Unless they cancel my vacation at the last minute, I have next Friday off of work as of today. I am fighting a lot of unreasonable requirements from a lot of different directions at work. It is rare for them to cancel my vacation request after it has been accepted but not completely unheard of. So I give it a 90%+ probability.Chaosraven wrote:Does this mean we are doing this?LordMortis wrote:I am clean! I am a child for life and I am clean!

Unless anyone would like a large X-Wing scenario, I'll plan for two smaller 2-player skirmishes with a 45-60 minute timer.
Maybe we can get two games of Star Wars Rebellion running side-by-side to play into the theme.

Re: OctoCon XX - April 21 and 22, Chicago, IL
I was thinking I was finally going to make it back to one of these, but life throws curveballs. My oldest took a spill and broke his hip a few weeks ago. We were hoping to get his cast off this week, but they want it on for 3 more weeks (and then 2 weeks inpatient for therapy!). I've only just started going back into the office, and it would be insanely cruel for me to leave my wife with him and the twins this weekend so I could go play games.
That's my purse! I don't know you!

Believe it or not, all that (except the X-Wing minis) fits into two Game Canopy bags. If I had picked up a second large instead of a small Vanguard, I could have also packed the classic Colosseum.
