You and I will work SOMETHING out for next year. Maybe we rent a really large SUV type vehicle and that way we have room for our mutual need for more stuff!!!

Yes, but we're thinking about bringing the twins, my daughter, and any of my gamer group I can convince. I'm thinking full-sized van with a large luggage rack.

Either that, or we drive two vehicles and indeed caravan. Either way, we have a year to firm up who all will be coming. It will once again be epic, and this time I won't have to deal with airlines, the TSA, or THEIR flight schedules.

For years, I have combed the Adoption Table, looking for old minis... minis I had and lost, minis I wanted but never got.... old minis, minis from the dawn of time, minis from before the oceans drank Atlantis.

This year, Inarah very kindly sold me her collection of old Grenadier boxed sets. Eleven of them, still in the boxes with the original paper inserts, all still in fine condition. Some of the first minis I ever owned, mine again. So this year I didn't hit the melt table as hard.

It was hilarious. A young lady was furiously combing the table... looking for old Ral Parthas and Grenadiers, as she apparently refurbishes them and sells them for ridiculous money on eBay and suchlike. And so, whenever I found something that WOULD have been a treasure to me last year or the year before, I'd wave it at her and say, "Here you go, got a use for this?"

Surreal.

Shabang and Adrift.... I have a Yukon XL, seats seven, or fewer for more stuff.....

Between that, and the glass van (either the current one, or the larger one we hope to replace it with) that might be enough. Probably. I'm kind of a rabid fanboi* now, and plan on proselytizing almost as hard as Buglips.

-DD

 

*with the understanding that other companies exist and can be awesome, and have their uses; they're just not as cool as Reaper.

ETA: For those that don't hang out in the HA board, I'm Shabang over there. FYI before you go looking for that Shabang-fellow on Reaper.

Bonwirm I know you're in the Carolinas so that's do-able for sure. I can't remember what part of Canada you're out of buglips, but you're welcome to caravan or carpool with us any time!

 

 

I'm going to show up at Reapercon and be completely normal and disappoint everybody.

That's what we ALL do.

 

What, just because we're gamers, we're supposed to be maladjusted freaks? One of the bizarre things about Reapercon is that EVERYONE THERE is just an ordinary person letting their geek flag fly... but they are ordinary people.

 

Been going for five years, and I have not SMELLED a single person yet (except for the occasional woman wearing a pleasant perfume).

 

Only con I've ever attended at which I could truthfully say that.

Just show up and be yourself. That's all anyone would want.

I was being ironic. ::P: I'd lay pretty good odds that somebody's going home from this with a story.

"...and that's why I'm banned from the entire state of Texas. For life."

You have to pee on the Alamo to do that.

 

Or invade it.
