This is a FOR SUERE "GO"

Right now there are three spots as options for the event, and one of them includes playing the RPG.

So, if you are in the area, or will be in the area, let me know and I'll be sure you are added to the list to be kept in the loop.

Is this thread the best place to send folks for info in this event, or is discussion happening elsewhere?

Currently this is the only thread.

As we get closer, I'll bet there'll be more discussion.

So is this going to be planned for Monday the 31st, or Sunday the 30th? My cousin and I are both intrigued, but prolly won't be able to make it to a Monday night event.

This is a strong possibility for me, depending on beggar's night for my grand-daughter. There are a couple exhibits at the Nelson that i'd like to see.  :-)  Keep me posted as you set up times etc. The 31st might actuallly be best for me. Doubt I'd hang out longer than dinner, but it would be fun!

Actually the details are still a bit up in the air.  Wife and I have bounced back and forth on Sunday or Monday.  We may have an apartment's clubhouse available and some DFRPGs able to be run.  I'll try to get some things nailed down in the next couple of weeks.

Consider it done.

It was fun.  Played games, chit-chatted.  Had cake...
