As I get ready to retire the 24-hour game forum for another year (this was our forth!), I just wanted to make sure everyone in the community knew that this year’s game was the most successful 24-hour event yet. Our donation total was $1,100 to Adsum House!

As always, Adsum House was very appreciative of the donation. Ellen Helmke, Director of Development said, “The Gelatinous Dudes have done it again! They have been outstanding supporters of Adsum for Women & Children for many years. Their efforts help to reduce the effects of poverty and homelessness in Halifax. Thanks guys!”

I didn’t play in this year’s game but it looked as fun as ever. We like to try a different RPG every year. This year’s game was the brain child of orcdoubleax. Set in our very own fair Halifax, the players found themselves in a zombie-apocalypse locked in a desperate battle between the gods of classic heavy metal. Hopefully we can get some pictures of the game room and set up sometime.

It sounds like the horror-theme will be continued next year as the gamers play a crack commando squad of werewolves infiltrating WWII Germany.

So, a big thanks to the players who put in the grueling hours and for the community for your support. Let us also take the opportunity again to remember Ron Zinck who left us way too early. The 2010 game was held in Ron’s memory.

The 24-hr game starts tomorrow! Are U ready for the Zombie attack!? Here’s wishing good rolls to the 24-hr game players. Oh yeah and custom hoodies are here!! http://www.gelatinousdudes.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=5359 These hoodies provide +2 AC vs. undead*.

*Okay, well not really but they still look pretty cool.

Just a reminder that the fine HalCon folks are holding a board game Funfest on June 19. $5 gets you all-day fun with access to over 50 games to play. We’re really hoping to see lots of Gelatinous Dudes there! HalCon is co-hosting this event with Let it Roll for the benefit of Feed NS.
