Trogland Meetup VIII: Now with the appropriate amount of tentacles!

I don't appear to have a larger image for my avatar, sorry.

No worries. From any appreciable distance, it really isn't that noticeable. If you were happy with last year's, this year's will be just as good. I just figured I'd post the reminder for anyone who might have a larger version on-hand that there may be some some minor benefit to getting me something a bit larger. Not a big deal.

[Philistine]

Ah, excellent. Thank you.

[Penguinsushi]

Finishing badges today. Planning to get them printed tomorrow.

3 more days!

Here's a good last-minute question: would anyone be interested in a pickup RPG friday night? I was thinking FATE Core and doing something collaborative and improv'd. Exactly what would be up to the table. Thought it could be fun. Any takers?

~PS

[Gryffon]

I would likely be up for it.

[smellie_hippie]

I might be up for a Fate game.

Come to think of it... I don't think I've ever played an RPG with Gryff. Sounds fun!

FYI, I will not be staying up late on Friday, in preparations for the Ropes Course...

edit: @V Oh yeah... I had forgotten that part. Ok. Um.... still sounds like fun... so... um.... *brain bleach*

What were you saying?

[Gryffon]

I think we played together in Mango's game, when I filled in for De.

[Reinholdt]

I'd be willing to get in on such a game.

Nephews got me Space Alert. Don't know how feasible it'll be to play a game that requires a cd player of some sort, but I'm bringing it anyways.

Also, got a skinny card table to fit between hotel beds. I r smart.

[Penguinsushi]

Cool. Sounds like there's probably a critical mass, then. I'll put that up.

I'll bring my laptop.

I've never played Fate and might be interested. OTOH, RPGs tend to take whole nights and I was thinking of doing the Little Fears thing, and given that I'll only have a couple nights to visit with everyone it seems a little counterproductive to spend both nights playing long games with small static groups of people...

[Recaiden]

Probably interested in the FATE game.

At late notice, I definitely have a way to get there, and have +1 person with me.

[Mauve Shirt]

Ooo leave a space at the FATE table for me!!!

[KerfuffleMach2]

Wow. Just now saw this.

Too late for me to get stuff together and come down.

Hopefully I can next year, though.

[Penguinsushi]

@Recaiden - Awesome. I just got badges printed last night, but will have a blank one for your friend. Registration cost is still the same on the site and "at the door". Do to a third-party error, there's plenty of this year's freebie/"swag" item, so I think the custom badge is the only think late-comers will miss out on this year.

@KerfuffleMach2 - Alas. Yeah, no matter how much we talk about it, there are, invariably, always a few people who unfortunately didn't notice until it was too late. This is something we do every year, though, so yeah - definitely try to make it next time!


Wow. FATE filled up fast. Glad I made the suggestion - this'll be fun!

Also, reprinted the Little Fears cards (and finally added some flavor text to the event page) - really looking forward to that one, too!

2 more days!

This sounds almost impossible for anyone to hurt themselves with

Maybe if you hadn't said anything it would have been okay. Now it's almost guaranteed to happen.

[mangosta71]

Now Rabbit has to come. We need a medic.

[Mauve Shirt]

I agree, Rabbs should come.

[Reinholdt]

And it'll be Krade's fault, I just know it.

I didn't do it! I wasn't even in the room! I was literally sleeping when that happened!

In other news, I'm an idiot that fails at communication something fierce. Now I'm here needing to work tomorrow and Lex was planning to pick me up in the morning. Not to worry, though. We have worked out several possible solutions (exactly which one we go with will be worked out in the morning). Worst case, very little sleep happens Thursday night. Best (i.e. incredibly unlikely) case, we'll be there by sunset tomorrow.

Edit: Ah, the benefits of a good reputation at work. Also the inexplicably packed schedule helped, too. I guess that best case scenario wasn't nearly as unlikely as I thought it was.

[Penguinsushi]

T-Minus 4 hours

Gearing up. Event-horizon crossed! Prepare for impact!

[KuReshtin]

I know you guys just finished up yesterday, and some might not have left yet, but I'm still going to throw it out there:

The Internet needs pics of the Trogland meetup!

[Lex-Kat]

I'm home. Long trip. Night.

[Penguinsushi]

So! Meetup was great! Here are this penguin's photos of the goings-on!

The Fate game was quite interesting and a lot of fun. Our two-session Little Fears conclusion was fantastic. Thanks to Alarra, De, Gryf, Hippie, Recaiden, Treehawk, Lex, Reinholdt, Bardic Bunny, Phil and Mango for playing in my games and making them awesome!

Kubb was played! I hear board games were fun!?

Anyway, a universally great time!

Right?

...Right?

...well, you know, except for the fact that we had more traveling issues than all of the other meetup years put together. Sheesh. Thanks to everyone who endured all of that to hang out with us. Seriously.

Last I heard, Hippie was suggesting our theme for next year be "Trogland 9, Travel Is Fine!"

~PS

[Cuthalion]

Hm. Who has the tie-dye shirt and beard?

I wish you had those pictures with itP usernames in. But not everyone might want that. Ah well.

[smellie_hippie]

Seriously?

It is the man who was blessedly (but sadly) free from knife wounds this year... *

*If you have to ask, you don't know me very well...
