I was talking about wanting to try Burning Wheel in place of D&D and you mentioned something else.

What's AW?

Ah, sorry. AW = Apocalypse World. It's a post-apocalypse RPG written by D. Vincent Baker. The "Apocalypse West" event willowx is running is a hack of the game, as are Monster of the Week and Monsterhearts, games that Reidzilla and willowx have run at Gamedays past. Not sure if Dungeon World has been run before; I want to say JoeBeason ran it, but I could be thinking about Forge Midwest.

Added! You will rock, don't sweat it.

Durnit, now I have to decide between Monsterhearts and Marvel! And possibly whatever Nev or Trev run!

Buzz, if you choose to run something awesome, make it in the afternoon, so I can just lament it and not be torn by it! (Not to mention keeping the slots even, heh.)

Oh, by the way, Buzz... I made a small change to my event. I'll be using the new Fate Core play test rules, instead of homebrewed FATE 3.0.

Thought you'd like to know.

Well, I don't know if it will be awesome, but I've decided to run the Leverage RPG in the afternoon.

Noted!

Still room for one more event in each slot!
