But has there been any plans towards a Gathering this year? I definitely wouldn't be able to attend, but it's kinda sad to think that no one else even bothered to bring it up.

I just think that actually walking around IRL with prop-equipments would be really funny.
Agent!Sergio, as he was originally my Gary Stu self-insert, was supposed to look like me and dresses similarly - black trousers with big pockets and red jackets or hoodies are one of my favourite outfits. I may have no fashion sense at all. I'm fine with that.
So, yeah, I basically end up almost cosplaying him on a regular basis just by being, well, myself. Funnily enough, it is during his time at the PPC that he diverged the most - I always imagine him with a simple, thin black jacket of a type I don't actually own.
Feat. flowy but fairly sturdy summer skirt and very sparkly nail polish that took longer than expected to do. I think there was a random scarf used as a sash in there too, for fun and eclecticness.

I... really should have referenced them for Dawn's pic in Doriathrin Night's Dream, huh. Oops.

At the 2008 York Gathering, Pads wore a collar with the DBS flashpatch on, which is appropriate for Agent Paddlebrains. At the same Gathering, Cassie wore a DMS flashpatch on her sleeve; you can see both of these in the final group photo.
But there was no prop equipment involved; and similarly, in the video I did once where I played Dafydd, all I did was throw a cloak on. As far as I know there's never been a full cosplay, but I would be delighted to be wrong.

At the moment Phobos and I are too broke to consider traveling ourselves, though. I suspect that's a common refrain in the US, what with inflation right now.
(Though, that said, people traveling is the foundation of my business as a pet-sitter, so some people are doing it...)

And hey, maybe this time my car won't get the catalytic converter stolen now that I've got an anti-theft plate installed, haha.
It'd be dependant on how my health is doing—I've been dealing with stuff that's left me bedbound at my worst—but if I'm feeling up to driving I'm always down to visit. (And if anyone needs a carpool, I've got three extra seats.)
Yeah, just give us a heads-up for planning and we'd love to see you whenever. I'd also love an excuse to break out CAHQ again. ^_^ (The whole lot, sleeved, fill up a 10.75" x 9.50" x 3" box, if anyone wants to know!)

We should definitely play another (online) game again soon!

I've actually been thinking about this lately. I'll have to remind myself how it works now, but I DO remember confirming that it works. I can see about starting a thread for an interest check, new card suggestions, and old card updates or removals in the near future. Hey, maybe it will provide some inspiration for the Badfic Game! {= D

The decks are there and playable on CLRTD, but I can't edit them if I can't log in to my account. {= / I've sent an email about it, but I have no idea how well supported this is, so... fingers crossed.
ETA: Looks like I can log in on Firefox, but not Chrome for some reason. So I'll just proceed with Firefox. New thread coming soon! {= )

I'm so bad about checking the Board nowadays but I'm always happy to indulge in some irreverent NSFW fun.
We are all old and tired now. :D I'm actually not sure how many UK PPCers we have left these days... we haven't had a UK Gathering since 2018 (the last "Gathering" on the Wiki was me and Iximaz hanging out on Animal Crossing, which DEFINITELY COUNTS ACTUALLY).

...I'm already popping over to the UK twice more this year for Various Shenanigans, and I'd better not push my luck work-wise for more. XD Next year I'd be down, though, if anyone else is.
