I stumbled on this today. It's me and Chainsaw dozing off during Cromlech Tor a couple years back!

.. dozing off during Cromlech Tor

Sorry Philotomy.. you weren't supposed know about that!

Seriously, though, thanks for digging that up, Jimm. Seems like a long time ago, but really wasn't. This year should be even better.

Hahaha..you're in good company there, Chainsaw. I've dozed off in some games myself.

Dude, you know they just caught us blinking.. we enjoyed your game!

Hey Philotomy! Are you going to the CON this year? I missed you and Chainsaw last time.

I can't believe I'm missing this again. Hopefully next year.

Where are you Axe? Florida? That wouldn't be such a bad drive. What, 20 hrs or so?

Hey--

I know a lot of y'all will be signing up for the scheduled sessions on Thurs. night, but if anyone else wants to run a dungeon session at the social, Angry Wizard and I would love to throw you into the rotation.

Hint, hint, nudge, nudge, Chainsaw, Philotomy.

I want to fight me some Space Mummies!

Hmm.. let me see if I can work something up that might be fun and I'll take a rotation. I've never run anything at a convention before, so I'm a little nervous, but hell, this might be the perfect way to pop my cherry. Fuck it, count me in.

*nods* (figuratively, and literally....).

Awesome! Can we bring our OD&D characters into your WDR dungeon?

Hey, sure man - I'll draft up some new areas and run it as S&W White Box or even just use your Planet Eris rules.

How would you do transitions between rotations, Jimm? Either switch after a TPK, have the guys find a dimensional gate to a new dungeon whenever the DM gets tired, or just restart with new guys periodically?

At our all-night New Year's sessions, 3-4 hrs per DM seems to work out about right. We do use a "dimesional gate" sort of concept. There are guardians of the gates that allow the "sending" DM to restrict characters/items taken out of his campaign, while the guardians on the "receiving" DM's end can restrict what is brought into the his dungeon/campaign. Rarely do we actually restrict anything though, we pretty much let anything pass. (Although... the Angry Wizard barred my character's goblin slaves from entering his realm once. That was a bummer. Those goblin slaves can be handy!)

[Chainsaw]

Sounds good!

We'll have to bust capitalbill's chops on rotating into service. He's a great DM. Between now and then, we'll layer on the peer pressure and get him to stand at the ready as well.
