I don't think it's been discussed yet, but I think it's a fine idea. Let's do it.

Here is a good a place as any. I'll bring game munchies (things to snack on while you play) and beer.

mrlost · Post by **mrlost** » Sun Mar 08, 2009 11:59 am

I'll bring punch and pie again. Also probably bringing Redfox too, again.

BlanchPrez · Post by **BlanchPrez** » Mon Mar 09, 2009 3:59 pm

I can make my ever-popular dip again.

I also feel this. I feel so much these days.

Sadohara · Post by **Sadohara** » Fri Mar 27, 2009 8:22 pm

I feel a little bit dead inside. I need the Hyph to bring me back to life.

mrlost · Post by **mrlost** » Sat Mar 28, 2009 12:00 am

So looking forward to it. Was done with prep the moment In Spaaace! won out over Nobilis.

Wintermute · Post by **Wintermute** » Sat Mar 28, 2009 12:32 pm

Neuro and I will be bringing one more.

devlin1 · Post by **devlin1** » Sat Mar 28, 2009 8:00 pm

I believe I have two friends coming, and PK mentioned bringing Redfox, and Morgan (Ellis) is hopefully still at least a maybe -- all of which means we may hit or exceed our max of 19, even if Neuro and Morgan are the only Maybes to cross over. Record numbers!

One of my friends (David), if he comes, will probably bring Baron Munchausen, which he's been dying to play ever since I showed it to him. If that's the case, it may very well be possible to have a "breakout" game for a few people, if necessary, running alongside an established timeslot. And maybe Morgan could run Spirit of the Shattered Earth, if he feels like it -- that's another no-prep game.

mordraine · Post by **mordraine** » Sat Mar 28, 2009 8:51 pm

Don't forget that Blanchprez and Skyman have back-up games too.

I actually already have. I've gots pre-gens ready to go, and the basic outline of the adventure set up. Sounds like I'm ahead of the game. :)

Chris

Sadohara · Post by **Sadohara** » Mon Mar 30, 2009 8:28 am

I assume that we are doing signups the same way as last year: first come, first served at the venue itself?

Should we discuss alternatives or just leave it be?

We were planning on doing it as usual. Sign-up sheets, first come, first served.

Why, you have other ideas?

I've got 2 maybes from my tuesday night group (that Sadohara is also in) - Mark (whom some of you have met) and Chris (whom none of you have met). 'Maybes' in the sense that we have mentioned The Hyph to them and they showed some interest, but nothing firm yet.

Anyway, sounds like we have backup games fairly well covered, but I'll try to remember to throw Og into my gaming bag just in case.

BlanchPrez · Post by **BlanchPrez** » Mon Mar 30, 2009 3:51 pm

I also have a couple of maybe's from my bi-weekly D&D game that could show up. I hope this isn't too many people.

Chris

No worries. Our backup games can provide spots for 10 more people or so. I think we've got it covered like a jimmy-hat.

devlin1 · Post by **devlin1** » Mon Mar 30, 2009 4:33 pm

Can you imagine 28 (or whatever) attendees for Hyphen Con? Man... steppin' up to the big leagues!

Chris[/quote]

I am very interested but not committed, as are two of my cohorts. We will decide shortly. However, I know some of us definitely will not be able to arrive until after the first session starts (maybe 2 PM). This also means we won't get dibs on the sign-up sheet (lame). So if I'm going to go, which I may, I don't like first come, first served, since I will be last served.

SpaceMonkey · Post by **SpaceMonkey** » Wed Apr 01, 2009 10:12 am

FYI - One of my maybes is out, the other confirmed.

mrlost · Post by **mrlost** » Fri Apr 03, 2009 1:11 pm

I'm definitely bringing Redfox tomorrow, fizzy fruit punch, an apple pie, and possibly a pecan pie if I can find some tomorrow. Yippie!

devlin1 · Post by **devlin1** » Fri Apr 03, 2009 1:21 pm

Sweet! That's at least, what, three guests already?

I have one guest confirmed for a noon game, and another who's on the fence for the full day.

Sadohara · Post by **Sadohara** » Fri Apr 03, 2009 1:37 pm

I'm bringing a heart-cracking but delicious hashbrown casserole for all the vegetarians in the house.

Unless they are lactose-intolerant. In which case, there will be trouble in River City.

cczernia · Post by **cczernia** » Fri Apr 03, 2009 3:46 pm

CaptC might be bring a guest as well.

That's the bad side. The good side is that every game is going to be awesome, so you won't really lose out.

mordraine · Post by **mordraine** » Fri Apr 03, 2009 4:09 pm

Oh and incidentally, I will be bringing bottled water and sodypop.

devlin1 · Post by **devlin1** » Fri Apr 03, 2009 4:22 pm

~~[quote="mordraine"]~~Oh and incidentally, I will be bringing bottled water and sodypop.[/quote]
I hope that sodypop doesn't include these Cokes in your fridge, because I'm drinkin' one right now. (Or, if you prefer, "I'm in ur house, drinking ur Cokez." However, I don't prefer that.)

The call is coming from inside the house. Get out now!

What type of Sodypoop?

Damn! I would love to go, but I get off work in an hour, and I have to be back in the afternoon! L:-( Maybe I can swing by pass out my info, and let everyone know that I am looking for a RPG Group.

Definitely! Come on by, if even just to introduce yourself and meet some people.

jimmy corrigan · Post by **jimmy corrigan** » Sat Apr 04, 2009 9:43 am

yeah, you should for sure come on down!

JALU3 · Post by **JALU3** » Sat Apr 04, 2009 7:01 pm

Thank you all for holding the con, accepting me, and to those who Hosted the event. Although I came really late 1800, and to leave early 1930ish it was fun ... In Space!
Hopefully we'll all see each other more and game together in the future.

Maybe next year I will get time off for the event and bring lumpia

jimmy corrigan · Post by **jimmy corrigan** » Sun Apr 05, 2009 2:28 am

Skyman · Post by **Skyman** » Sun Apr 05, 2009 2:48 am

Fun times

Both games I was in were the longest and well worth it

devlin1 · Post by **devlin1** » Sun Apr 05, 2009 2:54 am

Oh my God I have to sleep but that was a lot of fun.

SpaceMonkey · Post by **SpaceMonkey** » Sun Apr 05, 2009 3:07 am

Sleep lame, con fun. All hail the Hyph!

Wintermute · Post by **Wintermute** » Sun Apr 05, 2009 6:47 am

That was an absolute blast, thanks to Mord (and his company) for hosting and everyone who showed up for attending! I'm already looking forward to the 2010 hyph (and have a whole year to plan my giant slimes as player characters game).

Neuro · Post by **Neuro** » Sun Apr 05, 2009 11:08 am

I had SO much fun. Thanks everybody!

Skyman · Post by **Skyman** » Sun Apr 05, 2009 12:03 pm

Disclaimer for the Star Trek game!

It was not Jimmy Corrigans fault it ran for so long. It was the players getting into character and having fun. You can't stop the fun!!!!

That was hilarious

BlanchPrez · Post by **BlanchPrez** » Sun Apr 05, 2009 12:26 pm

Hyphen-Con was, indeed, awesome this year. I had a total blast, as normal. :)

I think for next year, I'm going to work on a Torg conversion for Savage Worlds.

Chris

mrlost · Post by **mrlost** » Sun Apr 05, 2009 12:31 pm

Thanks again Mord for the venue, and letting us try DRYH.
As usual I had a great time. I only wish that I hadn't been so late on arriving so as to have gotten to see what all the Trek fuss was about.
