Thanks to thalmin (Curt) an Buzz for hosting and organizing this event! It was a fun day, the burgeoning Spring weather making travel and breaks an easy thing to handle and great games providing a foundation for a perfect gameday. Thanks to all of my players for joining in the miniatures gaing with such gusto and enthusiasm! Here's a link to some pics from the day, including shots from both slots -

As usual, a fantastic time! Thanks to the Games Plus crew and Buzz for pulling off anothr great Gameday.
Breakfast game: Thanks for playing! It was neat to play a quick game before the real fun started. If you have any comments on the game, including suggestions on how to improve it, please send me an email wjmacguffin (at) gmail (dot) com.
Greyrock 4E game: Thanks to Tony for running the game. I'm sure I'll get used to all those cards eventually.
PARANOIA: Thanks to everyone for playing. I'd like to collect some of your favorite parts/recollections and post an Actual Play on rpg.net. If you want, send me an email wjmacguffin (at) gmail (dot) com with any notes, comments, or feedback. For example,
"Who am I to stop intercine warfare?"
Randy the Wonder Lizard Thingie getting Gary-R executed by The Computer.
A gargoyle attending group therapy.
Leaving every scene a flaming wreckage.

Woooo, GameDay!
Another fantastic time.
Tim, Laurie, Nev, and Lifelike, thanks for a GREAT game of Hero's Banner in the morning. My god, the way all the drama comes smashing together...that was pretty epic; it's a fantastic game, Tim. And if that really was a relatively standard amount of dramatic conflict? Holy crap, how do people play the multi-generational version? Wow. (I'm also decidedly amused by the fact I suggested the setting could be thought of as a fairy tale as opposed to high fantasy, in the Grimm sense what with all the conflict...then my character ended up with the Happily Ever After ending, hah.)
To my Supernatural crew, thanks as always for an awesome time. We're practically a thrice-a-year campaign at this point, and that's sort of awesome in and of itself. I'm brewing ideas for Bobby's episode for next time, and I actually read a story last night that gave me a plot to use if a core member of the group can't make it at some point, heh. (There's a distinct possibility I have FAR TOO MANY IDEAS IN MY HEAD, but we'll see what happens.) I'm already looking forward to next time, even if it has to wait til the fall GameDay; I wish we could make this happen more often.
And to Buzz, Curt, and GamesPlus, thank you so much for organizing and hosting these events; they never fail to be an outstanding time. You guys are all great.
See Everybody Next Time!!

First off thanks to Curt, GamesPlus for hosting another great games day. Second, thanks to Buzz, good job as always!
I would also like to thank everyone who played in my Zombipoclypse game. Many thanks to Redizilla and JadeFire for staying and talking about how we can improve the game.
The adventure itself went smoothly with the biggest threat being the the spider monkeys. I would have thought it the flaming infected Elephant....but hey, I obviously have different priorities.
Thanks everyone!

Ah, I've finally recovered enough to muster the strength to post.
Thanks to everyone! People I did play with, people I didn't play with, to the GM volunteers, and to our gracious hosts, Games Plus. Morning D&D was a blast (quite literally, with two warlocks and a wizard in the party), and the afternoon Mouse Guard game went better than I could have hoped. Much awesomeness!
And, here's my contribution to the photo pool: Picasa Web Albums - buzz - ENWorld Chica...
Please make note of this photo, which documents Rich rolling eight successes (4, 5, or 6) on eight dice, which is pretty astronomical. That'll show those weasels!
As for attendance, my sign-up sheets say that we had a total of 40 attendees. Not the biggest Gameday ever, but certainly in line with our average. Sharing the play space with Wordwide D&D Gameday worked out quite well, and I'd have no problem aligning Gamedays with similar events in the future.
Kudos, everyone. See you next time!

Good times, people. Good times.
I got to decapitate my father! ^_^
Thanks to Tim and my fellow nobles for all the angst and doublecrossing and bloodshed.
Thanks to Buzz for organizing and Plus for hosting.
Oh, and thanks to my fellow aristocrats for helping me not get eaten by horrible bug slaves.
Let's do it again soon! ^_^
