Chicago Drivers! Ride needed!

Hey Chicago based driving types that are going to Gameday! My ride out to Mt. Prospect has fallen through. Does anyone have an extra spot in their car?

Megan, if Metra works for you, you can take the UP-NW line from Ogilvie or another downtown station on the line to Mt. Prospect. The station is right next to Games Plus. 7:30 a.m. train from Ogilvie will get you to GP by 8:11 a.m. There are 8:37 p.m. and 9:37 p.m. trains when it's time to go home. Just an idea.

Update! Tables have been assigned. Take a look at the event schedule on Warhorn to see which table was assigned to your event. Let me know if you have any issues with the table you've been given, and I'll see what can be done.

Just a few more days!

I just saw that my table assignments have been shifted from Table E to Table A (Earthdawn). While this isn't a problem with the current amount of registered players, I have some verbal "maybes" from people I do expect to show up from an RPG meetup I attended yesterday (mostly for the afternoon session). I guess I just want to make the deputies aware that I may want/need a table bigger than A in anticipation of a few walk-ins. I assume we can shuffle things around if need be based on actual attendance?

Well -- Fading Suns is currently at one player. Hoping to get a walk up / extra people? If not, I'm a bit worried about running a good game.

Still, I'll be there with game ready to go. Guess I need to yell at the marketing team to get more Fading Suns info out there.

There's a strong chance Laurie won't be there tomorrow. We're on day three of a very sick 9 year old crying nearly constantly for mommy.

My aches and pains would appreciate Earthdawn not being at a tall table.

Absolutely. If need be, we can move you to Table I, which is the other big minis table, and then leave A for the store.

It's not uncommon for us to get walk-ins. Also, if you're part of any Fading Suns communities on Google+ or Facebook or the like, feel free to pimp your event!

Worst-case scenario, we can get you and your player into another event.

Dang! Seems like everyone has been sick these last few weeks (myself included). Here's hoping you guys make it and your kid feels better.

Woohoo! Another Gameday for the books.

According to Warhorn, we had 45 attendees; by my own count, it was 47. However, I don't think many of the players at the Dawn Patrol table signed in, so I'm guessing the real count was probably just north of 50. Which is fantastic! That's the largest Gameday we've had since Gameday 36 back in October of 2013, and that one was a potential record-breaker.

Plus, I saw a lot of new faces this time around, something that always makes me happy! MORE BLOOD FOR THE GAMEDAY GOD!

Here are the photos I took yesterday. I regret that I was so wrapped up in my afternoon event, that I didn't get any shots of the other events. If anyone has some they'd like to share, please feel free.

I want to thank Games Plus for hosting our little event, to thank all of our volunteer GMs for providing us with events, and to everyone who attended. I hope you all had fun, and I hope to see you at the Gameday 41.

Speaking of which: Gameday 41 will be happening on July 11th. Mark your calendars!
