Subject: [GZG-ECC] to the attendees of GZG-ECC II
Greetings, guys, I just wanted to relay on to those people who were at GZG-ECC II the thanks of my brother and his friend who attended. They are *gamers*, and they like to *game*, and mostly play WH40K because, well, that's what everyone around them wants to play. My brother had played a couple of FT games with me in as many years, and he borrowed my SGII rules for a couple months in preparation for this convention. When I spoke to him last night he basically said that he and his friend Mark had high praise for the people at the con. When they first came they were leary that y'all might be fanatical extreme-end hardcore people who would have no patience or time to teach those who were not well-versed with the rules in order to bring them up to speed. AND that you were all *fun*. To the point that no matter what happened in any particular scenario/game, every one they played in was *fun* because the players involved MADE them fun. Everyone who was there deserves some sort of recognition for being Fun People(tm) to game with. They were pleasantly surprised to find that you all were more than willing to teach any rules they did not know, and that you all were both mature gamers, and overall FUN people because you like to GAME, whatever the system. They also expressed some surprise that the group of people at GZG-ECC II were not the long-greasy-haired types who haven't bathed in a month, but rather y'all were 'normal people' (heh!!). They full intend on coming back next year (and are now in the process of putting together a rather impressive array of Narn and Centauri ships to bring with them - Jim Bell can vouch for this, I'm sure:) Mk
