project than anything else.

When you check in on the second floor to purchase the badge, they'll also give you a validation ticket for parking; you may need to specifically ask for it though. You pay for parking on the way out, not when you arrive

It's going to be my first time going to Strategicon for the the VFM. For the $15 pass it says we can't get it online, does that mean we can only buy it in person when we get there I assume? And if we don't have that $15 badge before actually going does that mean we also don't get the ability to get a discount for parking?

My wife and I occasionally do short character scenes when inspiration strikes. As several of our games have moved online, it is essentially impossible to just have moments of quiet discussion between characters during the actual games, so we make do.

Once, back when I was flying to and from GenCon. When I was in the airport on my way home, I stumbled into a group of fellow RPGers playing D&D while waiting for their flights. I think I just observed as they were already mid-adventure, but it was still a nice "community of shared interests" moment that lasted until we had to split up to board our various flights home.

I should have saved the dinosaur story I used for yesterday's QotD for this question!

I do like the Seattle Scream handouts I do for my Shadowrun campaign, just a single page with six pieces, local and national (sometimes international) news, which may be hints on what missions are coming up and may reflect what trouble the characters have caused in recent adventure, or may just be color to help make the world feel more real. (My most recent example is linked from here.)

Now I want to create a game where candy is the measure of energy or effort a character puts into a test, and accumulates with rest...any time a player runs out of candy, they are required to rest to gain more. 🤪

Mine was a Cthulhu dice tower I got from the US Chain of Generosity.
