@darrenbob and i did the all-inclusive booze package last time, and value/cost it basically came down to two things:
pro: it is awesome to not have to sign the little slip of paper every goddamned time you wanted a drink.con: you can’t buy a round on the package, and doing so off-package was overly cumbersome.i’ll happily take it over. where is it registered? when will it expire? you can contact me at djpiebob@gmail.com.
a few shorter sessions appeals to me — more people could play this way.
also i recommend providing pregens. i only played 5e in the beta, and decided i liked 4e better, so haven’t gone back. not sure how much changed…sounds like a lot 🙂thank you @paulandstorm. as always, a thorough and reasoned response. i feel were’re really lucky to have event organizers who truly listen, and i feel heard. much appreciated.
@vililicious: i completely agree and shared your experience of people talking loudly and nonstop during performances in Studio B this year (and not last year). i really wanted to sit at the tables at the top because the chairs there have no arms and dear god my hips, but it was utterly impossible to hear. some of the time, the people talking loudly belonged to the entourages of some of the entertainers, which is extra-disappointing.
another bit of feedback regarding sound: during the (KICKASS OMG DON’T EVER STOP THIS) drunken celebrity Artemis, the music was turned up very loudly, so it was pretty difficult to hear the crew’s voices.i have to say that i am with @chicazul re: amateur performances. i’m kind of a perfectionist and the lack of preparedness makes me uncomfortably anxious on their behalf, but these events aren’t about me, and i think it’s fantastic that seamonkeys get their nerve up to go on stage and have a great time doing it. if the events don’t appeal to you because they’re not polished enough, there’s so much else going on that it shouldn’t be difficult to find another thing to do during that time (or sleep/recharge introversion batteries).@arenson9: i didn’t see much in the way of line management at the Alhambra theater at all, and was specifically told there wasn’t any by at least one helper monkey. i stood in line for the shows several times only to have a large number of people just mill about near the front entrance outside the line and then merge into the line as it went in.
additionally, before the Jim Boggia/Thrilling Adventure Hour show, one line was formed leading left down the stairs as you faced the doors. many people stood in that line for a long time, then suddenly there was another line formed going in the other direction allowing people who’d arrived much later to get a better spot relative to getting into the theater than some who’d joined the existing line.it didn’t matter much to me personally—i prefer to sit in the balcony because it’s far less crowded, and there’s always been plenty of room up there—but if we’re going to have more monkeys in future years, it will make a difference.i just noticed this thread isn’t in the joco cruise category of the forums, perhaps it shold be moved? i have no idea how one does that…
