At this point it would be easier if we just didn't have a game on the 11th. I can look for my D&D books and Bob still has to get used to getting up at those crazy hours.

Lets focus on the 18th for Star Wars that way we can have Mike.

When I am a guest at a convention I am there to entertain people and add to the fun they have at the event. thus, unless the game session is advertised as one where the objective is to kill the PCs--and I've done a few of those--I try to keep PCs alive. Of course if a player doesn't want to have his character survive, the natural selection process of the game environment will take over.

it does take some getting used to being here at 5:30am but so far i like it.

Because World of Warcraft has been the leading culprit in dumbing down the genre to make it easy enough for the mainstream audience who has never heard of an MMO before to hop in and enjoy. Now, this isn't necessarily bad. But the soaring popularity of World of Warcraft has pigeonholed the entire industry into creating clones in order to be successful.

I am not sure about the game now, I just got a call from my dad that my uncle passed away after a motorcycle accident.

I'll keep you guys posted once I get more details.

A good game might be what I need to clear my head but I don't know when the arrangements are going to be.

Ok we are good for Star Wars at my place around 3PM.

The service is going to be at 10am so I will have plenty of time to pay my respects.

I hate to throw a wrench in the works, but I may no longer be able to make it on the 18th. You may have read this morning that the site had both units trip off line (unusual, but not alarming), but that means that I've already been "invited" to work this evening and will likely be working the evening of the 18th as well. They haven't told me I'm working that evening, but just a hunch.

No biggie, it is what it is. I'm still down if Bob and Dan want to play.

Ok, so in a real life stealth check I slipped past the scheduler who was waiting in ambush in our ready room (break room) to catch folks on their way out for scheduling. Thus I have not been "invited" to work on the 18th and should be able to make it.

That was the best thing I've read all day. I'm still laughing rather hard. Reminds me of that one scene in office space about working saturday. Gosh what a great movie.

Bob and Dan, are you guys down?

Bob I know you said you were tired and not sure at work, but I think that was your lack of sleep talking. I'll get you some red bull. jk

And so very true. Generally work isn't like that, but when they suddenly want a bunch of people to come in not at their normal times with little notice it plays out just the same. Having just come off a 72 hour week (a little planned overtime added with some that wasn't) I can't say I felt like pitching in much more.

Looks like the next game will be the 29th for star wars.

Rich's dnd game is the 21st I think, but I have no control over that.
