We just found a substantial leak that will likely require them to excavate our driveway and/or garage and the expense of that, in addition to the expenses we're accruing building a new home, means that we just can't afford to take a trip right now (plus, we can't just leave our house with no water for 5+ days). The events in question are: Event 262: The Wailing Sore Event 415: Fairy, Faerie, Quite Contrary Sorry.
That sucks hard. I hate to see a fellow gamer go down like that. We'll see you next year. On a positive note, you already have 2 events prepped for next year, so you can run even more at Gary Con XI!
I don't know man, I had to cancel the last THREE conventions I submitted The Wailing Sore (D&D 5E version) for. In a row. I think the Universe is telling me something.
