Necronomicon 2011!

What a great time we all had at Necro in St. Petersburg Florida! The gaming room was full from the moment the doors opened at 9 am to when they closed in the weeee hours of the morning! Sadly, I was unable to spend much time in there and due to family emergencies, our Game Master and my assistant were unable to attend the con. But, on the few walk throughs I was able to do, the room was packed and I saw many different games being played. It was refreshing to see something other than Pathfinder & LFR being played.

The OGRE sign-up sheet brought 22 new members into our gaming family – Welcome to the Ogres! – and we actually ran out of business cards (started around 200)!

All of the new members and Ogres who attended the con will be receiving the unique Ogre Necro 2011 badge for their wikia profile. So if you were at Necro, look for your special badge on your profile soon. If you don’t have a wikia profile yet, why not make one to show your bragging rights and let your fellow Ogres know more about you?

A special thanks to the following Ogres:
Ann Morris – For organizing another great Necro Con – Happy 30th Necro!
Dean & Heather Dryer – Our Necro Gaming Ogres – For organizing the 100+ games at the Con. Great job guys!
Richard Lee Byers – Our resident celebrity – for the awesome panels on writing and for just being a great guy!
Eloy Lasanta – One of our game designers – Thanks for letting me bail on Wu-Xing so I didn’t fall asleep at the table! I promise to be awake to play the whole game next time!
Min Nemoy – Our SHAG Ogre – For spreading the word that there is now gaming in the Spring Hill area!
Frank Fray – Our Suncoast Skirmishers Ogre – For running games at the Con.
John Gunter – Our meet-up Ogre – For wearing an Ogre shirt to spread the word, running games at the Con & keeping me company on Sunday!

Our next Ogre meeting will be held Nov. 12th at the Jimmie B. Keel library in North Tampa. I hope many of you will attend as we will be discussing alternative meeting locations (so everyone doesn’t have to come to N. Tampa all the time!) and an Ogre sponsored gaming date in Jan. Come out and give us your feedback! You can RSVP through our Facebook group but it is not required! Hope to see you all there!
