ECC VIII Preregistration is underway.
We have a number of Ground Zero Games miniatures that we will be used for door
prizes at the convention. This year we'll have 15mm, 25mm, 6mm and starship
figures for your selection.
The order in which I obtain your preregistration information on December 1st
will determine the order you choose your figure from the selection. If I
receive your preregistration prior to December 1st, I will flip the time from
12:01 AM
Dec. 1st. Thus a November 30th, 9:00 PM e-mail will be
treated as a 3:00 AM Dec. 1st e-mail.
For pregistration, please send to davisje (at) nycap.rr.com, the following

Please let me know your size if you want one.
Payment of the $25 preregistration fee may be made by check or Paypal. As in
previous years, volunteers and gamemasters will receive a $5 rebate at the
conclusion of the convention. Due to the banking fees associated with
international checks, Canadian attendees are encouraged to use Paypal or pay

While searching for Tomb's soul is a big draw card this is the one that is
really digging home the fact I will miss another ECC, made all the more ironic
by the fact this time I'll only be 400 miles rather than half a world away!!
On day I may be able to pass this time of year without going green with envy
at you guys;)
Berth, Its only 400 miles. That is doable for aweekend. Take a flight.

G'day,
While I appreciate the encouragement I'm pretty sure I just can't do it.
1) I will be in Columbus Ohio (which according to mapquest is about 400 miles
drive... assuming I drove mapquest right...) 2) I rather foolishly never got
round to getting my licence (I can drive from growing up on a farm, but a
licence just kinda slipped through the cracks) 3) I looked into flying and it
will cost me roughly $450 US for a one way airfare and Derek and I don't have
that kind of spare cash right
now. If anyone knows how to track down a cheaper one let me know - I
don't need a return flight (unless that's a condition for a super cheap fare)
as I'll be flying home to Australia afterwards and work has covered that. If
on the other hand there is someone in the local area heading in the right
direction I could help on fuel etc;)

We don't have anyone signed up for the convention from Columbus, OH right now.
Brian Bell is from Columbus, but he hasn't attended ECC for a few years.
Mike Miserendino attended last year and drove out from Indianapolis.
The other Ohio folks are coming from the Cleveland area.
Greetings all,
I've been lurking here for some time now, not really having had much input
since NW Ohio is a gaming wasteland - except for GW :P . But I've been
debating whether of not to attend ECC this year (missed last year). If you
would like to go, Beth, that tips the scale in favor of going this year.
It's not really out of the way to go through Columbus instead of taking the
turnpike. If you want to go, I'd be happy to pick you up.

Seconded, with enthusiasm! Although I suppose it would then become prudent for
me to make some tiny little changes, insignificant really, not worth
mentioning in fact, to certain plans about pirate sheeps and volcano gods.
If you manage to fly into Pittsburgh and catch a bus to near my work (one
bus, I promise!) mid-day Friday, I can drive you to Lancaster. I'm
heading out mid afternoon so that I'll be there in time to run my Friday night
game. :)

Squads? I think you might want an updated briefing. It was a Narn
Assault Bat-talion and a Narn orbital artillery Bat-tery, when last I
heard. Check with Tom and Adrian, they were the ones who were planning to
arrange Assault and Battery.
Beth,
I am sure we can figure something out. For getting back you have to fly from
JFK? Kurt or Los or I could take you there.
As for getting in, if there are folks coming from Cleveland that is not
undoable from Columbus.

Oh dude! You've so gotta come... and that's coming from someone who has to put
the real value of this thing in perspective.... I normally got to cons that
are like many times (hundreds going on thousands) the size of
this con. And I'm like 6-8 hours away! (Hey Chris)... I went last year,
and I had a blast... it was fun spending the first time just walking around,
watching people play... and getting a glimpse of the friendships this list
harbors... I even met a few people from the list and talked to them...
something that was way cool... why, it was going to ECC 7 that got me to
actually join the list... and while I haven't been vocal since then... the
feed back I get from the occasional post is great....
And yeah, I'm sorry for not having posted the Space Whales... I still haven't
had time to write them down... however, I have expanded the ideas just a
little to include "Etherwhales, Voidsharks, Solardolphins,
Star-Eels, and ... yeah, bad joke... Gamma Rays".

Heck, we can even get you from Dulles to Lancaster. Or Baltimore to Lancaster
(if either of those offer better fares).

Columbus to Dulles $69. Does that work?

Or direct you to one of the lower priced multitudes of hotels in the area if
you prefer.
Oh, and I will vouch for the airline -- they are cheap in pricing but
they are very good in service.

Los/Magic/Nick/someone can get me to an airport on the way out (my PA is
still sorting out which of JFK/Dulles is best for getting to LA and
Australia so I'll let you know tomorrow on that front). It looks like this is
a goer. This is very cool... After feigning initial indifference I sprung

And I imagine some of the "full" events (eg FMA Sheep, heaven knows why) might
have room for any Tasmanians who want to play (or, in the case of FMA Sheep,
just have a morbid fascination to see what happens).

Right, because Allan o' Southfens, his caber, and his paisley bagpipes were

if anything Beth-related had happened there, which it didn't, it would

This is something I can't figure out. Why does Beth need to get to JFK? I
would have thought that the most direct route to Columbus would have been
Australia to LA, then from LA to one of the big central hubs: Houston, Dallas,
or even Chicago O'Hare.
I'm not sure why JFK should even enter into it, unless she's planning a
different outbound leg than inbound (as it would be faster to fly from JFK to
LAX than to drive back to Columbus and follow the reverse of the route she
took to get to Columbus).

My itinerary will have had me bouncing all over the US for 3 weeks already so
I really don't want to have to follow that route back out again;)
LA Boston Providence Key Largo Miami Columbus
JFK/Dulles (whatever the poor travel lady can manage to figure out works
best) LA or San Francisco Hawaii (if San Francisco exit)
And this is ignoring all the little and interesting airports I get to
sprint through to make connections mid-leg ;)
You can technically get a "direct flight to Australia from NY" twice a

It's highly unlikely I'll get to an ECC. The winter is just not a good time of
year to drive all the way from Louisiana.
As to a couple of other things:
There may be a way to turn off the winmail.dat transfer, though if you only
got that attachment because you used the web interface not using that might be
your best option. Ironically, you only sent that one attachment. There are
still folks on the list (glares at Glenn *grin*) who send HTML along with
their messages. Those can be a real pain to read when using the GZG digest.
Flying out of JFK now makes sense! I didn't realize you were hopping all
over the country. That's going to be a fun trip for the travel agent to sort
out! At one point I was hoping you'd end up around our neck of the woods, but
the major airports around here are all still about 5 hours away by car.
