Starting bid . . . $15,000

Nah. Plus, is it just me, or do the legs seem too small for the rest of the suit? I'd prefer to hold out for something more my size. :lol:

Honestly if I were able to make it to the con, I'm sure I'd show up wearing this

and set these things up at any table I'd be playing at :lol:

Just a note, you can still sign up for games after tomorrow, but you will not be part of the group that gets their emails sent to the DM in case they want to issue further instructions. Likewise, if you want to register for the con after the 15th, you won't have a kick-ass printed out name tag and must register at the door....and get a sad-ass hand printed name tag (probably by me, so it'll be unreadable) :cry:

You won't be able to register for games after May 15th

Why, because just like everything else for the Con I have to get things done and can't wait until the last minute.

The whole point of people signing up for games is so I can print a list of registered players so people know who is in what game. I can't wait until 2 days before the Con to print and organize lists to have handy in case people try and sit in a on game they are not suppose to be because it's full.

So, if you haven't registered for a game, you need to get it done. If there is room left in a game, the DM will let you in at the Con.

Yes

Bracton won seat #1

Captain Snake won seat #2

I don't think wandoforcus realized that he could still bid.

RPGMarketplace.com doesn't allow sniping, if you bid at the end of the auction, it see activity and extends the auction another 5 min.... if there is no activity in the last 5 min, it ends the auction... so basically it makes "snipers" duke it out

Congrats Mark and Rollin!

Over $300 to charity, and a game to remember for the both of them.

Mark how on earth is my B1 game you are registered in after this going to be any kind of follow up? It's like eating a filet mignon at a fine steakhouse and having a handful of dirty, melted Sunbursts for desert :wink:

Yes. So I discovered. :evil:

Fortunately, no one else appeared to stay up to bid at the last minute. :lol:

I'm thinking it's more like following a filet with a bacon double cheeseburger. Mmmmmm.

With regret, I'm going to have to pass up on another NTRPG con.

Bad timing with the bills, and I wouldn't have been able to enjoy the whole convention (since someone at work took that week off...) as it was.

Don't worry, I'll be donating a few dollars to the raffle fund...

That sucks, it's two in a row you missed....we will be looking for you next year.

When are you arriving?
If on Thursday, then perhaps I can help.
I plan to be at the hotel sometime early Thursday to help Doug set up (If he has not already done it that is).

Arriving Wednesday around 3:30 actually, I thought there was a shuttle or something from the hotel

Jeff,

There was a shuttle last year. So that's what I'm planning for at the moment. I arrive around 1:30 pm.

Just checked with the Hotel and they do provide a shuttle Monday thru Friday last pick up at 5:30 pm. Just call when you arrive at the airport and they will come pick you up.
