Open House 2009 thoughts

Spinachcat · Unread post by **Spinachcat** » Mon Jan 07, 2008 8:24 pm

I just bought my ticket. I am a happy goober.

POH 2007 was a blast. I am looking forward to POH 2009. I much prefer 3 full days of gaming - Fri thru Sun - with Thursday as VIP Night. In fact, "VIP Day" would be even cooler.

I would have no problem with $100 for a 4 day Palladium con. More gaming the better. The last POH went way too fast. It was more fun than GenCon.

As with 2007, I will definitely be running a few events, probably Rifts, Chaos Earth, Mechanoids or Splicers. As we get closer, I will chat with the other MAs and see what I will run.

As for the hotel, I suggest that we get everyone into one close-by place at a great price like last time. What's a few bedbugs between friends? Having official game rooms at the Ramada was terrific and I hope that happens again.

I'd go for an extra day. That'd be keen.

Hmmm, what to run next time?

The Galactus Kid · Tue Jan 08, 2008 2:34 am

I love being there as much as possible.

well i know me and heather would Love the extra day up there, we are already setting money aside for the event. we'll be able to buy alot more in 2009 than we have been the last 2 OHs, and with the extra day of gaming... just can't go wrong with that

now i'm off to write up the second part of what i ran last year :twisted:

Braden Campbell · Thu Jan 10, 2008 9:13 pm

I'll be running a Wormwood and a Phase World space pirate game, come OH 09.

YARRR!

Eryk Stormbright · Fri Jan 11, 2008 2:04 am

yeah i think we'd have to pass if it was held there too..*g* but as it stands i'm just happy they are keeping the OH going at all, and since they aren't having one this year, 09 Should be the best one yet.

This is my feeling as well. Last year Kevin had a Freelancer "gathering" on Thursday evening, a VIP night on Friday, and then the weekend. I was exhausted, but sad that it was all over already. Moving VIP night to Thursday night, then having all day events for three days is cool with me. I just have to make sure to somehow keep Allen from talking me into eating so much White Castle (that stuff's not fit for consumption, unless you were raised on it or something).

Yeah, there was this moment on Friday, I was sitting in your brother's chair chatting it up with you, when I thought "there's still two more days of this?"

About five minutes later, it was Sunday and I was saying goodbye to everyone.

Okay, just to make sure I'm clear on this. Where I'm a guest, it means I don't need to pay to get in right?

No, that just means that you pay me at the door... in cash... and none of that funny Canadian Monopoly Money. :demon:

Seriously though, I'm pretty sure doing the podcasts for free probably earns you admission to the Open House.

As far as I know, neither I nor any of the Freelancers paid admission last year. I think you're probably good.

You're money isn't worth a whole heck of a lot more than ours anymore

That's not the point... I'd have to exchange it somewhere, and I'm lazy.

Ah, but you can't be both lazy and a Freelancer at the same time... unless your first name is Josh... or Jason... or Mark. :lol:

Getting in free was a nice perk though last year. I heard horror stories about the line. :-(

Now that I've already bought tickets...

As far as I know, no, Rifter contributors still pay admission.

I hope they set up their midway in a very awkward spot.

The Galactus Kid · Tue Mar 18, 2008 4:46 pm

In 2009 I'll be there the entire time. I'll try to get Taylor White there and other members of our gaming group, and might even bring a pretty lady friend with me if she can stand all that nerdiness.

Just don't hurt your head running into me, I'd hate for you to end up with another Open House injury. :lol:

Anyway, I'll hopefully be around myself, you have but to come and find me.

The Galactus Kid · Thu Mar 20, 2008 11:02 am

I hate the fact that this is over a year away. Hopefully, I'll have a new product in print for this one.

That's El Magico's specialty. Are you sure about your request?

sticks and stones may break my bones but whips and chains excite me
