GenCon 2009 Game Scheduling ForumGoing to GenCon? Here's the place to look for EN World pickup games, meet-ups, logistics, and the like. Please see the 'instructions' thread inside for how to format your game announcement.
It depends on when parties are happening, but right now I'm looking at games Wed and Thur at 6pm-10pm, and maybe one on Saturday afternoon. Not sure yet.
Paranoia's a no-brainer: I have the characters done and i've run it four times already to get the bugs out.
CoC, Feng Shui, Paranoia - any of those would be awesome. I'm particularly interested in Trail of Cthulhu from a system standpoint.

I just plugged for Gumshoe over on CM. So I'll second that!

So this is a game, or games, your looking to do unofficially?
Paranoia or M&M.

May you find as much pleasure in so doing as the rest of us do.
Well my main vote is for Thur 6-10 so I can play! It'd be great to meet you in person. Games... aw I'm easy, so I'm open for anything, though I voted for Paranoia, DnD, CoC.
You should run them all -- all at once. Each PC is from an entirely separate game.
I have no idea how that could work, but the idea of you having a dragonborn paladin, a mutant mastermind, some hapless traveler stalked by some weird Grudge-style ghost, a bookish professor (bonus points if he supports socialist ideology) whose uncle was into something squamous, an aged kung-fu master, a commie-and-mutant-hunting commie mutant Troubleshooter, Mace Hunter -- two-fisted archaeologist, and some goateed Sorceror Dog from a Vineyard just trying to live his Life with Master all teaming up to take on the Crocodile God is vastly amusing.

I am running a playtest of Robin Laws' new game Skulduggery, "The Roleplaying Game Of Verbal Fireworks & Sudden Reversals." It a reworking of the hilarious Dying Earth rules: no rules knowledge needed or expected, just be willing to think on your feet and have some player-to-player rivalry. I guarantee fun, or your money back.*
I have a problem, though: only two slots (Wednesday 4pm-8pm, and Saturday 2pm - 5:30 pm), and a ton of interested people between my friends from home, CM and ENW. Thus, I have a plan! If you volunteer to work a 2-hour slot at the ENnies booth, you get dibs on one of the spots in my game. Please be sure to tell me if you're interested anyways, but volunteering (yay!) both helps get you a spot, is fun, and helps out the ENnies.
Please post and let me know which day (Wednesday or Saturday) you prefer, and whether you can help out at the booth. I'll settle on the players next week. This is going to be fun.
Thanks.
* Playing in this game is free.

I don't know if I get into town early enough on Wed to play then, I volunteered for the ENnies booth long ago. Well, weeks ago.

Reason: spelling
Saturday works best for me as I've already got a game on Wednesday.
Linear Mode
And yet another word from our sponsors
