    Show us your Rat Bastardry!

    Not too long ago, I was running a Star Wars adventure set during the Clone Wars... The characters were all "troubleshooters" for a neutral faction. A bacta (super healing fluid!) super-tanker belonging to the faction had disappeared, and the characters had been sent to locate it and retrieve...

    Not this adventure... Trust me. And I simply don't have anything else ready at the moment.

    Chicago Gameday 34 is March 23rd: SIGN UP TO PLAY!

    Okay... Less than a week left, and I've only got two players. It may be best to cancel my event, so Nev, Delwugor and I can find seats elsewhere while we've still got the chance. Sorry guys. Buzz, please add me to Durance in the afternoon.

    It takes that long? Yeah, because of the schtick, I'm dealing with just the six characters from the Cartoon show... and they, surprisingly, never had a healer in the group. I don't expect they'll last long. :devil:

    Vyvyan Basterd and everyone else playing in afternoon events 5 and 7... A proposal. What do you guys think of combining these two events into a Tomb of Horrors double feature in the afternoon? I mean, really... it's Tomb of Horrors. How long do we expect either event will last on it's own...

    Oh, by the way, Buzz... If you want the "FATE Core" link to actually go somewhere, here's the url for the FATE Core Kickstarter page: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/evilhat/fate-core

    Oooh... Does this mean I get to break out my stereotypically corny Eastern European accent?

    Chicago Gameday 34 is 3/23: Event Planning Thread

    Oh, by the way, Buzz... I made a small change to my event. I'll be using the new Fate Core play test rules, instead of homebrewed FATE 3.0. Thought you'd like to know.

    How many halflings does it take to screw in a lightbulb

    Presuming the lightbulb is at least 3 feet tall and the halflings are a little bit drunk, just two... Three, if they want post a video of it on the internet. *RIMSHOT!*

    Chicago Gameday 34 is 3/23: Event Planning Thread

    I would like to volunteer to run a game in the afternoon slot... I will be running S1 - Tomb of Horrors using The KISS of FATE, a home-brewed subsystem of FATE 3.0, for up to 6 players.

    Looking for a new RPG - Recommendations?

    I beginning to sound like a broken record, but... My group was having similar problems with 4E. We switched to FATE 3.0 (we tried out Spirit of the Century, Dresden Files, and finally settled on Starblazer Adventures, because we wanted a sci-fi game). The basic mechanics are modestly rules...

    Setting: X-Files meets A-Team. System: ?

    The Dresden Files RPG (FATE 3.0) would work great for this...

    Looking for a new ruleset for my group

    My group has recently switched to assorted FATE 3.0 systems (Spirit of the Century, Dresden Files, Starblazer Adventures...), and we're having a lot of fun with it.

    Examples when you cheated, and why.

    I cheated pretty consistently through grade school, because I was the shortest, scrawniest little science geek in class, and if I couldn't literally throw my weight around in real life, I could at least make certain that I could figuratively do it in our collective imaginations... I perpetually...

    Help Me Steampunk a Missile Launcher

    First, watch the movie Steamboy. Then, do a YouTube search for "compressed gas cylinder rocket"... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejEJGNLTo84 Mix well.

    Players Want A D20 Modern Mundane Campaign

    As others have said, delegate some of the work to your players. Phases from FATE 3.0 can help, as (Psi)SeveredHead mentioned... Something else I'm going to try for my next game is using randomized "plot maps"... Each player writes down a list of six things: A Person An Event A Faction A...
