Nestor... you'd better not pull out of Penguins... I'm playing along with Nathan (your 1 boy fanclub) and we'd both be dissapointed if you werenm't at the table.

EDIT - moved into this thread from Community Conversation - BZ

I wouldn't try and take a seat away from anybody! If Dave and I are free, we'll just come by and listen in on all the fun.

I am suitably chastised and motivated to be there.

I shouldn't need much to get into the role:

"Skipper!"

Wasn't trying keep Bill out just keep nestor in. Hopefully some one will bow and Bill will get in. You can never tell with Saturday Night.

Just to let everyone who may not know in on the fun....

If you are coming to Indy early, there are FREE games being run pretty much all day Wednesday. Organized and sponsored by the Kentucky Fried Gamers. With the fantastic support of the restaurants - Ram Brewery and Scotty's Brewery.

Check out the GenCon forums, under the KFG for a listing of all the games/times/locations. Sign ups begin this weekend on the forums. There will be a separate thread for each game, simply make a post that you would like a seat. Games typically take 6 - 7 players. Once all the seats have been claimed the game is full.

You do not need to be a member of the KFG to join in the fun. All we ask is that if you sign up for a game YOU SHOW UP!! You WILL BE HEXED if you are a no show. If something happens that you can not make it please post so that someone else can take your seat.

Do ye happen to be a member of said KFG? I ask because I'll be trying to make the get-together at Scottie's on Wednesday (albeit late that day) as part of the Exile Games' GM troupe. Perhaps we'll meet there!

Nestor · « **Reply #207 on:** July 01, 2010, 10:08:28 pm »

Ooh! Ooh! I found episodes of the Penguins show on Hulu.com.

It's... RESEARCH TIME!!!

FaePooka · « **Reply #208 on:** July 01, 2010, 11:56:55 pm »

Yep Nestor! I am a proud member of the KFG. I am running a Conan d20 game on wednesday at Scotty's from 1-5pm.

So perhaps I will see you there. I am the only female GM at Scotty's (so far) so stop by and say hi!

Rbree · « **Reply #209 on:** July 02, 2010, 05:43:40 am »

Berka if you were going to be there early enough Wednesday we could possibly get you a space to run Penguins at Scotty's (yeah I'm KFG too) and Pooka does this mean I'll finally get to meet you too... after having you run in 3 of my online games?

Hmmm... we are comming in on Wednessday, but I can't say yes or no without giving it some serious consideration first. What is the timeframe at Scotty's? (Meaning from when to when will there be gaming?)

LadyZerka · « **Reply #212 on:** July 02, 2010, 10:36:55 am »

Wednesday is our day to relax before the con away from the kids and all, but I bet we could be persuaded to play something maybe

I want to play something with you fine group of people. Even a game of Cthopoly! Nestor..... I owe you a squamous blast or two. Think about that as well, if it can be scheduled somehow. Late night again or Wednesday or even Sunday. Anyone could play, it is fun, fun, fun

Rbree · « **Reply #213 on:** July 02, 2010, 11:30:03 am »

Berka we're games at the Ram fro 9-1 and 1-5. And at Scotty's from 1-5 with a party at Sctty's from 6 till whenever. Actuually I think there are couple of parties 1 Hosted by Fat Dragon Games/KFG and and and Exile Games Studio GM get together. So I'm thinking 1-5 at Scotty's or 2-6 would be the only really good slot. ANd if you don't want to run but are looking to play your welcome to sign up for anything... I think signups start tomorrow. Pookas running Conan and I'm running "Lost on Gilligan's Island of the Dammned"- Think Gilligan's Island/Lost/Cthulhu.

FaePooka · « **Reply #214 on:** July 02, 2010, 11:54:42 am »

Yes RBree I demand that we get to meet finally!! I owe you Pooka hugs. Looking forward to seeing the rest of you as well.

The Scotty's games are only running 1-5 pm. Probably because they have to do party setup after that. The KFG/Whos yer gamers/Fat Dragon party is from 8pm to 11pm.

I plan on running my game and then going back to my room for a nap before the party.

My voice and throat always gets trashed when I GM and it's even worse this year. I'm running 5 of them including the Scotty's one!! Errgh. Plus I talk VERY little now, being alone most of the day, so when I do have a conversation it tires my voice.

I'm going to have to start singing a little more each day up to the con or I will never make it.

FaePooka · « **Reply #215 on:** July 02, 2010, 12:06:10 pm »

Oh and by the by JP and Lori

We are going down to Indy on Tuesday night. Probably get there around 10pm or so. If you want to come in a night early so that you are there for all of the wednesday fun you can crash with me and Jay. We are in the Crowne for Tuesday night then we have to check out and move our crap up to the Sheraton for the rest of the nights.

We have a policy of not sharing hotel rooms during Cons with other people....but you guys for one night don't count for that

LadyZerka · « **Reply #216 on:** July 02, 2010, 02:24:34 pm »

FaePooka....We are completely honored

( tears of compassion of course

)We don't know if we can break away from the family a day early. The gramma will already have 4 kids for 5 days. She just made it through the Origins ordeal. Thanks for the offer, but we must decline

We are however coming Wednesday, we might consider getting together then.

FaePooka · « **Reply #217 on:** July 02, 2010, 03:05:35 pm »

Well the option is open to run a game at Scotty's if you'd like or join in mine at the RAM. Lost was hoot in the ply test. Plus there is a chance I'll e running It's the Great Cthulhu Charlie Brown... Peanuts Kids all growed up in the 20's at the reading of Grand Pa Van Pelts will. That would be Wednesday... Pookas out casue shes been Lucy.

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #224 on:** July 06, 2010, 11:20:27 pm »

I think I would like to bring my Cthopoly game (it runs about an hour to an hour and a half per game) on Wednesday. Think I would get any takers?

BZ

FaePooka · « **Reply #225 on:** July 07, 2010, 06:40:10 am »

Could be. You never know! I would bring it. There are ALWAYS no shows and if someone's game is canceled then it'd be nice for the GM to have something to play.

I'm torn between hoping more people sign up for my game so I can actually run it, and hoping no one else signs up so I can just play someone elses'. LOL

But mostly I hope I get some peeps. Cause an awesome lady signed up and I would love to run for her.

Time is flying and I am all twitterpated!!

It may have competition with other activities, but unless I'm dragged away I'm up for giving Lady Z a chance to pwn me.

At least now I know what to use to bribe the GM with if Lady Z runs another game.

These are not just any cheezy poofs I am talking about. These are Herr's Puff-n-Corn cheezy poofs. They leave one hell of an orange mess and they melt in your mouth just as styrofoam covered with a cheese substance would. They are the most addicting suckers I ever ate. I could be easily bribed, throw in a pepsi and some rainbow twizzlers and we can call it a dinner date ~!!!!!

Nestor · « **Reply #237 on:** July 14, 2010, 05:24:31 am »

Ow. You actually made my stomach hurt.

True story. Back in college, I stopped at the local drugstore the day after Halloween and picked up two bags of mellowcreme pumpkins and a gallon of milk. That evening, I did a marathon study session where I went through both bags and the whole gallon. Talk about stomach-turning.

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #238 on:** July 14, 2010, 10:24:38 am »

Ew

Reminds me of the time I went to a superbowl party where everyone was drinking beer. As the non-drinker, I brang a six pack of mountain dew and a six pack of dr. pepper. As the evening progressed, I slammed back six or seven cans (basically keeping up can-wise with the drinkers) and (as I rarely drink cafinated beverages), paid for it by staring wide-eyed and twitchy at the ceiling all night after I had gone home and went to bed. I did not even come near to dozing the whole night and had to work the next day

No excrement, Sherlock. I was handed a half-finished adventure to run at GenCon. I have to somehow get my butt in gear and finish the damn thing up, and I have chronic mogigraphia (damn, the FreeRice site does come in useful!) when it comes to writing adventures.

LadyZerka · « **Reply #243 on:** July 16, 2010, 08:38:03 am »

I got my tickets, but I am not sure I want to play everything I signed up for

I will not destroy someone's game though by not showing up. I have to do some calling off at work for this one. I could not get the days off I wanted because of elder seniors took it off as well. 15 years of service and I can not get a friggin' Thursday or Friday off. Oh well, I never call off so I have been saving it for the convention

Life is a beach I guess
