Getting this year's thread started so we can start penciling in thoughts & plans for the gathering this year. Looking forward to seeing if SSG's newly garnered FoM buff allows for some official attendance this year.

Traditionally, the gathering has been on Friday evenings from approximately 8 PM to closing time of the tavern we decide to invade, on a come 'n go as you can basis.

Stay tuned for developments.

Thank you! \o/
We've been trying to go for years but never had the money.
We still don't have the money, LOL, but I found it it was #50 and we all decided we were going to MAKE IT WORK.
Because if we're only ever going to get to go once, at least the one we made it to was the big 5-0!

The date this year might actually be good for me...

Darn looks I will miss you guys yet again this year. Just purchased badges for Saturday and Sunday. I work M-F and cannot attend Friday because I work until 5 sometimes 6pm EST. But I only live 65 Miles North of Indianapolis so if I have the energy after work Friday I may drive down and have a few Not Your Fathers Rootbeer with you guys.

So is someone actually submitting DDO events or are people just attending?

The past many years, our Gathering is not an official "event" or anything through Gen Con. Is just an informal get-together to swap tales over drinks & bar munchies.

The ancient scribes tell tales of the olden days when the Powers That Be were the original organizers of the Gatherings, and attended in official capacity with much swag and sharing of secret gossips. Alas, in the years thereafter came the great and terrible Vast and Mysterious™ whereupon the Powers were forbidden to officially support the great gatherings. Not to be denied, a valiant few rallied forth and did take on the quest to save the great gatherings, and all things were good. ...for a time. Then came the year where the sacred gathering grounds known as Jillian's were thrown down into ruin. There was much anguish and gnashing of teeth upon hearing the fell news. Still yet not to be denied, the ragged group of survivors again sallied forth to acquire new territory. In most recent years, the territory known as Sevrin Bar has welcomed the few surviving rag-tag refugees with open arms.

More recent divinations have yet to reveal what the future holds. Only one thing is known for sure - the Gathering shall NOT be denied!
