Wow. Great damn weekend. Had a great time meeting Gandalftheplaid, Pukka Tukka, UselessTriviaMan, Azuretalon, Muntjack along with a few of their friends, the lovely Sam, Zack, and the Cheeseburger Fucker. Muntjack GM'd the heck out of his Old World of Darkness and Pathfinder games. I had never played OWoD, and only had played part of a Pathfinder adventure on Friday night, but I never felt lost. Sam co-GM'd the OWoD game and she made the most out of passing the players notes, answering questions, and generally keeping things moving. The meal we had Saturday night was quite awesome:good food and good company. I laughed so much that my throat is a bit raw and my voice is deeper than normal. All in all, one of the best weekends I've had in a good long time. Can't wait to do it again next year. Although we briefly mentioned me cruising over on the motorcycle this summer, so hopefully we won't have to wait an entire year.

Oh, yeah! Tonight I wanna hear all about that "DM is missing" game! Oh man. It's a story for the ones who played to tell, but for the folks who weren't there to hear it when they explained it tonight, I will say it was freaking EPIC.

Aye lads, I'm already champing at the bit. This afternoon I'll be the guy wandering around aimlessly in a geek tshirt. No, I mean literally - it just says geek. He wasn't lying. He was the first guy I found, all because of the geek shirt.

Really was awesome all around yesterday! We've got some great Happy Jack's fans out here in the Midwest! And some of them can *really* put away meat! We'll have to put up the pictures, once everyone is back home from the weekend... and some of us figure out how to put the pics up. --Pukka Tukka

Thanks for the compliments, Jimto! I tried my best, and I think I put together some fun games!
Had a blast this weekend. If I didn't have this paper to finish, 200 pages of a novel to read, and a ton of grading, I might be out there again right now playing GURPS for the first time. I guess real life comes first.
Great meeting everyone, and sorry if I seemed out of it at the dinner. I was running on fumes.

I had a lot of fun playing in my first FATE (Strands of) game ever. I don't think I was prepared enough for it, but I had a lot of fun throwing well meaning wrenches in that game.

Had I not been busy drinking, I'd have laughed more.

Whatever happened to the photos? I think there's at least one taken of azuretalon doing some sort of odd mounting action with someone during the group photo.

UTM had most of the good ones. I'll admit, I haven't posted mine yet, but they kinda suck. iPod camera and not knowing what I'm doing don't combine well. Also, I don't know where to put them online so I can link them to here.
