ENboards Boston get-together...?

Does anyone else feel like it's almost time for another Boston-area ENboards game? I certainly do.

I'm raring to get some more Feng Shui going. The last two games were big fun.

I'd be totally up for this. Of course, I'd also be up for Paranoia, Call of Cthulhu, Marvel Superheroes, D&D, Adventure!, or any number of other game systems. How does Saturday February 16th, at 4 pm, sound to folks? And what kind of game do we want to play?

I have a kickass Marvel Superheroes adventure prepared, with Boston-based superheroes. Alternatively, Dr Midnight, did you want to run or play Feng Shui?

I was looking to run Feng Shui, play it as a secondary option.

Your Marvel Superheroes thing sounds fun too. Any way, as long as there's some supa-action-packed goodness in store.

Should make this a poll.

Heck, I'll do that, no problem. Mind playing here? It's convenient for Bostoners, at least.

Wow... Boston'd be a bit of a haul for me (but better than the windy city). Do people in surrounding states normally travel to these things?

Perhaps I should try to get together a DC area ENboarders thing... if I thought there were enough of us.

Dangit. This would happen after I moved back to Pittsburgh...

5 years of living just north of Boston, never knowing of PC and Sagiro's games...I could just spit.

Ooh! Ooh! Fen Shui was a hoot. And I'm always up for Marvel Superheroes. And I've always wanted to learn Paranoia. <Head Explodes>

Unfortunately, the folks are going to be in town that weekend. Don't think they'd understand if I told them I needed the evening off to beat up mooks.

I'd love to join you guys again, but I'll have to check with my SO (I'm already playing in two DnD games now, so...).

Anyway, Saturday February 16th would probably not work for me, but feel free to ignore that for now.

I won't be able to make it on the 16th as I'll be in Quebec. But I'd love to join you guys for another game if it ends up getting rescheduled.

Those were great! I mocked one up just to remind people how great they were but I might not be the best person to do it. You'll probably want Art (NeghVar) to do it properly if it's a go...

Hmm... Looking at my efforts now, they seem a little less than perfekt. Definitely get Art (NeghVar) to fix them up right for you...

Hey! I'm interested!

It seems that February 16th is fine for me. I'd be interested in just about any game.

Piratecat, you're a Marvel player? You talking about the old rules, or the newer Saga version. I loved the original, played it for years, but never got a chance to play the later rules.

I might as well put this question here, as well. I was thinking of eventually running the Godlike trial adventure, "The Glazier" at some point. I am not yet ready to set a date, but are any Bostonian Boarders interested?

I don't know anything about Godlike but could be interested anyway. Care to elaborate?

Well, I don't want to swamp this planning thread with other stuff, so I'll keep this to a minimum. Godlike is a game of super-powered people in WWII. For more information, you may look at the Godlike website:

Holy crap-onna-stick, I want to play Godlike! We could also move the date to that Sunday, if it works better for people. Nem, we'd love to have you if you could make it.

We just can't hold the game the next weekend, as that is the weekend of Total Confusion, up in Andover.

I'm a Marvel Saga guy, myself. I never played the original, but I really enjoy the Marvel Saga. It's perfect for the kind of superhero game I like to run.

Too bad everyone's got these things going on... Am I the only person with no plans? Geez, I'm pathetic.

Well, I'm down for whatever game, whenever (except the weekend of the 12th).

Sorry, Doc, but you may be the only one without plans. The 16th is about perfect for me, what with other stuff scattered about.

The weekend of the 12th? There is no weekend of the 12th this February...

Lots of games have been mentioned. Since Dr. Midnight started this, I suggest we go with the supa action-packed goodness he's suggesting. My guess is that puts Feng Shui and Marvel at the top of the list.

Given the interest, I will run Godlike sometime soon. I will suggest (but not require) that people look at the Godlike rules before playing, as the mechanic is quite a bit different than what you might be used to. The full rulebook isn't out yet, but a good playable ruleset is available as a free .pdf on their website.

A note - the game is not for the faint of heart. I haven't run the scenario yet, but by reports and my own intuition character death is a very real possibility. Godlike is a bit more gritty than most other supers games...

Another note - the trial scenario, "The Glazier", is also available on their website. If I learn that anyone planning to play reads it after this warning, I will personally ensure their character sees the business end of a tank up close and personal.
