Hi Heather, thank you for your kindness. I have sent you an email, one has bounced back, so I've done a test one and one with the thread numbers.
My email is hevs1971@hotmail.com if for some reason you don't get them.
Sounds like you had a great time away.

ConnCon sounds like it was fun! I'll have to add it to the list of potential cons. :)

We had a blast at ConnCon. The con itself is very well organized and run. Absolute kudos there. The hotel was great in all respects I experienced, although I hear there were complaints. None from me and Brian! Our floor was quiet, and it turned out we knew one of our "neighbours" and he's a quiet guy. All was good on that front. The bathrooms were kept clean (unlike a previous experience), there were actually garbage cans in each room (this time!) and the staff were helpful. I have heard a number of complaints about the restaurant, but we avoided them by avoiding it. After $14 for a chicken ceasar salad the last time we were at this hotel, we avoid it at all costs. The salad was good, but not that good… Now, the Thin Mints Girl Scout cookies on the other hand were great. Those kids must have cleaned up! Every slot the kids were the ones who went around to collect the tickets and reporting forms, and once that was done, they came around with the "cookie cart". I think the last number I heard (several hours before the end of the con) was that they'd sold 168 cases of cookies. Happy, often hungry, gamers sitting at a table for hours, talk about a captive market! The gaming went well. I played one slot and had a blast. Namfoodle and Brother John should not be allowed to play together, we get into too much mischief! I also played a new card game that I think I'll have to pick up called Three Dragon Ante. We had a blast playing it, so it's going on the shopping list. My judging went well, with one minor exception. The feedback I got was good and generally positive. I can't really say that I liked judging in a con environment. It was way too loud, and I have almost no voice left. I only got to run one mod in one of the littler rooms (the rest were in the big ballrooms) and that would have helped a lot. I much prefer to have more time available to keep going with the roleplaying. I WILL NOT run an investigative mod at a con ever again. I did generally do well with my pacing and kept to within 30 minutes of slot end, and finished 3 within the slot time. Given I've had mods run 90 minutes past the end, I'm quite happy with that aspect. I thought I could probably run them in the time allowed, it's nice to have that confirmed. I have at least one player who is NOT HAPPY with me over a "curse" he received in the mod at the last slot. It's a blessing from a good deity. The deity's own clerics are NOT going to remove it. Get over it.
I leave you with the ugliest female half-orc in existance. I admit responsibility for the clothing, nothing else! [Image]
