Very nice hotel. Was looking at their rates and thought "holy crap this is going to get a lot more expensive in the future", then I saw the con rate you posted. That is a hell of a price drop! Of course I'm going to have to sign up for Marriott Rewards now. :wink:

Course now you are going to have to consider hiring someone for security purposes. I can just see that guy Brad (Jason Braun's friend) getting rip-roaring drunk, going off to the gym to pump iron for a couple of hours and tearing the place up in a rage, and then stumbling to the lobby and vomiting in their fountain. :lol:

Congrats on the new location, Mike! It looks great!

@kingofpain - Was it the Chimay Blue that you broke out during Tim's Snakeriders game and passed around a few cups?

No biggie man. And now that I recall, I came up to the room the Knights & Knaves were using Thursday night with a couple of other guys and you were running a game. Didnt want to disturb you or I would have brought it then.

Yeah, good stuff. Had another bottle up in the cooler though. We ended up drinking all the Old Speckled Hen and Guinness but I still have some Bass ale and some Shiner left over. And I happened on another really great beer at the convention. Obsidian Stout by Deschutes Brewery in Bend, Oregon. I plan on making it one of my "always on hand" beers.

You should try their Black Butte Porter, if you like porters. It's delicious.

Hey Mike,

Vote on which monster drawn at the 2012 Artist Seminar will be made into a mini! At the seminar Jeff Dee, Jennell Jaquays, Diesel Laforce, Jason Braun and Erol Otus all drew a monster submitted by a con attendee, and if you go to the link below you can see each monster and vote on which one makes the cut!

http://ntrpgcon.com/index.php?option=co ... &Itemid=80

As soon as I get all the con stuff finished (still mailing, up next the swords for the special guests), we are also going to see about a specially produced product available next year at the con that will feature one or more of the monsters drawn by the artists. The project will be non-profit and used 100% to fund the con...it will either be a stand alone digest module, or an adventure joined to the miniature we hope to produce, or something similar.

Past time to start a new thread for next year, I guess. But wanted to note that both Rick Loomis (Flying Buffalo) and Ken St. Andre (Tunnels & Trolls) have accepted preliminary invitations to join us for NTRPG con 2013. I'll have more info once I start a new thread here!

In a few years, the special guests will outnumber the rest of the attendees.

There is a threat detected on the site, so I think I will not be using that service until it is resolved.

It was removed weeks ago, you have to empty your cache and then everything should be fine. I was just on there.

I have had a couple of weird hack attempts over the last few weeks, but as soon as I am aware, I get them removed, patched etc.

So if you see something let me know. The McAfee site analyzer shows it's good as of this moment and I have been keeping a rather close eye on it the last couple of weeks.

Please, feel free to let me know if you see anything
