Chicago Game Day planning thread planning thread

Is 6/26 set in stone? I would vote against going head-to-head with Origins.

I don't think anything is truly set in stone yet. I feel quite bad for our pbartender, so 6/26, Origins or not, sounds like a good choice to me. As far as I'm concerned, I don't care when it is, I don' thtink...

And let me formally announce that there will indeed be HOT GAME TABLE VERSUS GAME TABLE ACTION AT THE NEXT GAMEDAY!

Barendd and I are collaborating and co-DMing a fun little gameday tourney, for sure. Prizes you say? That's been discussed earlier in the thead!

Are you saying so because you won't be able to make it, or just out of general concern?

I don't know if CGD really goes "head-to-head" with Origins. And, heck, we need to give everyone who can't make it out to OH something to do that weekend.

I might be able to fill in a few gaps for you. Let me know how the compilation goes.

Will do. Thanks, Mark!

June is a busy month. If we go with one of the first 2 weekends, we go head-to-head with many graduations. The date isn't set in stone, but we ought to make a decision soon before our options are reduced by other events getting scheduled.

If Origins is the only reason to not go with the 26th, then I think it's not reason enough, IMHO.

:Buzz, busily compiling the email list before he has to head off to Easter Dinner.

I won't be able to make it - I have been trying to get to one of these things for a while. However, as I am obviously not a regular I understand catering to the needs of other regulars like Pbartender. Like Thalmin states - June is a busy month - oh well.

Not that this means anything to everyone else, but later-half June is far better then the first half of the month for myself and a few of the others that would be coming out with/along me. Again, that may not mean all too much, just throwing my vote out as a "GM of the Day".

I would agree with Buzz though that Origins is not enough reason not to do a CGPD. (I think CGPD is better then CGD simply because its "Chicago Games Plus Day" and Curt and Jeff (and GP staff) are great sports and are always here for us Chicago-land gamers.)

And yes, that was a double negitive.

I vote for June 26th. It will avoid conflicts with graduations and Father's Day. (We once had a Gameday around Valentine's Day. As I recall, attendance was sparse.)

I doubt I can create something new to run, however, I can serve as a backup GM and run something from a previous Gameday if we have a lot of walk-ins. (I volunteered to do so in the past. If we have a DM dropout, like we had last time, I am willing to fill in as well.) Additionally, I think we should try to let other gaming websites know about the Gameday -- we can attract some new people.

Looking forward to June.
