May 8th sounds fine.

Sounds like we have a winner. May it is.

I hope I can make it down in May, but that's only 3 weekends before my wedding. Things will either be really calm, or insanely busy. We'll see what happens.

Bring her along! Christy and I were only three weekends away from our wedding at the last game day and it really helped to have some quality time off before the wedding.

Game day was a huge stress relief.

I've thought of that. Laura has some close friends in Chapel Hill that she could hang with for the day while I gamed. Unfortunatly she's not a gamer, no matter how hard I try to convert her. I guess I can't have EVERYTHING I want.

We'll see as the time gets closer, and signups start happening.

Hmmm...

I feel a business trip to Charlotte coming up in May...via RTP !

Heck, Christy thought is was evil when we met. Luckily, she has an open mind. Maybe you should have a female gamer talk to her about it. Women relate to the game in different ways. I hooked Christy by talking about story, characters, and how it let you study points about your personality by heightening it in character.

I am sure that Christy would love to talk with her.

Please be warned, Old One that if you come, I WILL force you to run a game and I WILL force my way into it.

And, btw, I never got that e-mail you said you were sending in your Story Hour thread. If you sent it I may have some sort of e-mail problem. So let me know.

Hah!

Rel,

I will see what I can work out...I was planning on visiting Charlotte in early May, so this might mesh pretty well !

As far as the e-mail, I wanted to see if you had any of the Faded Glory stuff of either the old website or from the postings on the old, old EN World boards. I lost some files to a computer hiccup, including the "Tour of Faded Glory", detailing the West-to-East, North-to-South tour of the various geographic areas.

Of course, I had no hard copy or back up, so if you have those and can shoot me a copy, that would be awesome!

Oh, you think I haven't tried?

Actually, a good number of our friends here in C'ville are my gaming group and their significant others. There are a few female gamers that have tried to convince her, and we have even played a few different games and systems to try to bring her around (D&D, Buffy, GURPS), but she doesn't go for the game mechanics part. She has no problem coming up with shared stories (we do that fairly often on car trips), she just doesn't like the rules quantification of things. It's not that she doesn't want to play, she just doesn't like it when she has tried. But she doesn't really like most games in general, aside from word games and trivia games. Abstract game mechanics drive her nuts. And all this from an English/Biology major who used to work for Tor Books... Actually, when it comes right down to it, she's not much of an SF or Fantasy reader, and I think thats what pushes it over the edge. But she encourages me to play, and watches sometimes. I'm hoping that one day she'll just say "OK, I want to play this time"
