You can also wait until Origins and the volunteers can fix it for you. (with a much higher likelihood of success).

Two weeks from today I will be laying down to sleep at the Crowne Plaza in Columbus, getting ready for gaming starting the next day!!!

BTW Dave, William Chew is a jerk. He posted this on the Unofficial Origins FB page this morning.

Ah, Bill... We really encouraged the trollish behavior a bit too much in his youth.

You should have seen the Macy's website the year they advertised Black Friday with "What's better than getting a head start on holiday shopping?"

Bill posted (on their site) "Spending time with your family and loved ones who got a day off for a change.". It lasted about half an hour before the site took everything down.

Just about ready for the countdown! 11 days until I leave, 12 until we start rolling dice!

If YOU are rolling the dice, something has gone wrong with the adventure.

I am so looking forward to this!!!

Is it wrong that I've been re-reading my PA write-up in anticipation? :D

Just as a note, the area of the Short North (that is, north of the convention center on High Street) is essentially one huge construction site right now. It's messing with traffic and sidewalks, so be prepared if you plan to venture that direction. On the upside, the work on the convention center itself is apparently done, so yay!

This is the third remodel they have completed since I started attending.

And if I ever travel to Original without hitting construction zones on the way, something has gone wrong and it will be time to stop attending. (In Ohio, that guarantees my showing up)

I don't know if any of the other guys have noticed this but every Origins, usually around Friday morning, some jerk starts scrawling graffiti on the men's room wall. "The anarchist was here"... Not exactly creative or anarchic as it is always the same thing.

I keep hoping this is the year "the anarchist" develops a little respect for our host's walls.

Updated the events (top of page 2) to list our location for this year, tl;dr, Go to Morrow (though fully half of our games are listed as Marrow).

That was actually on the spreadsheet. Last damn column where nobody looks.

Tell you what, you run in Morrow, I will run in Marrow.

So the Origins site booklet is online. I looked it over, finally reaching the clubs section. I look down the list with baited breath, and there we are:

The Build of San Marcos.....

So we are running a continuous campaign of Sim City the RPG, with the ultimate evil, the person you cannot trust, the Builder called Bob...

The Build of San Marcos...I can do that. If they thought the last remodel tore shit up, wait'll I get the sledgehammers out.

Ahem...The Build of San Marcos uses the Lego system. Rules will be taught, skills will not. Players will be required to join Henchmen local 794.
