Initially I totally wanted to grab a seat for this, then I realized it was on Sunday...gotta fly out.
Regardless, looks like we'll be in a couple games together.
Nice! And my buddy Manny is in your Sat. Buried game, which sounds great. I was trying to figure out a way to make it happen but couldn't quite finagle it.

Cool! Ancalagon and Guy are both in that game so it should be a good group. I'll make sure he dies quickly and in a painfully embarrassing manner, you know, so he'll have something interesting to talk about later.

It's actually your Friday game, which is too bad. But I think the same policy applies!
I may have overdone it on pregens. I like to have one for every AS&SH class so as to advertise what the game can do a little bit. But updating them to a higher level and finding a fun magic item for each takes a while! And so does finding portraits for the char. sheets.

I just registered for Gary Con last weekend, but still found a lot of great games to sign up for.
My schedule so far:
Fri (arrive in the morning)
12-4 Acrid Herald (spy-type RPG) scenario with Merle Rasmussen (Top Secret)
4-8 "The Last Great Adventure - in 3D" AD&D adventure with Harold Johnson (C1 Hidden Shrine of Tamoachan)
9-12 Gen Con 50 celebration at Horticultural Hall, original home of Gen Con
Sat
8-12 Orc's Drift CHAINMAIL game - recommended by Welleran
here
2-4 Dungeon! boardgame with the designer David Megarry
Sun
10-12 Dragon Lairds with Tom Wham
12-4 Braunstein IV: Banania with David Wesely
Still have a few slots left on Saturday; I may sign up for some of the Keep on the Borderlands 5E.
Last night my local group play-tested a Gamma World 1E scenario that my friend Scott will be running at the con on Sunday.
There is still one slot left if anyone is interested:

Only a few days away! Can't wait!
To those of you in any of my Foolsgrave games, we'll be rolling "experienced" Level 1 PCs (and any replacements) at the table, using the guidelines below. If you want to roll your PC(s) ahead of time, please feel free.
- 4d6 arranged to taste
- Max HP at level one
- 4d6x20 gold for equipment
- 800+d6x100 starting XP
- Potion of Healing
Spellcasters, in their spellbooks, automatically receive
Detect Magic, roll randomly for two more Level 1 spells and then pick two more Level 1 spells. Your spellbook should then have a total of
five spells. Per the rules, you can memorize one per day (maybe two if your intelligence is high enough). Also, you will start with three scrolls: two for spells selected from your Level 1 spellbook and one for a spell selected from the Level 2 spell list. This means every spellcaster starts with a minimum of four castable spells (probably five).

While it looks like I'm not attending GaryCon this year, I do intend to poke my head in and say hi. Wish I could hang out and game, but such is life

Bummer, Tony: I was hoping you could join one of my Castle Greyhawk games this year!

Oh trust me: if I can get there for a few minutes this year I'm hunting you down and throwing one back with you.

What city/town do you live in that you are close enough to "drop by"?

This is quite close. So why can't you do "some" gaming at Gary Con?

Awesome! I'm available Wednesday and Thursday, day and night!
I wonder if anyone has some space available in their games ...

I can almost definitely squeeze you into my Thursday night game, assuming that a midnight-ish stop time isn't too late for work on Friday?
On Wednesday we've talked about playing some boardgames, etc. after finishing booth setup. Nothing definite scheduled yet.
