North Texas RPG Convention 2012: June 7-10

[Badmike]

Are the auction results gonna be posted?

Sorry, Thork, I have no idea about this or what went for what price. After the raffle, I went to drink beer. You should get an account the NTRPG Con board and ask there. I am sure Doug and Mike know, though they may not have time to post for a few days.

I took down the winning bids, but I don't know if I'm at liberty to disclose them.

@Flambeaux: Haha, glad capitalbill had a good death! Wish I'd had time for your game too.

That's what next year is for.

I have the list somewhere and Doug usually posts it on the NTRPGcon site eventually. The big one this year was a set of the stupidly rare Greyhawk REference sheets for $1300. A Castle Zagyg signed by Jeff Talanian went for $310, a Bottle City limited edition (signed and numbered by Kuntz) went for $260.

That's some good stuff, Mike.

I think I'm going to need a mid-year convention... 12 months to the next NTRPGCon is going to be too long.

[Wheggi]

Sounds like the con was great! Glad everyone had a good time, and I hope I can make it out there (maybe the next one?)

Mike and I have kicked around the idea of a mini-con but never organized it.

Once I get a handle on my new responsibilities at work, I'll see about throwing something together.

Wheggi, would love the chance to meet and game with you. I hope you can make it out next year.

Heck, I wish I could get all y'all out here for the Con.

Count me in as player, DM, coordinator, helper, pack-mule. Would love to help make something happen.

A few more, all from last night..

Erol Otus' game (left) and Steve Winter's game (right).


Erol Otus and his DM Screen.


austinjimm in Otus' game.


Steve Winter's game (grodog on the right).


My character sheet, dice and beer in Steve's game.


Some close-ups of Steve's figs - they were really cool.

Compared to capitalbill and Chainsaw, I suck horribly at taking pictures... I only snapped a handful, if that, but here they are:

Gaming at the Social... tons of us here:


The setup for badmike's B1 game:


Playing LotFP with Jeff Dee and a few others in the lobby:


One of my new favourite snacks:


Character sheet proving I was in the first group to hit level 5 of Mythmere's Mythrus Tower


And the Mythrus Tower game... capitalbill is to the right of Matt, Chainsaw is to the left. Dennis Sustare is also on the right side there.

Me too. I'll be glad to help.

Great pics, guys! Looks like another great con!

Two other persons to note in the bottom Mythrus Tower pic: opposite Matt, in the grey beard and t-shirt, is Marshall Mahurin (sp?), a/k/a leadjunkie. And just to the right of Marshall, the face that is sort of cut off, appears to be Brian Kwan, a/k/a John Gaunt.

[Chainsaw]

Brian Kwano, a/k/a John Gaunt.

Both of our characters got stoned by a Medusa on Level 5 (and our "friends" left us there ). I want a t-shirt that says, "I got stoned in Mythrus Tower."

Awesome, Donovan! What level were the PCs this year, 3rd-4th? Or not that high?

That quote is definitely t-shirt worthy! I imagine Myth and Froggie could have something together by next year's NTX. They have a whole year, right???


Oh yeah, some friends ya had there. At least they couldn't loot the bodies...

[Chainsaw]

He let us roll up PCs that had 4,000 XP. The players in my session went immediately to level four, hoping to find a non-looted areas of the dungeon. We found some good treasure, but got greedy and stuck our noses down into level five.. that's when the shit hit the fan.

Yeah, maybe! Perhaps I can convince them to let me print up a special version.

Exactly. Who knows, maybe at some later convention I can rescue the statues or something, although it's nice to be a somewhat permanent part of the dungeon now.

[ligedog]

Wow looks like good time was had by all - maybe I can make it next year!

Thanks for filling in the blanks! I couldn't remember aliases at that moment for Marshall and Brian. First time you meet people in person it's tough to match up real names and usernames, hah (=


And no, we didn't loot Donovan and Brian's bodies.. guess we were all too excited about the 15,000gp mummy mask and the amazing way we killed a Medusa

[Matthew]

Looks great. Is there a Chain Mail scenario report forthcoming?
