Welp, Anc called it. Two more tickets sold for LA, looks like this one will be a go after all.

Now if I could just focus that precognition onto some power ball numbers.... :lol:

Lol, well, don't count on those superpowers just yet, noticed this morning that the previous two ticket holders both dropped from the game sometime recently. Back to only you and another player. So, again, the LA adventure may not be a go. Bummer.

There is a reason I've not collected my millions and quietly slipped away....

Saw a guy posted a message on the NTX FB page that he wants to submit an event for MERP.

It's unfortunate that the submission handling is so haphazard. I mean, people are asking to submit 3 weeks out from the convention. Seems like they should have been a bit more proactive in their approach to running. I would have tried to make a session of MERP, never played and would love the opportunity, but my schedule is pretty set at this point.

On the con side of things, I would have preferred if all events were submitted and approved, ample time given to view them all before pre-sale or regular ticket sales occur, but that's just a personal preference.

Oh well. I have The One Ring now and it's really cool, I've been debating on meshing information for the setting from the two sources, I think it could provide a fun time adventuring in ME.

This is an easy fix. A deadline is a deadline. If Gary-O is as overwhelmed as it appears then the decision should be even easier.

What have I told you about using logic? :lol:

I noticed that the Lex Arcana game is now filled up. Congrats!

Interesting. The last time I looked, last week or so, it was still one seat open. Glad to hear it though, I just spent time yesterday at Office Max, printing out pregens and some other stuff for my adventures. The character sheets for LA still need to be printed because I forgot to adjust the PDFs, but should get those ready to go this week.

About to go have Into the Mines of Moria spiral bound. After that its just a matter of scribbling a bit on a battle mat and the adventure is SET. 8-) Depending on hos it plays out, I could see running this at Gary Con 2023 (if we attend) and/or converting it to AD&D for same....
