Booked my room for this!  Had a blast at the last one.

Looking forward to seeing you all there. I sorted out tickets this morning after missing the window during Gencon.

For those who may be planning on attending Gary Con, badges have been on sale since Gen Con.  There are different categories, which get you certain perks at the higher levels (like more access to the VIP events and swag).  There's an unlimited number of the Silver badges available.  But of the other levels, only 11 Gold badges are left, and the Platinum and Diamond badges are all sold out.

Which one comp'd you for unlimited hookers and booze? (or am I thinking of Vegas?)

Dates:  Thursday afternoon 2pm, Saturday afternoon 2pm
Duration:  4 hours
Required Skill Level:  Regular Play of Specific Game
Number of Players:  7
Event Description: Play Tom Moldvay's long-lost adventure module, CH-1
The Morandir Company, the unpublished prequel to CH-2 Seren Ironhand
(published by Moldvay's Challenges International in 1986), and CH-3
The Mountain King (also the unpublished).  Twelve centuries ago,
Morandir was home to the Alder Mountain dwarves.  The mines of
Morandir were famous for their rich ores and gemstones, and from the
depths of Morandir the dwarves crafted works of surpassing beauty.
The Alder dwarves dug deeper and grew richer as the centuries passed,
until one day a terrible earthquake shook the roots of the mountains.
The quake diverted the Seren River, and flooded much of Morandir,
scattering the surviving dwarves as refugees throughout the Known
World.  The Seren River still flows from a cave in the face of Alder
Mountain, but no dwarves call it home today.  No one alive has beheld
the glorious treasures cached within the mountain... until now.
Explore Tom Moldvay's unpublished treasure:  bring your graph paper,

If you're coming to NTX this year, Scott, I'll run at least one session there too.

Allan.

I'm also running a few games this year.  

Event title: The Strange Tale of Crystal Point
System: Astonishing Swordsmen & Sorcerers of Hyperborea (AS&SH)
Times: Thurs 12PM-4PM, Fri 8PM-fall asleep, Sat 12PM-4PM
Description: In the far reaches of Hyperborea's Crab Archipelago, lies a small, but mountainous island known as Crystal Point. Passing sailors have recently seen a crimson glow in Crystal Point's waters, beams of reddish-brown light shining up from its steep cliffs and unusually frequent lightning storms. One Esquimaux fisherman even claims to have seen ghostly figures haunting the island's shores. Ariston Thalassa, an Atlantean sage in Khromarium, Hyperborea's largest city, has heard these strange tales and approached your party with a promising explanation. He believes Crystal Point may hold the ruins of a lost Atlantean colony -- and its secrets! Eager for adventure and treasure, you agreed to explore the island and, after a long journey, have finally set foot on its rocky beach. An adventure for 4-6 player characters of levels 7-9.

Would it be possible to buy your DM module or a copy of it? As of today the only FRPGs i collect are AS&SH and LotFP...

Having read CH-2 I'm in agreement to really wanting to see these as well!
