Doug should be posting sign-up sheets on the site pretty soon (maybe this weekend); there will be a mass mail to all attendees when that happens.

More games may be added if these fill up quickly.

john i wil definately run a game at the con and one outside the con. you know the numbers i like in my games, this one will be similar. the one outside will be just for the guys when we get together for a little game.

i will leave it to mike to fit it in when its good for him/doug.

not decided on detail yet. will know more next week, but it will be my usual mix of D&D/AD&D 1E/homey kinda rules.

I still think you should run Return to Tegel for people that have never played it.  Shorten it up a bit by skipping ahead to the Manor itself and just give the players a synopsis of what happened before.  You could fit that into 4 or 5 hours.  It's not like anyone besides myself, Mike, Frank, and Jeff know exactly what occurred during the adventure.

Looking forward to whatever you decide Al.

Wow...looks like Friday night will be pretty packed.  Looks like someone who was planning on running a game on Saturday morning backed out?

Thanks Tim!

King:  Someone switched from Saturday morning to Friday night. No biggie.  Actually Doug and I have been discussin an option we might use should the room get too crowded and space at a premium, might be very cool if it works out (or we have to do it).  And no, it doesn't include playing in my living room... 8O

The subtle point Doug is trying to get across....game registration is open from the main menu! It's the button on the bottom right when the main menu page pops up (after Jason's extremely cool logo)....

Sweet, but with so many realms of wonder.....  8)

I am confused about HOW to play in 3 or 4 games at once....  :?

Ah, the fun of hand-registering everyone!  Although it's interesting to do it this way because you get a sense of who is doing what, etc. Next year when we expand we'll undoubtedly have to automate this..

But for some fun facts from the first weekend of registration:

We have 13 scheduled games. We have 57 people (including guests) registered for the con.  Of those, 24 have registered in at least one event; Four have registered in the maximum four events (one each slot), all of them being Acaeum members! (I'm so proud....!).  Two events have already filled up (Rob's Friday night game and Frank's Saturday night game).  As we still have five weeks until the con (damn!  Five Weeks!  Still a ton to do!!!!!) it will be interesting to see what happens....

Frank Lives!!!

We have told Frank he only is required to run two events this weekend; we will see how he wants to handle it, if he wants to run four events he can but we are going to encourage him to play instead if he wishes during those slots...

Frank's rep is so solid we already filled up the Saturday night game with NO details except for "DM: Frank Mentzer"!  Now there is some gaming chops!
