Preparing for Gen Con

Unread post by JimmyB »

Only a few weeks left now.
Is everyone ready?

I have been preparing too run four Chaos Earth games.
Today I finished off a 500 pack of printer paper that
I purchased to cover the extra materials I would need.

Then I realized...... That's a lot of paper for only 4, six player games.
Maybe Kevin can turn it into a book, hehe

Just out of curiosity do you have any pregen characters you can post?

I love making Rifts characters in my spare time and like to see other pregens to add to my collection.

Maybe you should. Or it could get some of that info into a coming book or Rifter.

I have thought about checking to see what I need to do, as far as formatting.
I certainly have enough info. I have typed up over 2000 pages between Chaos Earth
and Robotech

Agreed. If you can't make GenCon, you should really try to make the Open House this year.
