QUOTE (adamu @ Apr 28 2008, 08:56 PM)  Well, it's a far cry from a private party at this point! And now that you've said you'll stop by, I shall be officially disappointed if you don't. (Though we should arrange some other time to actually sit down and talk, since I fear it might not be the best venue for conversation - boys and their games and all that!) Well dang, now I HAVE to show up if for no other reason than to not disappoint you because of the sheer fact that you potentially hold the fate of a couple of my characters in your hands (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif) But yes, time to chat outside of crashing your card game would be awesome. |

Okay - the room is finally totally confirmed.
At least, the fact that we will have a room is finalized. The room # is Circle City 3. That part is subject to change. But I will be informed if it does. In any case, I will repost the room number on this thread once the Con gets closer. And it will be listed on the Hilton reader board or whatever, so you can always just ask the staff when you get there. It'll be called "SRTCG Blowout & semi-official Dumpshock Meet 'n' Greet. We have the room from 11:00 pm Friday night until 7:00 am Saturday morning (although I certainly won't be up that long!). A lot of us, including me, will be in the SR tourney until 11:00...I personally expect to roll in there at 11:30. But I expect my co-host Jack Robustus will be there from 11:00. |

My Gen Con schedule is always wacky, but I totally intend to be there for some of this.

Dude - it's a cinch. I'll save a badass deck for you.
Lord o' Lightnin' but damned if we won't have a full 50% of the Folding Circle reunited at this shindig! |

Okay - meaningless bump just because this thread had fallen off the board.
Figured it was relevant enough to keep up there given how close the Con is and the level of interest expressed. As I mentioned before, I will repost all the exact time & location info once we get a week or so out. |

Saw some cards here yesterday... they're going for 60$ for a box of boosters, didn't see decks though. But I know there are some still out there.

QUOTE (Adam @ Jul 11 2008, 03:20 AM) Bull, please bring a deck for me to play with! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I have three or four decks that I built and "tuned" ages ago, so they'll be coming with me. I also plan to put together several more decks to give out using the mounds and mounds of cards I have stashed away. I'll also be bringing a big box o' commons and extra uncommons to give out. Plus the sealed stuff I mentioned earlier in the trhead. I think I'll have ya covered (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

QUOTE (john_doe @ Jul 11 2008, 10:43 AM) Just over a month to go... Hey Bull, you taking donations for the Rolling Bar & Grill? That's... Up in the air right now. Adamu is worried that it'll turn into a drunken orgy. And lets face it, drunk gamer nerds? They're a very scary and very sorry lot. And since Adam's putting this shindig together, I'm willing to bow to his wishes graciously. Of course, drinking before (and after) seems a viable option to me as well. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ork.gif) We were talking about snackage and the like though. Maybe bring along a bag of chips or some pop or something. Bull |

Actually, I am not too concerned about a drunken orgy - although this will be my first chance for some serious group SRTCG in eight or nine years, and I'd rather not play with someone that can't hold their cards. I did organize this thing to play cards. If I wanted to drink, I would go to a bar.
But really I don't mind at all if other people drink, and I am delighted that Bull has expanded this thing into the DS meet-n-greet. If I wasn't truly up for the idea, I wouldn't have gone ahead and rented the space to facilitate it. No - what I am truly terrified of is getting my ass sued off when some besotten idiot hurts themself or someone else while at an event I paid for. Sucks, but that's the fearzone we as Americans have allowed our country to become (apologies to those who aren't). I am only having Bull hold off on the alcohol planning until I determine my liability - which I am currently researching. Once that verdict is in, I will respond in as liberal a manner as possible. Hate to have to put up such an unfun post. |

I didn't do the arrangements for it, but at Gen Con 2005 FanPro threw a party in one of the hotel rooms, and since we were serving liquor we also had to pay for a bartender [two of them, actually] and a couple cops to check IDs at the door.
I'm pretty sure they won't just let you bring outside liquor in, officially. |

I wouldn;t sweat it too much Adam, I'm pretty sure most of us don;t need alcohol to have fun (Ok, Caine might, but then I think he transfused his blood with whiskey ages ago anyways (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ). We're there to hang out and play cards, first and foremost. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ork.gif) |

I really really appreciate that response.
For now, my research progresses, and I should have a final answer next week. |

On my end, I'm almost done sorting cards. I have well over 3000 cards, probably closer to 4K, and they were pretty much randomly packed into a box years and years ago, so... Sorting has taken some time.
I'm filing 4-6 of each card into Ultra Pro card sheets in a couple large binders. I actually need to go get some more sheets today, as I'm out and still need to sort my challenges. THis will make it much easier for me to find stuff for trade materials, if anyones looking for anything. I did finally find my Demo Decks to show off. They were two different pre-built decks that say "Demo Only" on the back that FASA was giving out to anyone who demo'd the TCG at Origins and Gen Con in '97. I have 2 of the SRTCG Promo cards still ("Shadowrun Trading Card Game is INSANE!" and "Don't kid yourself, size matters!". There was at least one more, and I used to have a ton of these, but apparently I gave away, traded away, or threw away all the rest :/ I do have a pile of signed cards. Jim Nelson, Skuzzy, Jeff laubestein, Fred Hooper, and Tom Baxa (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ork.gif) I do also have a sizable pile of "Extras" that aren't in decks or the folders, and I can probbaly make 4 or 5 pretty solid, basic decks out of them, so I'll prebuild some decks with those as well. Plus, I do have some fun Shadowrun extras I'll be bringing along, souvenirs of Conventions Past mostly. If anyone else has anything semi-unique for SR to bring along, please do. Could be kinda fun to get together a small museum of oddball SR items (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Wow - I am really looking forward to seeing those two promos - I had not heard of those before.
But most of all, I want to sit you down and make you tell me what the second series/corp war cards were like! |

I REALLY wish I knew what happened to those, or that I still had access to the original digital file. |

Yeah, I REALLY wish you did too!
I have lain awake nights weaving elaborate fantasies about super-devs who make SR so great that it becomes so popular that there is demand to revive the card game. I also have fantasized about a big all-night party where dozens of cool SR-lovers get together for serious multi-player SRTCG games --- oh, wait, that one's going to come true! |
