How do I love GenCon? Let me count the ways!

[Teflon Billy]

...The best of the con for me though was when I met Xath and said, "Dude! You're a GIRL!" (a fact that it happens Xath was already aware of).

I do recall when I showed up a bit later you pointed out that Xath was a girl to me as well

I think I did something akin to checking her out and going "ohhh yeahhhh"

And they say Barry White is dead

 

[Teflon Billy]

I won't lie: This is the one thing I most want to get out of my trip to GenCon.

Well, you have a standing invite

I think that if I make it next year, all full-patch members of the Rapscallions are going to get a Black T-Shirt with TBR in white letters on the front (my buddy Josh is a silkscreener).

It just seemd like such a nice gesture from Whirligig at NTL to give us all commemorative shirts that I intend to steal the idea.

So "Full Patch Membership" will now have a literal as well as figurative meaning.

So, is this Francisca in blue here?

(If so, what wonders a shave and a good corset does between then and the NTL meeting...)

You guys are killing me......

Just remember, carry plenty of cash, because the questions that sometimes follow "What would T-Bill Do?" are "Which Way To The Gentlemen's Club?", "Who Needs A Round Of Drinks?", and "How Much For Bail?"

You wound me sir!

I am polite and law-abiding without fail when visiting a foreign country and in sight of the men-in-blue. Bail has never been a question

The rest of it though? Guilty as charged

I did it as a public service but you seem like a smart guy. I bet if I hadn't said anything you'd have still figured out that she was a girl.

I later dubbed Xath "all that and a bag of dice".

Oh, don't get me wrong. Being T-Bill and doing what T-Bill would do is just decidedly different from being someone else, asking "What Would T-Bill Do?", and then trying it themself. It's why many common household items have warning labels, from what I understand...

Yeah -- but without her telling me, it would never have occurred to me that she was one of us. I would have just assumed she was a cast member of a sci-fi channel show I hadn't seen yet (but clearly needed to start tuning in to) who had come to the wrong suite.

MIK!

After attending the excursion, and acquitting himself with panache in the eyes of his fellow brethren, Mik is the newest full-blooded member of Teflon Billy's Rapscallions.

Hail brother and well-met!

Cool, thanks TB, corrected in my main post!

Mention of the rapscallions makes me wonder, is it "once a rapscallion, always a rapscallion?" It would be a bummer to be a FORMER rapscallion just because I was forced to start taking Paladin levels. If anything I can cast "protection from not-so-hot strippers" before you leave!

Jester47 - He has like a 5' radius of "casual" around him where everybody is forced to make a DC 30 Fort save or "chill". Or maybe that was the beer I was drinking at the time. He really seems to know where his towell is at.

Thanks man, I wish I could have gotten in more games with ya. Seems like my schedule was just two hours off everyone elses.

I have a question for the other non-Canadians who were there:

Do you find yourself unconsciously speaking in a very vaguely Canadian way, just because those Canadians were all so cool? I seem to be unwittingly doing a very slight (and undoubtedly very poor) rendition of TB since I've gotten home from GenCon.

Last night my wife sat down next to me on the couch while I was sifting through some swag. I turned to find her looking at me and I narrowed my eyes just a bit and said in a low growl, "Wanna' go?"

It turned out that she did not, in fact, wish to "go" at that particular moment. She even looked a little scared and retreated from the room.

Queen D - This girl brims with bubbly fun and I suspect that she never stops smiling. She shatters the stereotype of the pretty girl who likes roleplaying but doesn't really quite get the rules. (And by the way, I intended on giving you that shirt, Queen D. So instead of a gift, I'm going to turn it into bait. Come to one of the NC Game Days and it is yours. )

Your bait will work. I *will* make it down to the game day... just probably won't be the one in the fall.

Additionally - thanks, Rel. You're incredibly kind and insanely fun to be around. Even nicer in person than you are on the boards... and that's *really* saying something.
