The Candlekeep Seminar for Virtual Gen Con this year is up as an event. No details yet but I'm sure that more will be forthcoming soon.

I was planning on ignoring the virtual GenCon, but this has changed my mind.
This is The Nine that broke up over a hat, right? |

Someone used the 9 words of power: "That clearly does not make any gosh darned sense." Everyone was stunned for one round and then a general apathy effect kicked in and they all just wondered off. |

No, mention is made instead of the repetition of nine in various places. similar to the use of 13 in other places.
George - Thank you for the heads up about this event as well, I was not aware of the virtual aspect and have now wishlisted a few different seminars.

...And I'm in. As I noted previously, I wasn't going to pay any attention to this virtual GenCon, but this gives me a reason to join in.
I had my cursor on the Submit button and rode the clock down, and was number 100 to get in line -- so of course I got in for the Seminar, the one event on my list.
I guess I'll be seeing y'all online in a couple weeks.  |

| I have never been to one either but I got a ticket to this event. My only ask is that Wooly sit towards the back. A giant hamster would certain block a bunch of people's view of the panel. |

| I just signed up. Really looking forward to this. I do have to say, though, with so many prestigious scribes present, I'm sure someone will be able to cast Reduce Animal on a single Giant Hamster, should Wooly sit near the front. |

Looks at Delwa, then slyly "points" with his eyes at the giant glassteel hamster ball in the corner.  |

"Ghostform, you'll have the best seat in the house. Don't dispel the reverse gravity cast on the block of Cheeeese inside the ball until everyone's getting bored. It should be quite a show, especially when the prism effect of the glassteel turns the stage so many colors that even Leira might vomit." |

Thanks but here's your cloak back. Ghostform gives me a terrible rash. Just something about the Ethereal Plane, I guess. I got a cube of force around here somewhere. If not, I know where I can get my hands on a wand of force. Those should work to put something between me and that hamster-powered sphere of death |

Your welcome. That gives me an idea for a new gnome spell: Baravar's Curse. It causes the target to either get a rash or the hiccups whenever they are in a stressful situation. Melee attacks, AC, and physical non-weapon proficiency skill checks gets a 4 point penalty for the rash. Casting a spell with a vocal component is almost impossible, no thief can sneak up on anything unless it is deaf, and mental non-weapon proficiency checks get a 4 point penalty for the hiccups.
Edit: Fixed the proficiency part. |

"hamster-powered sphere of death" is one of the funniest phrases I've heard in a while! |
