Steve,

If you're going to be at the Game-a-thon, I'd love to play a game of Revolution. It's been a while.

You could GM and play in it, there's no expectation for you to sit out as GM. Just a thought.

Let me know though, because I'll probably run something and don't want it to conflict with RtDR if you run it.

Hi Bill--just doublechecking that you got my event submissions I sent you via e-mail to your Verizon account.

I will run Fire and Axe for 5 players in the 1st session.

Okay, I expect to be able to actually make the Thon and will run an event. Haven't decided which game yet, but I'll post the details as soon as I can.
