First Item!
Fantastic Job running the show CADave! This was a wonderful set of hosts and I look forward to another episode with these four fine folks. Nice topic too, as I am sadly looking at having to abandon my samurai brothers and sisters in Sir Guido's L5R game in a month as I will be going to RW sea again. I went ahead and talked to him about it and he graciously agreed to speed up his planned story arc from a planned 4-5 sessions to just two. This way my character can fully participate in the finale of this now 11(?) session story arc. Not all GMs are so gracious. Thanks for that.
Second item!
Wow! Two plugs for Jackercon! You lady and gentlemen are also very gracious, thanks again! I look forward to regaling the forums with all of the fine stories generated from these great upcoming games...still need some players y'all.
Cheers,
Curt J.

Well this is a surprise. I didn't think there would be a show this (last) week.
Guess that's my fault for not checking the twitterz. *begins download*

Should the shows stalwarts ever succumb to age and infirmity I think the HappyJacks brand will live on in good hands. Aaron PS do you think we can Saque P to host? As Saque P not as their 'real' persona (then again is Batman disguised as Bruce Wayne or is it vice versa)

If CADave ever hosts the show again...potential theme music ideas.
Cuz, He's from Canada eh? (I realize that he is not but does a fairly amazing kanuck impression!) and I apologize for the weird version of this song.
"Frrrrrom Pasadena It's the CADave show..."
Randy Newmans "Good News" song.

Strange Brew was a favorite movie of Dave, Stephen, and mine in high school. Hosehead is still what I call them and it's where I got this screen name, so "Take off" is quite appropriate.

Hey! Thanks for the shout out for my Murderous Ghosts game!
Yes, this game is normally played one on one, but the way I was introduced to it was with a large group of people joining in and that's the way I like it.
Um... I'm just going to go with that as written.
As DT Pints said, this is a very apropos topic and not just because he has to go out to sea.
In my case, I thought I had sufficiently warned the group I wasn't going to be available on a particular day because I had to run a booth at Mini Maker Faire Austin. I which I had not, but didn't know until later.
The very next session was the day after a 10 mile kayaking trip and in spite of the fact that I set an alarm, I just completely slept through game time. (I am still pretty much sure I'm a terrible person for this.)
So I had missed two sessions in a row without sufficient communication as to why.
Lucky for me, Sir Guido is kind and understanding, and also an adult. So instead of just writing me off he contacted me and asked me just how serious I was about this L5R stuff.
Based on the fact that I have continued to be the idiot who splits the party, you can see we worked it out.
I still feel really bad and self conscious about this.
There were people I've played with in the past who've had serious issues with being on time. Oh, they would show up, mostly, but you could never be sure when. One of them lived 10 minutes from where we usually played and he would still show up half an hour to an hour late. Another person was once something like THREE HOURS late to a game FOR WHICH HE WAS THE DM, oh... did I mention we were playing AT HIS HOUSE? He arrived to discover we had eaten all the pizza, emptied several fridge packs of soda, rolled up new (3.5e) characters and one of the other players was running us through a module he'd bought when a FLGS had a going out of business sale and happened to have in the trunk of his car.
When he arrived, he asked us what this was and somebody said, "This is the game we play while we're waiting for you to show up." Under normal conditions I would have thought that was overly unkind, but this person was so chronically and epically late to things... not so much in this case.

damn autocorrect Tourettes My autocorrect has Tourette's - often I type "that's a sound and well reasoned position and though I don't personally agree I am forced to reconsider my own stance on these issues" but it sends "get to fuck you cunt" Aaron
