Chicago Gameday: Read about what you missed

[rowport]

Thanks for another great GameDay! It was wonderful to see everybody again. As always, Thalmin is the consumate host. Unfortunately, I had to run out for the afternoon, so my swag-purchasing time was limited (I grabbed a copy of Ebberon, of course..!) but that just means I must plan another trip back soon!

Thanks to Buzz for organizing the event, and for a fun d20 Modern/Dark*Matter game. Buzz's excellent preparation of the detailed pre-gen PCs created inner-party tension before we even met each other! And, Doc, thanks for patching me up even though you are a wussy peace-lover. Next time, Chow, we kill all the witnesses.

See you all in a few months at... CHICAGO GAME DAY IX! (Pay-per-view only.)

Since it has been said many times and many ways...Thanks Everybody!!!!!!

That said, I think we should at least set the date for the next Gameday before closing this thread. That way we can use the exposure that this thread already has to help the next gameday have an increased body count...err…attendance.

Once set, it can go on the Gameday website. Also, I think the list of prizes should go up on the website along with all of the prize support thank yous as quotes. I believe that this will help generate more interest in the next Gameday and help to increase prize support. Nothing helps prize support calls like: "well last time you sent..."; "you know, even (insert company name) sent us to of their newly released hard covers..."; or "here is the list of prize contributors from the last Gameday and they got alot of exposure all over the EnWorld community site, would you like to contribute a few books to the next Gameday?".

I'm guessing the next Gameday should happen in October. September would be too soon, and November would be too close to the February Gameday.

The 16th or 23rd would work. Oct 2nd is National Learn to Play D&D Day, or something like that, some promo from WotC to reach out to new, young players. The 9th is our Fall Auction. Of course, the 30th is Halloween weekend.

Seeing as ENWorld's thread subscription table seems to have gotten hosed, I'll send an email to the gameday list and ask people to stop by and state a preference.

The 16th is a nice, round number, but 23 has numerological significance. A tough choice!

10/16 works great! 10/23 does not!

The 23rd it is!



Just kiddin' folks...

Personally, I currently have the 2nd, the 9th and the 16th of October free, and I'm scheduled to work on the 23rd and 30th.

I guess that makes my vote for the 16th.

I have no preference. Either is fine with me.

Then the 16th for me. We need....Pbartender...there, my.......friends!
