They also gave me a ride to airport on Sunday. I plan on using them again.

As a side, took me to wal-mart Thursday so I could stock the fridge, but I walked back because it was actually pretty close.


And I could've bought these damn modules off the 1$ rack!!!

My plane gets in around 230.  Should be at the hotel by around 3. I will not have any checked bags.

Guys, the weather is really cooperating this year. They are saying highs in the lower 90s and lows in the lower 70s all week. The last two years, it has been 10 degrees hotter the week of the con, up to 100 degrees some days.  Should be much more pleasant in 2011.

Spellbook Games will be at the convention, with a table!!

We are bringing 25 printed copies of Inferno 1980 (the original Judges Guild module for AD&D; the adventure is the same but with new maps and new art; more can be ordered if needed). We also have 25 copies each of three 11"x17" black/white posters (three-headed dragon, sexy female devil, menacing specter). The cover picture for Inferno: Treasury depicts Geryon's treasure trove and its a very cool 2x3 FT poster, dark and brooding and golden (can be ordered).

We have the capability to sell any and all of our PDF products...bring your own flash drive or blank CD...or you can buy a blank CD from us (for a quarter) or you can buy a 1 GB flash drive to put your PDFs on (15 of these, very fun devil figure, comes pre-loaded with all of our free products). Any PDF free on our website is also free at the con, just ask for it. We should have the capability to accept credit cards via Paypal as long as the hotel wireless is working; cash is also good. I printed all twenty-one of our products (laser printer, not commercial) and put them in a binder so you can look them over before buying. All prices include the 8.5% Texas sales tax. Oh, a free d20 comes with the first twenty or so PDF orders > $5. You can also join our Spellbook Games forum or Facebook group at our table.

If that weren't enough, our own Dimage is taking three shifts as the Con serving wench, in her most piratical costume...don't make her pull out her rapier or flintlock pistol. She is selling dice bags (comes with a selection of d20, d10, d6, and a rules for a fast little dice game) at our table. She also has a big (16 inches maybe?) dragon sculpture for sale at $20.

AND...I'm running the full complete 'Escape from Inferno' on Sunday, from 0800 until the last Adventurer has fallen, an escape is made, or the janitor sweeps up all the dice at the end of the day (characters provided). There are still lots of openings at the table. Please contact me ASAP if you might be interested in playing.

I can't wait to see everybody at the Con! I'll be rolling in after work Friday night and will be donating some original art to the auction. Looking forward to getting some gaming in.

Nat 20's all weekend, boys!

Caveats:
  • Pictures are uncropped and poorly-composed.
  • I did not caption every picture with names because some people might not want to be named in a photo.
  • Day 1 is both Day 0 and Early Day 1.
  • Day 2 is both Late Day 1 and Early Day 2.
  • Day 3 is Late Day 2 and Entire Day 3.
  • Games were played on Day 4, but I was too wiped out and opted for the jacuzzi instead.

Caveats:

(1) Pictures are uncropped and poorly-composed
(2) Thirty-three pictures are in this first batch.
