Assuming you used the same e-mail for GenCon you have listed on the forum, I just sent you a friend request.

I just saw an open ticket for the Wild Talents: Grim War Sat@4 ( RPG1010476 ).

We should try and schedule some sort of meetup at the con.  Maybe something outside of the normal gaming hours for some drinks? 

Like an idiot, I scheduled games for pretty much each slot thinking I can just not go if I want some time off.  But I don't see any that I don't want to play in.

Where do you want to meet up? I don't know any good places to get a drink in the convention area. If any of us are in close hotels, like all at airport hotels for example, than finding a common area would be pretty damn easy.

Or we could just pick a resturant that's less popular in the convention area and agree on a time to meet there. I only have like eight things scheduled over the whole four days, and I plan to be there on Wednesday before things get really rolling.

I'll google up a map with some pick spots.

yeah we need an 'official' RPPR meet up so everyone can meet us.

You can even touch Tom.

I haven't been before, so I don't know any good spots.  Some of us Atlanta locals tried to get together at DragonCon last year at the bar in the Marriott.  It was very difficult finding people in a packed bar that you didn't know.  And using some sort of "unusual" hat or clothing doesn't go over that well in a crowd of gamers and geeks.  Wearing Jayne's hat from Firefly was not as distinctive as it normally would be!

Tad and Artful, I sent you gencon friend requests.  I remember having to logout before being able to accept requests.  It was not intuitive at all.

"I can touch you... now!"

EDIT: Make Cody come.

I want to touch Cody the most.

But not in a gay way, of course.

I just figured out the way to find everyone.  It will be the group of people with a preponderance of M-51 messenger bags.

So we need something slightly unusual... but I don't want to look like a moron wandering around with a giant novelty flower or something. We might accidently start a trend and it'll be in the next crappy teen movie to come along.

How about an RPPR button or something? We can all get the dragon with orphan bane shirts. Or join team Screaming Pelican.

Divine Fire/Bell Island are already sold out! I should've known. Well, I love CoC so it's a given that I'm going to buy some generics.

I'd be on board for an RPPR meetup. It might be a good idea to set a time and meet in a nearby hotel lobby or something, then head out someplace else from there.

Asking around to get buttons made. I'll use some art from the KC Green banner

Meet me outside the assigned room ten minutes before the game starts. We'll see to it that two or three of the "official" players are "late" and then offer to fill the openings.

Sweet. I'm gonna wear one to every game I go to at my local game store.
