OggDude 3,394 Posted February 2, 2015 Just curious if we have any San Francisco Bay Area people here who are planning on going to DunDraCon 2015 in San Ramon this President's Day weekend (two weeks from now). Last time I checked, I think there were seven SWRPG games being run, which is a record. Last year, there was only the SW Megagame, and it was the first time they had run it using the FFG rules. Anyway, I'll be there all four days. I haven't signed up to run any official games, but I have I have a number of adventures prepared just in case I generate some interest. If anyone's going, let me know. Maybe we can have a game together Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tassedar 155 Posted February 2, 2015 If it falls on a good weekend I'll probably be there for a day or two since I live a hour away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OggDude 3,394 Posted February 2, 2015 It's President's Day weekend, Feb 13-16, at the San Ramon Marriott. You'll have to make nice with the wife, though, since Valentine's Day falls on Saturday If I'm not in one of the SW games, I'll probably have a table set up in one of the open gaming areas. I'll either be running a SW game, or I may have a board game set up, like Talisman, Firefly, or Battlestar Galactica. Huh, three out of four of them are FFG games. Go figure...

player546410 1,125 Posted February 2, 2015 Being one of the GMs for the MegaGame, I will most certainly be there! (This will actually be our 3rd FFG year) Several of the rest of the listed Star Wars FFG games are from other members of my gaming group. (The Z Team) See you there!

OggDude 3,394 Posted February 2, 2015 Cool! I was at Brendon's table last year. Hopefully, several members of my group will be in the game this year as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miishelle 376 Posted February 2, 2015 I wish I could come and meet you all. it would be fun to game and hang. stupid living in Wyoming Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OggDude 3,394 Posted February 2, 2015 A quick search revealed that the closest con to you is CONduit in Salt Lake City, which is going to be in May. It's close to a 7 hour drive from Casper, though, and about 6 1/2 hours from Cheyenne. If you've never been to one, give it a shot A weekend full of games and geeks is a lot of fun. 1 miishelle reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OggDude 3,394 Posted February 3, 2015 Well... NOW I might be going. LOL. I've lived here for 20 years and have never been. Cons are a blast. I've been going to them since high school. How far away are you from San Ramon? DunDraCon's been at the Marriott for... over 20 years. Back in the 80's, it was at the Oakland Hyatt (and yes, I remember that far back). Come on by my table and join a game There's always room for one more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DigitalChicanery 310 Posted February 3, 2015 I'm in San Jose - Not far at all. I went to GenCon for years until it moved out of Milwaukee (that's how I got into the bit of freelancing I did in the 90's). I'll check with the Spousal-Unit and see if she wouldn't mind me skipping town for a couple of days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DigitalChicanery 310 Posted February 3, 2015 Come on by my table and join a game There's always room for one more. Hey Oggy, let's say I was going to reg up for the con - What event should I be looking for? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
player546410 1,125 Posted February 3, 2015 Star Wars Mega Game! (Saturday 5 pm, Session 3, Game 319) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OggDude 3,394 Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) Yeah, the MegaGame is awesome. Last year, it was 4 tables, with each group working independently, but simultaneously, on the adventure. In some cases, there was even interaction between the tables. Lots of fun. Also, do an event search for RPG games with the search text "star wars". The game is really starting to come into its own and there's a good number of con-run SW games going on. Edit: I should probably mention that there's lots of different games and game systems being run, so if you don't want to get burned out on SW, there's plenty of options to choose from. I'm probably going to run some board games as well. Gotta get my con Talisman fix Edited February 3, 2015 by OggDude Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zathras23 936 Posted February 3, 2015 I should be there on Saturday (live in North San Jose) but, depending if the Saturday SWRPG is happening, I might have to leave about 6pm or so to make it on time. Sunday is out because of an X-Wing tourney at Game Kastle in Fremont that day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DigitalChicanery 310 Posted February 3, 2015 So... My wife just pointed out that 2/14 also goes by another name... ...Why would they schedule a con on Valentine's Day??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
player546410 1,125 Posted February 3, 2015 It's scheduled for a convenient 3 day weekend. (President's Day). Valentine's day is just a semi-regular unfortunate coincidence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geeknamese 20 Posted February 10, 2015 So... My wife just pointed out that 2/14 also goes by another name... ...Why would they schedule a con on Valentine's Day??? They think nerds and geeks like us don't have wives and girlfriends lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geeknamese 20 Posted February 10, 2015 I'll be heading to Dundracon now that I found out about this Megagame. It'll be my first con ever so let's see how it goes. If I can't get into the scheduled game, I'll come a-hunting for an open game. 1 miishelle reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just look for the Star Wars signs Saturday, I'll have a table until a bit before 5 (hopefully). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
