We have a CD player we can bring over, so there's one, at least. It sounds interesting enough to give a shot to, at least.

My laptop could suffice, but the audio is a little flat.

Edit - PS2 can play audio CDs as well, so that would cover another.

Andrew and I have Arkham Horror and can get the 2 card-only expansions and one of the board expansions (the older one; though we can get the brand new one, too, if there's interest). It's a 1-8 player RP board game set in H.P. Lovecraft's mythos. You choose an investigator and explore Arkham while trying to defeat the monsters that appear and close the gates to the other dimension before the Elder God awakens (or else you face him!). A game runs 2-3 hours on average, but I've never had more fun playing a game that was actively out to destroy the people playing it. >_>

Andrew has several decks of Munchkin we can bring as long as we  can get in contact with the friend who's currently holding on to them. The decks (I think - we haven't seen them in a while): the first three regular ones, the sci-fi one, the Cthulu one, and Blender.

And we also have a Wii (+ 2 Wiimotes w/ nunchuks and 2 Gamecube controllers, and Brawl and Melee) that we can bring.

Other things we can offer if there's interest:

1. PS3 w/ Rock Band (1 guitar, drum set, mic)
2. King's Blood (silly little card game that's oddly fun to play)
3. Guillotine (another silly little card game)
4. Bang (a wild-west card game)

(Keep in mind the more stuff we bring, the more help we're going to need getting it from Berkeley to where it's going. We were planning on BART.)

ETA: Now that I think of it, chances are pretty high that we're going to rent a car. *shrug*

Arkham Horror is pretty awesome. I'd be up for a round or two with whatever add-ons you care to bring.

Berkeley's just a hop skip & jump over the bay if you guys would rather just get picked up.  It's like all of, what, a half hour if traffic's bad?  I'd be glad to grab you guys if you wanted.

Also, we do have the Order of the Stick game for those who like the webcomic.  MUCH fun.

We'll be 'donating' our P3 (one that is backwards compatible) and Wii to the party house during the con as well so we can kind of spread out the games a bit.  We'll be bringing MarioKart and whatever else Gate thinks people would want to see.

Well, it occurs to me that we only have 1 PS3 controller, so what we can do on that is limited. We'll need PS2s to get any multiplayer going.

Firstly, for the fourth audio device my laptop can serve.

Secondly, Guilliotine is good fun. >_>

I'll be sure we grab all our card games and Arkham Horror + its expansions. They're not too hard to bring, after all!

If someone wants the hardware (PS3 (it is also backwards compatible) + Rock Band + Wii), let me know; as it is, it looks like that front might be covered. That said, I know we'll for sure be bringing our peripherals just in case (that is, the Wiimotes + nunchuks, the PS3 controllers we have, the Gamecube controllers, and whatever additional copies of games y'all need).

QR: I know Berkeley's close, but I also know if we were planning on staying at our apartment instead of at the house or with you guys, that would require twice daily trips. Andrew and I have been discussing what exactly to do about this, ranging from throwing it for the house anyway to renting a car to sleeping on the street at night. XD We're kinda poor lately, so we're juggling convenience/fun with finances. As it is, we don't mind taking the BART and finding a way to get to the house; it'd only be problematic if we were bringing big, expensive electronic things.

Update: I just remembered I have a kitchen sink I can bring too. Not sure if I should though, since other people might be bringing one.

Oh, bringing bunch of DS and PSP games.  This includes Pokemon stuff, both Mega Man Starforces (complete with a busted DS that means I can't play them! ...;_; ), FFTLW, etc.

...yeah, lots of portable games basically <.<

Ok...

First up, loaned games:

DDS1/DDS2/LoL2 - Ciato
MMXCM - NEB
G3 - Sage
Disgaea 2/ACF - Shale
P3 - Xeroma

If you have games of mine, and you're done with them and coming to DL Con, please bring them.  Please contact me if you have any major questions.

Second, what to bring...

I will be bringing Bang!...wait, someone else has?!  Awesome.  I have the special bullet edition, so if you want, I'll bring that one so we can use Santa Claus.  I also can bring Munchkin (I have only the original, but i intend to pick up the other ones in the main series sometime soon).  Probably won't bring Risk or anything unless people really want to play them.  I will be bringing my laptop, external hard drive, and other equipment with me.  I'll probably drag along a couple games to demo to people as well on that (Barkley, Supcom, etc.).  Anyone have any RPGs or the like you want me to bring? 

Third...

I can bring extra controllers for the PS3 (at least 2, possibly a 3rd), as well as stuff for the XBox 360 and Wii too (...and PS3 obviously). 

There's probably something else I'll remember as time goes on.

Lovecraft cardgame?  Awesome. 

Still only had a couple of bites for requests for stuff for me to bring to share.  NWN2 and expansion have been requested and some Ministry for music.  That is it.  I should probably try and be on IRC during a peak hour sometime I guess.  I might look into getting a full set of Icewind Dale stuff on the hard drive actually.  It could use a bit more DL interest from the few that could stomach the BG RTwP bastardised ruleset.

Yes. And between me and Tai, we're big enough to dunk anyone who needs it.

I thought I'd asked for PS:T and Arcanum, but it's entirely likely I spaced and only think I did. Anyway, consider this a request for those, if you will.

Do you have 2 disc or 3 disc version of Torment?  If you have 2 disc then you do it for sure.  Less discs to burn.

2 Discs.  I sent it to several people in the past, so I'll just bring some CDs to the Con, or burn them early.  Depends on how much I want to smuggle through airport security.

Ok, due to previous discussion (not the cavity searches >_>)...

ANYONE WHO WANTS COPIES OF COMPUTER GAMES (HEROES III, X-COM, BG2, PS:T, etc.) OR ANY MUSIC (MUSICALS, VIDEO GAMES, etc.), PLEASE NOTE IT HERE, WHAT YOU WANT.

I'll have my laptop, but this will help set it up for me so I can more easily burn CDs early etc.
