[thalmin]

Thanks, Suzi. Sorry you can't make it. You will be missed. Good luck on your move. Is it to do research for Monster Geographica: Mountains? You take your business serious!

Hope to see you again sometime.

More news on prizes

Got this in an e-mail today:

I just sent off a package for Chicago gameday today. I hope everyone likes the prizes. Good luck with the game. Let me know how it goes (seriously).

Monte

Peace and smiles

I was wondering if anyone would like to put in money for a prize one that is killer! The Worlds largest Dungeon.. if we can get enough donations to buy this it would make for a nice prize! I am in and would be willing to put up 5 to 10 bucks for a donation to get this prize!
anyone else?
I think that we should make this a tradition for future Game Days as well I know that we are going to donate books and such form our own collections and I am announcing I will donate the CoC D20 book for a prize too! But lets make one special prize as well one that we all have a part of... donate some money heck if we all do it will not cost all that much for each of us!! (the cost of the book BTW is 100
the more that participates the less the cost for each of us!
what do you think?

Buzz,

Sign me up for Jaws's AU game in the moring. And I will try to make breakfast this time... it will just mean that I have to get up around 6:30 ish to make it.. "Aurora Livin"

Thanks man!! You are doing a great job with this Buzz!

OH yeah... Any of the Detroit people or out of town-ers coming need a place to stay? I have an extra bed, actually two futon mattresses, no actual futon, and two couches. It is in Aurora though so it does take some time to get to Games plus…. Just thought I would offer.

I too will offer.. I live in Gurnee but I am MORE then willing to payu the expense of driving out to Mt Prospect and back and the toll.. it takes about a half hour to get to the game store so it is not that big a deal.. if you need a place to stay please let me know via email.
my name is Jon my email is enygma@comcast.net

thanks, but not i.

i think stuff like this should really be avoided for game day.

IF there HAD TO BE a "drawing" for something, and people paid for a chance at it, i would rather see a gift certificate then anything else. at least that way someone could get something they wanted.

It was an idea is all and I more then understand if it does not go over very well. I just thought that it might be fun and something new.. if no one participates I more then understand and will not quibble about it, if no one thinks it is fun.. then quash the idea... after all Game Day is supposed to be all about fun If it does go over I would have no problem it being a gift certificate as that is a great idea as well!

Buzz, Joe and I aren't going to be able to make it this time around. It's too close to our moving date.

Sorry to hear that, Suzi. Joe cought me in another thread and I've taken his email off the Gameday mailing list.

But we'll pony up 2 copies of Monster Geographica: Underground for door prizes. If it's alright with Curt, we'll send them to the store directly.

You rawk! Thanks.

Have fun all and if you're in Shimla, we'll throw one hell of a Game Day: Himalayas.

Okay, but I might not make in time for the breakfast slot...

FYI, I've updated the prize listing. I'm donating copies of Occult Lore, Dark Inheritance, and copies of Dragon, Dungeon, and Undefeated.

It's not a bad idea, but I think that so many people involved with Gameday already donate so much time, effort, and even money, that asking for attendees to chip in money, even for a cool prize, is asking too much. Gameday should be free. If this means that the prizes aren't always the snazziest, I'm okay with that. I'd like to think that people don't come just for the prizes.

 

[Desdichado]

I certainly don't. For what it's worth, for the Detroit gameday, we made a conscious decision not to worry about prizes; it's an awful lot of added workload for the organizers.
