Chicago Gameday IX is Oct 23rd: THE AFTERMATH...

[Jaws]

Thanks for picking characters so quickly.

Quickbeam - sibeccai oathsworn
Joshua Dyal - human mageblade
William Ronald - human totem warrior (hawk)
Shadowlight - mojh runethane
Shadowlight (guest) - quickling faen winter witch
Halma - verrik akashic

I know it is possible that some people might not make it. We will deal with the changes then, if necessary.

The pre-generated characters that were left over:

litorian totem warrior (wolf)
giant unfettered


Peace and smiles

Joe

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.

I did not mean to imply that the game day should not be free or that the Prizes are not cool as they are.. more then cool! I was just throwing out this as an idea that might be fun.. but I apologize as it seems that it was taken the wrong way.. I did not want any one ot think that it was all about the prizes or that the ones we had were not fun and such.. it was just an idea is all
one that actually popped in to my head late last night and I thought that I would throw it on the board to see what everyones opinion was is all Please do not think that I wanted to turn this into something that it was not meant to be ok.. I to enjoy the game day for what it is and just threw out a thought to gage opinions

New prize duly added.

Okay, I figure the time is just about right for the banner ad to go up. One month away; one month of advertising.

Suggestions for sites on which to advertize? RPGHost? RPG.net? GamingReport.com?

Those sound good to me. Perhaps some of the companies who kindly donated prizes would be willing to host it or a Gameday link in return for a link on the Gameday homepage and Post#1 (in the prize support section)? Just a thought.

By the way, I contacted GOO about some prize support for the SAS d20 event. Unfortunately, I have yet to hear from them.

What sites did you advertise on last time?

Did we have anyone come over form other sites?

I believe that Mark got us a spot on the RPGHost network, our freebie here on ENWorld, and then I bought advertising on GamingReport.com. Honestly, I'm not sure how many people came because of the banner ad, but, iirc, the ads went up pretty late in the game. This time we'll have a full month of ads prior to Gameday.

I thik maybe I'll add a "How did you hear about Gameday?" box to the sign-up sheet.

still not 100% sure that i'm going, but so far so good. might bring the wife and/or child, but don't count on that (in fact, probably not). don't want to sign up for anything if i'm not sure i'll be there to fill the spot...

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.

i've already got two copies. if i won one, i'll give it charitably to someone else.
