I know it's unlikely, but if you think you could show up, I'd go ahead and take Saturday off work. A little gaming and partying on Saturday, not too hard core hardcore as I'd have to be at work on Sunday night and I don't recover from hangovers like I used. It's $10 for the Con and we could split a double-bed room fare for the night.

I'd like to, but I can't commit to anything until I know what my course load will be like next year. Chances are high that I'll be limited to summer excursions.

S'awright. I'll just plan on Friday. If something comes up let me know. I can take emergency measures. Just going to Toledo for just one day always strikes me as a waste. I used to waste so many weekends there already.

Isn't it going to be a little tough to get there, get registered, and find the table by 3:15 PM on Friday? I'm working until 12:30 that day. And did you really mean to schedule five hours (okay, almost five, since it's not starting on the hour) for Tunnels: The Hacking?

This convention is this weekend.

And no events are starting before 5pm it would seem. But we have to get the gears connected to our engines.

Lest we forget our camera batteries and my razor.

Well the convention is well under way. Took two hours longer than it should've to get things rolling, and a legal pad would have helped avoid some of the bugs in the "paperless" administration of the event.

We ran the T&T game, but it started too late for the WHAP! or Peryton games. I dunno if we should try to run something tomorrow or just go with friends' games.

Laggy, er Tom

Quotes of the Con so far,

"Me: ( for the 114th time of the game) Write your XP down.

Jerry: (smiling patiently) So you like want me to write my XP after every successful roll then?..."

later...

" Peryton locks the door with that special brass thingy latch on every hotel door these days.

Peryton: Gotta keep those damned ninjas out. You know how bad they get.

Me: At least they're quiet about things. Not like those damned Vikings and barbarians cavorting about all the time.

Peryton: Yeah, they are pretty quiet..."

Second day of BASHCOn went well. Despite a snow storm, Peryton and I made it to a GammaWorld game with time enough for grabbing some coffee and sweets before the start of festivities. The GM turned on the "old-school" energy from get go. He talked about how Gamma' has no alignments, and pulled out a two foot tall, wooden GM screen with at least 55 charts on the inside. In-color hydrogen explosion photos adorned the outside along with 1950's adds for home fall-out shelters. I was a bit worried as I thought he was going to let the charts and his own massive Skills List run the game, but when he saw the players get warmed up he basically sat back and just guided us with a nudge every now and then. His 20 y/o daughter was there, which made me jealous as my own 17 y/o has been poisoned by her mother against anything weirder than Smallsville.

Later I spoke with a the guy who ran "Cthulhu Over Sesame Street" last June at Origins about possibly being his Assistant-GM in an "Iron GM competition," this year. Picked up 1985's Oriental Adventures for some research for T&T's 7plus Specialist Types, and bought my second 100-sided die ever-- Pery played with it like a cat for an hour. Wrapped things up by 7pm and did pizza, writing, and the Sci-Fi Channel movie back at the hotel. Already thought of an excuse to swing by later today for a quick look around before heading home, and then to work... oh the dreadful horror.

Quote of the day:


"Peryton: ... I shut off the computer so get off my case!

Me: You still have your super-dooper cell phone!

Peryton: Yes I do. And there's nothing you and your ninjas can do anything about it..."

Hey Tom,

Its me Jeff the Gamma World GM. LOL I have an id on the forum but every time I send you a message it tells me to retry, I do and it takes me into the forums. Am I doing something wrong? Also I am so glad that my daughter (20)and my son (19) are into rpg's. My daughter wants to run a serenity game next year at Bashcon. I thought wow that would be cool. I am really glad that everyone at my game enjoyed it. I think I had just as much fun running it as you guys did playing it. We had some really good role players. Plus I think I will continue from where we left off in Bellview next year. Let me know about those messages. Hopefully you get this post. My next step is to use your email address....LOL...That I should have used to start with. Jeff

Hey there Jeff. I dunno if you're doing something wrong. I'll throw the question over to Peryton (Robin). It's probably me. I rarely notice when I have messages pending, ask Pneumonica here about that, he attest to my hard-of-hearing. I check my email like a chore as is, so bulletin-board posting (forum posting) is the easiest way to catch my attention to begin with. Still if the fora's messaging is whacked then it should be fixed.

Tell Sarah that we'd love to play in her Serenity adventure. I buy Serenity RPG and fiction for my brother-in-Law each Christmas. Though I doubt he'll make it, it'd be nice to play in the setting.

I can't wait for the sequel to this year's GammaWorld adventure. As a GM you really did a good pulling both the system and the atmosphere together. If you get it or others done before BASHCon next year, let us know, we'll make a weekend roadtrip to a neutral spot and playtest it for you.

Laggy, er Tom

Robbbbbbbiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnn!

Is there something wrong with the messaging or is it the effects of laggotropic radiation?
