General RPG DiscussionDiscussion of all RPGs and non-system-specific topics. DM/GM/player issues, settings, etc. Rules discussion belongs in one the forums below.
Hey Silver Moon, Sidewinder is one of those systems I've only run but never played, so that looks great to me.
Sounds good, here's the blurb:
“The Magnificent Seven Outlaws” - Sidewinder Recoiled
Members of the New Douglas Gang had managed to escape from prison and headed south to Mexico, robbing a Tucson, Arizona gambling hall along the way. They’ve now been living a comfortable life in a Mexican village for the last four months. The village is now threatened by a group of Banditos. The villagers have appealed to their American friends to help protect them.
Knowledge of Sidewinder Recoiled is not necessary (the game system is an expansion of D20 Modern). Prior games of this ongoing 'Gameday' campaign can be found at the ENWorld Story Hour titled “Seven Outlaws in Search of a Bank”. "Seven Outlaws in Search of a Bank" Sidewinder Recoiled - Game 5

First, a big THANKS! to Piratecat for graciously offering up his house and his time to us. I know I [and many others] eagerly look forward to these events.
So, as usual, count me (and likely my friend Bruce) in; we will be happy to bring breakfast-type foods, assuming we use the usual scenario.
I'm certainly intrigued in Silvermoons "Batman Gone Bad" M&M, or any of the "Dread' games floating around, but I'll wait until some offical announcements are made to claim a spot in games. (I'm also oddly intrigued by the SW "Ewoks Gone Wild" game....)
Look forward to seeing everyone, and thanks again to Piratecat for organizing!!

Okay, so now we have two possibilites, and it looks like we have enough GM's lined up so that I'll only be running one slot.
Here's the blurb for the M&M game:
"When Bats turn Bad” - Mutants and Masterminds
Once the mighty protector of Gotham City, the attitude of the hero known as Batman has changed. He has imprisoned the entire G.C.P.D. and declared martial law over the city, naming himself Overlord. His former followers now patrol the streets, helping to fulfilling the Overlord’s every whim. A call has gone out to the Justice League of American to free the city from the clutches of their wayward teammate.
Possible Playing Characters:
Aquaman, Black Canary, Black Lightning, Blue Devil, Booster Gold, Doctor Fate, Flash, Green Arrow, Green Lantern (Hal Jordan), Green Lantern (Kyle Rayner), Hawkman, Hawkwoman, Icemaiden, PlasticMan, Ray, Steel (John Henry Irons), Superman, Vixen, Wonder Woman, Zatanna
So it'll be either Sidewinder Recoiled or Mutants & Masterminds!

Thanks for the update, SilverMoon; sounds awesome! (Though I don't envy you statting these guys out .)
We'll see how many people are in for M&M and how many for Sidewinder. The excellent thing is, there's always a plethora of games to choose from, whichever way it turns out!
Do you wonder what Kobolds like to do each day?
Wanna try a new, fun and exciting game system?
Do you like to play a game where you don't have to think a lot to have fun?
Not good at math, but can add up to 13?
Do you like to make lots of noise?
Maybe Bark like a dog?
Then play in my Kobold's ate my Baby game.
King Torg (All Hail King Torg!!!) wants baby, you are tasked with getting the baby... It can't be that hard, can it?
I promise you you won't be disapointed.
Also King Torg (All Hail King Torg!!) commands it.
***Please note that this game has the ability to offend Grandma's senses. As such.... I am calling this game "Grandma Unfriendly".

This or the Sidewinder is a definite case of win/win! Would Booster Gold have Skeets with him? That could be another PC right there...

First off, Silvermoon, either of those sounds awesome, although I personally would favor the Superhero one more.
Secondly, here is my game:
OPERATION: NO SECRETS
In the year 2047 six superpowers scramble after the Earth's rapidly diminishing resources. When well-protected scientists from all sides start turning up dead or missing, it becomes apparent that someone's up to no good. Can the UN International Strike Force uncover the spider at the center of this web before it's too late? Join us in an explosive world-spanning True20 adventure that's one part Cyberpunk, one part James Bond. and two parts GI Joe.
The Characters: Dragon – Crossbow wielding seductress and super-spy
Racetrack – She's addicted to adrenaline and wired for speed
Feedback – Computer savant with a horde of drones at his command
Hotshot – He's a two fisted master of gun-fu
Asp – Silent killer and expert swordwoman
Brickhouse – He's the big, bad, heavy weapons expert. Got a problem with that?!?
Only just barely--I'll be heading west to Oregon later that week to start a new two-year gig that will keep me heading back to the Ice! (I wonder if Portland Game Days are anywhere near as much fun as Boston's). Which is to say, good timing!
Blurbs for the games I'm trying to decide betwen running. I'm most likely to go with Star Wars, but I'd love to try out Dread from a GMing perspective.
Star Wars: Ewoks Unleashed (Star Wars: Saga Edition) It is a dark time for Bright Tree Village. Though the village's Sunstone was retrieved from the evil Imperial scientist Raygar, the Empire has since established a presence on Endor. As the Imperial Scouts and their bases get closer and closer, it seems that it might be up to Wicket, Princess Kneesaa, Teebo and their friends to save the village from these seemingly invincible foes.
Infinite Calvinball Crisis (Monsters and Other Childish Things) Calvin's latest creation, The Dimensional Combobulator, has gone haywire and there are Calvins everywhere. There is no time to waste blaming each other for this mess (like that'd stop them). Watch out as the Villainess Mom-Lady, Weirdos From Another Planet, and many more invade Calvin's house and hometown.
The Mines of Asteroid XT321 (Dread) Alright CaNaRieS, listen up! We've lost contact with the mining colony on X321. It's probably just a broken relay, but since you lazy gits haven't accounted for all off the escape pods from TK-427 yet, we're not taking any chances. Get in, assess the situation, neutralize any threat, rescue anyone that needs it, and call for extraction. Should be a milk run.
Tally at least one of us to be there. Since I went last year, I hope to convince Player2 to go this year - if not both of us!
If it winds up being me, and if we need another game, I'll run something I've always wanted to, but never have - and would be perfect for a game in this house: Baron Munchausen.

Oh, fantastic! This is shaping up to be really fun.
I remember the first one of these; we had fewer people. I think we managed a four-person game of Paranoia.

Wow, I was just looking for an excuse to go up to the Boston area. How close are you to Watertown? Will you be expecting the Grandma rule to apply (I want to bring my 13 year old son who has been playing D&D since age 9)
