Many RPG societies exist in the Internet in form of web rings, forums and IRC channels. Earlier cons have had sfnet.harrastus.pelit.rooli meetings, and other groups have met as well. One such society — both rpg.net forum and #rpgnet channel — met in Ropecon 2007 on Saturday afternoon.
It wasn’t the first time this group – known in an informal fashion as the ”Finnpack” –had met: the first meeting was in Ropecon 2004. This time, however, was exceptional, as it turned out that we had lured several foreigners in as well. Guests from Great Britain, Lithuania and Sweden graced the meeting with their presence.
The meeting was very jovial and various refreshments were enjoyed: from innocent soda to sinful beer and delightful white wine. Various foods were also consumed, and then the gathering made a major discovery.
Notable archaeological find
One of the gathering members returned from the restaurant’s counter with a remarkable find: a fossilized pizza. A major argument broke out regarding the nature of the find: one-third argued for a pizzarang (a device thrown like a boomerang), another third said that it was sharpened originally and needed a new haft to work like an axe, and the last third guessed that the remains of the ancient pizza was a sacred ritual item used in fertility rituals. An inquiry at the check-out resulted the waitress reaquiring the item, and handing an inferior, soft triangle to hungry con-goer. ConText suspects that she may have been in cahoots with the black-dressed pair of men who showed up earlier after our inquiry regarding the nature of floating objects observed earlier on Saturday morning.
