Yes, please.
Sorry to hear it, sw3333, but no worries.
Maybe I should just run my Marvel event twice... Hmm.

@ Buzz I'd be happy to run the following in the PM slot. I expect two cookies now.
Title: Operation Quiet Thunder
System: The Laundry (Call of Cthulhu)
# of Players: 6
Table: Any
Time: PM
Pregens: Yes
Ages: PG-13
Earlier this morning, the CIA lost contact with the crew of a oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico code named Thunder Gator. They have asked us to join a Navy SEALs team to investigate the rig--but they won't explain why. Given this is an oil rig in the gulf, we suspect KUHOOK (code name for the Deep Ones from the Shadow Over Insmouth) are involved. Big question--why is the CIA in contact with an oil rig in the first place? Go with the SEAL team and figure out what's going on. But be careful! If this thing goes FUBAR, it'll be more than the Gulf Coast that gets trashed.
The Laundry is a mix of Call of Cthulhu and James Bond with a dash of Dilbert. You play junior members of the Black Chamber, a semi-governmental organization tasked with protecting the United States from occult threats based on Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos. You can cast spells (from your iPhones), use guns (poorly), and face gibbering horrors from eldritch dimensions that want to eat your head. Sanity checks will happen.
The available player-characters:

The available player-characters:
- Raymond Boudreaux: Former marine and the closest the team has to a combat specialist because he knows which end of the gun to point at the bad guys. Strong, disciplined, and annoyingly military.
- Donald Kagan: Ex-priest (it's hard to believe in God once you've had dreams from Nyarlothotep), most experienced in the bad guys, which makes him the least sane.
- Sarah "sh33r4" Harmon: Hacker wannabe who believes in her l33t hax0r skillz even though no one else does. The fact she still says "l33t" should tell you something. Still, she comes in handy.
- Dr. Leo Contelli: Aging college professor who read the wrong book. Haughty but clueless, he nevertheless knows a lot about magic and the occult. Too bad most of it is wrong.
- Bryce Phillips: Tea Partier who believes Cthulhu and his minions are evil because they are socialists. (Oh, and they want to kill people.) Most interested in saving America from illegal extra dimensional aliens.
- Rachel Jordan: Computational sorcerer who would easily had become a bad guy had the Black Chamber not gotten to her first. She's a bit on the creepy side, though.

Buzz,
Please un-reserve the afternoon slot for me. I'm apparently facing too large a GM's block to come up with anything satisfactory to run.
