Ohio Game Day Report with Pictures

Enkhidu · Jan 20, 2003

Hoody hoo!

Boy howdy this weekends was loads o' fun.

Thanks to all the clones who gave their lives in service to the Computer - some really classic moments came out of this one, including one point where, after hearing the screams of a dying clone out of sight down an ultraviolet clearance corridor, all one of the hapless clones could say was, "Citizen? Do you still need that security escort?"

Thanks again to P-kitty for Bramst-O-KER's Paranoia - I had a hoot running it and laughs came easily all around.

So when is the next one of these?

This is great! I wish I could have been there.

So, the Paranoia game went well?

Absolutely! I love coming up with lines of thinking that lead me to the conclusion that someone is a traitor or a commie or a mutant or a commie, mutant, traitor. Such as starting the gun battle in R&D. When we were handed the gas masks that we couldn't see through (there was a big cloud of noxious gas for those who did not play or write the game) I wandered around until I decided to take it off to try and figure out where I was. My eyeballs immediately bled out of my skull and I proceeded to put my mask back on and yell for aid at the top of my lungs. No one responded to me so I decided they all must be traitors because they won't aid their troubleshooting team member. I let loose randomly with my modified six- shot laser blaster and killed the R&D guy on the first shot. A battle with everyone involved quickly escalated. FUN!!!

50-60 thousand people turned up for the National Championship celebration. Wow, and they all stayed away and didn't bother us

Much like you, I'm not gonna read Whispering Woodwind and ruin the fun by learning what (if any) effects the flute may place the party under. Also, thanks for the warm invitation to crash at your home next time...we may just take you up on the offer

. And tell Aurora she need not be shy -- her PC doesn't wet herself like mine, as Clear Dragon so kindly pointed out

Don't worry about reading the module, the Flute has risen above what it is in there.

The guy on the left in the third pic is my friend and DM Chris (posted to the signup thread under screenname Nightsend). He doesn't frequent the boards much so I better give away his identity for him.

Man, I wish I could have made it. Sounds like everything went great, so I'll cross my fingers that there's another Ohio game day, and that I have a chance of getting to it if there is.

Just wanted to post and say that I too had a great time. Many thanks to Crothian, Clear Dragon, and everyone else who helped set the gameday up.

I played:

Eddie "Cowboy" Winters in Dan's insanely fun d20 Modern game, where I was half of the elf fishing team. It just stands to reason that a martial artist and a gunslinger would choose to bring down an opponent with a van and a net.

Battlemaster Thorn in ashockney's Hall of the Fire Giants game, where I learned that half damage from a 12-headed pyrohydra is still a bucketload of damage.

Illuminati with Crothian. I'm still not sure I understand that game, though I did enjoy it.

Yes, its true, I am the mysterious bald guy in the grey sweatshirt in all the pictures.

At any rate, It was great meeting you all; I had a great time, and I'm looking forward to the next one.

There will be.

BButler, sorry I forgot your name, corrections being made now.
