As has become tradition, there will be a group dinner Saturday night (May 14th) at the Capitol City Brewing Co. located between the gameday location and Union Station. This will likely be our last dinner here, as the restaurant is probably going to have to shutdown this location because the...

This will be a Gamma World adventure set in post-post-post-apocalyptic Washington D.C., 100 or so years after the Big Mistake -- the infinite possibilities for destruction of the D.C. area in all the collapsed realities have resulted in a particularly harsh and gruesome state of affairs in...

Any thoughts on what GM-types are thinking about running? What do players want to play? Expiring minds want to know...

Most of y'all probably know we have a new game shop in D.C., Labyrinth. The owner, Kathleen Donohue, is a very cool person and we want to see her succeed. The store's selection of RPGs is small right now, but decent, and she'll bring on more titles as demand dictates -- she's mostly aiming at...

This thread will be for those folks who are sans games, either by choice or by not being able to get into a game they wanted, and want to have the ability to discuss possible pickup games. For my part, I'll be bringing my "Pickup Game Kit" which includes ready-to-run games and materials for a...

I'm about filled up at my house (actually, I'm reasonably sure I'm overbooked), but I know we've got a couple of folks hoping to come in, assuming they can find a cheap, non-lethal hotel in a non-combat zone area, or better yet, crash space. If you've got any thoughts or ideas (or extra crash...

I'm thinking about hosting/facilitating a Fiasco session. Might run the Princess Bride 2 game, now that RI's broken the curse on it -- might stick with S7S with it, or convert it to Lady Blackbird. Might kickoff a serial arc of Victorian-era supers, using The Kerberos Club setting that just came...

So, it's tradition for us to go over to the Cap City Brewery for dinner and a sudsy beverage following the close of the DCGD festivities. If you're interested in attending, please post here so we can get a head count for the reservation.

We’re going to play Danger Patrol**, an action/adventure retro scifi game. The idea is to re-create the episodes of a 50s-style TV show in the vein of the old Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers serials (with maybe a dash of the Venture Bros., Star Wars, and Indiana Jones). You’re all going to play...

So, today, GMs can start posting games. I'm all over the map as to what I want to run. There's Fiasco: I'd either facilitate the game for 5 people, OR facilitate AND play with 4. There's Atomic Highway: Think "Mad Max/Beyond Thunderdome," "Steel Dawn," or even "The Omega Man" or "The...

Civilization came crashing down. Billions died. A new Dark Age has begun. The descendants of the apocalypse's survivors scavenge the remnants of the Before Times, struggling to build a new life amidst the ruins of the old. In a savage world where the strong ravage and exploit the weak, the...

A blurb from the synDCcon organizers: From what I can tell so far (and that's hazy), it's looking like close to 300 folks may be attending this, more or less. They're expecting more, I believe. ** And yes, yes, I KNOW that it's scheduled during Valentine's Day weekend. That might make a...

I'm pleased, if not ecstatic, over the schedule we have going here, specfically in the variety of games being offered, and the number of sessions running. With that in mind, I just wanted to get a general sense of whether you, the attendees, are happy with what you've signed up for, and/or...

(This will be the same game as the SAT PM session.) Lady Blackbird is on the run from an arranged marriage to Count Carlowe. She hired a smuggler skyship, The Owl, to take her from her palace on the Imperial world of Ilysium across the Wild Blue to the far reaches of the Remnants, so she...

Fat Dragon Games has asked to sponsor DC Gameday V, and the event organizers have happily accepted! As some of you may already know, FDG has been promoting several local gameday events in the Midwest, and Tom Tullis (President of FDG) has decided to expand FDG's direct outreach to players and...

Lady Blackbird is on the run from an arranged marriage to Count Carlowe. She hired a smuggler skyship, The Owl, to take her from her palace on the Imperial world of Ilysium across the Wild Blue to the far reaches of the Remnants, so she could be with her once secret lover: the pirate king Uriah...

Hard Boiled Armies If you’re a fan of the fantasy novels of Glen Cook, J.R.R. Tolkien, and others—or maybe you just pine for the days of Birthright—you might just have an itch that needs scratching. It’s the itch to take armies onto the field of battle, where swords by the hundreds clash and...
