Schedule all of your events around that time. Plan to be there around 10ish to get prepared (tokens ready, etc, get choice of characters before the other 3 players, etc. =) ). That covers me, Bob, Josh, John, and Chris.

You guys can wait to pay me back at GenCon with cash if you'd like. It'll give me some spending money.

 

[Grimhelm]

Hey, Chris, how are you? I called you the other day... Give me a ring, let me know how you are!

Plus there's the finals for the tournaments I'm in on Saturday:

Puerto Rico Semis at 5pm (2 hours)
Puerto Rico Finals at 7pm (2 hours)
Roborally Finals at 5pm (4 hours)
3D Robo Rally Finals at 6pm (2 hours)
Ticket to Ride Semis at 9pm (1 hour)
Ticket to Ride National Championship Finals at 10pm (however long it takes )

So, depending on how I do, I may have some tough decisions to make on Saturday evening.

I'm missing out on Powergrid this year because I forgot about it when I registered us for True Dungeon. Oh well, TD is much more fun, 'specially with friends...

Thanks for taking care of this Chris. I'm really looking forward to it now!

GM: Freedom isn't Free (Mutants & Masterminds) Thursday 3 p.m.

I just submitted the two M&M games I hope to run, so I don't know if those will actually come to pass or not. If not, I think I will pick up a handful of generics and just try the first game I come across.

 

[Fyrestryke]

You're welcome Bob. I know what you mean. I'm so excited. August can't get here fast enough. =)

If not, I think I will pick up a handful of generics and just try the first game I come across.

What if the first game you come across is a Barbie (tm) RPG or something like that??

Hey Grimhelm! Gimme another call. I'm gonna be busy bowlin' tonite so I won't be available tonite, but call me when you're free and hopefully I won't be too busy to talk for a bit.

 

[thormagni]

What if the first game you come across is a Barbie (tm) RPG or something like that??

Well, clearly it would depend on whether it was the D20 version of Barbie & Ken RPG or AB&K 2e. I always thought there were too many classes in AB&K 2e and it really got away from the core of the game system.

Plus they had all those extra Ability Scores. Everyone knows that the real B&K only uses Charisma. And there is no base attack bonus, 'cause GI Joe is always kicking Ken's AC.

On a serious note, I signed up for a Bureau 13 game, not realizing that the game hasn't been in print in like 17 years. I think they were coming out with a D20 version, but I believe that was PDF only.

I just got an e-mail tonight that my M&M events for Gen Con have been "accepted for consideration." So, no times or tables yet, but it looks like we are moving in the right direction. I asked for 3-7 p.m. slots on Thursday and Friday, but that isn't set in stone.

Sweet! Keep us posted. =)

I wrote my Gen Con preview story for today's paper, which was mostly a sidebar for a story about people playing more games 'cause the economy stinks. Here's a link to the story:
