Following the ceremony, the happy couple welcomed friends and family to the "reception," a.k.a. the in-house gaming convention known as GwenCon 2002.
Approximately
40 guests attended during the weekend, which featured a variety of events,
including the puzzle-solving extravaganza known as "The Game" (run by Greg
Collins, at right), an inspiration for the "Big Event" at GenCon 2002...
...RPG
scenarios with such diverse themes as JD Wiker's "Evil Dead" game, John
Rateliff's "Scooby-Doo Cthulhu" (at left), Charles Ryan's modern-day dungeon
crawl
...
...
Jesse Decker's "Hazzard County Cthulhu," JD Wiker's Mage game (at right),
and Andy Collins' "Rock Me, Asmodeus," about a trio of demon princes attempting
to steal the Rod of Asmodeus ...
...
board games such as D&D Clue, Ra, and Formula De (at left) ...
...
plus an actual old-fashioned puzzle, assembled by Julia Martin and others (at left).
Much
fun was had by all, particularly by Velma (a.k.a. Gwendolyn Kestrel, who as you
can see, loves costumes of all sorts).
