Sorry, real life has taken over...including a complete meltdown of a motherboard and HDD on my desktop (just recently replaced).

I would say someone else can step up and do a poster, I think Kent said he was up for doing one.

It might take me a few weeks, but I could modify the one I did last time:

Does that mean you are actually making the poster, Kent, but joking about the time it will take? I could throw something together in a pinch but it would likely not display the same loving care and DNA our friend from the north would provide.

Buzz - Could you add a post here that includes the text you want on the poster? Not just a description of what you want but the actual text?

SUPERNATURAL will in no way, shape or form be out by Game Day. At this point I would be surprised if they make Christmas.

Sorry for the bad news...

Darn WotC. *shakes fist*

Thanks for letting me know!

FYI, I'm again running into the bug that prevents the first post from being updated due to length. Be aware that it may need to get edited down. I can probably remove the images before having to edit any event descriptions.

Eeek. Buzz, feel free to trim the character descriptions off my event. In fact, please DO trim them; I'll just re-post them here. If a link can be added to my event's description, great, but it's not NEEDED. The four players I currently have all know which character they want to play, so the link would only be a guide for any future sign-ups filling the last two seats.

"Best Laid Lines of Demons and Men" Characters

The following list of characters will be available in my Supernatural/WitchCraft event. If any player cares to choose a character ahead of time, leave a post with your choice here on the GD18 sign-up thread. Keep in mind, these descriptions are how the characters appear in the Roadhouse. Many have secrets, things are not always what they seem, and appearances can be deceiving...
  • Arlo (Arlene), a burly biker, wanted by the Feds & an expert at hunting werewolves
  • Ash, a.k.a. "Dr. Badass", resident of the Roadhouse & a computer genius
  • Bobby Singer, of Singer's Salvage Yard, an expert on demons & the paranormal
  • Brian O'Boyle, a priest who lost his parish, he now hunts demons
  • Chris Booker, a 23 year old junior hunter, raised by one parent to avenge the others death
  • Erin (Aaron) Booker, Chris' mother (father), her husband sacrificed himself to save her
  • Jess Martin, an Army Brat with a mix of hunter-appropriate skills & abilities
  • Jo Harvelle, Ellen's daughter, determined to follow in her hunter father's footsteps
  • Jonas (Janelle) LeFleur, a New Orleans Voudon with a unique knowledge of ghosts
  • KC Carter, quietly driven by revenge, rumor has it KC used to be a cop, years ago
  • Leanne Leighton, a quiet, perceptive woman with uncanny instincts for the paranormal
  • Missouri Moseley, a psychic from the Winchesters' hometown of Lawrence, Kansas
  • Rivertree, a Native American shaman with unique connections to the spirits of nature

Done!

FYI, I'm again running into the bug that prevents the first post from being updated due to length. Be aware that it may need to get edited down. I can probably remove the images before having to edit any event descriptions.

The middle paragraph of my event description can be cut...

"Dread is a game of horror and suspense. Those who play it participate in a mutual telling of an original macabre tale. The goal of the game is to sustain the delicate atmosphere that is necessary to produce the hand quivering emotion that lends Dread its name. In play, dice, cards, or other more-traditional randomizers are replaced by a tower of blocks, such as the Jenga® game. When a character attempts a task beyond their capabilities, the tower determines their success--they can succeed by pulling a block, or choose to fail by not pulling. But if the tower falls, their character is removed from the game, never to return. Players prone to martyrdom can mollify this somewhat by deliberately knocking over the tower, resulting in a heroic or dramatic success, despite their character exiting the game."

...Especially since the event is currently full, and there's a link to the game's website with the same paragraph, verbatim.

For reference, here's the poster from XV. Other than the date and the games listed, this is pretty much what needs to be on the poster.

I can get more specific later tonight, if need be.
