ConnCon March 2011, Stamford CT

I was gonna offer to bring the really nasty horseracing game as well. I brought it the N.E. games and pie conclave thingey, but there were no takers. It's definitely a lot more fun when the liquors flowing...

I've never played TI:3, so I'd certainly love to check it out, but I think I'll probably be in the quantity over quality camp with King Put.

I'm totally down with the Nasty Horseracing game. I just picked up my own copy recently to boot.

I love Uba's choices. Anyone up for some obscure weirdness? Perhaps Zev will being something off beat or some AT protos.

Steve"AT A.D.D."Avery

If I can make it (still finalizing conference plans), I'd love to play Really Nasty Horse Racing Game...that would be near top of list. I'd like to try Defenders of the Realm, too. I wouldn't mind trying Middle Earth Quest if someone is up for that...and not too long.

I'm with KingPut--I had more fun at Averyfest not being tied down too long to a monster game. Let me meet more people and talk more.

Maybe Zev can bring a protype of the Z-Man version of Battle Beyond Space.

If anyone has Tumblin Dice--that's one I've always wanted to try (I'd have traded almost anything on my list for that in the recent math trade).

I've got World Cup Game that I haven't played yet--but I'd love to play that with a big group out there if anyone has it and played it.

Maybe Betrayal at House on the Hill

PS about Bobby Valentine, Matt....I knew he was CT originally, but didn't know he was still in hometown. I grew up in the Tri-State area, so I remember reading some of that stuff in the Record.

I can. Richard rethemed it to the Defenders of the Realm card game. Some of the mechanics for scoring the locations changed. I think he has a proto of it he can bring. I have no idea when Eagle is planning to put it out.

It was crazy. I suggested he might consider the rethem of that a day before we left for Origins last year. The next morning, he shows up with a completely redone proto (looking like a finished copy mind you.) He started at 7 the morning before and stayed up till 3 that night. Then we left for Origins at 5 and drove all day. Each day we'd wake at 8 and stay gaming till 2. I've got a lot of energy and need little sleep but he doesn't sleep at all.

And I had NOTHING to do with that.

I have the new edition can can toss that in my stuff so people can see it and decide which they like better too.

Tumblin Dice is almost always set up somewhere for most of the weekend.

I just got the final go-ahead to come down Friday evening, game all day Saturday, and come back Sunday morning. Do I need to register for Friday to get in on the social hour, or will that happen outside the paid attendee area?

I'm psyched!

Hey all ... just a note to let you know that ConnCon preregistration is live!

Do remember that there's tons of open gaming going on in addition to the scheduled games on the website!

I'll message you privately about that ...

Registration page looks all messed up for me, basically just the drop downs of events and nothing else.

I'm kidnapping Malloc for his birthday and dragging his ass up to Conncon.
When is everyones estimated arrival time and where the big meet up. We'll be arriving about 3 or 4 in the afternoon on Friday.

I'm coming Friday. Afternoon works for me. I leave late Sat night though.

I'm getting into the hotel on Friday afternoon around 2-3 pm or so.

Launius and I will be at the hote late Thursday night and are flying back out Sunday evening. We're in for the long haul BayBee...

Steve"Looking forward to it"Avery
