I agree that I don't want to give up a nice dinner event. But we could try to wrap up on time or early on Sunday to do the dinner. Or are you proposing that we do Friday and Saturday dinners as usual and then just head home after the game on Sunday?

I would keep the Friday and Saturday dinner rather than try for a Sunday dinner. Even if we wrap up early, everyone will have work the next day and may need to get stuff done around the house.

Also, people like Henry or CL will be driving home, so even if we end early on Sunday, then that is a consideration for them.

I'd keep the Friday & Saturday dinners. I'd ahev to get on the road midday Sunday at the latest, so anything on Sunday evening is out for me.

Saturday night also makes for a nice break in the middle of the weekend, so people who aren't going to be around on Sunday get to hangotu for a while and say goodby, while the people who will be around the next day get to have a relaxing time between two days of gaming.

BelenUmeria, what a great intro to d20 future I don't know if you expected us to use an action point for every round that we had to make a roll, but you ceratinly handled it with style. It was a great idea for a one shot, and would probably make an excellent campaign, especially if (and I'm only guessing here) that's just the tip of the ice berg. I'm banking on the next set of heroes having to defend Earth against an entire fleet of those suckers.

Hmm, my thought was that the next group tries to find a way to go through the portal and take the fight to the bad guys. That can still follow your idea... or we can leave B.U. to come up with his own idea...

We know he does that well!

Oh, and not breaking 5 on a Will save all afternoon was offset by TempleTroll not socring below 25 on a navigation check and myself not scoring below 20 on a single pilot check. You can just rename the R.C.S. Carolina the R.C.S. Untouchable

That made up for my monk against the giants only hitting once - I stunned that giant, and missed killing it by one but that was the only hit. Luckily, I wasn't hit, either. 27 hit points does not make a front line fighter!

Oh, one last thing. It's a good thing that sholz skipped out on this one! We had our first Game Day birth yesterday! Sholz and his lovely wife are proud parents of a healthy baby boy, born just about 30 minutes after Game Day got into full swing. Congrats!

Ah, now that is cool!

P.S. die_kluge and Cthulhu's Librarian: I've been checking out HARP and am interested. Maybe we could do something next time? Are there any game days up in your area?

Somebody say HARP???

When I ran the HARP events at the DC Game Day back in October, we took the award for the loudest table in the room, just because the guys playing were having so much fun.

As die_kluge notes below, CL and I are going to be trying to organize a C-Ville Game Day sometime over the next few months (or perhaps die_kluge's dream of a Richmond/C-ville game could be realized).

Btw, if you have any specific HARP questions, feel free to start a new thread with them, and I will be sure to jump in and do my best to answer them.

CL was trying to organize a Charlottesville Game Day. Who knows, maybe a Charlottesville/Richmond game day could be a possibility some day. I could always run a HARP game next time I come to an NC game day. That'd be third in a list of games I'd like to run!

Only third??? For shame!!

Well, I guess I will be emailing CL tomorrow so that we can start seeing about a C-Ville Game Day....

Oh well, it was an interesting exercise. Henry and I commented that were about 6/7 years old when that 1e PHB was printed. That was sobering (and I hadn't even been drinking anything!)

I was 23 at that time.

Had just gotten out of the Navy, and played my first game of D&D late 78. The PHB I had at the GameDay was my first AD&D one and it was a 3rd printing, Jan '79.

I couldn't find a Gameday 6 Photo Gallery yet, so I'll post a few choice pics here until we get that under way.

The following photo was taken at the Rock-ola cafe at like 11:00 that night, so forgive us if we look a little bleary-eyed. From the left, we have: Die Kluge, Me, Cthulhu's Librarian, (A friend of NCSU Codemonkey's who I did not get to meet), NCSUCodemonkey, Rel, Templetroll, BelenUmeria, Riggs, and Alenda.

A picture of Henry is posted...

Oh my, Henry!!! Why aren't you using the Grenadier Official Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Miniatures, made of lead, and from the box with the yellow sides and the blue foam inside? What kind of First Edition game is this?!?!?

It is great to see you guys having fun with my favorite version of our favorite game. You make me wish I could have been there.

I'm sorry, but Diaglo didn't attend. Had he done so, I could have used the official minis, from the official box, provided background soundtracks via the "Morley the wizard" Radio Spots, and propped up pictures from the official D&D coloring book (circa 1984) to set atmosphere.

Heck, we probably could have worked the D&D beach towel in as a backdrop.

I was glad it went well, and that the group had good fun. If you're down this way from South Jersey in late April let us know...

The next NC gameday is April 23rd.

Diaglo is in SC. He needs to come to the gameday sometime.

I agree. And he should play lots of d20.

Either that, or I could run him in a game of HARP.
