Excellent! Brent made it, I must have just missed him! Next to the Shaman is Jeff and he hosted last years meet. I am not sure of the names of the other two without taking a stab so I'll just say that they were a welcome addition and knew their stuff. I didn't get to meet some of the mid-day crowd, bummer. Thanks for your efforts!
ReplyDeleteTill next year!
The other two guys in my game came together (after, apparently, hearing about the event on Joe Goodman's site) and were named Rick and Gary, but I confess I don't remember which was which...
ReplyDeleteThanks for the pics! It's always good to put faces to the names delivering pixels to my glowing rectangle.
ReplyDeleteCannot ever remember a GM getting applause at the end of a game. Very well done Bob.
ReplyDeleteGoddamn tie dye makes me look huge. Would have worn black if I knew there would be pics!
Looks like a great time was had!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a blast: I'd love to make it out there, sometime :D
ReplyDeleteAllan.
Thanks for helping organize. I had a blast. Met a bunch of nice people and am looking forward to doing it again next year.
ReplyDeleteCool pics, looks like a good time! Hope we get a report of your GW game.
ReplyDeleteWhere was that one held? That venue looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteThat was hugely enjoyable! Thanks to everyone who made it happen. An awesome venue indeed.
ReplyDelete- Tavis
That was a great time guys. Thanks!
ReplyDelete@Cimm & Trent - Thanks for the name clarifications!
ReplyDelete@Brunomac - Thanks for the kind words, and please accept my apologies for the crappy photo of you. I was trying to include photos of as many people as possible, and that was the only one of you and Brent. Nick and Chris don't even really show up in any of the GW session photos.
@B. Portly - I'll try to get a Gamma World recap up sometime this week. In the meantime Brunomac posted a brief recap on the Temple of Demogorgon blog.
@mondbuchstaben - The event was held in a club house at a condo complex in Anaheim near Disneyland. It was a great space, but the afternoon noise levels got a little overwhelming with three large sessions going on simultaneously in the same room. Overall, it worked out quite well though. And it was free!
@Everyone Else - Thanks to all the DMs, players, and distant well-wishers! It was a fun fun day!
Nice to meet all of you at this year's SoCalMiniCon. I had a great time, and it was a blast playing in Trent's conversion of Gygax's Necropolis. Look forward to seeing all of you again next year.
ReplyDeleteFor anybody who played my OD&D game or wanted to - we may be doing more of it on the Saturday on or near Socal Smackdown Labor day weekend. If you are going to the con or are in the area let me know. Dungeon wallop!
ReplyDeleteNicely done, by the looks of everything... really wish I could have made it to astound the Gamma Worlder's with my electric jug skills... hope you hold another one sometime.
