TOPIC: True Grind Thursday 3 PM available.

I just noticed that 1 ticket is available for the 3 PM True Grind on Thursday on the Gencon website.

In case anyone was looking.

Not now.

No I didn't get it.

So, who got it? Henwy has 7 of that run, I have 2.

I was contacted by a new player (Bill) who has the 10th ticket for Thursday 3 PM.

He has not played Grind or True Dungeon before, but will be playing TD for the first time the morning before the Grind.

I have recommended that he attend TD101 if he has the chance.

The new player actually followed directions and e-mailed me (something that Henwy failed to do!). kurtreznor gets a pass since he wasn't technically the one who bought the tickets.

We were supposed to email you? Obviously I didn't read the emails either. Just saw auto generated response and archived them.
Eric i sent a note with email regarding potential ticket.

It is part of the "auto-generated message" that GenCon sends out if you have purchased a Grind ticket:

There is a similar message for TD runs (though no e-mail is required)

It is not a big deal, since the vast majority of people never read the e-mail and follow the instructions. Looking through my archives, it looks like only 7 people last year e-mailed, and this year we are at 5 (including your e-mail Matt).

Since it only goes to the person who bought the tickets from GenCon, if you get your tickets through a third party you won't directly receive the notice.

I remember last year emailing you all nervous for my first grind. Hindsight being 20/20 I had full right to be nervous whenever I know you're the DM.
