AH, a mistake. Each of his ranged attacks should be +1 more. Forgot to figure weapon focus

Just wanted to say had a great time.
I was impressed by the generosity of Fiery Dragon, Green Ronin, Paradigm, and other companies and hope others take part in the giving as the over 40 people there and many were exposed to new stuff for the first time by different companies. Good publicity.
Heck, I even managed to finish off part 3 of Serpent in the Fold. Thought that the manor chase was a little long mind you but otherwise it went smooth.

Dang!
Dang it, Joe! I was sure I'd be the first one to post after game day. That'll teach me to spend quality time with my wife when I get home.
I had a great time, even if I did have to leave after the prize drawing. This was my first con-type-thing, and I am definitely going to attend future Game Days. Maybe I'll even run something...
Thanks to:
Matty Helms for running a great Cthulhu game. Now that I know who you are, I'll be sure not to argue with you on RPG.net anymore.
Troy, Joshua, Matt, Tim, and Mike for participating in the game. Hope your D20 Modern game went well.
The guys who played Zombies with me and Helms between slots.
Mark, for being one of the prime movers behind the event (and letting me throw lots of zombies at you), and Games Plus for hosting.
Bad Axe Games, Atlas Games, and Pinnacle (and Eric Noah!) for contributing the prizes that I got to take home.
Booyah!

Man, I've wasted all this evening trying to not be sick and being with my family when I could've been posting first!!!!
First off, thanks to Mark for putting another big Game Day. As my little RPG.net Game Day will attest to, his efforts in supporting local gaming are an inspiration to me.
Thanks to Curt and everyone and Games Plus for hosting it and keeping us all of the streets for a while. And thanks for the donuts, Curt!!
Thanks to buzz for not punching me in the face and actually being a great guy and I can't remember what we ever fought about in the first place!
Thanks to buzz, Troy, Joshua (J-DAWG!!!!), Matt, Tim, and Mike for all playing in my little Call of Cthulhu session. PC Body count: One death by rabid swarm of rats, one near-death from an unsuccessful leap off a pile of crates, one 90-hour catatonic stupor from flipping through a book, several gun shot wounds (since most janitors in my games DO pack heat), and one fainting. Remember kids - if the first person misses the tackle when jumping down two flights of concrete stairs, the next guy might succeed!!!
Thanks to everyone who played Zombies!!! - we may have to set aside more time for it next time to make sure Mark doesn't win again
Thanks to Sovereign Press and Mayfair Games for the incredible load of swag I walked away with! Actually, big thanks to all the companies for providing so much that no one walked away empty handed.
Hope to see all of you at the next Game Day!
Later,
Matt
EDIT - I did some checking and buzz and I never actually fought - I had him confused with some other people in the same fight. All's well that ends well.

What a fun-filled day! The drive down and back wasn't as bad or as long as I recall it being (2 hours each way). The morning session was a treat as Trevalon ran our group through the first part of "Moonligh Madness" which had a couple of interesting combats that differed from the norm (one in which our goal was to rescue someone who was being attacked by townsfolk while not necessarily dishing out lethal damage, and another one that involved a wagon pulled by spooked horses hurtling toward the edge of a precipice) and some good roleplaying. Plus I don't recall Fayredeth even ONCE saying "I SHALL SMITE THEE" -- though I'm not sure that's a good thing.
I had lunch with Curt of Games Plus and then Trev helped me haul my big box o' stuff to the shop. There was LOTS O' SWAG this time, and not just "old leftovers" from me -- lots of publishers and even an artist donated stuff, and every single person walked away with some loot. I was so gratified to see all of the stuff I brought disappear.
Afternoon/evening session was just some great old school dungeon stomping, complete with trick/trap rooms, a magic key to open a magic door, reverse gravity areas, and the total anihilation of one of the party members toward the end. Eridanis juggled our rather ornery group well, and I think we're all looking forward to seeing how we "scored" in this 1st Edition tournament module (I think we might have lost some points for a little something called TEAMWORK, but what the heck, we FOUND THE MAGIC GEM and that's all that matters, right?)
Mark, thanks as always for a masterful job of organizing, and Curt thanks again to you and your crew for hosting -- only a few short months until the next one. Hmmm.... should I run something??

Woah, that was cool. 
Thanks to Sebastian for taking in our Star Wars game. I've never played a superheroes game before, but I had a good time (even though I was the kid-sidekick
)
And Mark, I'm incredibly sorry for having to leave the adventure early. Not because I know I was intregal (all I did was screw things up for everyone), but because it was a damn good adventure. I'm so *pissed* I had to leave. I HAVE to know what was going with all the copper man!! And thanks for buming me smokes.
Paul Mandigo - thanks again for the smokes. I only came with two for the day becuase I'm quitting, but I couldn't control myself today.
ejja_1 - when you move out to Lake in the Hills, we should get together for a game or two. I don't have a group, and you're DAMN good at role-playing.
Thalmin - thanks for the good time!
And thanks to all else to chatted with me. You're good people!
EDIT: SEE YA IN FEBRUARY!!!!1
