Hmph. I have to drive to Fresno on Sunday and be there all week for work. Which means, in case you haven't guessed, I'll have to miss out on 1883 again. Rassinfrassin.

mordraine

That is awesome! Where's that from?

[quote="Skyman"]"yeah I do. Step aside...well it's not too bad. We need to brace it between two planks after I'm done." I peer at the persons arm and then to the eyes. "I'm the doctor." "So?" "Trust me, this is going to hurt." I set the bones back in place and go deaf as the person screams in my ea...

[quote="jimmy corrigan"]"Ra-- Rachel," the young woman musters. "Have you seen my mom?"[/quote] A note in the young girl's voice struck a D-minor, and brought forth unbidden, an image of Yvette's adolescent face, tears and blood streaking it dirty. I clamped down hard on that memory, and tried eras...

[quote="jimmy corrigan"]"Thanks for the hand, but what makes you think I know anymore about this Godforsaken dump than you do?" she shoots back.

Hey guys,

I won't be able to game this Monday because I'll be going to see a couple of bands play at The Belly Up. Sorry!

[quote="jimmy corrigan"]"Didn't you idiots hear me?" Renee asks. "When I say, get down," she continues, "it'd be wise to listen." In the distance you hear faint animal noises. Further ahead through the smoke you make out a silhouette of a large mountain-- well, volcano, you figure. Behind you you h...

Damn it. This situation started fucked up and just got worse from there. I staggered out of the rapidly collapsing remains of the shredded canvas tent, the image of the kid's jagged-rock-impaled body still painted onto my retinas. Outside, ash billowed, thick as tortilla soup. Oh swell. And me with ...

I blinked at the receding figure of Renee Truffaut-Balfour, not quite controlling my open-mouthed look of surprise. But then my mind was occupied with other, more urgent matters. I stumbled and fell on my ass as a massive Earthquake rolled under me. That's right, capital E Earthquake. 9.5, 10.0... w...

I woke up with a start. I was lying on my back, staring up at a canvas ceiling. Moans and scuffles and mumbles drifted to my ears. Out of my peripheral vision I saw other people shuffling about, trying to get their bearings. Double-you tee eff? OK, Caruso, what did you get yourself into NOW? Alright...

mordraine

Yes it is.

mordraine

Huh. Neato.

I loved Time Tunnel growing up. I remember taking an old cardboard box and putting it on a hill in our backyard and playing Time Tunnel by rolling through the box. In fact, I was just JUST looking at the DVD set on Amazon last night. Weird coincidence. I also watched Electra-Woman and Dyna-Girl all ...

mordraine

Hi everybody! Remember this show?

mordraine

We're just running with it.

mordraine

Well damn.

Shakespeare's syphilis is powerful, and his crabs are awe inspiring. But his herpes is so fantastic that it can take on all the classic villains.

I probably won't be buying this book cuz I can't really see myself using it, but holy mackerel did they pick a good illo for the cover:

mordraine

I believe our idea had something to do with being slave owners in the Deep South pre-civil war era.

mordraine

Have a happy day!

mordraine

Mike, will you be getting a room at the Mariotte again?

Oh, and I'm thinking of running a '70s/'80s action TV show type game (ala Charlie's Angels and A-Team), using PDQ.

mordraine

Hey guys, thanks for being more concentrated and quieter last night. It was much appreciated, and I think was a more pleasant gaming session because of it. Thanks!

mordraine

Weird. I thought he died a long time ago!

mordraine

There has been a lot of disruption at the table, yes. Loud disruption. We have a lot of loud people in our group and with 7 of us at the table, it gets distracting. I'd like to ask a favor to everyone to keep it at a lower decibel level, in deference to my neighbors... :)

mordraine

How did you guys like the GUMSHOE system?

mordraine

Also failed a vigor roll vs. electricity. To be fair, the target number is pretty difficult. Would have to get a bunch of raises.

[quote="devlin1"]What'm I looking at, here? Is he pointing a watch at that guy?[/quote] This incident is causing all sorts of headlines in the sports world, and also a minor controversy.

Check.

mordraine

See you guys at 6!

mordraine

I'm showing up too!

mordraine

~~[quote="mcellis"]~~Thanks for hosting, I had a great time and some great games.[/quote]

Glad you could come down Morgan! Had a great time in the Dresden game. Can't hardly wait to have those books in my hands!

mordraine

Thanks to the hardcore gamers who stayed to the bitter end on Sunday. With the "Kore thank-you fund" you guys sprung on me, I was able to get the Kore guys a bunch of bagels for breakfast this morning, as thanks for providing the facility! Thanks again!

mordraine

Thanks to everyone for showing up! As always, it's the quality of the participants that makes Hyphen-Con fun!

mordraine

Great pics Chris!

And thanks to everyone who came out to The Hyph's unprecedented Day 2 (the board game day)! Day 2 also saw a raffle-schmaffle, with prizes provided by our sponsor The Gamer's Torch (located in scenic Pacific Beach) Winners: Danielle (Skyman's wife) - Chrononauts card game Mike (Devlin1) - Gloom card...

Thanks to everyone for coming out to Day 1 of The Hyph and making it a huge success once again! This year, as you all know, we had a raffle to give out 5 free RPG PDF's from our gracious sponsors DriveThru RPG. Here are the winners: Simon (Skyman) - Realms of Cthulhu PK (mrlost) - Karma RPG Core Rul...

Just saw this now, so don't know if you're already on your way. We have plenty of drinks actually. Feel free to bring something food related.

mordraine

~~[quote="Cthulhu"]~~I'm unfortunately going to have to un-RSVP myself. I had some health issues this week. I'm ok, but I won't be functional for a week or so. Sorry for the late notice.[/quote]
Crap John! Hope you're ok! Get better and don't worry!

[quote="devlin1"]We could have a posterboard or something downstairs by the front door, and you pick a spot when you come in.

I have 6 players.

Oh, and if you're looking for background images for mine, you can use either of these:

I'm still favoring random luck as the method of give-away, with everyone in attendance eligible. Raffle is the drop-dead easiest way to do it and since there are +-30 in attendance this year, probably the quickest too.

mordraine

~~[quote="Wintermute"]~~Neuro and I will be attending and bringing bbq chicken sammiches (and maybe some rotel dip).[/quote]

Coolness! It'll be good to see you and Liz again!

mordraine

~~[quote="DeadDogg"]~~Was also thinking of bringing the ~~[b]~~Order of the Stick[/b] boardgame for Sunday and would be happy to help others take advantage and kill each other in cartoon/stickdom goodness. Any takers?[/quote]

Sounds like fun! Bring it along!

mordraine

It's based on a French comic book from the '70s, I guess. Dark Horse did an English translation of it back in the early '90s but they're really hard to find and are fairly expensive. And here's a really appropriate place to say "Le sigh."

mordraine

I'll get back from Irv around 7-ish. So y'all can get there around the same time.
