No email either. Facebook has one time while the website has something different. Not surprising.
Re: Gary Con VIII
I got my email eventually.
Re: Gary Con VIII
My tentative schedule, assuming I get the two events I want:
Weds night: open
Thurs morning: breakfast in town/open
Thurs 12-4: my AS&SH game
Thurs night: open
Fri morning: breakfast in town/open
Friday 12-6: Prata's AS&SH game
Friday 8-12: my AS&SH game
Saturday morning: breakfast in town/open
Saturday 12-4: my AS&SH game
Saturday 4-8: ligedog's AS&SH game
Saturday night: open
My plan is to fill those open spots with some off-grid O/AD&D games by folks like EOTB and capitalbill.

Re: Gary Con VIII
I'm tentatively planning on being ready to run portions of Wheggi's Seacliffs of Despair manuscript. It's a big sandboxy adventure (and a really, really good one!), so right now I'm going through it to extract out portions that I think would work best in a time-limited convention atmosphere.Chainsaw wrote:My plan is to fill those open spots with some off-grid O/AD&D games by folks like EOTB and capitalbill.

Re: Gary Con VIII
Hey, guys,
In theory, I'm booking up most pre-10 times, but we'll see what happens when the thing actually goes live. I figure the system encourages over-booking now and then seeing what you want to actually do once you know the parameters.
But I should have a couple of things I can run--one thing to run if enough characters die in another game, too! And I'll be with several people from my F2F group who are coming. Should be great.

I'd be honored, Allan! I haven't thought about what day yet; we'll see who wants to play and plan around an open time.grodog wrote:That sounds great, Steve!

Re: Gary Con VIII
I'm sticking around Sunday this year. Although I'm running Jutland that morning through about 2pm, I will be looking for some open gaming after that! I'm willing to run something if people are interested, and am certainly interested in playing if someone else has something cooking!
Depending on how registration goes, I may have a lot of other open blocks, too!

You say the nicest things, man! Mind if I join in? I'm kinda curious myself how it plays, and like Allan it has been a while since I've looked at it.EOTB wrote:I'm tentatively planning on being ready to run portions of Wheggi's Seacliffs of Despair manuscript.
