Looks awesome! I wish I could have been there.

Next time.

Thanks for posting the pics, Mark! Here are a few I took towards the end of the night:

Another successful Gameday for the books. In all, I can account for 37 attendees, with the possibility for maybe two more walk-ins that I'm not sure were on the sign-in sheet. That's a pretty decent-sized Gameday; the room certainly felt bustling and loud all day.

Thanks to Games Plus, our volunteer GMs, and of course to everyone who attended. A big shout out to the crowd from Madison who came down and filled up all our empty seats!

Special thanks to Tim, Elijah, and Keith for playing in my TSOY event. As I'd never played it before, it had rough spots, but overall I think we had a lot of fun.

More specialer thanks to Bill, Elijah (again!), Dave, and Reid for the "Delta Green in the Vineyard" event in the morning. I had a blast! I even bought a copy of Delta Green d20 (gotta get that setting fluff!) right afterwards. And I am totally sold on DitV now.

Please feel free to share your war stories, and stay tuned for word of the date for Gameday 27.

Woooooo, GameDay!

Always an awesome time, but I really enjoyed yesterday. Even if I was more of a Game Journeyman than a Game Master, losing track of NPC names and which one was which in BOTH slots, heh.

Extreme thanks as always to Buzz for organizing, Curt & Games Plus for hosting, and super thanks to all my players, who definitely got into both their characters and the settings, making things just tons of fun all around. (I got your nose... *dies laughing*)

And since all my Supernatural players just look to see I'm running an event and sign up without reading it (which IS a compliment, though, thanks!), the link to the SUPERNATURAL: ROADTRIP opening credits leads to the video on my site, _here_, and there's a download button beneath it, if you wanted a copy.

Oh, and Yes, Padre Carlos successfully removed the demon's marks from your souls at noon the next day. (I gotta write the next "episode" to be fast-forwardable, so we don't keep missing important details at the end, oops.)

See Y'all Next Time!!!

Good times! Thanks to Buzz and Curt, WJ and Reidzilla, and to all my fellow players. Special shout out to my Madison peeps. Let's do it all again RSN (but not too RSN, I need some sleep @_@).

Thank you all for coming out, thanks again to the GMs, and a special thanks to buzz for organizing this.

(I would fork this if that button still existed)

Thanks, as always, to thalmin, Games Plus, and Mark AKA "Buzz" for hosting and organizing. There was a good vibe in the gameroom as usual and the new blood was also welcome. Thanks to pvt. patterson and oneleggedman for an unpredictable game of Kingmaker that went back and forth many times due to war and plague ending in an uneasy truce/draw. Also, thanks much to the Skach Family for bringing BattleMasters. We had a blast and it was good to meet Len and see WRon again, along with Jim, C-Dawg and the Halinator.

I must have had five helpings of TracerBullet42 a l'orange with a side of cowbell. Delicious!

Gee Thanks Mark, we already felt bad that we had to miss breakfast, but rub it in about the delicious num nums!!!


That's ok, in a sense, I had a double helping of Supernatural to make up for the loss. The morning game was pretty kool. Note to anyone who plays Ghostfacers: Do not be nosey (like me) or push ppl into anything sharp, evil, & hurtie... it'll come back to bite ya in the end. Go figure!

Josh, it was a great game as always. It was an immense pleasure to see old friends & Mz PuffDebbie to make new ones!!! Josh, The video you put together for us was so awesome, I love it!!! I'm gonna have John download it for me!!!! Thank you, thank you.

This GameDay was particularly special (cause they're all special to me) because we rarely see everyone from the store since we moved. We miss you all. It felt so good seeing everyone & maybe as great as GameDay itself was the nightcap of fun, stories, & laughter shared outside when the store closed.

Thanks to Buzz for organizing, Games Plus for hosting, and Mark for the pics.

Thanks to my players for weathering the Hill Fort Meatgrinder. Hopefully you had some fun after being burned, bludgeoned, stabbed and teleport-punched. For anyone interested, under the original module tournament point system your party scored 40 points out of a possible 50.

Thanks Josh for another fun game of Supernatural. Of course we'll always sign up for your Supernatural events sight-unseen. I'm surprised Buzz doesn't post your SPN events with our names hard-coded into the list.

And thanks to the Paranoia table. Your comments from over the wall kept us laughing. Although I was the only one unsurprised about the "Will you teach us about sex" comment. It's Paranoia! [The comment did put the seed of a Paranoia adventure idea in my head though. I will probably never use it, so if you're interested WJMacGuffin, pm me.]

Thanks to Curt and everyone at Games Plus for being such gracious hosts, to Buzz for organizing, and to all the GMs. I enjoyed J.D. Skach's game and was glad to see every one.

Ah, so that explains the bite marks...

Another great gameday! It was so good to be back after missing the last four of these...

Thanks to Curt (Thalmin) and Mark (Buzz) for hosting/organizing everything!

Great fun in the morning Star Wars game was had by all. Who knew that a young jedi named Adam could make a convincing female wookie jedi? Awesomeness. Extra special thanks to Skywill for knowing what "Myrkr" was...good to have someone at the table who knows something about Star Wars!

To my afternoon players, thanks for playing! sw3333, rvalle, bigznak, oneleggedman, Ermac426, and JonLib stayed off the revenge antics of one really pissed off Death Knight. In fact, they killed him and his #1 minion in just two rounds...(and I wept a little.)

More importantly, the evil magical flying cow of doom (Demimoo!) was slain and will no longer be able to harass anyone...(because it'd be ridiculous to have an undead evil magical flying cow of doom, right? RIGHT?)

Thanks again!!!

I just got back from Half Priced Books where I picked up a sealed copy of Ghostbusters Pumpkin Patch Panic for $4.

That's going for $25 on eBay. Don't know if anyone's buying it, though, it's all Buy It Now prices.
