I somehow missed the announcements about TotalCon's Event Registration opening. I will get right on that.

Alas, the new venue near Westborough looks to be even tougher overall for an out-of-town visitor than the one in Mansfield.

Yea about a 17 minute commute from the Westborough MBTA stop (14 minutes from the Southboro one) assuming you can find a taxi right there when you get off the train.

At the hotel, Friday is already sold out. Only the Deluxe rate of $159 seems availlable for Saturday.

got a PM from Steven requesting that I have the separate GMs post their own games (rather than having me put them all in). So I will be waiting until Supernatural starts to have Laura and Megan put their games in (or at least give me the codes to log in as them and put their events in).

Got an update from the TC folks. A new Events Grid (which can be found HERE) with the event locations on them. To make things easier on you, I edited my events list above with the locations. TL:DR version? Other than our very first event, go to the Southborough Room and find either table 2 or 5.

@Scott, heh I didn't even see that til just now...

So, Day 1 is done, Two Flashbacks with 2-3 noobs and at least one who was a noob last year. (Megan might chime in to correct me). And at least two of those came back for the second Flashback (with high praise to be had all around).

Episode 13 was quite good. Heroes took a whole different tack, following a red herring (which I didn't even realize was there) for a good portion of the adventure before they got on track. Had to skip a bit of things (as usual) but learned a couple of things I will add to our GM FAQ. The end was particularly satisfying, with faces agape when I revealed the twist.
