This is just what it says: who's going? What friendly (or grouchy) faces will we be able to put to dumpshock handles? And when is the DS meet and greet? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)

I'm going. I have to go; I've got one of the author's tables.

It looks like you'll have to beat up somebody if you want in. The tickets for that event are sold out. And in keeping with the spirit of the event, after I run the adventure, I'll give the players a copy of it and then not post it; they'll have exclusive copies. =i)

I have the other table, and will be taking a page from Aaron, and doing the same.

I'll be slaving away there. I think I'll be at the booth for quite a bit of the weekend, as I only have 8 hours in tha hall. plus I'll have all my SR cards there for a game. We're working out the details of a meet n' greet as well.

I'll be there, and myself and 2 other friends got into an Author's Game. (RPG0901682 The Author's Game Shadowrun 08/15/2009 12:00:00 PM 4 $6.00 to be exact)
Any word on a DS meet and greet? Went to last year's and had a good time. Thanks again to Bull for the cards. |

I'll be there. I'm running both nights of the tournament and both editions of Mr. Johnson's Table. If you signed up, PM me so I know what you'd like to have run.

I'll be around. I'm playing in the Scramble on Thursday, and i'll be GMing a couple of One Shots ("3 Tequila..." on Saturday at noon, and "Floor" on Sunday at 10 AM). I'll be playing Bouncer for the Mr Johnson games (So don't step outta line! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ), and other than that, I'm going to likely be running various booth demo's or be "on call" as a backup/overflow GM.
AKA, I have no clue what kinda free time I'm gonna have. Which is why I haven't tried organizing anything for Dumpshock this year. I also have a couple other commitments I need to squeeze in around GMing and stuff as well. :/ I'd suggest an informal, late night dinner get together on Wednesday, which is possibly the only time most of us are "free", though there's likely a few folks who won't be getting in on time for that. But with Tournaments and other late night games, freelancer meetings, and other sundry gatherings, free time's a premium. I'll talk with Caine a bit, see what he thinks, but... Let's say tentatively, The Ram Brewery, from 9 PM till whenever everyone staggers home? Alternatively, if for some reason the Ram is booked out (I know one year the Diana Jones awards were being held there), or if more people like the idea, Claddagh is pretty nice as well. Both places are pretty decent and not horribly priced, and are my #2 and #3 favorite dining establishments (My number 1 is Weber Grill, which is amazing, but a little more pricey and they're more a restaurant than a bar, so they don't stay open late). I'll start a new thread, get some feedback, and we'll decide something "formally" in a few days. Bull |

I'll be going, but will be running a booth for PCGen (note: Booth 1925) and since I'm the only volunteer available I won't have much time to do anything qhile the Hall is open. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/frown.gif)
I am planning to get to the M&G since I missed it last year. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/frown.gif) |

John_doe--I'll be running your Author's table. There will be characters there for you, or feel free to bring your own.

Very much looking forward to this game. Any guidelines for making your own character? Standard 400 points? Missions creation rules? |

Nope, just bring a character you've played before if you'd like, or build a new one. I will adjust the game to fit the characters that make it to the table.

The short version--Most of the GMs get along well and go to dinner or hangout in the evenings. The night before the con started, we all met in one of the GMs rooms (who was sharing the room with Tiger Eyes). She walked in on a pack of ten or so unruly GMs talking, laughing, and drinking. That was her introduction to several of the GMs and a few freelancers...
The long version, well, is longer than I want to type. I'll tell the story to anyone who finds me at GenCon. |

I'll be there again, working for the Man. I'll be helping to run the Scramble and doing some other One Shots doing improv comedy in the Who's Run is it Anyway show on Saturday. If you have the time, I highly recommend that last one. We always make it worth your time.

I was there and I can attest to Tiger Eyes being there without her PJs on.
If you grill BishopMcQ for intel, make sure he relates the story about winning Gen Con with a well-timed off-color joke. |

I thought we NDA'd that discussion...but yes, there are stories to be told. There have even been rumors of a secret freelancer game with one open chair, but we can never trust rumors.
