[QUOTE="buzz, post: 1626431, member: 6777"] [b]The Big Thanks[/b] Now that I've had some time to decompress, spend some quality time with my family, and collect my thoughts, I'm gonna get my thank-yous on... [b]When You Assume, You Make An Ass Out Of U And Me[/b] First off, I'd like to once again apologize profusely to Reidzilla and the players who had signed up for his game --Bront, spacepirat2, and moquif-- for doing such an atrocious job of getting in touch with him to make sure he knew I'd re-added the [i]Darwin's World[/i] game at the last minute. :\ It was a bonehead move that I will never pull again. I cannot thank thalmin and Mark enough for getting a D&D Minis game together to accomodate them, as well as GORAK, Trev, and Barendd for absorbing the displaced into their events. In the next planning thread (some months away), I'll post some ideas for how to avoid situatons like these at future Gamedays. [b]Kudos, Kudos, Kudos...[/b] Thanks to [b]thalmin and the staff of Games Plus[/b] for hosting the event, keeping all the prizes in order, and generally serving the needs of the attendees. Every trip to GP is a joy; a trip to GP for a Gameday is simply one of the highlights of my year. Thanks to all of the GMs who offered up events, whether they happened or not: [b]Reidzilla, Barnedd Nobeard, Trevalon Moonlerion, Mark, GORAK, Pbartender, omokage, Kid Charlemange, thalmin, and KnowTheToe.[/b] Thanks to all my players in the d20 Dark*Matter game: [b]Pbartender, jalea, William Ronald, Baron Von Starblade, Kareyev, and rowport.[/b] Thanks to [b]omokage[/b] for GM'ing for me in the second slot, and to the other players: [b]Barendd Nobeard, socpsychguy, Pbartender, and CalicoDancer[/b]. [b]Oh, The Swag[/b] Thanks to all of the companies and individuals who donated prizes: [b]Wotc, BadAxe, Necromancer, MonkeyGod, Contested Ground, Bastion, RPGObjects, Expeditious Retreat, Khan's Press, Eden Studios, and to Reidzilla, William Ronald, GORAK, KnowTheToe, and anyone else that I'm forgetting.[/b] I didn't have high expectations for the prizes this time around, but it honestly was the best selection of stuff I've seen yet. [b]The Sappy Part[/b] Lastly, I just want to thank [b]everyone[/b] for participating, being friendly, and contributing to the overall fun of Gameday. I think it's inestimably cool that the ENWorld community isn't solely a virtual one, but one comprised of people who want to get together, share their geeky passions, make friends, and grab some swag while doing so. :) This is a huge part of what makes pen n' paper gaming one of my favorite things to do. I hope everybody had fun, and I hope to see all of you (and more!) at the next Gameday. Cheers, Buzz [/QUOTE]
