Origins 2016 Pregaming Festivities

I also already booked my room (pretty much a necessity to get into the Drury). I’m booked Tuesday until Monday.

Is anyone else staying at the Drury until Monday (or later)? Did you get up-charged for Sunday night ($145 through Saturday but $165 for Sunday)? In years past, there was never an upcharge – I’m not sure if the con got cheap and only got the block until Sunday or if Drury screwed up my reservation (supposedly they gave me the con rate outside of the normal block because the front desk screwed up).

I used to stay at the Hyatt but the rooms weren’t as nice and the elevators frequently broke (which was a huge hassle). Next time I can’t get into the Drury, I plan to stay at the Hilton – opposite end from most RPGs but right across from exhibit hall, minis, and board games. Honestly, I rarely eat the free breakfast (I usually grab a couple sandwiches from Chicken & Egg as I go through the food court).

With Arcanicon behind us now and Origins on the horizon I thought I’d bump this thread. As it stands me and my friend John should be on site Tuesday 14 June around noon. We can either run or play depending on people’s needs. So start thinking about what you want either to play or run. Theoretically we could do two slots. I’m assuming the lobby of the Drury is available, but if that’s a bust I have no problem running a slot in our room at the Hyatt. Not an ideal venue but better than nothing. I can run or play pretty much anything off the list. With the time available we might even be able to do one of the BIs.

Of the two mods you listed Steve, I would be more inclined to run In Plain Sight. But it will depend on what the majority of people want. I also have no problem playing as well.

Paul, Steve, I just got off the phone with our mutual friend John. I discussed running Visions of Live Past at Origins with him and he seemed willing to do so. If no else needs to play that mod, and I’m not otherwise engaged, I could play it with a secondary character to round out a table. At that point I may actually have a Elorii to play.

Okey doke. This thread is for Tuesday games at Origins before the main event opens up. Unfortunately once the con starts I’m booked up (at least that’s the plan) and won’t have time available to run anything. Sorry you and Nicole could not make it. I assume your work schedules prevent you from making (even via online) our every other Monday game that starts at 5PM?

We’ll likely be arriving too late for an afternoon game but definitely would like to play in an evening game. I really want to get in either Visions of Lives Past or In Plain Sight (the only two arc 2 modules I still need). Failing those, my next preference would be for late Crusade HPs (HP1-9 Into the Heart of Darkness or later). Failing those, I could play any arc 2 mod on G’hyu’thyh except Elements of Faith and Horror Within.

My friend Kailey (not on the forum) still needs all of the ones I do plus more.
