if YOU want to put on a game, get the info in asap. We're not gonna pack everyone in like lemmings, and the hotel has less room in total for us than last time. So space is limited. And the hotel only has 6 foot tables, so if you MUST have 8 footers, you gotta give us advance notice.

FOOD!

The hotel restauarant is open after 5pm Friday & Saturday. And has a full bar.

There is a Taco Bell in the hotel parking lot. and two fancy gas stations (BP & Phillips 66) within a block, one of which has a Subway inside. There's also a Denny's a couple blocks north over the bridge across the highway.

If you drive, you can find any kind of food within about 5 miles. We heartily recommend Dixon's Chili Parlor and/or the Hi-Boy Drive-In, just north on Blue Ridge Cut-Off (the street the hotel is on).

WARS OF OZZ!

At the eastern reaches of Ozz is the land of the Winkies. Ruled by the Empress Evora the Yellow Witch, the Winkies are sworn foes of the Great Alliance of the West, the Wizard, and the Munchkins in particular. The armies of the Winkies often fight shoulder-to-shoulder with those of the Gillikins as part of the Witches’ Alliance.

The Winkies, being a brutish and simple people, favor the power of bloody melee over the more complicated maneuvers of musketry the Munchkinns favor. Now with thier Quadling and clockwork allies, the Munchkins fight to free Ozz from the Yellow Witch!

Horse and musket with magic and mad science!
