[QUOTE="Eridanis, post: 236720, member: 275"] The Gameday really was a whole lot of fun. I can't imagine a smoother-run event, especially since there were about 45 people there at various times during the day. At the end of the night, thalmin/Curt asked what he could do to make it better, and I really couldn't think of anything (and trust me, I would have spoken up if there was). In turn, I asked him waht we as players could do to make things easier for him, and he really couldn't think of anything, either. Sounds like a successful event to me. The freebies from Kenzer and Bad Axe were a great extra for the day, too. Kid Charlemagne brought Krispy Cremes for those of us who didn't make the group breakfast. This is a reflection of the laid-back, fun atmosphere we got to enjoy. (I got to meet Eric for the first time, too, which was neat - have you ever thought about what an interesting Internet success story this whole website is? And it's all Eric's fault!) I know I enjoyed the games I participated in, and from what I overheard, most of the other games went well, too. I was in the Slot 1 OF SOUND MIND game run by Trevalon, which was neat since the writer was on the other side of the room making his players bark in the Marvel Supers game (Trev's face when PirateCat walked in was priceless - I think he was freaked at the prospect of him looking over his shoulder during the game :). And in case anyone had any doubts, PirateCat is the consummate gamemaster - possessing total command of the rules, effective explaination of the game rules to those of us who had never used the Feng Shui system (which was six of the seven of us), perfect pacing of the game, good voice acting when necessary, and good humor through the whole game. And his scenario was imaginative as you might imagine (first words: "You'er in freefall. Moments ago, you were on a plane on its way to San Francisco..."). I also took some photos that I will develop (sorry to those of you who are still blinking form the flash), and perhaps Mark can post them at his site, since I am currently bereft of web hosting space. Again, thanks to the organizers, the GMs, and the players, too! I'm looking forward to next time. [/QUOTE]
