Chicago Gameday - 11/09/02 (now including the Castle Brawl photos link!)

Updated!

Welcome aboard, Eric!

I'm gonna change the thread title to make our final push for players. After this weekend, I think we should look at possibly consolidating a few games. We can always leave some games short a couple/few players (figuring there will be some people who do not sign up in advance), but people in games with no players (or just one/two player) might want to consider signing on to another game.

No harm/no foul for those that didn't get a huge response this time around; it happens. It's just a matter of offering as much as we can and letting folks gravity to what interests them. That is to say that I do not want to see anyone bemoaning a game that didn't happen to draw enough players this time. It's never a reflection on the game or the DM, just the passing phase of interests indicative of having a great many choices and not enough time to do absolutely everything we want to do.

Dire Straits/Paper Chase

I'd like to sign up for Slot 1, Game 7, "Dire Straits...". Has it been decided if we're using M&M or not?

In case games start getting consolidated, my second choice for the same slot would be Slot 1, Game 6, "Paper Chase."

Or we could always combine the two for some superheroic Cthulhu...

Heck yeah! There are, I think, 6 or so games I would love to play this saturday, as well as getting in some Heroclix and Clan War games. Too much fun stuff! I think a big part is that this is an ENworld event and most of our posters are DM's. How come I can't find players/DM's this good when Im trying to set up a new campaign?

If you have to cancell, don't take it too hard. Last time the same thing happened to me, i closed the game with only 2 players. It's not that we don't want to play in your game, its just there are so many! Try running the same thing next time, that way the people who couldn't get to yours have a shot next time. Even if they DID play it feel free to run again; I would give Trev's 'Of Sound Mind' game another go, that was a hell of a good time! Even better would be playing with Trev and having Piratecat run it <drool>

Updated!

buzz - Anything for slot two?

Roland - Well said. I think we'll roll through the weekend with the current schedule and see how many final call players sign up right away, then we'll check the tallies and do the consolidating.

Trevalon -- I'm easy, I'll take whatever's left. Drop me an e-mail at ericnoah@charter.net with details as I haven't read this thread and so if you've given details I haven't seen them.

Eridanis -- same thing as above.

 

[Trevalon Moonleirion]

Mark, I sent an email your way containing my character for your 2nd slot game, let me know on here or via email if everythings alright, or if anything needs to be changed.


To all of my players:

I'm VERY sorry that you don't have much information about what's going on during our game in the morning! The best way to describe me right now would just be to call me Susie Highschool...i'm in the fall play, band, choir, student government, thespian society, several AP classes...anyhow, all of those add up to not much time for D&D. Dont' fret though!!! The week prior to gameday, life will be calm at last and you'll know everything that you need to know

Mark - feel free to drop my Call of Cthulhu game if more people don't sign up over the weekend. While I don't mind running for a small group, I understand space is tight.

Later,
Matt

Trev - I received the Email and I'll check out the characters when I receive them all (should be soon.)

Matt - I got an Email from Joshua. I tied to reply, but it bounced. He may not be able to join us, as it turns out. Hopefully Kent (Barendd) will see this and comment also. What game would you be interested in joining as an alternative?

Mark, you'll get my character for your 2nd slot game tomarrow, I promise.

Expect him to be a 7th level Half-Elf Paladin named Ronium Valorous.

by the way, how many points do we get to accolate?

Thanks. It's a 28 point buy system for generation as per the DMG.
