I know Dan is planning a game with the people I used to work with, but if anyone wants to just get a game here and there I'm up for it.

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.

Magic Workstation

Look for me on AIM if you wanna try it out.

My upstairs is all jacked up (electric) so I'm on the crappy PC downstairs. I'm not on much on the crappy PC though.

The only way I'll be able to play magic is if people come over. That or the wife wants to take the boy.

The good thing about magic is I don't need to put 100% of my attention to the game like GMing. So I could play magic and watch Colin with ease.

I guess I'm trying to say if anyone wants to play magic on Friday/Saturday/Monday then let me know.

Magic Day 3/20/2011

For those that need directions to my house I will provide them.

I have a few basic rules.

Mostly when it comes down to food. I don't intend to order any food like we do for game nights. However there are plenty of places around, McDonalds, B King, etc. What we usually do is have someone go get little Cesars.

I WILL provide drinks and tons of snacks that anyone is welcome to.

Colin will be there and he is very social he will talk to you and he will take a large interest in what you are doing.

I plan to start around 2PM. If anyone wants to get in around 1PM I don't mind either. I also hope to be done around 7PM - 8PM.

If you want to bring a friend I don't care either.

We should make some type of fun tournament. Small prizes but something to do for fun.

I am expecting 7 people. I don't want more than 8.
