NC Game Day VII - April 23!

[Rel]

Looking foward to seeing Rel and Henry and the gang for another enjoyable session. I belive we will be arriving Friday night for dinner and should arrive well rested for action and mayhem.

Looking forward to it! Let me know if you guys need directions or anything.

Ladies and Gentlemen, if anyone else is planning on trying to attend our "DM Dinner" this coming Friday night then please indicate your desire to do so in THIS THREAD at the NC Game Day site. I'm hoping that it won't require that I mention NAKED WOMEN to prod further interest in this topic because you know that I usually abhor such base and prurient tactics unless it is absolutely convenient.

I am not entirely sure that I would be up to that one. While I think it will be a ton of fun, I am a bit wary of jumping in.

Belen, I'll make a deal with ya - I'll jump in if you will! I had been holding out and seeing if anyone else was planning an afternoon game, but a round-robin with some very good GM's sounds like fun, and both you and die Kluge apply to that.

Refreshing my memory a bit - when I took over for Corlon in that game, were you the gent who sat to my left and played the archer? Regardless, it'll be good to see you again!

Maybe I'm just hungry but I thought we'd talk about food for a few minutes:

Unless there is outcry to change the "post dinner" then I think we've had outstanding luck with RockOla and see no reason to go anyplace else after a long, hard day of gaming. They've been accomodating, the food is fatty and good, they have beer. I'm happy with the place.

As to the "pre dinner" on Friday night, I had a thought of doing something a little different. My wife and child will be out of town for the weekend this Game Day falls on and I was thinking of possibly offering to host a cookout style pre-dinner this time around. The weather will hopefully be pretty good by late April and I've got a big deck and a grill. We could eat chips and hot dogs (or whatever) all evening and hang out chatting about gaming on comfortable (if a bit stained by my messy child and dogs) couches instead of sitting around the table at Errico's.

Would this idea appeal to anybody moreso than our usual routine? In case it impacts your decision, I live down south of Cary, about fifteen minutes from Errico's. Assuming light traffic, I'm about 25 minutes from the NC State campus area.

I'm ok with whatever. My wife and daughter might be coming down with me this time, assuming I can find something for them to occupy their time in the city during the day (I'm sure that won't be difficult, it's a pretty big area). We could make a potluck out of it. I could bring some of my queso dip. It's awesome stuff.

Seems like a cool idea to me, although I definitely agree that we could make a potluck out of it. I can bring over a few dishes.

Let me talk with Christy and see what she'd like to do before I jump in. I am torn between this and running a second game.

I'm fine if folks want to bring stuff. I was thinking that I'd get the basics (chips, soda, buns, burgers, dogs, maybe some chicken wings) so we wouldn't be waiting on Henry to roll into town with the grillables while everybody stood there hungry. I'd collect some nominal fee ($5 at most) to cover these costs and if folks wanted to bring some other side dishes or deserts then they could feel free.

As for occupying your wife and child while you game, there is a lot to do around here. For little kids like your daughter, maybe The NC Natural History Museum (lots of dino skeletons and stuff like that) or possibly Exploris. There are also a ton of parks and such in the area that I can direct you to if you like. Pullen Park in particular might be good. It is over near NC State and has a couple playgrounds as well as a little train to ride, a boat ride and paddleboats you can rent. Our 3 year old loves that place.

I'd be up for the whole barbecue thing.
