2014 Unnoficial Palladium Open House!

[rat_bastard]

OK, so next year there is no scheduled open house and several of us have decided that this will not do. So we are doing another camping Open house with a possible* visit to the Pally Offices for another get together. Like before we will be staying at the somewhat crappy but workable Monroe county KOA.

Last year a good ten people signed up and only 5 showed up, leaving us holding the costs for five people, most of which did not pay us back for their end of the costs. As a result, we are not footing the bill for anyone this time around. If you want to come, rent lodging at the KOA yourself, and we will all make use of whatever furnishings are available.

If I can afford to, I shall be there. Won't know til we're a bit closer to that date.

[Josh Hilden]

I am a tentative yes ...

An actual author? Awesome!

[Jorel]

Bonus points.

I believe as a part of the group it was $100 for 2 nights. I'd guess slightly more than that.

[Razzinold]

Best thing is to check their website, it all depends on what you are booking.

I booked one in Niagara Falls (Canadian side) for me, the wife and two kids (the little cabin with no fridge or bathroom, one double bed and a bunk bed) and it cost $129.95 for 1 night.

Perhaps I am blind... but what is the exact date of this event?

[Jorel]

I don't think it has been decided. I will post here or ratty will when it is decided. Usually around the last week in April or 1st week in May.

That might actually work...

[Jorel]

Awesome.

[rat_bastard]

Discussions are in place to OH 2014, same time (first weekend of May), same place (cheap campground with cabins near Pally Books).

[Jorel]

The location was good enough. Close enough. Cheap enough. I liked it. This time let us be more efficient about sleeping space and consider securing an indoor gaming spot like an extra cabin near the outdoor one. Or a giant tent.

[malbane]

Sounds like fun, how much gaming did you folks do last year?

[Jorel]

Not as much as we like. My kids were an interference and there were only a few of us.

[Jorel]

On too of that I shall bring Resident Evil cards and hopefully play in all 3.

May 1-4 2014 is the Unofficial Fan Open House. Respond on the Facebook page if you plan on attending.

[gottork1967]

new to this but curious, why dont they do one every year?

[Jorel]

It takes away from production so we arrange something so fans can still get together and they don't have to put in any work other than to entertain us for a few hours should they choose to.

[Jorel]

We have word from the folks at Palladium that they are open for a visit from us to the Palladium Warehouse and Offices. All we need to do now is find out how many plan on attending. If you are interested please RSVP on the Facebook page so we know your intent. Sooner is better than late.

less than 3 months away

[keir451]

I would like to make it this time, and I may be able to as my situation may be a bit less stress filled this time around . The enxt month or two will tell.

[Spinachcat]

How did it go?

Any pics?

[Spinachcat]

That's a shame. I really like the concept of an Unofficial Palladium Con.

I would love a good solid weekend of PB only RPG playing...and beer.

What do you think is needed to make it happen?

What it needs is more participation here on the forums.
All of the main forums, especially relating to the MAs should
have someone who is available to check the forum on a daily basis,
answer questions, and post updates.

MA topics, Open House, and Gen Con should get more attention
than what they do.

I am sure if more people knew, they would have participated. Including myself.
Heck I even like KOA camp grounds.

I check the following regularly-

When it is my "official" quarter, as it is now, there is not a 48 hour period that I do not check.

Well, hopefully your next one will go better.
