Chicago Gameday XIV: Aftermath...

[Trevalon Moonleirion]

Just to let you know Trevalon Moonleirion, I will be taking the Metra up to Games Plus and it arrives at 9:11 across the street so I will possibly be a few minutes behind.

That's it, your character is DEAD. I'm ripping up the sheet if you aren't at the table ON TIME.



Don't worry. We'll probably spend 15-20 minutes making sure I didn't screw any of the characters up, plus picking out spells any minor equipment that people feel they'll need.

Thats what I thought as well. If they are good enough to host the event I can at least wield a broom.

We'll see what thalmin says.

Help is welcome. Hopefully the place won't be too bad, but sometimes the friday night crowd plays late, so no time to clean up at night.

I volunteer Tracerbullet to help you, too...it'll be a nice 'circle of life' thing since he'll probably be able to do it the same time Sunday morning...which is just about the time his afternoon game will finish.


hehehehe....

Elton John would be so proud right now...I'll bet he's putting on his extra large glasses for that comment.

Oooooo...cool. WHo doesn't like those glasses?

BOOYAH!

See you at Gameday.

Ahh, yes. Both "boo" and also "yah" on seeing you at the gameday, my friend. Well put. Well put, indeed.

*edit* And here are some of the morning pics (warning: big pics), since I happen to have a break and Internet access . . .

Sweet! Mark, any objections if I add these to the Flickr collection I'm hoping to do for Gameday?

Help yourself, Buzzeroo Bonzai.


Thanks to Buzz and thalmin for their continued efforts in running the gamedays. Thanks, too, to JoeGKushner for putting us through the introductory Warhammer RPG adventure. Much fun! I also enjoyed a game of The Great Space Race. And a special thanks to Painfully and George at the Minis painting table. Great stuff and tips!

Woo!

Ah, another Gameday in the bank.

First off, thanks to our gracious hosts, Games Plus. We'd be gaming in the street if it weren't for you. Extra Double Secret thanks for donating the GenCon passes for our prize drawing.

Next, thanks to our volunteer GMs: FCWesel, JoeGKushner, Ninjacat, Painfully, Pbartender, Reidzilla, thalmin, TracerBullet42, and Trevalon Moonleirion.

Thanks to everyone who donated prizes. What we lacked in volume we made up for in eclecticism. I'm curous to see how many Gamedays it will take for that copy of Synnibar to get "donated" again.

Thanks to pvt. patterson and Willian Ronald for bringing such a delicious selection of pastries. Thanks as well to whomever brought the chips.

And, of course, thanks to everyone who attended. I hope you all had a good time.

So, the wrap-up...

We were, I think, competing with a lot of other demands on people's time this Gameday (Father's Day, Milwaukee Revel, summer in general), so attendance was a little low. Inoticed that, unfortunately, this meant that we had some open spots in games, and one of our afternoon games got merged with another. Nonetheless, everyone seemed ot be having fun. I just chalk it up to the nature of the summer Gameday.

Kudos to the players in my morning game: pbartender, pvt. patterson, and rvalle. Play went smoothly and the scenario worked well even one player short. Thanks for taking a chance on Burning Wheel!

Speaking of the morning session, everyone please congratulate Trevalon on having run what I believe is the Longest Morning Slot Game Ever.

And conrats to Holly (salmacis' guest) and FCWesel on winning the GenCon passes! Guess I'll see you there.

My afternoon game, Pbartender's "White Plume Mountian" was a hoot. Trevalon Moonleirion, Thorindale, William Ronald, waterdhavian, Yort, Pbartender: you RAWK. Reliving that classic module IH-style was, well... BOOYAH.

So... all-in-all, a very solid event. My feverd brian is already mulling over ideas for Gameday XV. The "V" stands for "value"!

Pictures to come...
