Detroit Gameday II: Dec 4th AFTERMATH!!!

[Desdichado]

Yeah, well, I think we're to the point where gratuitous bumps aren't bringing new people to the thread anymore.

I'm actually a bit concerned that we'll have to cancel some of these games. I'm not sure if we're going to see very many more signups or not.

Which airline has a hub in Detroit? I just can't remember, even though I've had some memorable lay-overs in the Detroit airport....

(Can you tell I hate driving? And would actually consider flying to a gameday to avoid the 6 hour drive?)

I promise to generate some interest before month's end from one of my gaming groups. Patience, my friend. Patience.

If not, I'll begin a rather vocal campaign to spur additional interest and sign ups. We are still talking nearly two months before the event after all .

Northwest has its own (new) terminal.

Several other airlines run a pretty solid array of flight options and times, but that depends on whether you're flying into Detroit out of Chicago or Milwaukee, Kent.

I'll see if I can pull some of my players in, but I'm not sure who is willing and able...

 

[Barendd Nobeard]

Oh, it would definitely be Milwaukee. Thanks for the info, Kevin!

I posted to the Detroit gamers Yahoo! Group. I think a few people saw it over there. I'll see if I can drum up more support. It's still early too.

I'm one of those players that really isn't sure if I'll be in state that weekend or not. It just depends if I am going to go to visit the family in NJ before Thanksgiving or during it. I really won't know for a few weeks still I think.

I just posted a Convention announcement on the HERO Boards to drum up some interest.

So that may give a small kick.

Barendd Nobeard: Don't forget the train. It goes from Chicago to Dearborn in 5.5 hours and costs $50 RT. I used to take the train all the time from Ann Arbor to CHI and enjoyed it. By the time you deal with airport security you would have been better off with the train.

Not to mention, if you come with your buddies you can game the whole way there.

On a related topic, since you are willing to travel, U*Con is Nove 19-21 in Ann Arbor.

This con, going on now for about 15 years, draws around 400-600 gamers and is a lot of fun. This year Jervis Johnson (Blood Bowl) and Pedro Barrenechea (Living Arcanis RPGA Coordinator) will be there. Lot's of fun and a great atmosphere. If anyone decides to go, let me know... I'd love to meet/see you again. I'll be running a lot of HERO (2 adventures and 4 free system demos). The con is well organized and one of the best in the region.
