[QUOTE="Quickbeam, post: 895816, member: 635"] Well, the weekend didn't come off quite like I'd hoped for or planned, but that doesn't mean the event wasn't a success in my eyes. The 2nd Gameday was every bit as enjoyable as the 1st, albeit in entirely different regards. dshai527 did a fantastic job of running a spontaneous 3E adventure for 7th level PC's. The game included some new magic items created on the spot; bizarre and previously unseen monsters/beasts; an evil blight which was destroying the forest and could turn folks into nearly undead creatures. The cast of characters was equally entertaining, ranging from a druid equipped with two [i]Bags of Tricks[/i] (who seemed remarkably adept at pulling rhinos out of said bags), to a half-orc barbarian whose favorite pasttime was pulling tree stumps out of the ground and eating parts of his slain foes. Personally, I will never forget the [i]Sword of the Phoenix[/i] given to my Ranger/Rogue, or my first (at long last) chance to play a Rogue in 3E. In the second session I was able to run Monte Cook's d20 CoC adventure [i]Infest[/i], which was a blast for me! The game went so well, our group continued playing right into the beginnings of [i]Nocturnum[/i] (one of the donated books), and will probably resume the campaign at the next Gameday. Perhaps my favorite part of the game was that each player created their character on the spot, sharing information along the way...yet somehow PC names were never discussed. When the session began I asked for each "Investigator's" name. The replies were: John (archeaologist), Jon (ex-soldier and sneaky boy scout), James (P.I.), and Jean (the French musician). Thankfully, Jean became David and British, while John changed his name to Peter. Still it gave me quite a laugh :D!! It was nice to see some familiar faces once again, although I'm sorry to hear about the issues surrounding some of the last minute cancellations. Special thanks to Crothian for being so generous with the various sponsor swag -- I swear that [i]Nocturnum[/i] has found a good home ;)! Take care all, and I hope to see everyone again this autumn...if not sooner at GenCon or another nearby Gameday. [b]edit:[/b] Clear Dragon -- care to explain the grilled otyugh comment? [/QUOTE]
