I had never asked that a Chicago Gameday thread be archived before, but I think with the transition between my organizing it and passing it on to MattyHelms it might be helpful. Plus it'll be nice to hang on to the photos that way.

Games Plus ( http://www.games-plus.com )
101 W Prospect Ave
Mount Prospect, Illinois 60056
(847) 577-9656
Hosts: Curt Duval & Jeff Swegler (owners)
Schedule-
Breakfast (Slot Nul) - To be held from 8:00AM to 9:00AM at Little America (located across the tracks and a couple blocks northwest of the store)-
(Arrive at the store around 9AM to settle in at your game tables)
Slot One - 9:30AM to 2:30PM
Game 1 - Guards! Save the King! (D&D3E/d20)
Summary - Seems like everyone wants to hurt the King. Even you aren't all that impressed with him. Unfortunately it is your job to see that he is not killed and that the potential assassins are eliminated. It's the classic DM versus the players scenario but with a twist. Instead of being allowed to blithely walk into the dangers, the dangers will be coming after you and yours. Is that a kitchen sink poised over your heads...? 10th level characters provided.
DM - Mark
Seats - Full
Game 2 - Where's my baby? (D&D3e/d20)
Summary - In the small town of Orus, people have reported things missing, cattle, dogs, cats, other pets, and now three or four small children, including the first born of the duchess and duke of the berg. You are an intrepid group of adventurers, asked to find the missing babies and children, and stop this evil. An adventure for 4-6 sixth level characters, max gold for level, with no more then one minor magic item, all the scrolls, potions and stuff you can afford. (WOTC stuff only)
DM - Pat_B
Seats - 2 seats left
Game 3 - Skinny Ties and Brilliant Minds (d20 Modern system)
Summary - Five MIT graduates, highly-esteemed in their respective fields, have kept in touch over the years to secretly fight global crime. Now, in 1984, evil rears its ugly head again and these brilliant minds must criss-cross the world in an effort to stop it before it is too late! Pre-generated characters of 10th level (no Advanced Classes) provided. Beginners to d20 Modern welcome!

Game 1 - Gun Runners (Spycraft d20 system)
Summary - "At 8:00am this morning an army weapons convoy left the Sierra Army Depot outside of Harlong, California. The convoy carried hundreds of rifles, machine guns, pistols.....and stinger missles. It was travelling to Mina, Nevada, the site of a military exercise. The convoy was due to arrive around 1:00pm, but has not yet done so. The last radio check in was at 11:30am. I want you to go to Schurz and assume control of this investigation."
*You are FBI agents operating out of Reno, Nevada. As of your debriefing at 2:00 pm, this is a Threat Code: Yellow mission. Requisitioning will be handled via email PREVIOUS to gameday. Characters will be pre-made, but I preffer to take requests. Players can email me at mostholycerebus@yahoo.com
DM - Roland Delacroix
Seats - 4 seats left
Game 2 - CROATOAN (Call of Cthulhu d20 system)
Summary - No synopsis, but it will be modern and will involve isolation in a small town. Characters will be provided, but players can make their own - no combat machines and no psychics. People who played in my last game are welcome to play the same characters - we can work out some changes they may have gone through.
DM - MattyHelms
Seats - Full
Game 3 - War: Age of Imperialism (Board Game)
Summary - War: Age of Imperialism is an empire-building game of colonization and conquest. It is similar to both Risk and Axis & Allies (down to the plastic minis) and lies between the two on the complexity scale. Participants will be asked to download and read a copy of the rules prior to the gameday (from
http://www.eaglegames.net/products/...resources.shtml ).
