I am actually arriving tonight. Is anyone else coming in who might be
up for a quick game or would like to try my new boardgame, Redneck Life?

I see that Dan Jenkins is the DM for slot 1. What is this DM prepared
to run at our APL, which looks about a 6?

Any idea when the TBA's are going to be filled in with real blurbs and
mod titles?  It's hard to really determine what you want to play until

Try two things...one, it seems silly but make sure you are on the current WitY warhorn (sometimes people have last years bookmarked and go to it without thinking about it), and also make sure you have a fresh version of the page (hit refresh or reload) as sometimes your browser can "cache" the page and not reload it when it's changes as it's supposed to.

Hope this helps until Rick gets on to check the page on his end.

There are still plenty of slots available for Hub Con XV.  We will have
Yeomanry and Sheldomar Valley mods as well as some Core mods.  It is a
short drive from almost anywhere in the Yeomanry, hence the name "Hub"
City.  So make plans and come on down.

Read more carefully. That is precisely the point I was making.

In home games, those that enjoy long games can do so. In a convention, we need to keep an eye on the clock. These are different gaming experiences entirely and should be treated as such. My examples were to show you that it is possible for the same person to be capable of running both styles of games, depending on what the situation calls for. :-)

You may need to work on keeping yourself on track. It can be one that goes out of control on time if you allow it. The adventure itself tells you how much time to allow in each act. If you follow the guidelines, you will have no trouble and your players will have plenty of time in each segment of the adventure. It helps me to keep a clock sitting where I can see it while I run, to help keep on target without making the players feel I am rushing them. However, if you don't think you can handle this one, please let us know and perhaps there is a DM of another adventure you could swap with or perhaps one of the triads could run it instead.

I have run this adventure several times myself and talked to many terrific DMs who have run it also. They have had no trouble running the adventure in 4.5 hours or less and have given their tables the full experience and everyone has had a great time.

In home games, sure you can take all day if you want to. I often enjoy the luxury of a long game full of extra roleplay myself when playing with people I enjoy spending time with. In conventions however, that is not a luxury we have. Most players attending conventions know this and expect it. It is simply not right to expect the poor players who happened to get seated with you to get up 2 hours early or stay 2 hours late because you can't finish the adventure in the time alloted. They signed up to play games in certain time frames and we are going to honor that expectation. What if a player who doesn't like to stay up late got mustered to your table? What if someone who doesn't like mornings did? I hope you see what I am trying to say about the fairness of doing something like this at a convention. Even though someone might not speak up at the time, they could leave our convention with a bad experience because they felt pressured to go along with the rest of the table so they don't look like a jerk.

Our goal is to present a fair and fun convention for everyone who attends. We'll continue to take steps to ensure that goal is met for all of you.

You may need to work on keeping yourself on track. It can be one that goes out of control on time if you allow it. The adventure itself tells you how much time to allow in each act. If you follow the guidelines, you will have no trouble and your players will have plenty of time in each segment of the adventure. It helps me to keep a clock sitting where I can see it while I run, to help keep on target without making the players feel I am rushing them. However, if you don't think you can handle this one, please let us know and perhaps there is a DM of another adventure you could swap with or perhaps one of the triads could run it instead.

I have run this adventure several times myself and talked to many terrific DMs who have run it also. They have had no trouble running the adventure in 4.5 hours or less and have given their tables the full experience and everyone has had a great time.

In home games, sure you can take all day if you want to. I often enjoy the luxury of a long game full of extra roleplay myself when playing with people I enjoy spending time with. In conventions however, that is not a luxury we have. Most players attending conventions know this and expect it. It is simply not right to expect the poor players who happened to get seated with you to get up 2 hours early or stay 2 hours late because you can't finish the adventure in the time alloted. They signed up to play games in certain time frames and we are going to honor that expectation. What if a player who doesn't like to stay up late got mustered to your table? What if someone who doesn't like mornings did? I hope you see what I am trying to say about the fairness of doing something like this at a convention. Even though someone might not speak up at the time, they could leave our convention with a bad experience because they felt pressured to go along with the rest of the table so they don't look like a jerk.

Our goal is to present a fair and fun convention for everyone who attends. We'll continue to take steps to ensure that goal is met for all of you.

Okay, the judge's apl information have all been sent out.

If you are judging the interactive, you will receive all info you need for that at the convention, so no apl information was given to you in the email. We'd like to keep our little secrets a while longer. :-)

If anyone doesn't receive their email in the next little while, please let me know and I'll resend it.
