Well if that's the case, you can use your machete to turn yourself from bearded to somewhat cute.

Buzz - And on behalf of the Fenril Knight, please put his new game in the private room that has become available due to FC's dropping out. Thanks.

Hey Buzz,

I'm interested in running a Savage Worlds game in the afternoon, although I could easily slide to the morning if the afternoon is full. For now, let's go with this:

The Eye of Kilquato!, Savage Worlds

New York, 1939: Asked to venture to South America to look for the fabled Eye of Kilquato, Buck Savage, Virginia Dare, Danny Dare, Doc Gold and Kator the Ape Boy set out for adventure. At least there shouldn’t be any Nazi’s in Brazil…

The Eye of Kilquato is a Pulp adventure using the Savage Worlds’ rules. Five pre-generated characters provided.

No, no - PM please. I really want to sit in on this, since I've not gotten a chance to play SW since I bought it... (dibs on Kator!)

I second that. (Except for the dibs part). You don't need to be cute to be Savage!

Jealous!

You'll see how Savage I can get if Buzz gets anywhere near me with the camera this time.

Plenty of room in the morning. We could stand to do with two more events; currently 37 seats in the afternoon, 24 in the morning. (No, nobody needs to switch their event. Just making note.)

I think that answers the whole machete question.

Just to keep you up to date, I dropped my event down from six seats to five. I think some splitting up of the party is going to be unavoidable, and I want to try to keep everyone "in the spotlight" as much as possible...easier to do with only five spotlights to worry about instead of six. Also, we've got seven slots in the pm and only five in the am, so I figure losing a seat shouldn't have too much of a negative impact on things, yeh?

Disaster!

Nah, I'm just kidding.

No, it really is a disaster! Augh!

No, really, I'm kidding.

Etc.

Okay, it's been five days since anyone posted an event, so I guess event submission is winding down. I'll let the thread go until the end of the week and email a reminder to the list.

Is there anyone running an event in the afternoon that might be willing to run in the morning? That'd even out the day a little bit, assuming we have all the events we're going to get. I'd volunteer but, a) I really want to play in either Tim or Nev's events, and 2) then there'd be no 4e in the afternoon.

I'll mention needing a morning event when I email the list, so there's time to think about it.

Looks like things have slowed down enough to consider a second event. May I please add a morning event on the second miniatures table? I would like it to be a Medieval/Fantasy d20/D&D rules-based miniatures (not DDM) game entitled "Storming the Castle!" All will be provided and rules explained. Players will take on the roles of the leaders either defending or attacking a castle with a portion of the available troops determined by the number of sign ups. 4 to 6 seats available, families (parent/offspring) teams encouraged.

Well, as always, I can add a seat or two come GameDay if it's really needed or a walk-in has a burning desire to play a Supernatural game or something, but this particular scenario will probably run smoother with fewer party members.

So, it's only a potential disaster.

Added! Woo!

So, now we've got 28-30 seats in the morning, and 36 in the afternoon. One more event in the morning and we'll be pretty even. It's not a big problem if we don't get another event, as people often show up just for the afternoon. Still, it'd be ideal.
