I'd like him to play a handsome but mute PC.

For this year's con, we are doing something new. For the artist's forum, every artist we have (Paul Jaquays, Erol Otus, Jeff Dee, Jason Braun and possibly Diesel LaForce) will each get a description of a new monster designed by fans or attendees. We will choose five monsters from all those submitted, each artist get a different monster, and they will illustrate the creature during the seminar (45 minutes to draw from first sketch to final artwork). The monsters will all appear in a future NTRPG con publication written by the con or one of the special guests. Although we will raffle the art itself at the con, we will scan/copy the pictures for future use (and in return for a signed release, the creator of the monster will get a copy of art signed by the artist). There is a possibility your monster may even be made into a miniature at some point! Anyway, we need some help here with this concept, so if you have an interesting, unique creature you would like to see illustrated by one of the great old school artists in the hobby, get us a detailed description of what the monster looks like and it's powers/abilities, stat it up using whatever old school system you want, and send it in to us, if the monster is accepted we will also need a signed release to get the ball rolling. Thanks guys!

Email the stats/descriptions to Doug or I at the NTRPG con address:

Last year was going to be my year to visit, tied in with my 40th birthday treat.. But when my wife turned into a cheating, lying, twisted, manipulative cow, I had to change plans due to moving out of the house and paying to get a divorce. I kinda lost all interest, so sold virtually all my collection and then losing my job through redundancy didn't help.
I missed the commentary of last year, as I wasn't even visiting the site, but although I can't make this years trip, I do still plan on making the journey, so for this year I'll stick with watching the daily updates as they come through and possibly any webcams (as I now live in a fast interweb area) :)

I hope it's a good Con, and will look at buying any of the limited mods that get printed specially for it, as I missed the GT one, but have the digest PotVQ ;)

Cheers,

That's what we planned for the NTRPG con this year anyway!  You'll have double the fun.

Are there casinos, or poker clubs, near Dallas?
