I always have bad experience flying through Phoenix (which, of course, if where I flew through this trip). It seems like I might have to stop doing that.

Alright, some pics...

From left to right: Bill, A bunch of Leif's dice, our grilled porterhouse steaks (bone-in), Leif and Mowgli, myself, and Mike.

And some more pics...

From left to right: The steaks (prior to being cooked), Scotley and Chris, Scotley, Mowgli and Chris, J. Alexander, and the battlemat showing our desperate fight against a bunch of Tusked Terrors.

Great pics specially of the food Everyone survived and that's always a plus

A Tusk Terror is a 110 hp boar that jumps so well it might as well be flying, and has the Spring Attack feat. Our poor party was mauled by a group of them - they almost took us, but in the end we barbecued . . .

It also just dawned on me while looking at the pics just how cool it is to use beer bottle caps to represent your PC. We rock!

 

[HolyMan]

Long as you weren't the Bud Light cap LOL. Sounds like you guys needed a Tamor Hunter with you and someone to bring their minitures (not the little alcohol bottles.. although they would make kool character models.)

My PC was the Samuel Adams cap!

I don't know what a Tamor Hunter is. But the Tusked Terrors were definitely a tough fight. The only thing we had going for us was that they didn't actually do much damage when they hit...of course, they hit A LOT.

At least you bar-b-q'd them after. Seems like you had fun. Maybe LakeCon '10 or '11, if they happen, I'll be in a better position to go.

I didn't understand the Default Judgement (is that like bankruptcy?).

Nay. the Louier one 'splained it, so I shan't thrash a dead horse, other than to say that a default is what happens when you fail to respond to a lawsuit.

Did anyone else find the EnWorld news article about the WOTC copyright infringement lawsuits strange? The settlements were for $100k and $150k, but the requested default judgement was only about $46k.

Xedr reminded me that judges hate entering default judgements, but the amount was much less than the settlement amounts.

Is the lesson here that it's better to default than to settle with WOTC? That would be unusual to say to the least. What we don't know are the actions of the individual infringers. That is likely driving the amounts.

Still, even xedr knows that when you default a judge has little choice!

Thanks for reminding me that I need to charge my camera battery! I plan to take some pics. I've never been to Arkansas, but I hear its purty country.

I can't wait to see those pics! Hurry up, Rhun!

Off to the lake for the weekend. Back sometime Sunday!

And a glorious retreat it was! Now if only I had some friends that I actually LIKE to spend the weekends with....
