Kriskrafts says that this will be good practice for you, as you will probably be DMing our entire family in a couple of years or so. Be afraid, be very afraid. :)

Just flaunt it in our faces why don't you! I'm so jealous for so many different reasons right now :p

(err... except for that part about making the little girl cry -- that was just cold. Glad I wasn't around for that! :D )

But glad you all had a good time :)

I SWEAR I saw Piratecat in a Cologne commercial three days ago.:eek:

Theres never a picture with me in it that I like...

All the moderators are awesome people, and if I had a camera with me, I would have displayed my awesome tracking abilities...

And Living Greyhawk is hard as hell... APL 2 (Characters 1st-2nd level) were supposed to survive a list of encounters that includes, but was not limited to:
Spoiler, Repeat, Do not read if you are AT GENCON for Saturday or Sunday[color=222222]
2 Gargoyles hovering over a platform of tiles that cause minor wounds with every 5 foot step if the player hasn't solved a puzzle yet... they had damage reduction 5 I'm guessing, and took half damage from piercing/slashing attacks... hard but not too hard...

1 Creatures that spawned 5 1 hit dice incorporeal (Read: Not harmed by non-magic weapons) with only certain undead traits every turn. Each creature attacked with a negative energy touch attack. The actual creature was concealed by a thick fog (20% miss chance, visibility of 10 feet... we would have to find it first). If you didn't kill the thing in the first round (which would involve finding it), you were surrounded by 10 wisps, then 15, then 20... and only two members of the whole group had valid attacks they knew about... (My cleric and the 'wizard/sorcerer' guy that liked say 'magic missile'...

And a Fire Giant... enough said... that didn't go too well with 6 characters with no spells or any such thing left.

All without any chance to recuperate or even organize before hand... If that isn't "Death around every corner" I don't know what is. Somehow I survived... but I'm not exactly excited about the Gygaxian feel of my next game. I thought 3E avoided the 'every other step lose a level' thing...[/color]

Also... I had the most fun I can ever remember having... everything was awesome. My friend Phil played in a magic tournament that lasted something like 6 hours! I was able to build a Christmas list longer than most of the threads on these boards.

Story #2:

Yesterday, I was running "Rrakma," a RPGA event where the PCs are githzerai going after mind flayers. I had something I've never seen before in years of judging - a whole family! Two parents, a 15 year old son (or maybe nephew), a 14 year old girl, a 10 year old boy, and an 8 year old girl. And you know what? They did great; it was really fun to watch. Unfortunately, near the end of the round the young girl got mind blasted by mind flayers. I look over, and her face is scrunched up with tears trickling down it.

*sniff* I made an eight year old girl cry.

I did explain that there was nothing she could do, that she played her character perfectly, and that sometime the dice don't cooperate... and that made a lot of sense, I think. But damn! :D

I couldn't have handled a little girl crying. I would have had to use DM intervention or something to make things right. Ouch! You're a sterner man than I am PC. I can't take children crying, unless of course they are annoying bratty children;)
 

Friday, over and done!

I didn't run a game this morning, which really is all for the best; despite being a sleep specialist, I have gotten 5 and then 4 hours in the last two nights. Tonight looks to be about the same. Ahhh, but the secret, you see, is that I know precisely how tired I am on a scale from 1 to 20.... :D

Real stories and photos later. Particular highlights: running the EN World Spycraft and Paranoia games this afternoon. Watching people I know and respect win all kinds of ENnies! Getting a custom dicebag from Paladin and Paladinwife (of the Gamer's Bag) with a copy of my avatar on it - SO very cool - and getting to thank a lot of the people who got me here in the first place. Lifting a glass (along with 30-40 other EN Worlders in the restaurant) when Buttercup suggested a toast to Angelsboi, who had planned to come but is too ill to make it. Best of all, seeing the people I've known and liked online for years, and watching them have fun.

Heh - you get the idea. It's been a good day. :D

A lot of my ENnies photos came out too dark - if you have any, PLEASE email me (address below) so I can fill in the gaps for Morrus - but here's one that's just too special not to share. Heh heh.

I'm so sad I missed the ennies...

I hope to see all the photos and the summary of the event very soon... to fill that empty place in my heart...
 


Hey - to be fair, who couldn't take their eyes off the best-dressed man on stage? Rawr! :)

Things went quite well, with a few minor technical glitches. It went at a good pace, and was the best ENnies show yet, IMHO.
