Chicago Gameday - The Aftermath

[TracerBullet42]

Well, this was my first game day, and my first time playing in a game outside of my regular group. So I really had no idea what to expect.

I must say that I was very pleased.

First of all, great place to game. Nice, big tables with plenty 'o space for papers, binders, snacks, beverages, dice, with room to spare for a battle mat. (An ENORMOUS mat in my second slot game...) Oh, and that's not even to mention the fact that on the other side of the swinging door lies the best games store I've seen to date. So if you had a spare minute or two, great to browse around and pick up some goodies.

Thalmin, buddy, thanks for teaching me the D&D minis in the first slot. It was very cool and I loved your themed warbands. Them halflings are pretty tough! And I'm sure you're looking for input about your elemental twist on the game. I thought it helped make things interesting, as it gave an additional task and way to win the game. Over on the other side of the table with the elves, drow, and men the elemental twist allowed for some last second drow heroics and was quite exciting to watch. Especially since the elves lost...stupid elves. (No offense, Ejja.) Again, Thalmin, thanks.

Then came lunch. Well, what can I say about lunch? I like food. So lunch was good. Even though I hobbled four blocks on crutches for it. Best bacon cheeseburger down at "Mrs. P and Me's". I encourage you to check it out when you're in the area...

In the second slot, I had the pleasure to play in Trev's "The Shattered Circle". I'd like to apologize to Trev for our group's disfunctional ways. We really had trouble staying on track. But I'm pretty sure we all had a lot of fun. And I think we had the youngest gamer I've ever seen at the table. I believe his name was Alex and I think he was only 10 years old, right? (Good to get 'em started young.) So thanks, Trev. I hope we didn't disappoint too much, and I hope you had fun with it too!

Oh, and I'm still waiting for my underground mule...

I think my favorite facet of the game day is you folks. It was a lot of fun to meet some new people and just goof around and game. I look forward to it again next time.

Thanks, all!

Non Taken, though im a bit confused as to why you and floyd have such a problem with elves but not drow elves. I mean if you gonna discriminate against a race, shouldnt you discriminate against them all dark or light skinned. I mean cmon, shouldnt you be an equal opportunity racist?
( no offense meant to anyone, all in good humor.)

hehehe..the key is to be racist against everything...

And since you mentioned it...fine, I'll pick on the drow too.

It's all just in good fun and elves make for a nice target, what with their narcissistic ways...

And Trev...still waiting for the underground mule...

Well that's not smart, making enemies of all races of Elf. Next Gameday, Ejja and I will want to have a "word or two" with you, Tracer...

Ahhh, yes...in the words of the immortal Ash..."Come get some."

I welcome the challenge...

Just wish the next gameday was sooner. It was fun!

And Trev...still waiting for that underground mule. (I think I'll end every post I make in this thread that way until and underground mule is produced.)

That would be pretty damn cool

A fatal fourway with the bands Thalmin made, no special rules for victory just limitless slaughter. Im up for that and more, heck maybe even throw in a special "prize" to make it interesting. Say everyone involved buys a booster, harbinger or dragoneye or whatever. Winner takes all four boosters, thats a hell of a prize and the losers are only out like what maybe 12.00 with tax?
Sounds like one slot locked for next game day.
Or we could all buy a booster when we get there, open em up and duke it out with whatever is in the booster.
Thalmin I think you may have gotten some more people hooked on this mini thing, you shameless pusher you.

That's Thalmin, the conniving game store owner.

He is a sneaky--yet thoroughly charming--little devil isn't he. That conniving bastard is concerned with nothing but increased sales. No wonder we come back....

Thalmin, I'm glad your store is very far away from me. I'd be spending a lot of time and money in there otherwise. I'm very sorry I missed out on the minis fun too...though really, my second slot players wouldn't have had much fun without me converting stuff. Though really, you hardly encountered anything that I worked on furiously that morning to convert....bastards!

We aim to please!

Yes, while gaming in the first slot we all planned on the best way to annoy our dm. It seems to have gone off without a hitch,I think were ready for Clover now guys!
