(heavy sigh) Well I'm sorry to say this, but I'm afraid I won't be making it this time. Too much to do, what with 2 big Games Workshop events at the store this weekend, plus the holiday season and all. I should have known better. 
Have fun everyone. Slay a couple of giants for me.

Sorry you won't be playing with us, thalmin. Qstor, a friend of mine wanted to come, but I told him the game was full. If thalmin can't make it though, I could have him play. He will need a pre gen. He doesnt post on enworld, so he doesnt have a handle to sign up with, but his name is Jim (same as mine). I'll email you too, in case you don't check the thread.

Just got home from the game a little while ago. I couldn't stay for the afternoon slot, but Steading of the Hill Giant Chief was a blast... Even though my ranger (the one who was supposed to be good against giants) got captured. Go figure 
. Thanks to everyone for making the game good, especially Qstor for running it.
We need to finish the adventure sometime. Those giants must pay!

Like Captain Howdy, I couldn't stay for the afternoon session, but I sure had fun at running Bloodlines. A big thanks goes out to the players: Broghammerj (a huamn rogue), Quickbeam (a Litorian Oathsworn), Campbell (a human cleric of Kord), Rethemillis (a radiant servant of Pelor), JohnA (A warlock), and LazarousLong (a Halfling Barbarian). I'd also like to thank James Jacobs over at Dunegon for permission to reprint the map - the players loved it.

Thanks to all for helping make this another succesful gameday; if anything, I had even more fun this time than last!
An especial thanks to the GMs of the various games; due to a number of no-shows and late cancellations, everyone had to kind of scoot over, make room for displaced folks and generally by somewhat flexible, but I think everyone did a bang-up job, and hopefully everyone had a good time. Everyone seemed to, at least.
Special thanks to Mike (qstor) for running a very successful and popular classic D&D setting in the morning, and to John (Stockdale) who was only able to come for the morning, and got his arm twisted into being a backup DM. It looks like he was having a good time, though, every time I looked behind me to see how their game was coming along, he had an evil grin on his face.
Thanks to LazarusLong42 and Quickbeam for running the -- unfortunately -- only two games in the afternoon, and mudpyr8 for being on hand if needed to run a third.
And thanks to the players; I had a great crew for my morning game as well. Thanks to a lot of luck and wit, and a little bit of mercy on my end, we only lost one PC, and even then, he wasn't dead per se, he's just a permanent vegetable with 0 Intelligence. I was seriously worried about TPKing the group and having everyone go home unsatisfied, but it turned out that I didn't really need to tone down my encounters too much after all. Even though I had a group of 75% aged doctors and academics struggling to survive against spies and monsters that were way over their heads...
And there was a lot of fun roleplaying involved as well; even when the game turned from a tense conspiracy/horror vibe into a science fiction B-movie at the end.
Everyone seemed to take that more or less in stride.

Oh, and I almost forgot -- I nominate for the most memorable quote I heard all day -- "Hold on a second. Piss does damage?"
