Same here. From the game packets to the pizza to table signage to the NERPS cards, CGL did a bang up job. People were motivated, they were happy and the gaming rocked the house.
Of course, the bar is now set VERY high for the 20th anniversary of Shadowrun next year. I am definitely looking forward to seeing how high CGL notches is up for that! |

I ended up missing my Shadowrun game at Indy (I had tickets for myself, my wife, and my buddy, all long-time SR players) but when Saturday rolled around they were both on a big D&D kick -- of all things! -- and wanted to try to get into one of the Forgotten Realms RPGA games. They outvoted me, and we ended up ditching our SR game to run, generic tickets in hand...only to not find room in a D&D game anyways.
It pretty much blew my Saturday for me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/frown.gif) On the bright side, I DID make it into one Catalyst game (Battletech, playing Grinder) later that day. But I still felt kind of ripped off. Throwing away perfectly good tickets to a perfectly good Shadowrun game, tickets I'd bought months earlier because everyone said they wanted to play...just to go not make it into another game. |

Sorry we missed ya there, Crit! Was looking forward to meeting you.
Yeah, the only game I ended up playing all weekend (Besides the SRTCG on Friday night) was the Scramble on Thursday (I had crazy fun (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ). We wanted to get into a game on Friday afternoon, but all the SR games were packed out, and then I got involved with some stuff after the hall closed for the BT guys, and pretty much blew out my voice doing that little event. On Saturday we were gonna try and get into some more games, but we ended up hvaing those games, the CGL seminars, and a semi-planned lunch with some friends all planned for around teh same time, and as I wanted to try and talk to Synner a little bit, I went with the CGL seminars. Ahh well. It was fun nonetheless. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

If anyone's gonna be at DragonCon (I know Catalyst itself will have a presence, in that Shadowrun Missions is going on, yadda yadda yadda, but by "anyone" I mean "anyone I know from on here"), maybe I'll see ya down there in a couple days. Toss me a PM or something if you're interested in exchanging cell info or otherwise trying to make plans.
All the DragonCon gaming pre-reg was closed by the time my wife reminding me there was gaming at DragonCon, but I'm hoping I'll be able to get in some on-site registration and still play a little Battletech or Shadowrun or something. Grinder at Gencon got me all hopped up on nostalgia and I finally busted open my Classic BT starter box, got in a game with my buddies yesterday, I'm reading through all my old Battletech books, re-installed Mechwarrior Mercenaries, you name it. I love the smell of PPC fire in the morning! |

I'd love to make it down to Dragon Con some year, but it's just far enough away, and just close enough to Gen Con that it's not really feasible, shy of someone paying for my airfare and hotel for me. :/
As for who's gonna be there, I'm not really sure. Dog_Xinu posts here, and will be ne of the CGL Demo Team guys there doing Missions games, and Kai is, I think, Organizing things for the con (Though she doesn't post here very often at all). Not sure who else will be there. Bull |
