You are going to be busy, Peter! I look forward to reading BatReps from your games in due course.
ReplyDeleteI should be, Jon. This year I'm actually signed up to play in 3 events, too; yet another TTS! event Thursday AM (in part to make contact with the GM for future TtS! event coordination), the attack on El Moro Friday night, and Martyn Kelly's Pavia 1525 extrvaganza Saturday AM.
DeleteShould be a lot of fun for the players, not so sure about umpiring so many games on such a short space of time!
ReplyDeleteIf you might recall, last year I GM'd 8 games (I had to pass on the 9th game Saturday AM due to coming down with COVID for the first time - I hope NOT to repeat THAT this year!) So, I', slacking off! :-)
DeleteA lovely mix of games there, but the Sea Peoples title made me chuckle:)!
ReplyDeleteYep, it's supposed to; also a common saying in my profession; "Denial isn't just a river in Egypt!"
DeleteWow looks like an amazing event.
ReplyDeleteHistoricon is mind blowing, especially the first time!
DeleteGosh, that looks like a busy schedule. I would certainly pack some paracetamol, but it looks like it will be great fun.
ReplyDeleteAs I say ever year, it's busy, but so easy compared to my job!
DeleteThere is a lot to choose from there Peter. I'll look forward to the AARs.
ReplyDeleteA lot going on for sure; over 600 games at Historicon!
DeleteTTS types making a very strong showing but good to see FOB still getting an outing
ReplyDeleteThe Saturday night Piquet/FoB game is a 25+ year tradition now!
DeleteSterling list and the roll call of other games is great stuff. Certainly you will have a good time. Hopefully you will be done putting the final touches soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Joe. As usual, a lot of work yet to be done between now and then!
DeleteWow, that is quite a line up of games to be running! Best of luck with all the prep!
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Aaron
Thanks Aaron; a lot to get done in the next 6 weeks or so!
