NC Game Day - Important new info!

[Toras]

I too enjoyed game day, and I had a blast running Deadlands.
By the way, I'd like to apologies for going way, way to far on the description of the chapel.
That is what happens when you are designing a game and reading a Hellraiser book. You borrow ideas and Clive Barker is freaking sick.
The rest, I had fun, yet again.

Thanks Rel and Henry

To Rel and Henry I give a hearty thanks, because the I had a great time. Arcana Unearthed ... if you haven't played it, DO. Always inspiring to be around people that are just as excited as you, if not more! And for the price, there is nothing that compares You don't get what you payed for, rather, you get what you didn't pay for, and that makes all the difference

A true riot, hopefully I'll be around for next GameDay, if nothing else I can track up from SC since I know Raleigh quite well enough now.

Thanks again, guys and everyone who was there that made it that much more fun.

Let's see if I can get a pic to go in here...

Hmm. Apparently not. Anybody know how I can get a 350Kb photo down to under 250 so that it can be attached?

Hmm. Apparently not. Anybody know how I can get a 350Kb photo down to under 250 so that it can be attached?

The three options are:

1) decrease the resolution, which I don't recommend because digital camera pics are already at 72 dpi., the typical web image resolution

2) decrease the number of colors, which I don't recommend either because it almost always makes the image look weirdly pixellated.

3) crop or resize the image to smaller physical dimensions. This is the method I would (and do) use. There are lots of image editors available that would do the trick. Feel free to send them to the email address in my profile if you need to and I'll do the resizing and send them back to you.

BTW, I can't believe I almost forgot to say what a great time I had yesterday at Game Day III! I gamed in two systems I've bever played before and had an absolute blast! Thanks to both Rel and Clueless for providing such memorable adventures; I'm already looking forward to Game Day IV.

YIKES! TOO BIG. Could a mod (Henry?) please delete that post and let me try again.

Just got back to C'ville, and wanted to make a quick post to say that I had a great time! Thanks to Henry & Toras for running the games I played in (Toras, I forgive you for the chapel

), and a big thanks to Rel and NCSUCodemonkey for giving me directions everytime I needed to drive someplace. Next time I'll have a better idea where I'm going! Also thanks to Neal for the website and running around making sure things were going smoothly. Glad I could make the drive down, and I hope to do it again.

I'm just dropping in a brief word to say how much fun I had, too. I'm afraid I can't relate all of the experiences I had yesterday, much less remember them all but I did want to say a word about the people I did meet and the games I did play in:

1) The Arcana Unearthed game - to Ruined, Speaks with Stone, Rel, Pielorhino, Cthulhu's Librarian, NCSUCodemonkey, and Togamario - that's a dream gaming group there. I would be honored to DM for any of these guys again. It was a blast to catch up with some of you again, a real pleasure to meet some of you for the first time, and rewarding to see how much ALL of you enjoyed the game system. Based on what Rel said about how much he likes AU, his players better have their eyes peeled for a TPK monster in the near future...

2) Feng Shui. The game I felt like I could have run inside of ten minutes of playing it. The rules are quite flexible, and if I get the opportunity to buy this game in the future, my gamers may have a new one-shot system, if I can get them to try it one time...

Jeph, hat off to you for an excellent demo and a smooth plot. To Hopping Vampire, Queldonus, Drayan, and (the only player whose name I forgot sitting next to me - if he can chime in I'd be grateful) - you guys made Feng Shui some great fun. A Little Korean shopkeeper, an Ancient Sorcerers flung to the present, a Mad-dog Assassin with a heart of gold and titanium-steel shades, a Demon-hunting cop hunting for justice for his partner, and a beer-swilling football-playing Country Boy looking for his lost daughter - all together on a mission to save New York without blowing it up first - was an experience I'll never forget. The pleasure was mine, guys.

Errico's in Cary, NC is da bomb - great food and friendly staff, you don't find many places like it any more. Rock-ola was as usual superb. I'm sorry so many couldn't make it to the dinners, because it's always fun to sit, eat, talk about everything from family to jobs to most exciting game sessions, to (with Rel and several others) the nature of good and evil and the underpinnings of the economies of Hell - there's always something new.

The saddest part is it's only a day. The best part is we're planning for two or three more this year.

Hats off to Neal, the TrinocCon staff, and NCSU. It's great to know these fine folks and some serious dedication to fun. I had that milkshake for ya, Neal!

P.S. Jeph, 'Vampire, et.al - I'm thinking of writing up the Feng Shui game, assuming one of you hasn't had a similar thought, because it was such fun - it that's cool, could everyone in that game please e-mail me when convenient, and help me get a few facts straight? I would appreciate it!

I had a blast...it's good to know that such a large amount of good people exist so relatively close to home..it is not often that you can walk into a room full of strangers and feel welcome and not have tension with anyone there. I really have to admit game day could easily become an addiction...

all together on a mission to save New York without blowing it up first

Objective A: Accomplished.
Objective B: Not so much so.

It was great fun running for you guys, and you can bet your hat I'll be GMing again at NCGDIV. And Henry, I'll be emailing you about writing up the game. What info would you like me to send?

Huge thanks to Henry, Rel, Neal, and everyone else for making the Gameday possible!

Thanks and a question

Hey guys, just surfaced from a day of sleep, a hearty lunch with friends and a SuperBowl worth remembering, unfortunately that game didn't turn out as I would have hoped.

I wanted to thank you all for allowing Trinoc*coN and GAMER to piggy-back on NC Game Day 3, and make it (from our view as well) a smashing success. So much so, that as we were cleaning up, many attendees, as well as the majority of the other people who made the game day possible, came forward and asked if we could do this again sooner.

So, I come to you guys as a community. Would you mind if we piggy-backed along again for NC Game Day IV? We all had such a blast we want to do it again!

I certainly understand if you guys would rather not, but I think it would be a great boon to EN World and the gaming community in NC as a whole. We ended up with quite a few new people introduced to gaming in general. I was quite heartened to see people that had heard about NC Game Day from many disparate sources all playing games together and having a good time.

If nothing else, I will be looking forward to next year, and joining in on making NC Game Day 6 another great day! Let me know what you guys think, and I'll be hanging around on these great boards. (Thanks for introducing me to them).

Thanks again,

Neal

PS - I got to sit down and play a game of Ark of the Covenant last night after we closed up. So don't feel too bad for me. That and, I think I managed to hook my wife on gaming as well (during the day she actually volunteered to help with the next one, as well as Trinoc*coN itself *a minor miracle*)
