    Chicago EN World Game Day: The Aftermath! :)

    Hey folks. Well, I woke up this morning (Friday) feeling marginally worse than I did yesterday with this flu. Here's the deal: if I feel this bad or worse tomorrow morning, I cannot see myself gaming for 12 hours straight. It'll just be misery for both me and my players. I'm sorry to have to...

    Chicago EN World Game Day: The Aftermath! :)

    Again, sorry I've been absent but I've had the creeping crud the past couple of days. I think I picked it up at RockCon. Speaking of RockCon, I did get a chance to playtest my Call of Cthulhu game there and it went very well. I hope we do get 4 players. If we do not, I am in the mood to run a...

    Sorry I've been away so long, but for some reason I was unsubscribed to the email notification to these threads. Bummer. There will be six pre-gens for my Arcana Unearthed game, so no worries if you don't have the book. For my Call of Cthulhu folks: I'd really like to have the full four...

    Hear hear. On a lighter note, I have a question to ask. Are there power outlets near the gaming tables and can I call dibs on one? My laptop battery is on its last legs and could not last a four-hour game session, I fear.

    Yeah, you'll get the pregens at Games Day for both of my games. Wow, looking forward to this, guys!

    Yup. Just make sure I get to see your character by the 13th so I can approve it. I'm looking forward to seeing what you bring? Any character concepts at this time? Oh, by the way, if you take an item creation feat, you can of course spend the base price for any magical items that you could create.

    Chicago EN World Game Day: The Aftermath! :)

    Thanks! By the way, this game is all pre-gens. In fact, you'll get two completely different versions of your character; one in 1983 (at a lower level) and one in 2003. By the way, I am using the d20 CoC rules by and large as they appear in the book but with one important house-rule: hit points...

    Here's the synopsis for my morning event. "Twenty Years Later..." Call of Cthulhu d20/Delta Green In 1983, the PCs are investigating a series of murders in and around a military base. In 2003, the PCs are twenty years older (but not necessarily wiser), and the murders are happening again. Can...

    Okay, got some ideas for my morning game. Bear with me as I free-associate: Stuff I'd like to run: * First of all, I noticed there are no Star Wars or Call of Cthulhu games on schedule, which have been popular choices at past Games Days. Are people tired of them? If not, either of those could...

    Heh. Okay, excellent. I'll have something selected, including synopsis, in the next 24 hours. I'm a born GM. :) And hey, I take requests! If there's a consensus for anything in particular, I'm receptive.

    Excellent! Can I run something in the morning? Does it have to be d20? Mike

    By the way, start with the following ability scores arranged to taste: 15, 14, 13, 12, 12, and 10.

    Chicago EN World Game Day: The Aftermath! :)

    Arcana Unearthed uses essentially its own homebrew version of the D&D 3.0 rules, with some changes that resemble 3.5 and some that don't. There are some skill changes ("Sneak" instead of Hide and Move Silently), an entirely-different magic system, some combat streamlining, and the aforementioned...

    True. I'll have the stat gen and other peripheral info up after I finish the pre-gens sometime this weekend. At that time I'll also post capsule descriptions of all 6 pre-gens.

    Chicago EN World Game Day: The Aftermath! :)

    Hey guys, I'm afraid that character generation is a little too complicated in Arcana Unearthed for me to email it to you. It really does require a copy of the AU corebook. The races, classes, skills and feats are ALL specific to the setting. Mike
