One More Time

[unforth]

Okay! This is my last attempt to get a final count. This Thursday, the 29th of June, is the start of Origins. Origins is a gaming convention in Columbus, Ohio (about 4 hours from Bloomington, 8 hours from New York) which lasts four days. Read more about Origins!

I've been 2 times, and it's quite nice. So why am I telling you this?

Well, for those who haven't seen my previous posts about this, my brother lives about a mile away from this convention center and has no issues at all with me and my geeky friends camping out in his home for the convention. This means that folk can attend Origins and not have to pay for a place to stay! So people should figure out if they want to join us! Come for the whole four days! Come for the weekend! Come for some other number of days! Either way! Just please let me know, so I can warn my brother how many weirdos are decending on his home.

Right now, it's me, deadmanwade, eviltophat, and Kevin K. of Binghamton (damned non-LJ users...).

You know you want to join us...I have two strong words for you: come on. :)

Origins IS a great con. I miss the Big Bar on 2 something fierce.

I really like Origins, it's so much more laid back than Gencon...

[moonandserpent.livejournal.com]

It is indeed. I have very fond memories of Origins.

Wish I could join you, but I am committed to going to Boston for the weekend. *sadness*

Yeah, yeah, a fine excuse...

Very belatedly, I am sorry to say that I cannot join you either... We are mucho broke here at casa Jordan, and I'm sad to say that I am on strictly curtailed spending for the next few months.

However...if you are going to the con on Thursday, could I ask you a favor? If not, don't worry about it :)

Hooray for cons! Sorry I can't come too :(

Sure you can ask me a favor! Whatcha need? :)

Hopefully you can make it Gencon...

If you get there on Thursday, and happen to stop by Rich Burlew's table (Giant In the Playground), and he happens to have any of the "No Cure for the Paladin Blues" books left...could you pick me up one? I will pay you back, honest! Thanks so very very muchly! (And if there's none left, don't worry about it. He will hopefully have some left at GenCon...)

Speaking of which, my kid sister is coming out around GenCon time, so hopefully we will have enough $$ saved up by then to be able to go! :)

In the meantime, have a wonderful trip to Origins!

I'll see what I can do. :)

As I told deadmanwade, I'm looking for any clearance Paranoia XP stuff that isn't the core book or the expanded mutants power book. I'm looking for $10 or under type stuff. If you see anything like that and wouldn't mind picking it up, I'd be more than happy to reinburse you for it.

I'll keep my eyes open...I'm the sale bin master
