| Hm. That mystery game sounds intriguing. And the description has helped me decide what I will likely be running... which I'm tempted to also keep secret...
Hm... |

| Hey, ekb, you know there's a game specifically designed to handle exactly what you're going for, right? Classroom Deathmatch
Now, granted, the ORE is plenty lethal enough to handle the genre. But Atarishi Games makes some interesting stuff, too. Worth checking out, at least.
As for myself, I think I will probably run Lacuna. Unless I decide to run My Life With Master instead. Or maybe Zombie Cinema. | |

| Well, foo.
Buzz, it turns out After These Messages isn't being released until September. So maybe I'll be running a "StormBirds" adventure at the last GameDay of '09, but it won't be this time, unfortunately.
However -and this is amusing- I just "won" a different gaming contest, the latest Game Fu challenge on RPGnet. Sure, it's not official or anything, but my entry was well received...to the point I'm going to clean it up and publish it as a cheap PDF; I'll keep y'all informed.
SO, I'm changing my morning game, as I feared might happen (if more GMs want to run in the morning, I'm totally willing to drop this one.) It will now be "The Zharovi Gypsies: Curse of the Nightmares", for up to five players, obv. no experience necessary.
BLURBS/SUMMARIES:
AM Slot Up to Five Players
No Experience Needed
TZG:CotN
The Zharovi Gypsies: Curse of the Nightmares is swashbuckling horror-adventure game in which you play Gypsy Monster-Slayers, fighting to save the land from a curse their mad Queen wrought in her grief. Using a simple mechanic of 3d6, Players will also be able to affect their character's Fate by reading their fortunes. The character creation system is unique, but pre-gens will also be provided. The commoners have never trusted the Gypsies and now blame them for the monsters that stalk the land, but the Zharovi are a noble people and strive to correct their Queen's mistake. Do you care to join them? This event is a playtest for The Zharovi Gypsies: Curse of the Nightmares. As such, character generation is encouraged, but not required. I'll be attending breakfast this time around, and bringing note cards with me. Anyone who signs up and also makes it to breakfast is more than welcome -in fact, encouraged- to work on their characters with me ahead of time, ask questions before the game starts, etc. The sooner all characters are completed, the more time we'll have to play, after all.
PM Slot "Nightmare City"
Supernatural, Cortex
Hunting the supernatural is never easy, and sometimes it's pretty strange. This time? It's just downright bizarre. What in the world is happening in the small southern town of Reverie? When a Hunter calls the Roadhouse for backup, no one expected to walk into a situation like this. A situation where...wait....honestly? You have no idea what's going on..... Nightmare City is a Supernatural event for up to five players, using the Cortex game system in the setting of the CW television show. No experience with the show or the game is necessary, but they could prove helpful. The only thing you really need to know is that the supernatural is real: ghosts, demons, hauntings, possessions...all real. And some of those who know about it fight back. Saving people, Hunting things...
More details are available at my site, here.

I liked Classroom Deathmatch. I also liked Panty Explosion and Battle Royale. I didn't like the rules system - it just wasn't as collaborative as I'd like. Rarely do you eliminate a peer on your own: you bring friends and have a boot party... CD also operates at an individual level whereas what I'm doing is at a squad level, to use some of the wargaming jargon. Works better at keeping everyone at the table while still allowing for the sex, sadism & snobbery to get Truly Brutal (TM).
I also enjoy the way that extended actions are organized in Reign... because it takes a while to kill a cheerleader, much less the whole mess of them. | |

| Free RPG Day is coming up, June 20. We should have 2 or 3 freebies per customer. Everyone is invited.
Anyone want to run a game on that day? Any RPG, 3-4 hours.

I've forked this to its own thread.

We're 6 and 6 now, but there's easily room for at least one more event in each slot.

| The large minis table in front (by the window) will be taken by our monthly Battletech miniatures group. The GameDay is cleared for the rest of the tables. This shouldn't be a problem, I know it's been a years since we needed both big tables for a GameDay.

| Hey, if nobody's staked a claim yet...can I get the table by the back door? It's where we ended up last time, and I think it worked well. | |
