<--- Will be there.

Figured I would start this early as not many other Con's are listed...

Where is it being held? Got any links for us?

Biggest Sci-Fi Fantasy convention in the South East if I am not mistaken.

Posted by: Whizbang Dec 8 2004, 07:16 AM

I know I'll be there.

It's in Atlanta, Georgia.

Posted by: Nikoli Dec 8 2004, 03:50 PM

I might get to go next time as Agent Brown might be doing another appearance there and my wife is a big fan of his from Farscape.

I always go in medieval garb. One day last time I had my little dragon on my shoulder. Got alot of compliments, but it can be tough to manage the balance and the wing span. Got sucked into a game and missed the Pern costume contest, though.

sounds like my friend Sian will have competition next year if she goes.

Though she usually goes as a kender...(which works oddly well for Tinker or Harper as well)

Posted by: Whizbang Dec 8 2004, 04:01 PM

Harper? I love Harper. Just recently discovered Andromeda. Reminds me of one of my first Shadowrun characters.

Well...that's off track. Thinking of which, perhaps they'll come up with an Andromeda one.

Posted by: Nikoli Dec 8 2004, 04:12 PM

Not that Harper, the Harper hall. you know, lorekeepers.

Posted by: Whizbang Dec 8 2004, 04:16 PM

I know. I like those harpers too. the Harper Hall trilogy is my favorite of the pern series.

Posted by: Nikoli Dec 8 2004, 04:36 PM

Besides, it's Seamus Harper

Well I have signed up to run 5 sessions of Character Creation and a small adventure for SR4. Only catch is getting up to speed on the rules and geting a few copyies of the books to use at the table.

Look for the Session listed as:
"Something Simple and Something Complex"

Posted by: Nikoli Jun 8 2005, 02:06 PM

Sweet, I think you just confirmed my attendance. What day is that session?
**edit**
Well, I just ordered my 4-day (though I can't use the whole thing)

Also, I looked at the RPG schedule and I don't see that listed. You might want to double check them.

Posted by: SimpleRunner Jun 8 2005, 07:27 PM

I think everything is in a pending status until 07.15.2005 and then the pre-regs can sign up for the sessions.

Here is what I have:
SR4 at DragonCon
Commando Player #2325
Game Descriptions:
So you have heard the buzz on the streets saying there is a new game out. Shadowrun 4th Edition has been released and you will be able to sit and create characters based on the new rules as well as play a short adventure. You can take a guess at what is Simple and what is Complex.
Sessions: 1, 2, 5, 9, & 13
Table Size: 6
Duration: 4hrs
Approval Status: Approved
Game Session Matrix
0900-1300 = Fri 1, Sat 5, Sun 9, Mon 13
1300-1700 = Fri 2
(Corrected typo)
(Changed Pending to Approved)

nifty.

So, of the folks in the Atlanta area, who plans on attending D*Con and what session should we all show up for so we can have drinks or something.

Posted by: SimpleRunner Aug 5 2005, 11:52 PM

I Checked the Pre-Reg Schedule for the events I am running at DragonCon see that they are not full. Plenty of room so there are still slots to fill, Tables are set to 6 but I can have as many as 8 at a table if you get friends to come along.

Fri 9 AM (1)..4 hrs. 5 avail.
Fri 1 PM (2)..4 hrs. 5 avail.
Sat 9 AM (5)..4 hrs. 3 avail.
Sun 9 AM (9)..4 hrs. 4 avail.
Mon 9 AM (13).4 hrs. 1 avail.

Checked to see what other games for ShadowRun are going to be there and see 4 total SR3 ed games, 1 SR Mission's game, and 3 independents. After seeing the GenCon list makes me think gaming is dead in Atlanta. Hope the game picks up here.

Posted by: Whizbang Aug 22 2005, 09:30 PM

I know I always love playing SR at Dragon*Con... *hopes there's slots left when the Con starts*

Posted by: Nikoli Aug 22 2005, 11:40 PM

I still don't see SR4 listed. can you post a link for them?

Nevermind, I see it.

ONe quick question, what the fuck?
a fee for a game, that's sad and is explains your opinion that gaming is dieing here. It already costs too much to get into the con.

Posted by: Whizbang Aug 22 2005, 11:50 PM

It costs $3 for any game session, reguardless of genre. It'll likely book out once the Con is started...it has for every other year I've been there.

Posted by: Nikoli Aug 22 2005, 11:51 PM

Still not paying extra. I've already paid to attend, those sessions should be included, not tacked on, especially if I'm not garunteed a seat.

Posted by: Whizbang Aug 23 2005, 12:20 AM

*shrugs* doubt the process is going to change anytime soon. Of course if anyone plans on hosting free sessions, I'm all for it.

Posted by: Nikoli Aug 23 2005, 12:26 AM

Just frustrates me is all.
Was looking forward to meeting fellow DS members and those sessions were the most likely.
Anyway, if anyone finds themself at D*Con, shoot me a note on AOL or a PM through DS beforehand and we can make arrangements somehow

Posted by: SimpleRunner Aug 30 2005, 02:49 AM

Hell I got a bonus and will pay for people to play if they want, the money at the tables is dumb I do admit that. The way DC runs things though 1 player at each table wins the best rold layer and gets a 5 dollar coin to use at the dealers room. In anycase would still like to see the tables filled and people having fun.

BTW one this that is sad is that I still don't have my release copy of SR4. Have till Thursday to get a copy so that we can do this.

Posted by: SimpleRunner Aug 30 2005, 02:51 AM

As far as free games go, I will likely be in the Open Gaming room which is where free gaming takes place. Might be able to run something in there baring a free table.

Posted by: Nikoli Aug 30 2005, 03:19 AM

Posted by: Whizbang Aug 30 2005, 09:37 PM

And just where is said Open Gaming room? *is all for free gaming*

Posted by: SimpleRunner Aug 31 2005, 04:38 PM

I have my eBook! Lets the games begin!

Posted by: SimpleRunner Aug 31 2005, 04:40 PM

That will be in the program guide, I don't have a copy of that yet.

Posted by: Wardancer Aug 31 2005, 06:56 PM

I might go to DCon, I live 22 minutes away from it

Posted by: SimpleRunner Sep 6 2005, 09:38 PM

Well I had fun at DragonCon. Looking forward to next year!

Posted by: Nikoli Sep 6 2005, 10:28 PM

It was nice to meet those of you I did, Whizbang, SimpleRunner and ZenShooter, as well as that lurker guy whose Ork based handle escapes me at the moment.

Posted by: SimpleRunner Sep 6 2005, 10:53 PM

Orcstreetsam, or similar to that.
