Re: C&C Demo in Dallas, GA

so I ended up with 8 players ranging in age from 9 to 52 years old for a couple of hours last night. :o pretty cool.

I'll give a longer recap (with pictures) by this weekend. Just been crazy busy since last night. :)

Re: North Texas RPG con :

eh. :( may as well count me out. I just returned from GnomeCon yesterday to turn right around and go shopping for a new washing machine. *sigh* The 12-year old machine finally gave out completely. So much for budgeting for a NTRPG road trip.

ya'll have fun storming the castle... without me. :cry:

I've had a couple of regular sessions since that time, and I plan to hold another UnderM...
