[Storminator]

Not nearly as funny as his tactics to combat the bear from the inside. See the picture about 5 pages back to see the crowd's reaction....

Ah, hell, let's just let 'em know.

War Golem: I cast Enlarge on myself...

Neg-Zero tried to Reduce the bear, but it made its save.

It's weird how at a convention of thousands and literally square miles of terrain to cover, that there always end up being a few people you just seem to keep running into. For us, those people were francisca, Storminator (& his wife) and Glenn from DireKobold.com. Why? I have no idea. But we didn't mind at all - all 3 of you guys were great, and May and I look forward to gaming with you next time.

Cheers,

I noticed that too, and it was cool seeing you and May all over the floor as well.

We'll definitely have to do that on purpose next year!

I second that, you guys were great.

Storminator, we need to game again next year.

You betcha man, I'll have a scenario or two whipped up, and I'm ready to play any time. I probably won't make it thru the weekend if I don't invite Ashy, tho, so be ready to game with him too!

And, of course, I'll be party of the insane ENWorld enormous gaming event (which seriously needs a cool name)

Heheh! If it makes you feel any better, Kugar and DonAdam never skipped a beat...but I did worry for a second. Then the Heineken reminded me that women are excellent navigators and Queenie made her Intuit Direction check! Shame on you for stealing her credit! Thanks to both of you for the ride!!


-Rugger
"I Ramble!"

No problem! And I don't know what it is about guys and directions.. we won't even go there...

I am glad we did give you guys a ride because it was cool to hear what you all thought was the best GenCon moments. Next year we will have to plan better so people don't get stuck with $40 cab fares!

hey RJ since you're a fellow NY'er maybe next time we can travel together or room, and save some $$ It was kool meeting you.

I am so behind on this thread, it took me quite a few days to recover from the whole GenCon experience.

Rob and I are already looking for people to travel / room with for next year. We were even hoping to get into one of the connecting hotels. We heard the Hyatt was wonderful from Rugger.

Where in NY are you from?

Sooooo, now Im convinced I need to go next year. But damn, is it going to be in the same place at the same time or what? Ive not been to a gencon in all my 16 years of gaming (or any of the rest of the years of my life for that matter) and know precious little about it. Any insight?

Sorry if someone responded to you already, like I said earlier I am slow getting through this thread.

The dates for the con next year (and the two years after that) were in the GenCon book they gave out. It was something like August 5th - 8th, off the top of my head. The con is going to be in Indy for a while, according to the guy who "owns" GenCon (sorry I don't know his name!). I think he said (at the Party in the Plaza) they had signed a big contract with the city.

You'd better not game without me, dagnabbit!

It does, doesn't it?

 

[Negative Zero]

This is most of the crowd. I can easily say that this was the largest party I've ever been a part of (number of Players, anyway):

I'll leave it to someone else to go around the table and identify everyone.

well, that's me with in the white T-Shirt, with my back to the camera, and my two friends Dave and Mark (black cap), to my immediate left. (no, not Mark from the boards) on either side of Mark's head, i recognise EOL (on the boards) from DireKobold.com and his buddy Glenn (who is a riot btw) to his left. and of course Leopold is standing with the blue cap, and that's right, a copy of Improved Initiative in his hands!!!

...

heya Queenie, always nice to see another NYer on the boards welcome
