Chicago Gameday XII is over... share the memories!

I agree. And a "flippin'" brilliant idea? What the heck? His imposter learned his slang vocabulary from watching Napolean Dynamite apparently.

Does this mean that buzz or his imposter will be forced to run a D20 Modern or Horror game called "Vote for Pedro -- Again!"

I think the "Guess how many things are in the jar and you win something!" prize is an original idea and should be presented to allow even non-registered walk-in's the chance to win something. Even a few prize events open to non-registered walk-in's would be a good idea as it increases the chances they will be back next Gameday as registered members when they see for themselves the better prize drawings available only to members.

I recently joined a newly formed Chicago D&D Club that meets at a moose lodge in Berwyn on Sundays.

There are about a dozen players thus far so I will print out page one of this thread and pass it around at this Sunday's game. Hopefully, some of them will make it to Gameday then.

Good idea? Did you get any response from anyone in the Aurora or Wheaton D&D Meetup groups?

I do like the "How Many Minis In A Jar" idea, and we can make sure that all our walk-ins will participate. Also, for those who are going to run a game for the D&D Worldwide Game Day on Nov. 5th, please mention our Gameday.

Is there an Aurora/Wheaton Meetup group? Where can I find this list? Thanks.

The organizer for the Aurora Meetup has already rescheduled her group to meet at Gameday XII. I did notify the Wheaton organizer and am hoping he will do the same. I will announce Gameday XII to the Berwyn group when we play again this Sunday. He is looking for new people to join the moose lodge anyway so he should be up to it after talking to the head moose, Bullwinkle.
I think we should run a couple prize drawings open to walk-in's in an effort for them to register with EN World.

GORAK, you might want to ask the organizers for the Aurora and Wheaton meetups to have their members visit this thread to preregister for events. Games Plus is a great place but space is somewhat limited.

Maybe we could have a quick drawing in the morning for walk-ins or perhaps someone can have a give away? Something small, but meant as a thank you for attending the Gameday? Or possibly we could direct our members to a few sites that could offer free downloads of a few PDFs?

What, a man can't enjoy Napoleon Dynamite and add some of the hip lingo to his vocabulary?

Everyone feel better now?

Welcome back, Buzz...if that is your real name...

Technically, anyone who signs in and is present when we do the drawing can win a prize. (I don't advertise this becasue I don't want people showing up just to grab free swag and then leave.) I just try to make sure that people who bothered to sign up get first crack. We usually have enough prizes that everyone present walks away with at least one prize, if not two.

One would also think that being able to walk in and get in on the way-sweet games our GMs run, at no cost, is sort of a prize in itself.

This is a flippin' brilliant idea. Can you provide the box and slips of paper for entries as well?

I'll make sure to announce it at the beginning of the morning session and at the lunch break, and then we can announce the winner before the prize drawing.

Neato!

I will bring the box and guess slips. If we want to open this to all walkin folks- I should have them list their name rather than their ENWorld handle - right?

BTW 42 is no-where near correct,

I'm not sure if y'all have to make reservations, but I'll be at the breakfast as well.
