Happy to have yah aboard. My games sell out quickly as I try to get them up as soon as Reaper allows 3rd party games for the Con. Sundays are slow, so I'm not sure if I'll put up any games that day this time. I'm looking at probably 2 per day this time around. Overloading myself a little but like I said, I enjoying DMing at ReaperCon.

Can the gamemaster be bribed with sweet'n'salty fudge?

 

Just asking.

With the debacle with Southwest last month over the holidays, I'm sorta not looking forward to using them to book my flights this year. They are only up to August 14th right now, so I think sometime next month is when they'll cover the rest of the month (I recall booking my flights either in Feb or March last year). If anything I can always go American like in the past, thou I actually enjoy using SW, I just really don't want to deal with any major hassles during a major vacation.

 

All I know is I saw the boss had a '23 calendar on her desk, so soon it'll be up on the wall & I can write down my requests. I need one for next month (17 or 24) as I got my wife & I concert tickets over in Boise. March has my Portland/North Oregon Coast vacation request as well.

Well, this is a first; I have actually started my Open entry.  Usually this doesn't happen until July at the earliest, but I have grand plans this year and am getting motivated early. Going to paint Arakoth, my giant spider.  I posted a WIP in the the painting are if you want more details.  I'm already getting excited!

If yours looks half as good the inspiration piece, it'll be a stunner. Great example to draw from.

Concerns about airline cancellations & delays is why I drove last year. I really enjoyed it, but you are quite a bit farther away than I am.

Driving down would be nice, but the time consumed driving to & from is something I'd rather not do with my limited time off. Tbh, the only delay I experienced last year was at PHX coming home & it was like 15-20 min delay as we waited for the flight crew to debark one plane & get to ours. No biggie there.

 

Time has been put into the calendar! I requested Tuesday to Tuesday off this time around. Going back to work the day I came home, wasn't a fun thing to do & I don't want to do it this year.

So looking at the games I'm running, I don't think I can all of them that I want as I'd rather not run anything on Sunday. History shows nothing happens that day as far as rpgs go, at least for me, so it appears I'll be running 2 games per day from Thursday to Saturday. A total of 6 games, I don't mind that, I just gotta figure out what game I'm toss out of the selection I have planned now. A couple of games are simple affairs that I think won't go the time limit I've set, which is 4 hrs each, with one game I've set at 5 hrs.

 

Looking forward to running these adventures & tbh, I'm actually looking forward to the prep or at least continuation of the prep, as RCon games actually make me want to paint & such. Weekly game(s) don't give me that due to the time between games.

I heard that they are not using growti this year, but has anyone else seen the official notice of when the dates are?

 

Con date should be the same, Labor Day weekend, Aug 31-Sept 3.  They have a contract with the hotel.  I expect the room block will go twice as fast this year.

Correct,  Blowtix is gone! I have no idea what the replacement is & Inarah is correct on the dates,Weds (tech Thursday) before Labor day.

It looks as if the replacement is Tabletop.events, a system designed for game cons.  I've used it since 2014 for local cons, in fact just bought tickets for a March event yesterday. It's super easy and intuitive.  Events are laid out in an easy to read format, you can search by time, date, or keyword, and look up your badges and event tickets. It's easy to buy for family or gift tickets to friends, etc.  Nothing official has been announced.  Ron said last night that the only news is that "there is no news".  But this is what they talked about using.
