Gah! Only in NC... Surely the Charlotte Airpot has enough history of flight in it. There are huge displays about the topic. That's one thing I didn't like about NC - a beautiful state, but everywhere you went they keep yelling out "Man first flew here!" Even their bloody number plates. There are so many more things to be proud of about NC, why choose such a small event that happened a century ago?

Anyway, have fun guys! Look forward to seeing the photos.

I agree. I think we should all smoke a carton of cigarettes to commemorate the true spirit of NC.

3.5 will be the rules system. I'll pre-generate PCs and allow a choice for those whom play... hope we can get at least 3 or 4 to play!

Had a really great time hanging out with you folks!

Nice to put some faces behind the PCs :)

Wish we had a little more time... only about 26 hours in town but we made the most of it. Pretty funny taking a bunch of computer dorks out into the 'wilds' of the botanical gardens... AMAZING!!!!

A very Special Thanks to everyone who came down!

AcadiusLost
Danielmn
Loulabelle
Maxcell
Mick
Panzeh

Looking forward to next year!

PS: Charlotte confused the heck out of me! Apparently everything has 3 names and 2 addressess... epic fail in choosing a hotel, which while quite nice, was 6 miles away! No whiskey for Riotnrrd :(

Awesomesauce all the way around. I enjoyed meeting each one of you, as I knew I would. Very unique personalities, but everyone with a very laid back attitude. Sorry about the pizza Maxcell....I believe I will be putting that place on my not to go to list...

I very much appreciate everyone coming into Charlotte, as that would have probably been the only place I could have gone to see you. I look forward to future ventures with the lot of you! Now I DEMAND PICTURZ!!!!!!! HARHARHAR!

Agreed. Had a great time meeting everyone and hanging out! :D

Special thanks to Riot for putting the PnP game together last night. My first game in 14 years or so. Really enjoyed it!

Ok all, Here are some photos.

First of all let me just say, that I was very glad you all came. It was a pleasure meeting everyone. I wish so much I had been able to stay awake for the pnp game saturday night, but alas....I am teh old.

And a special thank you to Acadiuslost and Loulabelle, who put up with the dorf and the beardless wife as their guests. You guys are great people, say hi to Seth and Kyle

Ok I played around with a couple shots just to be goofy but I have all these and more intact for anyone who wants them. I didnt want to post Riots nudity or when Panzeh and Danielmn got arrested for short sheeting the hotel beds in every room. I will happily burn a cd for anyone who wants and mail it to you just send me pm.

oh and our fantastic group shot in the gardens?.....ruined by a noob who had the camera on movie instead of still :?

first couple of shots of the drive to NC from VA
