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

[William Ronald]

I think thalmin could use a volunteer or two to DM on October 16th. I have a paper to work on, so I can't make it.

Buzz, as you have to clean out your collection, maybe some of us can bring in some of our old stuff as part of a giveaway separate from the prizes. For example, I have some old 2nd Edition books I will never use but that someone might want to pick up. So, maybe a small table to give some old gaming materials a new home might be a good idea.

I am already donating some of my collection to the prizes; they're listed in the first post with the others. The rest I want to actually try and recoup some of the cost. That, or donate them to the local library to rope in some newbies.

I have no problem with people bringing older RPG material as prizes, or even to swap. Just remember, if no one claims what you bring, don't just leave it at the store for thalmin to deal with. The GP crew work hard enough to move their own product.

Unless thalmin wants the free donations...

FC, I will not be at the auction this weekend. If anything, my collection needs cleaning out, and my wallet needs life support.

i know what you mean.

hey, they are taking auction stuff till today/tonight. get some stuff and get on over there and get it in. that way you can get a GC for more game stuff!

Good news, folks! Paul Chapman, marketing director for Steve Jackson Games, emailed me to say that he sent some prizes. I have no idea what he sent, but it should be arriving at GP any day now.

No way I can get there tonight. Oh, well. I'll end up spending money on Gameday regardless.

Next auction will be the beginning of March. Just giving you plenty of warning, buzz.

thalmin,

Being a store owner, perhaps you can help answer my question here: http://www.enworld.org/forums/showthread.php?t=103028

Also, *BUMP*

See, I knew there would be something sooner or later, which is why I did not make a solid plan to come to gameday. My niece’s birthday just passed, and my sister decided to choose gameday weekend for the birthday party for some odd reason. well, here’s what it comes down to – if the party is the 24th, I’m cool and I’ll be at gameday. If the party is the 23rd… well, I do have to be a good uncle.


“As you may remember, Diana turned 2 on September 24, but since both of her parents work at the ballparks, it was impossible to schedule a party close to her birthday because we would either not be home until like 7pm or I would have to leave at 3pm and he would be gone all day. So now that the Sox and the Cubs (so sad) are out of playoff contention, and the regular season has come to a close (thank God-we are exhausted), we have decided to schedule a party for the October 23/24 weekend. We will be deciding on an exact date and time soon. We just wanted to give you as much advanced notice as possible…”

She's two. She won't even remember if you're there or not.

She will, however, remember puppy you give her. Her parents may never speak to you again, but you'll always be the favorite uncle!

 

[BOZ]

oh sure, she has no idea what a birthday even is - birthday parties for children that small are mostly for the parents to sit around and talk, but the children do (sometimes) like all the attention.

still, i am bound by honor and duty and all that crap to go if i am needed.

Now there's the advice of a man (with children) who is looking to get someone else in trouble. Why, you might ask. I believe it is primarily so that the chaos of his own life might pale in comparison to the poor sap he's misleading -- even if only for a short while !!

You are a bad man Mr. Nobeard.
