    My expectations are to chuck some dice, drink some beer, and have a glorious death if it comes to that. My con style is very much banzai. Ain't got time to build a character path only a path of mayhem and fun (see handy attacking a dinosaur and my monk turning a pot of rice into a deadly, improvised weapon).

    What? Me worry?

    I wanted to, but our Thurs games overlap (12-4) and your Friday game (2-6) overlaps with Prata's game (12-6), which was my number one priority this year because it's been on my list for a few years. Once the dust settles, you and capitalbill and I should do a Hyperborea game day here in Charlotte. I think I know a couple of other guys who might be able to do a one-off. Anyway, looking forward to meeting you in a few weeks.

    We have the same style!

    Re: Gary Con VIII (2016)

    I actually got into everything in my cart. Weird, right? My friends/players coming along were not at all so lucky. A couple of them got into nothing at all. Others are mixed.

    Basically, I'm holding on to everything I got into and will give it all to my friends if they want it, esp. since most have never been to a con and I want them to have a good time. I want to hang on to Grodog's CH-1 game because I've wanted to game with him for a long while. And if at all possible, I want to play a session of Marvel Super Heroes because I'm an enormous nerd.

    So everything's a bit up in the air until the next checkout process happens. Right now, I'm in Chainsaw's game on Friday, but I'll give it up if one of my players wants it, figuring we'll get together and game at some point.

    Made it into Jeff's games Thu. and Sat. and again will end up giving those away to my players.

    Made it into Morgan's games Thu. morning and Fri evening. I'm trying to hang on to one of those, Morgan!

    And made it into Eli's game Sat. morning.

    But like I said, no idea what I'll end up actually in since I want to make sure these guys get into things they wanted.

    Bill, one of my good friends is in the Ice Fall game, too! Should be a blast. I went through it carefully and took out all the treasure and gave the monsters extra mouths.

    SavageGM, one of my players got into one of your sessions, I'm pretty sure.

    Look, that dinosaur needed some taking down a peg. And so did that kitchen staff!

    Never mind cons.  I prefer that players adopt this style all the time.

    Well, I'm a bit handicapped since I wasn't raised around horse traders, steel workers, and other bull s*** artists. My wise-cracking game isn't as polished as some. :-)

    Just got back to my computer. I see that your games are sold out. Ah well, I'll probably take handy up on his offer for your Friday night game.

    My fear is that when they eliminate duplicate purchases sold out games will be no longer sold out.  Though I believe there are quite a few folks still to buy their first game.

    I *think* that the duplicate purchases are only in those games that have changed numbers of tickets and weird data associated with them. If your games still says 8 seats, or whatever, I think it's OK. Though, please, let's face facts. I have no idea.

    There are a lot of cool-sounding games left with tix, though. Allegedly! Allegedly!

    Not fretting over it but I wonder as a gold ticket purchaser if there will actually be gold games to purchase with my treasure particularly since I am limited to fewer sessions by running.  Are there enough gold sessions to use up the gold purchased?  Probably go back to a basic ticket next year....
