Sticks and Stones Con in Conn, 10/24

http://sticks-and-stones.net/

Anyone in New England or NY should try to make it to this. BigPerm and I are bringing a crew up from NYC (with special guest Ms. Haversack!). Our own Ghul is a special guest. I'll run the AS&SH Operation Unfathomable that a few of us played at GaryCon last March.

Excellent! I'll see you there, Handy. I submitted an AD&D event for slot 4 (5:30–10:30).

Wish I could go, but my parents visit that weekend. Have fun!

It's going to be a great time! I'm going to run Anthropophagi of Xamboola, one of the new adventures for 2016, by Corey Walden, and I'm hoping to get Tim Callahan there to run his Beasts of Kraggoth Manor.

Yup! Bringing the crew, too. I'll stop reading Corey's updates so I can play in your game!

I registered for this yesterday and will be making the long drive from VA on Fri: going to try and grab some henchman who still live in CT, and look forward to meeting some folks.

Re: Sticks and Stones Con in Conn, 10/24

Well, tomorrow is the day! I'll be running Corey Walden's "Anthrpophagi of Xamboola," and I can't wait! My event is sold out, but if you're in town and you're looking for some AS&SH action, my pal Mark is also running his AS&SH home-brewed adventure, "The Walking Dead." The title pretty much says it all. Excelsior!

Re: Sticks and Stones Con in Conn, 10/24

I'll be there, with one trusty henchman: looking forward to the adventure. 
Also got into DMPrata's game later today too, so life is good!

Re: Sticks and Stones Con in Conn, 10/24

Fantastic to meet and game with the esteemed Ghul, Handy, Bigperm and associated henchmen and henchfemmes yesterday...splendid time playing AS&SH and having a rollicking good time role-playing in Xamboola. Unfortunately ran out of time, but looking forward to the adventure when it's published.

Re: Sticks and Stones Con in Conn, 10/24

Thanks for the photo, Jeff. Maybe eyes open next time...

It was a pleasure meeting and gaming with you gents (and ladies). I hope everyone had a good time (even the poor vaporized dwarf).

Convention characters are like Rosencrantz and Guildenstern you know: it's all good! I was definitely reckless...

Re: Sticks and Stones Con in Conn, 10/24

It was good meeting you Rhialto. We still have the "take one for the team" bill to settle up.
I had a great time playing in Jeff's and DMPrata's games.
Wish we had more time to finish Anthrpophagi of Xamboola, it was starting to really get good.

Nice shirt in that pic Jeff!!

Rumor has it that no more exist for sale...? Because I did ask Jeff...

Indeed: your efforts nearly rivalled Kane's in one of the novels where he courts an undead sorceress of macabre mein!
