Chicago Gameday XX was June 14th: AFTERMATH
- Thread starter buzz
- Start date
Compromise: Limit the online signups for ADatR to six (which we have) - leaving room for 2 walk-ins.
The way I read it from the front page, we have - as of Wed AM - 8 open slots for walk-ins. Total. Which doesn't do much for opening up the event to people who don't already know about us...
Breakfast is looking like it'll fit into a "large party" by Le Peep's standards. If we'll NOT be table-hopping, we need to make a reservation. Additionally, they'll want us all on one check with a fixed gratuity included (IIRC 15%). If that changes your RSVP for breakfast, I'd say speak up now or cope with the consequences later.

I'm fine leaving it with eight if you are. I was just confused before.ekb said:
Based on past performance, eight is actually a lot of slots for AM walk-ins. The number of walk-ins tends to be pretty inconsistent, especially for the AM slot. I understand the desire to accommodate them, but honestly my priority are the people who signed up in advance and the volunteer GMs. Ergo, I leave it up to the GMs to decide whether they want to run if they have few or no sign-ups.ekb said:
(I removed mine because: a) I would have needed at least two more people to make a viable game, and 2) anything that is not D&D or Cthulhu tends to be a hard sell for walk-ins, IME. That would leave me and my guest—who flew out from Wyoming for this thing—hunting for an event in the afternoon. I felt more comfortable making sure we had something scheduled.)
I've gone ahead and made a reservation (see the first post). Le Peep has allowed us to do separate checks the last few times, and the manager I spoke had no problem with it.ekb said:
Just remember to tip well, folks!

Well, you could just have the Computer tell them they're a 17th level character as it dispenses nine swords to them alone and hand the player one of your last event's characters, complete with the special battle cards, that ought to be impressive. . .or frighten them away entirely. One or the other, I'm sure...

Well, I hope to get a few more sign ups, but I will see if I have enough people to run my game -which is designed for six players. (I can adjust on the fly.)
