real nice
when should the Demo team expect theirs?

or will this require a run of a our own making......

A Shadowrun on CGL.  Now that would be interesting...

Oh, right, Bad English, the language that only could be created in the US.

Pfft. Have you tried learning Old English?

[CanRay]

Yes, actually.

Migraine lasted a month.

Wish I'd gotten back into all this a few months ago... could have tried to join the demo team... there's a big con coming up soon about 40 mins away    Would love to demo SR at something like that lol

C'est la vie, I guess

[CanRay]

Unfortunately, the local cons have gotten rather...  Bad.

One made all gamers decidedly unwelcome due to politics.   

[desdinova81]

That definately sucks.  It's been a while since I'd gone to the one con we have around here, but I'm planning to go this year.  Primarily comics, but there is occasionally some gaming going on.  Since we just lost our one decent game store in the area, I have to find new ways to get my fix lol

I'll be honest, I don't know exactly what you need to do to "earn" one of these through normal CDT channels, but I know Southpaw has a great big pile of them, and that "regular" (aka, non-Origins/Gen Con) Agents can get them.  You might need to have a certain number of events under your belt or something first though.  But if you sign up to be an Agent and can run some events, you should be eligible for one.  (I'll see about getting more deets when I see Southpaw later).

Also, thanks for the ehads up on the phone number in the pic.  Not a huge deal, but I went ahead and cropped it out anyway.  I just totally wasn;t paying attention!

What about us really stupid bastards that just run all kinds of events without signing up as an Agent?

We get the same thing we always get. "The respect of our peers."

[CanRay]

We get the same thing we always get. "The respect of our peers."

So, in other words, nothing?

Pretty much, Yeah.

So go sign up, ya dumb bastiches

Also....  Con is going great.  Most of our games are sold out.  Scramble went fairly well, though had a low turn out.  But we had some GREAT support, and there's something to be said for a game with 16 players and nearly as many NPCs. Echo Chernik, Nigel Sade, and Amy Michelenka really helped step the game up a notch (Echo and Sade decorated up this aquarium Alligator skull we were using for a prop with tattoos, gold pain, feather, and Echo was selling it as a magic focus.  It looks amazing.).

Special props go to Finn Hardy, Jason's son.  He played Pip the Ork Underground Street Urchin, and he just went nuts and had a great time acting as a "guide" for the PCs.

Everyone had a blast, which was the best part.  I'll try and post some pics tonight if I get te chance and am not out too late and/or too drunk,

[Crimsondude]

I met Echo at Heroes Con, and yeah, she is really cool. I told her how much I can't wait for her to one day draw < CENSORED >. We also sang the praises of ... Someone. ;p

The Abq Comics Expo going on right now has a whole gaming area, but even if I did run something as hoc right now (which it seems you can do) the only Missions games I am familiar enough with to consider running aren't technically out yet. And the next con is during Gen Con, but there is another at the end of August. However I don't know what their policy is. This is the first ACE, but Bubonicon is celebrating #43 this year with a steampunk theme (yes, last year was based on Douglas Adams). Then there will be another Abq Comic CON run by a whole OTHER group of retailers and such in January.

It seems that Albuquerque is a great place to be a nerd, geek, or other outside of the fact that it's been over 100° every day this month. Also, fuck the Poles for making me wait an extra two weeks to kiss George R.R. Marten's ass by giving him some national award this same weekend as ACE.

I'd sign up in a moment if it weren't for the lack of decent Cons here, not to mention the, um, "politics" of the FLGSes here that causes problems.

[desdinova81]

Once I get caught back up on 10 years of changes, I'll be signing up
