chad delp convention schedule

first up is the exclusive ScanCon

the select few received a package in the mail

back to the future

there are codes/puzzles  etc we had to solve(all contained sort of) with in that box we recieved from Doc Brown in the mail(it was not from western Union)

it looks like we are up to 17/18 people now for this one. it all started in 2003..when there were 4 of us.  we add a few every year and have a blast

i may do a post after the con on the history of it..FYI if you didnt get it, the theme this year is back to the future (last year it was masters of the universe)

yes that is me in a skeletor costume

after that it will be WYC or as I call it pre truedungeoncon…this is were i can trade/sell a bunch of tokens and do 2 runs of the game. this is a free gaming convention

WYC

then it is the grand dad of gaming

GenCon

or as i call it True dungeon with a splash of dealer hall and maybe one other game

true dungeon

i have a VIG badge so i use the early access to dealer hall to get the limited edition stuff so i can sell it on ebay and make some $$$$$

the finally it it game hole con in novemeber

gameholecon

where some of the old school DMs come to play

chad delp says token time is here

well folks it is that time of year when we tokenolics get our first taste of tokens from True dungeon

true dungeon website

there are some of us who are really addicted(clears throat)

we buy more than we would ever need…ever

I save what I think will be the “good ones” and they go up in value for trading etc

the main thing i want each year is a golden ticket

these are randomly inserted in packs.

yes just like these golden tickets

Golden ticket

i pulled a few of them. there are only 40 total. so i have that going for me…which is nice

i have been wheeling and dealing for a few days now. my head is spinning…i have not messed up yet

so if you are heading to GenCon in july check out True Dungeon.

chad delp says “remember to say thank you”

so last week

I decided to keep track of how many Thank Yous I received for holding the door open

it was bad.

I was able to hold the door for 36 people in a 2 day span

i got 4 thank yous

and 2 smiles(those could have been thank yous, i wasn’t sure if these two women spoke English). I am counting them. smiles are fine

yes it was 4 old women that said thank you

i guess it is time to start reminding people in a less subtle way

I will start saying in a sarcastic/mean voice…”oh you are welcome ”

then if that doesn’t work..follow them around and hold the door closed..

you couldn’t say thank you ..so fuck you. this door is close. sometime nice guys turn bad…they can only take so much

hell, 80s video games even had thank yous

does it really hurt to say thank you

so you people that have little ones, teach them this and remember it yourself

buddies website

it is mostly about gaming…but there are some other things

please check it out

Play on Playas

cooking with chad delp

so today i had a  hodgepodge of veggies and noodles..so I decided to make a different pasta salad

first i cooked the pasta..i mixed two different kinds..because it is a fun cooking day

because I dont waste time. while pasta was cooking i took the red peppers, orange and green peppers and chopped them up

then chopped up onions as well(there is no crying in my kitchen..unless you get a paper cut)

got out some other items I would need as well

I then used my Olive oil and sauteed the chopped veggies

after all the cooking. i let everything cool down before mixing

I added chopped tomatoes, cheese cubes, olives, Garlic powder, Italian seasoning, more olive oil red vinaigrette and some Parmesan cheese..mixed it all together and put it in the fridge for a few hours before testing

well I can safely say it is good..i like it. i plan on eating it

sometimes you just have to go with the flow cooking and have fun with it…it will be consumed during the big game tomorrow. if my gaming group shows up they can try it.

best thing of 2014 for chad delp

really…you dont have any idea what that could be

come on

it was freaking awesome

i am now debating the playoff game. waiting to hear on tickets

still make me smile anytime I see a leap…especially this one

elevator fun

Welcome back Peeps

yes I have peeps..some are made of Marshmallow

anywho

this post is all about messing with people in elevators

you have the classic from ghost

fun

things you can say (one liners )

1.push your floor and say

“we are taking this shit to a whole new Level”

2.as you are leaving a crowded elevator, turn and point to someone random and say “i am leaving you in charge and I want a full report”

3. on a crowded elevator..say ” i suppose you are all wondering why I have gathered you here today”

4 as people are trying to get on..block the elevator and ask “do you have an appointment”

5 ask everyone getting on if they purchased a ticket. if not direct them to leave

6 start sniffing and then smell someone random and say “oh God, it is you…gross”

or my favorite

contest

no this isnt the Seinfeld contest

the contest

but a different contest

My friend Cory visited Vegas this last weekend and made a bet for me

that the cubs would win the world series this coming year (2015)

it seems the odds are good for cubs winning 8:1

which means a bad payout if they win

now i am not a cubs fan..nor will i ever be

i have decided that anyone that can figure out why i would make such a bet has a chance to share in my good fortune(if somehow the cubs win it)

so FB message me, Google message me, email me (chaddelp@yahoo.com) or find a way to get your reason to me (other than posting in the comments) you wouldn’t want others to get a chance because you screwed up

but i also request that you post a reply to the blog saying you sent me a message with a guess(so I can look for it)

i will run it for 2 weeks…then once that is up, I will take all the names that guessed(correctly), put in a hat and draw one winner (possible)

then if cubs win, i will give you 10% of what I win

shopping for me

So I am horrible to Xmas shop for.

so if you want to get me something the link is here

Xmas Gifts

So hopefully I dont get in too much trouble for that

I am the worst person to shop for. I dont need anything or want anything.

So if the people out there in internets land can get The Boss( Springsteen) to give me a call or drop by, that would be a cool gift

or Get me Clay Mathews and I to walk out on Lambeau Field before a game to get the crowd pumped up to this song

Real American

of course we do poses. really, if anyone wants to get me a gift(i dont need it) make it be from the heart..or do something for charity (donation, spend time helping at a food bank etc)

I did ask Santa for the luck to pick better Fantasy Football teams next year..in one league I managed to get into the playoffs…with no good QB..so I think it will make an early exit

things are picking up on the blog. I may be running a little contest soon (a friend is going to vegas to make a bet for me)

pork chop sandwiches

i have to say the first DAY OF THE CHAD was a great one. each year  should get better and more popular as the Chads of the world find out

 

now it is coming to Fantasy football play offs…looks like my gambles did not pay off yet again. so i will not be getting any money..again. next year it is auto pick. Chad Delp my win then

at least my packers are doing well (so far). Moving Clay Mathews all over seems to have really helped. We will see sunday Vs New England

I have no gamer conventions until April (WHOSYERCON)

http://whosyergamers.org/

that will be the weekend before I open up the pool..so i will be rooting for April to arrive as soon as football is over

last week ish

i was in South Carolina.  I had a bet with my good friend jen that our friend Brian would see her first(photo bombing me)

she chose Heather seeing it first

well you can decide who won the bet

for the record, i let her chose first…so that is all her fault

it is best not to bet against me

now you know and knowing is half the battle

pork chop sandwiches

my fav starts at 2:31
