Well, THAT's an interesting advertising method for a GZG-ECC event! :)

One of these decades I'm going to have the time & cash to travel across the
continent for ECC...

Effendi, I am not advertising, merely asking a question so I can properly
prepare for the event. If I were advertising, I would mention the fact that
TomB's soul is likely to be packed in a snowball (Canadian, don't you know)
and this snowball is located in darkest Africa, AD 1889. I'd describe the warm
welcome you can expect from the friendly Maasai spearmen, charming Zanzibari
slavers, and quaint Azinde musketeers. I'd point out in East Africa at this
time, one sheep was worth a 50lb ivory tusk or twelve slaves. I'd probably
gloss over the fact that these are the dreaded African Killer Sheep
(fortunately, since they're African, they're not migratory). The Ghost Society
hunting parties and the Zombiezi pirates might slip my memory. And I'd
certainly never, never, never whisper a word about the Bit Of Grass On A Base.

I do have some excellent camels available, though, effendi! Clean, decent,
well behaved, and only slightly used. For you, effendi, because you are such a
good friend and you come such a long way, I will take the food from my
children's mouths and offer such a wonderful camel, one time only, for the
absurdly low 57,450 dirhams.

Sorry, it's just that this reminds me very much of an FRP campaign run by Cary
Lenahan about 20 years ago...

By the way, if anyone else (other than Adrian, who already sold it) has
suggestions as to what to do with TomB's soul, feel free to chime in. I've
already got "reincarnate him as a sheep" and "incribe the data on a
microsheep." And "have him appear as a Scottish lich", but we couldn't bind
him to remain one....it's just like his luck to lack a loch lich lock.

Speed dial...

Send it attn AEB this time -- see, I wouldn't have done that if I'd
hadn't read the latest Spider Robinson book, and Spider wouldn't have written
it if, last time he'd met Alan, he'd gotten Brain damage.

Memo to self: Coca Cola[1] in the sinuses *hurts*. You're a bastard,

Meaning that in the *nicest* possible way, of course.

Yes, I can see that it would. Next time, perhaps you should first
take it out of the can.... ;-)

Thanks!

No, just make sure I'm not drinking it when I open one of your evil messages!

Anytime. But sorry, I'm not interested in a camel at this time. Or undead
Scots.

Look, we hadn't even gotten warmed up in an impromptu punslinging when we both
simultaneously noted the last person in what had been a crowded room sprinting
for the exit. I didn't quite hear what they were mumbling, it may have been
"Make it stop... For God's sake make it stop...".

I know that's a good story, but unlike most, it happens to be literally true.

We stopped immediately, and frankly, were a little ashamed. Most of the Fen
present appreciated a good Pun, or at least, had developed a tolerance due to
constant exposure. Naturally, when some in the crowd screamed and ran in the
first ten seconds, well, there's always some who can't take the Punishment
when a Pun is meant, and we took that as a sign that the Pungency was about
right.

But to clear a room of even inveterate punsters within a minute or two, that
showed we'd over-indulged, things had gotten beyond the Gorgonzola and
Lutevisk

Stick it in a bottle and pass it around at ECC. Nothing livens up a
game like a bottle of canadian spirits.  :-)

Sorry, couldn't resist. Ok, I'll climb back under my rock now......

You know, a GM doesn't need to think about ways to screw the characters,
because they're always so eager to find inventive ways to screw themselves. I
mean, I never expected anyone to voluntarily buy and read the Necronomicon
(true, I already had SpongeBob Squidlips ready, but I expected to have to work
a little more to bring him on stage).

Mike...are you *sure* you want to drink from a bottle that has TomB's soul in
it? Okay, yeah, you're "The Mad Hudak", you probably are sure.

The crazed laughter is starting already. And Jon hasn't even participated in
FMA Sheep (other than as voice talent for Fair Maiden Amelia Sheep).

Heh, sure I'm sure..... kindred spirits and all.... or we're both insane.
Something like that....

If you want another idea, have him finally demonstrate the GZG wormhole and
have him rend space and time to bring in reinforcements.... or at least a few
packages of tripe.

Or..... have a bunch of teams (or even the goal of just one...) try to bring a
body to a certain area to reincarnate TomBs soul into. Now of course just what
someone thinks is an appropriate body for TomB to
inhabit..........

But I'll bring a bottle just in case.  :-)

On a side note, is the flesh and blood version of TomB going to make it to
ECC? Haven't heard from him in a while.

Non-participation in FMA Sheep doesn't mean you didn't participate, so
you can't wriggle out of it that easily. You were at another table, but on
request gave a reprise of "Unhand me, you *brute*!" when Roger
Livingston-East attempted to capture Fair Maiden Amelia Sheep.  This was
the trigger for the surrounding sheep to form an angry flock, chase Roger
across half the table, knock him over and jump up and down on him, causing
fatal embarassment.

TomB was a non-particpant last year too but got a visit from the Narn
Baa Squad anyway, courtesy of Jon Tuffley, and of course Adrian sold TomB's
soul too. TomB has vowed to be entirely off the continent next ECC, in the
unreasonable hope that will be a safe distance.

Nope, just wanted to recount Roger getting de-based and flocked. ;-)
