Chicago Gameday X: the awesome aftermath

[AelyaShade]

thalmin, KnowTheToe, rowport, AelyaShade, and Yort... if it's the last thing I do, I'll make sure I see you all hang from the highest yardarm in Her Majesty's Navy. And I mean that in a good way.

God Save the Foundation!

What a great Gameday! My thanks to those who made it possible...thalmin, buzz, GM's, paint masters, and participants. I can't wait for the next one!

Big hug to Pbartender for a lovely trek to the Lost Temple of Ixtapolapocoetl, as well as my fellow adventurers. I wear my scar from the nasty beast of endless tentacles with pride!

And you missd out on your prizes. We kept calling your name, but no BOZ.

Good stuff!

Woke up too late to do the breakfast thing. At this point I wonder why I keep signing up for it. I'm always late!

I grabbed some books from the Ennies last year, Age of Mortals and good old Exalted Sidereals and dropped them off for prizes. In my corner for painting, I brought a nice paint palette, my rinsewell, which got a few questions asked of it, and a tool box packed with numerous paints. The bad thing is that it was still too small to hold all of 'em!

I managed to finish six Warlord Skeletal Breakers, and almost finish off about four other miniatures, this not counting the various articles and other goods we got on CD.

How about Curt? Did he do anythign with his convered Ranger? He seemed to be pausing and considering the possibilites while looking at Mark's paints with a certain eye of... doubt?

Heck, I got to see Mark working on his Copper Dragon the whole time. I wonder how that one turned out... he mentioned that he might have a special use for it at that particular day.

I know that some paints and brushes got sold that day as the people who were coming in for the Afternoon paint session had lots of questions and needed some supplies and didn't seem afraid to spend money.


For prizes, I won Fudge (which I'm giving to one of my friends who collects game systems but is even poorer than me) and a Hero system book for Champions, one of the setting city books. Looks good so far.

Thanks for another great game day!

He did: totally scaring the @#$! out of us. Thankfully we only had to fight a few of its half-breed offspring.

Great GameDay!

WOW! Great people, great games, great store, and great swag. (Even the sub at lunch was pretty darn good.) This was my favorite GameDay so far. Thanks especially to Matt & Mark- both of your games were fantastic fun- and to Curt & Jeff, our illustrious hosts. And, to Buzz who organized the whole shebang. Thanks, everybody! See you next time!

To Matt's players: Of course, as soon as the Lieutenant blew off the head of the giant stalking statue, I stabbed him in the back and appointed myself Captain Coxswain. Yarrr!

To Mark's players: I am secure in my loving relationship with my wolf.

Hey Jon,
I have a question for ya on the the cd articles you gave us at the seminar. I loaded the disk, went to the site for the first article, hit print. When it printed, I noticed that I am missing a porion on the right side of the article. Is there a way to print these in whole? I would like to build a little folder so I can always go back and refresh myself and printing them in whole would be a great way to do this. Can you help me out?

Arquin Xea,
The are probably in frames. Usually you can right click in the frame you want to print and hit print there. That should print only the frame. Otherwise you can copy the area you want to print into a word processor and print from there.

That's what I get for showing up with too little sleep. I couldn't even see straight. But I still had a great time.
Matt, I thoroughly enjoyed your game. You even brought eye patches and pirate hats!!! (Or were they hats of d02?)
Thank you to all the GMs for your efforts. Thank you everyone for coming out. It is so wonderful to see many of you again, and great to meet so many new faces.
Buzz, fantastic job. (My apologies to the lieutenant. I didn't mean to blow up one of your cannons. )

Should we try this again in about 4 months?

Thanks to everyone for a great day.

Since this is my first EN gameday I have nothing to compare it to but GenCon. I had more fun than any GenCon I have been to. I think it might be due in part to almost everyone being from the general area.
I met a lot of new people and was happy to meet them. I know feel a part of this community and am glad to have made some new friends (hope that doesn't offend any one hehe ).

Thanks to FCWesel for providing me with 2 great games. I got to blow up a tower, witness 4 pukes and 2 jimmykicks in the same game, shoot another player, light up a smoke with a fellow geek-at-arms when we thought it we were dead with the building blowing up arround us. Man I hate waiting for elevators when the building is blowing up. And last but not least the geeks did more bad guy killing than all the fighter tipes put together.

Thanks also to the other players I played with for providiog a fun and humorus time. I hope to get to know all of you better as game days go on.

I also have picked up some great playing and DMing tips from all those involved.


Thanks again

Thanks to FCWesel for providing me with 2 great games.

No problem at all, mi amigo. Glad to have found a person who could RPG a "techie." (Hope you didn't feel type-casted. Remind me next game day to make sure you don't get pigeonholed.
