Ohio GameDay IV planning

[Crothian]

But how cool is that though?

yes it is cool......

yes it is cool......

way kewl, no way we are going to be able to hold our gameday in there unless one of us is independently wealthy and willing to sponor it ...

Chances are it is priced too high, but I've always thought that holding a game in the Priory at the Athenaeum would be really cool...

I called on the Athenaeum. Not only do they not list prices on the website, they weren't very willign to talk about them on the phone when you don't have a date set or any real agenda. Not good IMO, although it looks like an awesome spot for a gameday. They are supposed to call me back, I will post what they say.

next time fib. "Why yes, I'd like to check prices for the whatever of Novmeber for about 25 people." and tell them you can't commit to anything as you are just doing the leg work for your boss.

Allright, I am going to post out a poll thread in general and see what kind of feedback we get. If you have some Ohio friends that are lurkers here, make sure they are posting to the poll.

Here is what we have. I checked out the room at the hotel and while it is a bit smaller than I was hoping it should adequately get 3-5 tables of gamers without too much trouble. I figure 6 gamers average and a GM making that 21 to 35 gamers. 35 is pushing it for this room, as they quoted me 25-30. If the poll suggests that 50 or more people will show, then we will move it to the Blue Moon. This will make it more expensive but should only be around ten a head at that price.

So, I am starting a poll to see how many we get. I'll give it 3 or 4 days to see how much interest we get. After that, we will decide on a venue from the two, and then we will be able to settle on a concrete date. I am thinking October-Early November. If not then it will probably be sometime in January as I know people generally have holiday commitments from late November to early January.

So, not trying to sound pushy, I am just basing my decisions off of what has gone on in the thread. Any ideas, suggestions, and naysayers are welcome to post and speak their mind.

Oh, and thanks for the sofar positive responses. I don't mind doing legwork to see a group of gamers get together to have fun, and I am glad to see that this may just yet come to fruition.

Now go post on my poll!

let the poll run through the holiday weekend if you can

Well, I'm late coming to this party, but I'm in for anywhere in the state!

Money? OK, as long as it's reasonable.

Games? I'll run anything D20 that seems to have an interest. I'll play anything that looks fun (whether I know the system or not!).

RPGA? If the local circle says OK, I'll run those, too.

Can you tell I still miss GenCon, and want to play more?

 

[Crothian]

we all miss Gen Con.....

I forgot all about that! I did not set a date for the poll to expire so we are cool.

Uh, I will get on the "miss GenCon" bandwagon. It was great fun this year and I am already planning on going next year!

Der, if my memory serves me, your daughter games as well. Is that right? Would she be coming as well? Just looking at the numbers!

Thanks
