Origins 2003

Iluminati? I have NWO, if that's what you're talking about, but I haven't played since I was an undergrad.

As for playing, I saw folks playing on any vacant table they could find, so I don't think that's a problem.

Not NWO, the other one. It's just one box set (though it does have two expansions) and up to 8 people can play. I was just introduced to it this year, even though it's been around for 20 years.

I should be there by Friday evening this year. I'm usually there for the whole shebang, but I'm actually able to make it to GenCon this year, and unfortunately I can't afford to max out on two conventions within a month of each other. So, I'm doing GenCon for the full duration and Origins for the weekend. I will be there, though, and I hope to put some faces to some names.

We could always arrange a meeting place and then proceed from there. There's always open space at the con site, IIRC. The area directly outside the exhibitor's hall has plenty of tables and empty space. There's also the big connecting hall from the hotel to the con site for open gaming.

I think the event registration has already passed, so I'm not sure it's possible to get an official room.

Which booths?

Do we want to make this an official event? I have no idea on the Pro's and Con's of doing it one way or the other.

I suspect that if it was made an official event we'd just be given a single table or something. I'd imagine that any larger rooms are already assigned, but it might be worth asking. I'm cool with a less formal set up. There's always space in the open gaming areas.

I'll be there at the Bastion Press/Mystic Eye Games booth plus giving and helping out on several freelance seminars that Richard Stewart set up. I am hoping to get a bunch of gaming in, but I'll have to see how things go overall.
