I believe that 5:00 p.m. is the time we're trying for on Thursday.

I signed up for a foam fighting tournament hosted by Edhellen at 4pm on Thursday. It's supposed to run for 2 hours. If I don't get eliminated right away/end up being there until around 6, is there someone I can call or someplace else I can meet the group? I'm assuming that the RPPR crew will have moved on from Embassy Suites by then and I'd love to get in on the DG/Assassins game.

Well as a suggestion, if any RRPR fans going to the meet up with us would like to PM me their cell numbers I can send out a mass text letting you know when we are meeting at the Embassy Suites/where we will got to afterwards.

Edit:  Okay, I have two people down for the text reminder.  If anybody else would like to have it just remember to PM before Thursday morning. I'll have my iphone on me so I should be able to do last minute additions to the list.

So all you assholes better think of me since I'll be proctoring a final tomorrow, grading papers this weekend, and changing poop-filled diapers instead of leaving for Indy.

Why does my printer need the magenta ink tank filled before it will print my boarding pass in black and white?  Did I fail a skill challenge somewhere?

If you have an ink jet printer, sometimes they flip out if they don't have the right type of cartridges.

Well, we're in town now, at the Sleep Inn near the airport. If anyone has any ideas on stuff to do, give me a call at the phone number listed as my YIM address in my profile. (If you can figure out my super sneaky code)

Been town since this morning. Woke up way too early this morning to catch the flight. And then walked around all day in the freaking hot heat ( and I am from Hotlanta ). I think I am going to bed early since I have an 8 AM don't rest your head game. Looking forward to tomorrow night!  See y'all then.

Well, that was fucking awesome. Great to see Ross, Tom, and all the other RPPR fans. Even got to see Jason for an hour or so. I am definitally going to have to try and track them down again before GenCon is over. Ross runs a good game, even with totally run away crowd of over fed, up too late gamers.

Big thanks again to Ross for entertaining us at Gen Con. Operation Endgame was funny and enjoyable even if I got taken out early. Aaron of all people was the one to initiate the PvP. I was proud. Afterward, Ross ran a brutal Delta Green scenario (seriously, ask him about Artifact Zero sometime and he'll explain) for some of us afterward was also a good time.

I didn't end up having the funds to BUY ROSS' BOOK but I did get the chance to talk with Scott Glancy and get a half-priced copy of the Delta Green core book, which rocked.

Also I'm gonna plug the Jenga-based horror game Dread for anyone who doesn't know about it. I played in a session of it on Saturday night and it was amazing. There were six players and we all got really into our characters/the scenario. Hell, I'd be willing to run one for next year's Gen Con if there's another RPPR meetup.

The Arc Dream people were all raving about Fiasco so the RPPR crew is definitely going to try it
