I knew we could do it if we all piled on...thanks to everyone who twisted Al's arm!

KILLJOY IS COMING!  Giant rabid shrews, flaming Revenants and Tegel Manor flashbacks are on their way!

Congrats Alan,

Wish I could be there.  But at this point, it would have to be a miracle.

I don't have a white horse (ala mel brooks) but I do have a white truck. If I can go, I will swing through hoosier land ...


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

With Paul Jaquays doing a Q&A session, are any of the other guests planning on one as well?

Mike wasn't sure he's gonna be able to do a Q&A sessions since every thing is in a single room...

But I think we can do Q&A's sitting in the lobby/breakfast area... since the hotel does the continental breakfast, they have tables and chairs out in that area, so I think at least for Friday night, we can have a Q&A with Paul out there....

Then if others want to do one, we can setup something in the same area for them.

I think as long as gaming is going on in the main room, it'll be hard to have any type of Q&A.. heck the pause for the raffles here and there will be an interruption I am sure :)

So any down time for the Special Guests they can use how they like and the lobby/breakfast area will probably be the best area...

I promise, next year we will have some better room areas and the like since we will plan for 70-100 ....

Remember, Mike was only looking to see 10-15 people, I was figuring about 30-40 ... so we are outside the planned box at the moment and pressing the limits...

at least we know we should be able to do this for many years to come seeing this type of sign up (of course if only 20 show up, then we'll know better) ...

i would still work on the basis that not everyone goes that intends to go. you will always get folk who cant make it, so you might find the numbers pan out just right anyways?

Everything Doug said...spot on. We had already discussed this, and believe me, next year will have spots in the lineup for Q&As.

With everything happening in one room, and from 3+ games going on at all times, the logistics won't work for having any sort of Q&A in the main room. However, #1, Paul will be very accessbile. He will be there Friday through Sunday and I'm sure he will be able and willing to talk on any subject you wish.  #2, there is a large breakfast/lobby area right next to the main room which I am sure will be more than big enough to accomodate this sort of session.  Paul has already mentioned he doesn't want to run nor play in any games, so I'm sure with the majority of the attendees occupied with whatever game is on tap that it will be easy enough to corral Paul in the breakfast room and have some good one on one time with him.

Remember also we are alloting 4 hours for the lunch/BBQ, not to mention the ride there and back. There should be plenty of time to talk to Paul and pick his brain about anything you wish.

As I said....next year, planned Q&A sessions..with moderators and everything (even if I have to do it myself).

We will probably have a few dropouts...but with six weeks remaining I bet the numbers stay steady (people who didnt' think they will go will suddenly find the time or money, etc)  Even so I think we are looking at 55-60 at most, more than we planned but indeed manageable.  Remember also if you either don't get a chance to sign up for a game, or don't like any of the games, there is ample space for numerous pickup games...not to mention just sitting around and shooting the bull.  I'm having a problem trying to figure out how the hell I'm going to be in five places at once!

A question.... or two..

Why not have the Q&A after Paul finishes his Lunch on Saturday at Dougs place?
He wont be DMing and has stated he wont be doing much gaming either (Though I hope he gets to do some gaming).
Perhaps even get Paul there earlier so he can eat before the crowd arrives and therefore perhaps he can speak while the rest of us stuff our faces........
We could ask questions between bites of Bacon/Cheese Hamburger...

Besides.... Wont there be a gap of time between lunch and starting the afternoon table top gaming sessions at the hotel?

I know this announcement isn't going to be of much interest to very many of the regulars here at the Acaeum.   :wink:

But I wanted to let folks that are planning on attending the North Texas RPG Con (NTRPG Con) know that Goodman Games will have copies of this year's convention module, DCC # C9 Tomb of the Blind God by by Aeryn "Blackdirge" Rudel and featuring a new Erol Otus cover, available at the con.  

These special release DCC # C9 modules will feature the First Year NTRPG Con logo on the front cover, commemorating the convention's first year.

I don't know what the price will be and I don't know how many copies there will be, but Joseph Goodman wanted to throw out some solid support for this gaming convention, especially being the first year and all, and we thought this would be a good way of doing that.  

As more details become available, I'll pass along the information.
