Countdown to Total Confusion 2014

[Black Jack Rackham]

9 Days Left

[Black Jack Rackham]

8 Days! (Mike when are you getting into town?)

[Black Jack Rackham]

Another snowstorm coming today. Which is fine with me so long as we just get them all over with at some point before next Thurs (7 days from now!)

[Sister Sonya]

Mike when are you getting into town?

Wednesday, Feb 19, at 1:37 PM; returning Monday Feb 24 at 12:18 PM.

[Black Jack Rackham]

6 Days! (and it looks like we're supposed to get snow today, tomorrow and possibly Tues, so it should be all cleared by the time TC starts)

[Black Jack Rackham]

5 days left!!!

The only event I got into was the PA. Looks like I will be relying on generics and a little nepotism Saturday.

DAD? IS THAT YOU?!?!

4 DAYS LEFT!

[Black Jack Rackham]

Edited the "Sold Out" list again. All the newest are sold out but there's still room in the PA. Tomorrow is the end of pre-reg.

Sure, if it gets me a seat at the tables

[Sister Sonya]

I leave for Boston tomorrow.

For what it's worth, I hope to leave all of the snow in Chicago!

[Rebecca Iavelli]

Well, we are supposed to have another snowstorm today, and are supposed to get around 6 to 8 inches more. Supposed to end tomorrow, so depending on when your flight is, you may be landing in more snow, lol. As far as leaving the snow behind, that's going to be quite hard, as right now we have snowbanks here in Natick, that are almost 5 feet high from the plows (basing them on my height, and if I can see over them or not, lol.) So while we are supposed to be getting some warm weather this weekend, and rain tomorrow, there is still lots of snow on the ground, and if it gets really warm, there may be some flooding, so bring your waders.

[Sister Sonya]

I won't be leaving Boston for the 'burbs until late Friday, so the wading might be serious by then.

The pushed snowbanks in my cul-de-sac are now 10 feet high with the snow that we got Monday.

[Black Jack Rackham]

Yup supposed to be good weather (well, warm at least) throughout the con. Two days of rain but one day in the 50s (YAY). Everything's all set to go (though it doesn't look like my book will be ready for sale so I'll have to push the short stories that are free on the website (http://www.daddywritesgood.comif you're curious*)

*It's not live yet but will be up thurs at the latest.

[Sister Sonya]

I'd better take an umbrella then. See you at the Con...

[Black Jack Rackham]

Have a good flight Mike, see you on Saturday.

It all starts tomorrow folks!

[Sister Sonya]

I'd better take an umbrella then.

Yup... Went out to get tourist info then to eat in Chinatown. Didn't take the umbrella. First snow, then rain, got soaked.

[Black Jack Rackham]

Day 1 down and as usual we had quite a run! 17 players for two games. AND amazingly I haven't lost my voice...yet. Ran WAY over on the first run of Ep. 7.(players were having too much fun amongst themselves and I didn't want to spoil it.)

[Rebecca Iavelli]

Total Con is officially over now, both Mark and I are at our own homes, and we had a good time. It was one of the biggest TC's that I can remember. People were already gaming at tables while we ("We" being Total Con, as I work for them, as well as help Mark on HOA)came to set up our offices and other stuff on Wednesday, and the Con started on Thursday.
But a couple of our tables didn't run, one of the first ones on Thursday, and DOMINGO GIGANTE! on Sunday, but otherwise our tables were pretty full.

That's all I'm going to say, as I'll let Mark give the update on how everything went otherwise.

Mike, hope you had a safe trip back to Chicago!

[Sister Sonya]

Mike, hope you had a safe trip back to Chicago!

Yup, plane arrived late so we left late. Arrived back safely with temperature 20 and wind 15 mph.

[Black Jack Rackham]

Alright, Laura wanted a report, and I've been busy but here it is!

First, the new games were a huge success! The first night of Ep 7 I actually had to turn folks away after we got our 10th player. But despite the overstuffed table, the substance of the adventure really made it absolutely perfect for a large group!

I ran full tables at every session (save the Mouseguard, but given it was sunday and for kids I wasn't expecting all that many, though we did end up with 6 of the 8 showing up)

Personal Agendas was, as usual, a huge success, though our newest member here, John Sussenberger (who's now had to suffer through both a Paella craze and herding cats) hates me with a passion. But on the plus side, Admaximumace (Antonio Arayas) is probably willing to have my baby

I won't give details about individual adventures (since sharing or not is up to that individual) but I will say a great deal of fun was had by all.

[Rebecca Iavelli]

I think you mean the Personal Agendas, not Domingo Gigante, as it did not run this year at Total, since only one person showed up.

[Black Jack Rackham]

Ahem...
What are you talking about Laura, I wrote Personal Agendas...

[Rebecca Iavelli]

LOL, after I corrected you, LOL!
