I'll leave that up to you - it sounds like you have a lot of great games lined up, and the minis event was the more important one I want to have going. If you have room for S&W/OD&D in the afternoon, I'd be happy to run it.

I'm good with whatever you guys come up with table-wise, we'll make it work. As long as we have decent lighting and some space for people to paint, it'll work. If we have a full table, we can ask people to also come back in a little while, I'm sure we won't have a full table all 5 hours.

We're pushing the minis event on rpgchicago.com - it was requested by one of the members. Hopefully we'll have one or two people show up. I might try to rope in Mark Allen (Marjasall of Marjasall Productions - he won the Erol Otus/Otherworld Minis/Fight On art contest last year) to come demo as well. He's got some amazing figures.

Cool. You might get Painfully and Nat to join in and maybe JoeGKushner can be coaxed back to a gameday. If I hadn't already committed huge time, money, and effort to getting this minis battle off the ground, I would likely be in on it as well. As is, I referee with a light touch and once the players get going, I try not to horn in lest it influence their strategies and tactics, so I may get to watch or even paint some. Do you intend to set up a cam and capture some of it for your website?

WEAPONS OF THE GODS
"Auspicious Beginnings"
Welcome to Shen Zhou!
Shen Zhou, or "Land of the Gods", is an epic and fantastic vision of fourth-century China, and serves as the setting for Weapons of the Gods. You play young, up-and-coming heroes of the Wulin: the Martial Atrs world. Whether Warriors, Coutiers or Scholars, your characters are already well-known for their heroic deeds, and are able to focus their chi in spectacular displays of martial-arts power. Seeking challenge, fame and power, you struggle against other martial artists, armies and even monsters in an attempt to have your name known throughout the land!
You are playing one of four bold young heroes who have travelled to the far edges of Shen Zhou, seeking the infamous Only Six Devils to seize some of the most famed splendours in all the land. Only Six Devils is a mighty city set between harsh mountains, the great Yellow River, and the fierce Northern Desert. The personal domain of the mysterious and terrifying Iron Shadow Warlord, it has no law other than his word, and the eccentric whims of his six District Governors - powerful men and women whom locals claim to be the titular Six Devils. The city is famed for two things: the ruthless professionalism of its mercenaries, and the splendour of its markets. It is said that you can buy anything within the walls of Only Six Devils.
However, you have no intention of buying anything. Your motives may be as noble as righting an injustice to your homeland or as selfish as increasing your fame with the boldest of thievery, but you are here to take one of Shen Zhou's greatest treasures! You have banded with other brave members of the Wulin who also seek a treasure only Six Devil City can provide, having fallen together and forged a fast bond of friendship fighting the Devil Cloud gang on your journey! However, for even such a mighty band, the markets do not give up their splendours easily. You begin in the chaotic madness of Unruly Devil District, the most densely populated place in all of Shen Zhou. The treasures that you seek lie in the exclusive serenity of Prosperous Devil District, on sale in the legendary Ninefold Prosperity Pavilion!
Sapphire Miang, Governor of Properous Devil, forbids any to enter her district unless invited by one of the wealthy magnates who dwell there. Luckily, those magnates often have need of brave (or foolhardy) fighters to aid them in their feuds. On this very day, three such nobles are holding a tourney to gain their favor. How lucky for you - you can run on water, split stones with your fists, and count the drops of rain as they fall... how can you fail?
Which of these four brave heroes will you be?
Xiao-Li Pai - A loyal daughter and fierce Warrior, her virtue and ambition soar to the skies, and her sword skill is higher than the clouds!
Feng Guo - A young Warrior who may not be wise, but is stronger than an ox with honour that knows no bounds, and fists like iron!
Liang Shui - A Courtier of unparalleled dedication, he breaks hearts with his smile and poetry, and breaks bones with his sound-based kung-fu!
Patience Meng - A brilliant Scholar, tragically to young to retire to a mountain and contemplate the Dao. His wise advice seems almost magical, his Daoist spells confound the strongest foe, and he can still crack heads with his staff!
Please indicate your character choice when signing up:

Ooh, WotG, eh? I could go for some hot wuxia action... Shaping up to be a good game day already.

Just hope that I learn how to pronounce wuxia by then.
Edit: Note - Our games occupy the same slot right now.

Added.
We absolutely have room.
Don't worry, Nev will cancel his event at some point.
Oh, man, did I say that out loud?

Just say "woo-sha" and you'll be close enough for government work. The hard ones are Yóuxiá (knight-errant, or "martial arts hero") and Jiānghú (land of rivers and lakes, the mystical alternate historical realm of wuxia epics). Wulin (martial forest) is easier.
There are a number of in-depth articles on the genre all over the net. Although I expect there's probably one or two right in the book, and you already have that.
So, hey, Buzz... you should totally switch me to the afternoon so's I can play in the WotG game in the morning.
Unless of course somebody puts up something I want to play more in the afternoon... can I help it if I'd rather play than run? I'm not a very good GM anyway.
