More detailed thanks may yet come, as I'm pretty close to passing out right now.
Big shout out to thalmin, GORAK, omokage, and AelyaShade for taking HERO for a test drive in my Littleton game. I had a lot of fun, and I hope you all did, too.
Ludos to Halma, Tomoloc, Jaws, William Ronald, Quickbeam, and omokage for helping stage the ultimate lightning rail heist! Thanks for runing, Halma! P.S., Quickbeam: after you left, the Face managed to use her wand of Knock to open the safe and get The Item. She then jumped off the train and left all of you in the lurch. That's Neutral Evil for you!
Rest assured, Halma said that she meets a nasty end when our employer gets his hands on her.
Wooo! Another successful Gameday! Thanks to the Games Plus Posse for hosting! Thanks to the GMs for running events! Thanks to all of you for showing up!
Feel free to also thank the companies for which you won prizes. Submit a review here on ENWorld, too!

Thanks to everyone, especially buzz, our organizer extraordinaire; thalmin, our fantastic host, and all the DMs & players.
I played in two games run by FCWesel. All I can say is, "Wow. You MUST play in this man's games." That is the most fun I have ever had at a gameday, and one of the most fun gaming days I have ever had. A few quotations from his games:
(from "Battle Squadron Wolveshead"):
"Because you don't have eyes."
"Finish her!" "No!" "She's not Finnish, she's Swedish."
"As he 'natural 20's you in the gonads."
"I'm going to procrastinate this time."
(from the "Buffy/Angel" game):
"Undead monkey head butt."
"There's probably a missing nose penalty involved."
Oh, and one more quotation from the Buffy/Angel game: "Cubs 2, Visitors 1."

Yeah, just as soon as Simon gets another promotion! "That's Captain Nerd to you!"TracerBullet42 said:
Hey, I only used about 28 of those in one day. All very well spent, especially the one to hide incriminating items in the minivan belonging to the mother of monkeycheese42's character.TracerBullet42 said:

Wow. Seriously. Thanks for the compliment Kent, it actually means a lot that everyone had a good time...especially those folks that don't live 5 minutes away from G.P. like I do--I am glad I could make the road trip out worth it.
(To the rest of the folks playing thier games, sorry if we...okay, *I*...got too loud.)
Who knows what fun might be in store for Feb's Game Day...I am sure that in no way will it involve "living challenged miniature primates"...
Hey, is it to early to call dibs on the side-room?

Cubs beat Lions...huh?
Totally agree with Barendd Nobeard, FCWesel ran one of the funnest games I've been in. The action was fast and funny in the Angel/Buffy game, but never got out of control or too silly. Not an easy task with undead monkeys, a lost nose, a funky smelling van and a chain smoking magic user tossed into the mix.
And to think, in the morning session I was thinking "Why is that man hopping about in the side game room?"
Some of my favorite quotes from the game:
"I meant to do thaaattt...."
"Is it a healing explosion of blue light?"
"Can I take his body when he dies?"
"You're not very good at this, are you?"

Well, let's see... I started off the day by continuing to miss the breakfast slot, although I showed up after everyone had left and enjoyed some blueberry french toast.
Then went over to Games Plus. I just started on Warhammer 40K so decided I liked the Eldar. I've already got some miniatures, but discovered that the core book doesn't have a lot of Eldar stuff in it, so bought the two Eldar Codex books (Eldar and Craftworld), as well as a miniature or two and a card game, Once Upon A Time I think.
Next up, the painting. The original figure wasn't in stock, but we got this nifty little dude who looks like a Van Helsing/Solomon Kane wannabe. It was fun painting with the two Johns and KnowtheToe. Learned some useful tricks in terms of glazing. However, learned also that I don't know if I have the actual patience to put into it. The results are fantastic, the time it takes is too much. I'm tempted to stick with simple drybrushing and inking for most of the figures and use this for certain villain and heroes and that's that.
There was a lot of great snacks at the place too. One of 'em was some cake with more blueberry goodness. The Oberwieis milk was also a nice touch, as were the creme stuffed donuts that threatened to explode when you ate them.
For prizes, man, there were a lot of 'em. I managed to snag myself a game of Car Wars, the card game. I find that as I get older, I enjoy gaming less due to jerks and time constraints, and card games, board games, and miniature games, more.
Thumbs up from me.
Now when's the next one?

I had a great time, and thanks again ot everyone who helped make this Gameday a reality.
Jaws and Halma did great jobs as gamemasters, as I shifted gears from Arcana Unearthed to Eberron, going from a grim character to a positively dark one. (Buzz, you should be glad that it was the employer and not the dwarven cleric who got his hands on the bard.)
A big thank you to the companies and individuals that provided prizes to the Gameday.
It was good seeing many of my fellow EN Worlders again, and meeting some for the first time. Looking forward to the next Gameday.
