MADMANMIKE, :D yes, for several reasons.

Shinitenshi, Yes! I'm dieting the whole month leading up to the Open House, so I can do some serious damage while I'm there. :o

Coming alone. Hoping to meet some peeps. As such, I throw my dice into the ring for Thursday night. Anyone need a player?

We'll be glad to have you! Any game would be fine, but you can consider this a formal invitation to mine if you like (whichever of the three I'm running - they haven't put up the schedule yet).

Thank you kindly. Should I make a character or will you have pre-gens? Or would you like someone to help pre-gen a few?

I guessed. Since I don't work again until Saturday, I figured I would offer to make a few for anyone out there who may need assistance with character generation. I am cheap (read "free and bored") and willing to help out as needed. :?

I have one game, set in the city of Center on Phase World in the Three Galaxies setting that I am asking people to bring their own characters for. Click HERE for more details on the game and the types of characters I'd love to see people to bring. I'll also be bringing some generic pre-gens for this game for those who don't have their own, but I can pretty much guarantee they won't be as cool as one you'd make yourself.

For my other games there will be pre-generated characters provided. I wouldn't turn down any help you'd like to give in making the pre-gens :D - send me a Private Message if you'd like (and if you have World Book 22: Free Quebec).

Crap! Crap! Crap! *Long list of explicitives!*

Um ... I mean ... Greetings and Salutations. :P For those that haven't guessed by my opening, I'm going to have to cancel my attendance at the Open House (including VIP night). Financially it's better (because I get to save the money I'd have spent on the trip) but ... alas, work needs me (which means more income as well). *Sigh.* I tried to get out of it, but necessity. An assignment came up that they need for from May 3rd through May 5th. Aint that same ****?! *Mumbles and grumbles.* Anyways, sorry I'll miss everyone. Hope everyone has a great time, and know that I'll be there in spirit. I wish you all well. Farewell and safe journeys for now.

We'll be getting there fairly late Wednesday (me, wife, and 11 year old son). Depending on exactly when we get in we'll probably be a little too hashed for a full-blown game - driving up from Texas - but might be able to give you a sneak-peek/play a round of the Rifts-based Board Game I'm bringing up. One of the character classes you could play would be a Glitter Boy... :eek: :lol:

There's a fair number of us planning on going to a midnight showing of the Avengers movie. You're definitely invited to come along if you want Jorel.

I going to stay close to the hotel, in case my wife needs help with the kiddos. Also she'd be super jealous if I went without her. I do want to see the movie, but I'm not an opening weekend kind of guy either.
