>>> Okay, I guess Kryssie - can you please take care of him? I have my wife putting together small welcome baskets for both he and Aldie/his wife with some healthy snacks for the weekend. I'll bring them down tomorrow and get the baskets to them soon after noon (I'll be there around that time). If you could connect with Liz/Neil on what shows he's supposed to participate in and maybe help with a sign for his game that could go to RPG HQ, that would be great.

The good news is that he's deeply into the whole gaming improv stuff and I think Liz/Neil got to him (I hope, I hope). He's keen to run games but he has no idea what he's going to be doing this weekend. Kryssie said she'd look after him (bless her) but I'm hopeful RPG HQ can at least put up some signs for his games and maybe get people interested in playing them.

I didn't have the energy to push any harder in the last quarter when I had a big job change and a number of other things going on. In the future, I think departments should really source their own guests so we don't get into this. I asked before we booked Nystul if he'd work and after many rounds of silence, Aldrich approved inviting him so the lack of response is how we got here in the first place.

PLEASE confirm  that. I don't have a person taking care of Guests this time (Stephanie isn't  doing that anymore) and someone else stepped in to take over Scott  Alden.
