I have been going to Dorkstock every year since I was 3 months old, excluding it’s brief hiatus. Once a part of RockCon, now a part of GameholeCon, Dorkstock was one of my favorite conventions as a child. It was where I first started doing Paint-N-Takes, where I met many of my gaming friends and where I played my first games of Munchkin and Chez Geek.
This was the second year of Dorkstock being a part of GameholeCon, and this year we got to share a room with Looney Labs. Remarkably, I only played two Looney Labs games over the course of the day (we were only there for Saturday this year). I played Doctor Who Fluxx, which comes out on the 23rd, and Choose One, a Would You Rather game where one person chooses what they’d rather and you try to guess their answer.
I spent the majority of my time helping a friend run a live version of Escape From Dork Tower, where you are moving from room to room and trying not to let the monster catch up to you. My role was the dice chaser, which is exactly what it sounds like.
I also played Chez Goth, which may not have been entirely age appropriate. John Kovalic won the Igor Bar Contest, since he was the only one who brought any. Igor Bars have (at minimum) a chocolate chip cookie layer, caramel and rice crispy treats layer.
