Probably late wednesday, I think. Depends on the drive time and how much sleep we need. Thing about long range travel: you have to get it just right. If I show up earlier than my hotel check in time than I got shit all to do til then.

Hey all,

Longtime RPPR listener, but newbie to the forums here...

The lil' lady and I will be at the SpringHill Suites...Can't beat free breakfast, free internet, large rooms, reasonable rates and being right next door to the new JW Marriott where they will be running a lot of games this year...

The main disadvantage: The sweaty-ass walk to the main Con floor and just about any game NOT held in the JW Marriott. I'll be showering twice a day, bringing 3 extra sticks of deodorant and perhaps a 'cologne squirt gun' to help offset that...

Yep! Got my wishlist mostly done...One thing I'd like to know, though:

Are any RPPR people other than Ross going to be running games there? If so, who and what?

Don't pee your pants! Unless you are into that, then pee away!

It's my second Gen Con, and first time with the S.O...So it'll be weird to have definitive proof that there ARE cool female gamers!

Looks like Caleb Stokes and Aaron Carsten will also be running games.

Caleb is running  *Dirty World: Dangers of Fraternization and Aaron is running some Monsters and Other Childish Things games.  Those are the ones I know about.

I can't be in Caleb's game because both days he's starting just before I have to run games. I'm going to be very mature about this and make sure that all my players drink far too much and catcall the players at Caleb's table. And I'm going to try for Aaron's game to see if I can hang with any other RPPR fans.

I'll be running eCollapse, one of the Wild Talents alternative settings so if anybody wants to play a hypocritical, unstable, possibly drugged up "super hero" than their welcome to check out "Save your own Hyde".

I am down to 35 events on my wish list, but I haven't scoured the event catalog yet.  Needless to say there are some conflicts.  Would the RPPR meetup be after the DG & The Unspeakable Oath seminar on Thursday night ( 8 - 10 )?

Last year we did it more like six or seven and then we all got food before the game. I figured it'd be similar this year.

With all the arcdreamers in the crew, I didn't know how many would be going to that.  We didn't really get into the gaming until later anyway.  Gotta keep Aaron away from that limoncello stuff.  It turned him into a homicidal maniac.

I might be able to get into your ecollapse game.  Have to see how it all comes together ( or falls apart ) on Sunday.

Dammit! I'll be doing a 7-Midnight game on Thursday! :-(

Assuming that one doesn't slip away from me during registration.

In any case, I'm going to try to get into an RPPR Alumni game or two. I will be the bouncer looking guy who is NOT a spontaneous masturbator.

Er, I mean...whose CHARACTER is not a spontaneous masturbator.

Welp, I just whiffed on all five games I tried to buy tickets for. I hope y'all are friendly; I'll need people to wander around aimlessly with.

My games had yet to sell out as of a few seconds ago. Quick! Sell them out! Go now!

Aaron's game is sold out but I got a ticket. Ha! Also got into one of the Eclipse Phase games I wanted so I'm 66% on my list.

As long as you don't mind hanging out with big guys in hawaiian shirts I'll be happy to wander around with ya Caleb. What where you trying to get into?
