Hey, Bill. My games tend to be full up, but I'll try to have a character or two extra available in case you're interested. FYI, I'm running all the sessions of The Nemo Diaries at GenCon. Victorian Pulp FTW!

Bounty BaboonBill · « **Reply #103 on:** April 26, 2010, 05:55:03 pm »

That's awesome, Nestor! We are sitting down tonight to see what we want to do. There will be a lot of Pathfinder Society, as those generally will allow for many players. We will try to party-crash one of your games if you have any room for doing so.

It looks like Dave's wife will not be comign after all, and we're mulling over driving over all three days we plan on going instead of renting a hotel for one night. It will probably be cheaper (if more tiring).

Still plan on a Sunday morning game with you, BZ. What time do you want to sleep in until? We won't bother you and the LadyZ until you are ready..

Besides, we will be driving back in again in the morning for it.

LadyZerka · « **Reply #104 on:** April 27, 2010, 01:32:17 pm »

I think we have any time available on Sunday. Check with the boss though.

How long is your commute? Lori and I can be ready at 8:00am, 10:00am, and so on... What works for you?

>GENCON<
Dave and I have finalized our GenCon planning! We will be driving out to Indy (and back) on Friday for one game, then heading back early early Saturday morning and staying overnight Saturday.

We currently have three Pathfinder games already purchased: Friday 1 PM-6PM, Saturday 8AM-1PM, and 7PM-Midnight. That leaves us 6 hours to browse the retail floor on Saturday afternoon, purchasing goodies and drooling over wishful purchases. We'll head back to the hotel after midnight, and be fresh for the gaming Sunday morning. Whatever time you guys want! Maybe 9ish? Give us all enough time to sleep in a little and eat breakfast? (or brekfisk as my kids say)

Faepookah, we'll be sure to stop by and say hi at the booth.

Azreih, unfortunately all the slots of your Pantheon game that still have tickets available are during our already scheduled times. Any interest in getting together on Sunday? Maybe we all could get together for a Pantheon game after Nestor finishes his morning game? I dunno, just spitballing ideas here..

I still need my revenge on Nestor for stealing my win on Cthopoly. >

>ORIGINS<
My wife has a week long spirituality class this week, so as of right now I am definitely coming up on Saturday and probably on Sunday. Maybe Friday after she finishes he last class. I'll be bringing my 16 yr old nephew up for some Pathfinder goodness on Saturday and the Sunday if he wants, but no tickets have been purchased yet.
Maybe we can get in on a Penguins game at Origins? I have to call him and discuss what he wants to do..

PS: I may have a working and playtested version of my FATE game ready by Origins or Gencon if any want to give it a whirl. Working title is Halcyon: Shattered Reality.

LadyZerka · « **Reply #107 on:** April 28, 2010, 04:38:24 pm »

I can not wait for all of this interaction we are planning. It will be so nice seeing evryone again. Meeting new folks is nice to.

santoscaine · « **Reply #108 on:** April 28, 2010, 08:10:12 pm »

Definitely looking forward to the Sunday morning madness! I want to use all the ammo! All of it! Santos Caine rides again!

BTW- I saved the character I ran at last years Gen-Con game you guys let us join! I'll be using him again if that's alright!?! I hope so- he's was a fun one to run! At least maybe this time I won't have to worry about someone hiding their gummy worm stash in my ammo hoppers...

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #109 on:** April 28, 2010, 09:41:07 pm »

Sweet! I look forward to it as well - we can get a sunday game in at both cons too - starting with origins

Also, using a previous BHB character should be fine

BZ

FaePooka · « **Reply #110 on:** April 29, 2010, 10:39:01 pm »

Sounds like you guys are planning a lot of funness. My schedule is pretty full everyday.

The booth working day is just Sunday. All day. We'll probably not have much time afterwards since we'll have to start the drive home. Maybe time for dinner.

Looking forward to you all stopping by the FDG booth and saying hi to the hard working Pooka....and buying stuff. Don't forget to buy stuff!

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #111 on:** April 30, 2010, 09:21:01 am »

That reminds me FaePooka , do you have all the figurines you'll need for your games? It seems I have just come into a large collection of them, should you need any

BZ

FaePooka · « **Reply #112 on:** April 30, 2010, 01:04:19 pm »

I used mostly mine and Jay's figures for my game. And unless I am mistaken I think I still have them all. But I will let you know as soon as I look and see what's what.

LadyZerka · « **Reply #113 on:** April 30, 2010, 04:40:52 pm »

I do not want to sound crabby, but I surely hope that we do not have to dig through that collection you all speak of. It took weeks to find them a home

FaePooka · « **Reply #114 on:** April 30, 2010, 05:13:44 pm »

Don't worry. If digging needs to be done I will do it

LadyZerka · « **Reply #115 on:** May 03, 2010, 06:57:40 pm »

Careful what you wish for, our basement is a dungeon. Haunted I tells ya!

I can not keep off of the origins site. It has that timer to countdown the days. That is when my vacation starts. WELL NEEDED and deserved I might add. Full time CNA, 4 kids, college student, etc. You get the picture!!!!

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #116 on:** May 04, 2010, 10:31:58 am »

I see that the Origins Site finally has the Event Charts up (currently for viewing only though)

BZ

Bounty BaboonBill · « **Reply #117 on:** May 04, 2010, 02:50:26 pm »

Yarp. I hope to get me and mah nephew in a game of yours, BZ!

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #118 on:** May 05, 2010, 09:05:53 am »

I definetly look forward to it

BZ

LadyZerka · « **Reply #119 on:** May 08, 2010, 08:03:40 pm »

When can we finally sign up is what I want to know?!

I see some potential fun to be had and it is still out of reach. Shame shavings on Origins!!!!!!

Bounty BaboonBill · « **Reply #120 on:** May 10, 2010, 02:02:01 pm »

Talked to Tyler on Saturday, and he's totally psyched for a BHB Game. He's a fan of the source material.

LadyZerka · « **Reply #121 on:** May 10, 2010, 07:26:40 pm »

I can hardly stand the anxiety of waiting!!!!!! I need away from this house soon. What better way to do it than to go and "Be All You Can Be!". Not the ARMY silly, THE CON'S !!!!!!!!!! Everyone knows that

Can you tell I am stressed?

Nestor · « **Reply #122 on:** May 10, 2010, 09:45:38 pm »

Relax. Lady Z.

Remember, stress is only the confusion created when one's mind overrides the body's basic desire to choke the living daylights out of some jerk who desperately deserves it.

That's the nice thing about roleplaying games - you can go right ahead and choke the living daylights out of 'em if you want

oooh, critical hit! - *Throttle throttle - Erk...*

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #125 on:** May 13, 2010, 11:53:45 am »

I hope we can register for Origins events soon - I've put quite a bit of thought into hashing out a schedule of my free time slots, so Lady Z and I can game together in other games. I can't wait too

BZ

LadyZerka · « **Reply #126 on:** May 16, 2010, 06:27:01 pm »

I looked at the Origins page and it is so damn confusing. Thank goodness BZ seperates things because i would not find a thing.

LadyZerka · « **Reply #134 on:** May 26, 2010, 05:34:14 am »

I call Kowalski

He's my favorite!

That is considering I can get in of course. I have so many schedules for two conventions that I am at a total loss!

Now all we need is someone who can out-Shatner Shatner to play Skipper and we can drive BZ up the wall!

LadyZerka · « **Reply #139 on:** May 26, 2010, 06:14:51 pm »

Origins is my favorite of the two conventions and it is the worst for registering. It sucketh I tells ya.

If anyone is desperate enough to have some spare time filled up, I bought Redneck Life and I have yet to play it. A late night game anyone? One night Cthopoly......one night Redneck life perhaps?....

Any takers?

Rbree · « **Reply #141 on:** May 28, 2010, 12:25:59 am »

I'm still in... though I haven't asked out neighbor to borrow her Spell and say yet. The boy (my son who is also playing) also wants to be Kowalski... but if you want to have us choose when we get there... or choose randomly that's OK too.

LadyZerka · « **Reply #142 on:** May 28, 2010, 10:12:15 pm »

Rbree, are you a Gen Con or origins person?

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #143 on:** May 31, 2010, 08:25:52 am »

I bought a paper chopper to help cut and paste all my tactical maps - it's cool as heck!

Lady Z... Sort of both. I'll be at origins but am signed up to play in the Saturday night Game at Gencopn. I'll be at origins strictly as a spectator... no games for me there at all.

BZ is putting a lot of organization and preparation into these games for the cons. I hope everyone appreciates the quality of the character sheets and maps and such.

He goes all out for these ordeals. I am getting very excited to play games, it is time for the reality break. Anyone that is playing BHB games I guarantee you will have a blast. Great GM and fun adventutres. There are some I have yet to play as well and I live with him, so I am looking forward to seeing the top secret adventure I can,t read yet

I just playtested my new Conan session this week. Got good feedback and now just have some tweaking to do. Other than doing some printouts and a few Fat Dragon prop builds I am all set!

*sigh of relief

Bring on GenCon!!

By the way, don't forget to come see me at the booth on sunday, I have my costume idea set and it should be pretty kick ass.
