You'd be looking at about an hour ride on a good night from Mt. Prospect; on a weeknight during rush hour, it could be considerably longer than that. I wouldn't put anyone through that. But thanks for the interest! :) Mike

Bumping once more before I go off to run our second session. :)

To bump this, I'd like to say that we're still looking for a permanent third payer to join us in Rockford on Tuesday nights, on a more or less weekly basis. We're playing a campaign inspired by HBO's "Deadwood," set on a backwater world. Starting characters at 3rd level, era, Old Republic. Mike

Taking some more cues from existing products, both Call of Cthulhu and D&D: Lovecraft was all about inbred, failing gene pools ("The Shadow Over Innsmouth"). You could go REALLY dark with the Dragonmarked Houses and make them a bunch of inbred, insane aristocrats. Maybe the marks are turning...

Okay, I'm sure what the world needs now is another Eberron thread... :) But it seems to me that Eberron really is a great setting for exploring some Old Skool Lovecraftian themes. Think about it: the world's coming out of a devastating war which has shaken its psyche to the core (1920s, the...

It probably does make more sense to bring back an existing game than for me to create a new adventure, pre-gens, and come out there tomorrow. So I'll pass on this Games Day. Hope everyone has a good time. Mike

Typically, though, there's fewer players floating around in the afternoon for pickup games?

As far as a putative Eberron game is concerned: I don't want to rock the boat, but I do want to offer my services as DM if they're needed. I'm mostly interested in running something, not playing. Please let me know if there's room for a pickup game today so I know whether I'll want to come...

Two reasons: I wasn't sure if I'd be working on Saturday until I got word today that I wouldn't be, and I didn't quite understand the new event submission and reservation system for the Games Day, so I missed the deadlines to submit my own event(s).

Is there any need or room for a pickup game on Saturday? I could run an Eberron adventure...

Best. War story. EVAR. I remember a lot of great moments in Desert of Desolation, most of which I changed from the module... our gnome jester sliding the five teleportation cubes in a circle around the party in an effort to escape the deadly troll combat at the beginning of the game and thus...

Hey all. Understandably, this is insanely short notice, but I wanted to see if there's anyone in the Rockford, IL or State Line area who'd want to sit in on a game of Star Wars d20 Revised tomorrow night. We're having a problem getting the game started because our third player keeps missing the...

Oh, man. I always miss the start of these threads. Well, it looks like the morning slot is full for games. I would like to run something, though, so we'll see what I've got up my sleeve for this Games Day. I missed the last one with a brutal flu. Mike

I am sad that I missed this Games Day, but also happy I did not pass this creeping crud on to anyone else. I believe my girlfriend is currently incubating a strain of said crud, so I've got enough guilt to last me a while. :) Anyway, I'll be there next time with two games, guaranteed, unless a...

Yeah guys. I just woke up from my third nap of the day and the aforementioned stomach ailments so colorfully described by ejja have finally claimed me. Count me out in full tomorrow, very very regretfully. I'll make it up somehow for the next Games Day. I feel crappy, but knowing I won't be...
