Hmm, anybody for a Twilight 2000 game? I could run an RPG session if anyone is down?

Sorry I can't make it this year.

I've never attended Guns of August. Yes, PEL please.

Can you provide more information on the Charity raffle or what exactly is a hospitality suite?

HMS Exeter28 Jul 2016 3:31 p.m. PST

There is a tab on the website with particulars re the raffle. In a nutshell, they have 15-25 items you can buy chances for. Each lot is numbered. You buy chances and put your ticket in the container which has the same lot number as the item you are interested in. The items run the gamut, but are usually pretty valuable. est. $80 USD plus most of the time. Saturday night they have a drawing. If they call your number…

The Hospitality Suite is a snack/soda courtesy room. They have candy, sodas, and munchies. You go in and help yourself, but nominal $ donations are encouraged.

Hi Folks – The PEL has been posted. More games have been coming in daily, so we expect to see some more!

For those who are interested, our charity proceeds go, as donations, to the Veteran's Administration Spinal Cord Injury Recovery Unit, at the VA Hospital in Hampton Virginia. This helps the patients in the unit, with things they would like to have, but that the official VA funding cannot cover (like recreational materials, to make their quality of life better).

Nice PEL.

43 miniatures games, plus tournaments for FoW and SAGA.

Enjoy the games.

The following link is an "Attaboy" from the guys at WWPD, whose members have supported both the Muster and Guns since their inception. What they say about the Muster can be said the same about Guns.

Thanks Eric, Dirty Jon, Steve, Luke, et al…. for all your assistance and participation.

Excellent! Just remember the hotel change.

Does anyone have a point of contact for this event? I have a Registration question and the website has no PoC.

Event list is filling out nicely. Looks like it's going to be good.

vagamer63 Supporting Member of TMP14 Aug 2016 7:23 p.m. PST

wakenny,

There is a point of contact listed at the bottom of the web site where is says, "If you have any questions contact the webmaster." Chuck, will be glad to answer your question, or direct you to the person who can help you out!

What's your question regarding Registration?

Paul
Convention Director

wakenney15 Aug 2016 3:49 p.m. PST

Trying to confirm my registration. I've paid, but the website shutdown after I approved the Paypal payment. Nothing ever asked me for registration information.

vagamer63 Supporting Member of TMP15 Aug 2016 4:31 p.m. PST

Yes, your payment for Registration was received, so your name is already on the Paid List when you check in!

cturnitsa15 Aug 2016 7:10 p.m. PST

Just over a week away! Looks like it is going to be a really good show, with a lot of nice games!
