First of all, it was an amazing game and I couldn't have pulled it off without the help of all of you.
Bill and William - I couldn't have done this without you guys. Not only were they co-writers on this game, both of them went above and beyond what needed to be done to make this happen.
GMs - A big huzzah to all 3 of my GMs. Amy, Brandon and Freya. You guys helped me manage what otherwise could have been a very crazy evening. In addition Brandon and Freya were the sanctioners on this crazy game. :)
My SO Team - Thanks goes out to my SO team of Doug, Michael E and Brad. You guys made sure that the site was safe. Also thank you to Doug and Brad for showing up early and staying late to clean up and special thanks to Mike E for BBQing all that yummy food for us.
I'd like to thank April Clendenin for doing the every important job of being our kick ass treasure and registry rep for the game. Instead of having fun and participating, she took care of checking all of us in and out.
I'd like to recognize a few key NPCs that I thought played their parts above and beyond how they were written. Thank you to Deborah Aelwyn (Avendariann Priestess), Will Jordan (Avendariann General), Dan Frazier (Lost Ambassador), Peter Sartuci (Eudorus).
A general thanks to all the NPCs for the energy they put into the non-stop fighting. Lord knows I'm still a bit sore from it all. :)
Thank you to everyone who helped setup and cleanup the entire site especially Derek, Jeff Loats, Will Jordan and Billy Dodge who went above and beyond with setting up and tearing down. They were some of the last people out of there.
My wonderful fiancée Joelle who not only played the barmaid, she assisted Bill in making sure the NPCs were where they needed to be during the siege and that they were hydrated the entire evening. Also, a giant thank you for allowing me to produce this game.
Last but not least, thank you to William's parents (Bruce and Lynnette) for allowing us the use of their clubhouse.
I'm sure I missed some people and if so, I am so very sorry. You all were so instrumental in pulling off this game.
Thanks!
Mike
