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

[reveal]

Aacckk! How could I forget?
Special thanks to Mark for running that deadly Fane of the Drow adventure for the super secret friday night out-of-towners game! And thank you Joshua Dyal and reveal for coming in early so we could play. I hope the trip was worthwnile for you both.

Quoted for truth.

And another Gameday goes down in the annals of Gamedaydom.

I want to thank everyone for attending, our excellent GM volunteers for running great games, and thalmin and his crew at Games Plus for hosting yet again. And WOW did we have a lot of swag on prize table. A special thanks to everyone who donated prizes, and to Sqwonk for contributing the mini-jar contest. As thalmin pointed out to me yet again, there were a lot of people still gaming away as the clock inched towards ten pm.

Booyah.

I defintely want to thank Nikmal for the minis seminar. With his and Painfully's help, I now have my first-ever mini that I painted "for real". I use the mini for one of the longest-running characters I've ever had, so being able to paint it competently meant a lot. Thanks, guys! I actually feel confident in painting more minis now.

And, of course, thanks to FCWesel, Trev, reveal, Digital M@, thalmin, and Ninjacat for ruining... I mean, making my Harry Potter game so special. I'm really glad that, if not true to the books, it was at least boisterous RPG fun for everyone. I was sore from all the laughing.

As for a story hour... I don't think I'd want to risk the lawsuit, or the jail time.

Thanks everyone!

Thanks to everyone for everything. This was my first time I ever did anything like this (fly x miles to game with a group of people I only knew online) and it was an absolute blast. It was literally the best time I've ever had in my entire life.

I'm still astounded that someone flew out for Gameday. I'm glad your trip was worth it. Come back any time...

Please please please but up a zip file of the characters and story line on the thread, they were really well done.

Here you go. All files are RTF, though the character sheets may look better in Word.

FC better post his dang whimsy cards, too.

Thanks to my players for tolerating my game that ran on for ever and ever, extra apologies to Joshua Dyal who had a loooong drive home. (Oh, and I don't see the commercials on the Six Flags website anymore, but you can still the little man there, if you feel so inclined. link)

I pulled up in my driveway at 4 AM local time. But I did pull up in my driveway. I don't regret staying and finishing the IK game; it was tons of fun. And my foppish and arrogant pistol-dueling star of the show was a fun character.

Sorry you didn't lose more sanity in my Cthulhu game, Trev. Wasn't getting blown up by C-4--twice--, while catatonic from sanity loss good enough? Next time I run Cthulhu, instead of making it more Delta Greenish, I'll make it a bit more traditional. You can start losing sanity early on in looking at old musty books in the library.

Only if you provide me with an electronic device of undetermined origin.

Poor, poor BUZZ. Poor, poor BUZZ.

If only he had had a E.D.U.N. (Electronic Device of Undetermined Nature.)

"If only" is correct, as I own no such thing.

(As far as you know.)

I'm telling you, I don't own one. Really!

You really should change your avatar. I'm not going to be able to look at it without laughing.

From talking with a few people over dinner after the Gameday, perhaps buzz should have included a recording of the Talking Heads song "Making Plans for Nigel" during the game.
