Corinthi's "Inglorious Bast-Orcs", Slot 4: Though we are both from the same time, it's been many years since we gamed at the same table. It was an absolute blast, and I get to make "my nuts in Azhrei's mouth" jokes as a result.

Dan's Transformers, Slot 2: I really did have a blast. Get it?

Slot 1: Mikel Dont rest your head. Gettin gin this game was worth the wait. FUCK ATLANTA!

Slot 3: Ruben (Save vs DM) Dresden game was an absolute blast. we all got to be awesome and my Werebear character is someone I'd love to play again.

Slot5: Sandpunk: He brought the pony love hardcore and kept it flowing and organized.

Slot 1: Le Havre game showed me how I should be teaching board games. I took some of the principles and applied them to my FRAG game later in the day, and it went much smoother than the other times I've taught that game. Thanks, you helped a fellow boardgamer learn to teach others more effectively.

Slot 2: Churcher did an incredible job managing the chaos in the Traveller game.

Slot 4: It's hard to have a GM in a GM-less game like Montsegur, so I'm just going to say all of us were wonderful GMs, perhaps nearing the zenith of perfection.

All the games I played in were just awesome.

Slot 1: The Savage Worlds Ragnarok game with the traveling carnival was a lot of fun. The GM handled our insanity really well and I got to play a dancing bear who wears a tutu and communicates through drawing.

Slot 4: Ashley - Great job keeping on your toes and rolling with us. It was a very smoothly run game. I figured you had this all planned, but if I remember correct, you had to create quite a bit on the fly. Makes me want to watch the 10th Kingdom again.

Slot 5: Adam - Loved the pirates game. The setting is very interesting and has a lot of potential. The characters provided were unique and could be mined quite a bit. Plus - who could hate on a pirate. Please run a sequel next year.

Slot 6: Chris - Although the blessed went a little OP, the magic system concept is truly unique and I really look forward to the released version. The game was fun and a great way to end the con.

Looking forward to seeing you all next year!

Yes, there was certainly a brawl.

Slot 1: I loved every moment I was on monster island. Aron did a great job of facilitating our paranoia and tendency to overplan while keeping the game moving!

Slot 2: Ogreteeth's insane world was wacky and his npc interaction made the game. Especially when he had the "relationship" argument where he played Prince Eric and Bob Arens played Ariel. Jerry Springer show, followed by a makeout session in a cage. He also indulged my tendency to by mindfully (not mindlessly) ultraviolent and sociopathic when playing a tank.

Slot 3: the players in my Furry Ninja Pirate Victoriana Steampunk Space Opera...with Robots and Magic... game helped to quickly create a believable world out of so much potential chaos. It was amazing and remarkable that so much could happen in so little a time. It was truly a collaborative game, even if the players didn't always have the same goals, and they were as much responsible for that as I was, if not more so.

Slot 4: The same can be said for my Skies of Glass game. I was completely out of my comfort zone and the players' commitment to this horrifying world and the characters they were presented helped me stay on task and deliver what I hope was a truly engaging story, even if we did skip the big battle at the end...

Slot 5: Jeffrey Collyer provided us with a truly character driven story that provided many moments of cinematic connection between PCs. It was fun, and probably harder to organize than herding cats.

Slot 6: I had a perfect blend of players for Ghostbusters. Tjhey *were* the big 4. I could not have asked for more.


I only mentioned my games because, in every case the players contributed as much (or more) to the story than I did. They were my co-GMs. Great, fun games, and they should be bragged on for it.

In my Slot 1, I played "Penny For Your Thoughts" and while I cannot remember the gentleman's name, I do remember him telling me that that was his first con game. Good job for you, sir! Once we all got the hang of the system, it was all great fun! I have to say that we were a messed up bunch of characters.

In Slot 2, Churcher did an excellent job with his Traveller game. Not only did he handle 12 (freaking 12) rowdy players with finesse, but he spun an engaging story... and we got to kill the Space Pope. And steal his hat. (Chocolate! CHOCOLATE!) And I was able to play the computer hacker dude who got to hang back in the ship, hack stuff, shoot lasers at things, and hunt for rum. It was a great time.

In Slot 3, I didn't really have a "game" that I played in, but I'd still like to thank Too Tall for hanging out with me and teaching me to play Arkham Horror. It was great fun (and I was happy to finally meet someone more easily distracted than I am). I now really want to go and pick up a copy for myself!

Slot 4 was my game. It was my first time to run a game at a con and only my second time to ever run a game (the first time being the playtest of my con game) and I would just like to say, "Wow." You guys were awesome and really presented me with a challenge. You all definitely kept me on my toes ;) Thank you for a great time and for enduring the seemingly endless trans-dimensional hallways. And I have to say that the finale was freaking hilarious. I'm looking forward to running more games in the future.

Slot 6 was probably the most f***ed up game I've ever played in. Triggerhappy ran a very interesting game of "Everyone is John" which was made more interesting by the eclectic group of players. Honestly, there's no way to even summarize what all happened. But I was able to start my con and end my con with Runester's awesomeness, so I was happy. But props to Triggerhappy for keeping up with us, despite the fact that he had left his game notes back at home.

yeaahhhh. we were very, very bad people and did bad things and should feel bad about it. I did get to taste human flesh, though! Twice! :shock:

Some of my favorite moments had to do with "sleeve herpes" and Andrea (sp?) talking the cop into letting her give him a foot massage so she could lock him in the back of his own vehicle. It may take a year of penance before I'd be ethically allowed to play "Everyone is John" again. :?

Hey now, I think I was the nicest personality. All I wanted was some shiny stuff. Now, granted, I kept shouting encouragements, but the worst thing I probably did was stuff the dead girl in the closet.

But, yeah, that was hilarious. I wish I could remember all the messed up stuff we did. But the whole "Sleeve herpes" thing was probably my favorite. Along with the mental image of us running around with jewelry, purses and an aluminum foil hat setting people on fire and nomming on their body parts, giving cops foot massages, and infecting produce with airborne herpes.
