Piratecat I'd be interested in attending as well.

Wow, I was just looking for an excuse to go up to the Boston area. How close are you to Watertown? Will you be expecting the Grandma rule to apply (I want to bring my 13 year old son who has been playing D&D since age 9)

Great! I'm sure there will be occasional swear words from people who forget, but it shouldn't be a problem -- I like to think we'll somehow help launch him on a life of kickass gaming. I'll give people the right to label their games as for adults only, so he doesn't accidentally end up in something inappropriate.

I'm in Newton, probably 20-30 minutes from Watertown when there's traffic (it's not far physically.)

My Mutants and Masterminds game would certainly be age appropriate, as my own young son will be playing in it as well.

I should be able to attend. It's the day after Cub Scout camp week, so I won't be able to run a game. W00t!

PS

If I could get some kind soul to help me out with a ride from Poughkeepsie, I'd love to run a few games.

One of which: Spirit of the Century!

I am glad I checked this thread!

I am running a game where anything goes, so I really don't think that Grandma's rule applies to my game....I edited my description to give the "not grandma friendly" warning.

Trans-Siberian Express

Woot! I am in for the second wave. I expect to make it around 11:00. Here's what I have in mind:

The Trans-Siberian Express - Spirit of the Century by NoPantsYet

Several wealthy and influential figures have each received a mysterious invitation from an unknown host in the form of boarding pass in St. Petersburg and a small key imprinted with a number. Where is this train headed? Who has invited them and for what purpose? What is in store for them on the Trans-Siberian Express?

Spirit of the Century recreates the dime store pulp adventures of someone's youth way before our time. Prepare yourself for mystery, excitement, and derring-do. Up to 6 players, no rules knowledge required.

Thanks, Piratecat for setting this up and opening your lair to the ravaging hoards (i.e. us).

Here's what I have in mind:

Ooh, that sounds good!

 

[Ao the Overkitty]

I'm going to go the easy route and run my Ewoks game.

Name: Star Wars: Ewoks Unleashed
System: Star Wars: Saga Edition
Genre: 80s Cartoon
# of Players: 6
Blurb: It is a dark time for Bright Tree Village. Though the village's Sunstone was retrieved from the evil Imperial scientist Raygar, the Empire has since established a presence on Endor. As the Imperial Scouts and their bases get closer and closer, it seems that it might be up to Wicket, Princess Kneesaa, Teebo and their friends to save the village from these seemingly invincible foes.

Can we sing the Star Wars Xmas special songs?

I'll probably just run Paranoia instead of Dying Earth, but we'll see. Too many other good games to play.
