At the time (and considering the probable age of the players) that must have been hilarious! :lol:

Oh yeh.

My brother was so pissed off, when we told him what had happened that session after he had left, he said he wasn't going to play anymore unless I said it didn't really happen! So despite the giggles it caused it went into the "imaginary story" category....

Guys, James Mishler just posted in the JG thread that Bob Bledsaw has finally passed on. Sad we had to lose two great men in one year.

I propose the Tegel Manor game be dedicated to Bob and his fine works in the D&D game.....!

I had a message from Strato for a query I had, back on 6th April. Seemed to have a lot on at the moment.

Hi Guys

No Acaeum True Dungeon this year I am afraid. The Brilliant Gencon server did not let me in until most of the games were sold out. I did manage to get a scant 2 tickets (One for me and the wife) for Saturday afternoon.

Again I am sorry about this

There is always next year I suppose.

Games can get you through times of no money but money can not get you through times of no games!!

You guys might have a second chance at grabbing some tickets. According to this Gen Con hasn't released unpiad tickets from people's shopping carts yet, so some TD tickets will reappear in the system (probably) tonight.

EDIT: And now they're saying freed tickets will appear at 4pm PDT (7pm EDT).

Yeh, Badmike gets his ass kicked and made a fool of

My new strategy is to get my character killed in the first five minutes otherwise I'm sure Al will have some giant shrew take a dump on me, use me like one of the male leads in Brokeback Mountain, and eviscerate me for giggles.

I've made arrangements to rent several authentic Sarcophagic Saharan Shrieking Shrews from Al for MY game.

(Patience, grasshopper; details forthcoming, all in good time.)

Damn it, Frank. If you remember I specifically asked that no shrews or shrew like vermin be placed in your game. :cry:

Now Badmike is going to have a kaniption of some sort. :roll:

I will be hard pressed to find enough qualtiy bacon cheeseburgers to calm him down.

This years Gencon just keeps getting more and more stressful. :lol:

Looking forward to seeing you all again, here in Indy.

Speaking of....

Anyone playing in Al's Tegel Manor game at Gencon this year, please PM or email me. I need a few bits of info. So far I believe it's Al, me, Prufrock, King, Blackmoor, some Aussie or another?

Does anyone know what the font is for The Acaeum title on the website?

It's not me. I'm not brave enough to put myself at the mercy of a DM who would even consider using giant shrews.
