Off to the Oregon coast tomorrow morning.  Will be gone for five days.

Its our 25th Anniversary this week.

If someone at GenCon wants to snag me the DCC module from Godman (I already have the AD&D version from NTRPG, so I want the other one) that would be cool.

I guess there's, like, three different DCC specials out including the Black Blade Publishing module.

Hmmm.

I have word that Killjoy has finished his latest marathon, this in the Gobi Desert. Hopefully he'll be here hale and hearty this week to talk about it!

Could not have happened to a nicer guy.  Saved the citizens of England the cost of a trial and housing this low-life.  It's a win win for everyone.

Hi Guys,

Last night I kicked off the 2009 Gencon week with a game at the Burtwire boys place.  Yes, we used the dungeon room that Devon and Shawn built.  Absolutely fantastic. The door into the room even has a trick lock on it so once you close the door behind you it locks you into the room.  I would not mind being locked into this room as I would have enough to read for years, as there were book racks full of D & D. SHould you ever get the chance to go see the Burtwire boys place you must.  It is a museum of D & D.  So many pieces of original artwork that there isn't enough time to look at all of them.  Book racks upon bookracks full of D &D and even a D &D pinball machine.  I won the first game I played on the pinball.

Devon and Shawn's friend Rob (hope I remembered his name) took myself, Devon and Shawn, Malcom and his lovely wife thru the X5 module.  I had to leave before we even got to the temple of death but it was a blast.  Rob is a fantastic DM.  Really brings the action alive for the players.  Great way to start off the week.

Martin

My grandmother died last night.  She was 96 and in poor condition.  It's a relief actually.  My mom also feels relieved and is doing well.  I'll probably miss Friday night's chat as I'll be traveling to Tuscaloosa for the burial Saturday morning.

Ah, BJ - tough year for your family.  Know you share great support and love from those who remain.  I'm sure the service will be a celebration of her life.  96 years is a pretty good run.  I'll try to keep the trash talk about you down on the chat, but I can only do so much...

Have a safe trip.
