NC Game Day IX - January 21 (PRE-REG NOW OPEN)

[Darth K'Trava]

Done and done.

Thanks, amigo!

Now to threaten work with what would happen if they don't let me off and I end up ticking off a deity.....

I've been given some good advice, and followed through.

My Face of Angels game has been shifted to the afternoon slot, and may run late. This will allow anyone with a free afternoon slot to try it out and not feel restricted to losing both slots. I hope this allows some more individuals a shot at getting a free game just for helping my friend playtest his newest game!

Dave, can you confirm/update the Auction thing?

Yes. They want to hold it at game day though, so all of you can participate. I still need to get with Rel about that one. I will be at the game store tonight, if that helps, Rel.

How late will you be there? I'd like to stop by, myself. Can we coordinate?

I will be there from around 5:30pm until close. It is my wife's game night, so we'll be playing D&D, but I can get away to talk if needed.

What time are you going to be there? There is a chance that I could swing by for a few minutes to chat about this. It wouldn't be for long though since tonight is a date night for Mrs. Rel and I after I drop Samantha off at my mom's house.

As a heads up, I'm not against having the auction at Game Day. But I see a couple of challenges that we'd need to figure out:

1) Time. This strikes me as something that could take a while. I don't know how others feel, but I don't really want to have to skip one of the sessions to participate in the auction. We clearly can't do it before the Game Day in the morning, lunchtime is probably not long enough (especially with how many morning games run into the lunch hour) and afterwards it cuts into dinnertime when we're already eating pretty late as it is.

2) We're having a pretty good sized group coming in from out of town this time. I'm sure these folks would enjoy participating in the auction but since the proceeds of your sales are store credit then it makes it tough on those who don't live around here.

As I've typed this, a possible solution comes to mind: We could do the auction on Friday night as part of the dinner. I think that combining socializing and eating pizza with the event would make it fun, it could run as late as the girls wanted to keep the store open and the out of towners could spend their store credit right then and there.

If it doesn't work out to get together this evening, shoot me an e-mail, BU and we'll set up a time to meet or talk on the phone. I'd like to get this figured out sooner than later.

I may come by and say Hi at this point still. Rel, keep me informed so that we can playtest Risus for you.

My plan is still to run this on the afternoon of the 8th at AF&G. If I can get by there today I'll ask the ladies to hold me table. Any and all folks reading this thread, I've got 4 available slots in that game if you'd like to participate. I'm assuming that AA wants one of them but that leaves 3.

Rel: See above.

Friday night if Magic night at the store. I doubt that they will be able to have the auction there at that time. It is not critical that we do it on gameday, but I thought it could be nice.

Once I hear from my mom about what time she wants the munchkin I'll know whether I can make it by the store. Will one or both of the owners be there?

I'm open to suggestions on how we might fit the auction into Game Day. The only other thing I could think of is doing it as a "silent auction" where people could stop by throughout the day to jot down bids and have the results briefly announced at the end of Game Day. That still doesn't address the out-of-towners issue but maybe some of them could stop at the store the next day before they leave.
