SpectreCON - Pacific NW Old school mini Con

[scalydemon]

Saturday November 7th 2015, from 2pm - whenever

I am hosting an old school D&D party and you are invited if you live in the Pacific NW (or are inclined to travel). Seattle, Tacoma, Portland OR, Vancouver BC, Spokane WA etc all are invited.
This would be at my house in Maple Valley WA (20 miles SE of Seattle). I have rooms etc to crash in if anyone comes from out of town and wants to stay (large house).

Previously I have had a couple D&D summer BBQ parties where a version of this happened (at the last one we had about 14 people and had 2 DMs running the sewer section of A1 simultaneously), but I am hoping to get up to 20 attendees for this.

What there will be:
1/4 bbl of micro beer (I have a tap & kegerator fridge)
Multiple DMs running 1e or earlier, or related simulacra games.
A grill available. Free hot dogs and cheap soda

The cost is free unless you want to chip in for beer.

This party invitation / organization will be done via evite so if potentially interested you can express interest here, and make sure to PM me your email address to add to the evite.

-Thanks and hope to see you there

Scalydemon this sounds awesome, but I'm looking for work, so everything is up in the air at the moment. But who knows what the future holds? It sounds like fun though. By the way I live down in Olympia, and wargame with lots of guys from the Tacoma area.

Cool Idea, I hope it comes together and goes well. Give us a post recap if it does. Wish I lived a little closer I'd try to make it.

Cool, didn't realize you were local (sort of). PM me your email address so I can add to the evite I send in a couple weeks if interested, and good luck with the job search.

And thanks Mgtremaine. The response so far has been strong, and adding to the local pool of players we have had in the past I am optimistic to get 20 people and have 3 games going at once. My wife and kid will be out of town in Disney world so it is D&D keg party time at the casa, ha ha

Interesting. I might be able to attend this. I live in West Seattle.

Will send you a PM.

Just a heads up that I sent out the evite for this. If someone stumbles across this who is local that wants to get added , you can still PM me your email address and I can still add you in....thanks

Just a quick *bump on this as it is coming up Saturday Nov 7th.

Now have 13 of 20 slots full. If you live semi-local or want to drive in for it just PM me your email address and I will add you to the evite.
On the evite games being run are under discussion.

Thanks

The party was fun. Will be doing SpectreCON II next year in November if others can make it.
