bumping this since it now looks like it is sold out. Also, the time has moved to 6:38pm.

Well... That run sure wound up being interesting

2 of the ticket holders didn't show up, so we wound up having 5 new players, along with Dave, myself, and a friend of mine who has played a few times.

Then our trainer joined in.

Then our room 2 DM NPC joined us.

Then our room 3 DM and NPC both joined us.

Then our room 1 DM caught up to us.

Then our room 4 DM joined us, and our coaching assistant caught up. I the AC permanently joined up with us at this point as well (he'd popped up before once or twice).

Then our room 5 NPC joined us.

I think we picked up a couple others along the way, because I'm fairly certain by then time we got to room 7 and the DM NPC greeted us, we had 17 people in our party.

Definitely an interesting adventure

I know exactly what you're talking about. I was DM for room 6 and saw everybody crowded into the waiting area and said something along the line of "Wow, this is a lot of people." Then I joined in, along with my NPC, for the last room. That was actually the second time I got to see the room 7 DM get surprised by a staff initiated and player assisted prank. Her reactions were hilarious both times but, to her credit, she managed to roll with it and didn't miss a beat.

Definitely one of the highlights of the con for me. If i recall correctly, you're right about us reaching 17 by the final room. We kept checking with the 5 new players to make sure they were ok with it, but i think they were also getting into it as they wanted pictures with everyone at the end.

And being able to watch the NPCs participate in combat and puzzle solving was priceless.

Come to think of it, this the first time an NPC joined us and didn't betray or abandon us before the end. More of this please.
