    Chicago Gameday XI a success! Share your war stories.

    Yet another super Gameday. Thanks, as always, to Curt and his crew for putting up with us and giving me the opportunity to give them vasts amounts of money. Glad you're there for us. GMs, thanks for the efforts in entertaining me. Pbartender, another fun round of swashbuckling. I've never...

    Chicago Gameday XI a success! Share your war stories.

    OK, I will not abandon solid games and good DMs just because Serenity has openings (great, now I have to PAY that shaman...), but I will still need to see the book, FC willing, if not rifle through the pages absorbing information, extrapolating plotlines, cross-referenceing back stories, blah...

    Chicago Gameday XI a success! Share your war stories.

    I go away for one weekend, ONE mind you, and then you decide to drop the sign-up link. And what fills up first? Frackin' Serenity, of course. GORRAM! Teach me to visit the family... Luckily, we all know every game will be more than worth the price of admission (still undying loyalty to Games...

    Chicago Gameday XI is 7/9: Planning thread!

    Ninjacat- I personally would play any game by Eden Studios, just love the Unisystem. I also think the loose Cinematic feel makes for quicker pick-up by noobs and easier character help by GMs. While I have a spot in my heart for Buffy/Angel (ah, the puns run to easily) I think a session of All...

    Chicago Gameday XI is 7/9: Planning thread!

    I've kept my anticipation quiet for some time now, but damnit Wesel, flaunting your sneak preview of Serenity is poking the bear one time too many! So for the third straight Gameday I will be running a character from a beloved cult show with the same GM. The wife is really starting to worry...

    One Shot Saturday! [Chicagoland]

    I'm going to assume everything is still on for tomorrow 3-5-05. Even if it's not, there's certainly no harm in visiting Games Plus the day after I get paid, is there? ;)

    Chicago Gameday X: the awesome aftermath

    A delayed thanks to all involved in making another Gameday rock! Only at Games Plus can someone go from cabin boy to Baron of Mt. Prospect in the space of a day. Matt, thanks for the swashbuckling fun. Might I suggest less nature next time? Stupid animals, with their claws and the biting and...

    Chicago Gameday X: the awesome aftermath

    I know it's National Pistachio Day, but other than that....nah. Nothing big going on. Might go shopping at Games Plus. :)

    combat with a Paladin's mount

    Since my paladin's mount did more damage than my paladin last gaming session, I've decided to invest some research into properly utilizing my warhorse. So I'm looking for some answers/opinions on a few quick questions about mounts. Assuming that the warhorse does a full attack of 2 hooves and a...

    Quoteable moments

    So our party is meandering around a new town. It’s night so our resident rouge and barbarian want to see what trouble they can find (or make) in the waterfront district. My paladin tags along to save a few souls and keep the two from bringing the entire militia down on us (again). We witness a...

    Chicago Gameday X: the awesome aftermath

    My bad on the weasel, FCWESEL, but you can see the amount of strain the decision put upon me due to my inability to spell out the name of a very charming and fair and generous GM. Remember, brown nosing begins at home kids. :D

    Rotate campaigns or stay the course?

    Yet another question on how you dole out your campaign. How many game sessions/weeks/get togethers do you spend in one campaign before opening the floor to a different game, be it a one-shot in another venue or a complete change of pace for a little while? I know it always comes down to how you...

    Chicago Gameday X: the awesome aftermath

    OK, after much debate and sleepless nights (well, debates anyways) I’ve decided on my game sessions. Maybe. Can’t decide. Can’t decide. Brain aneurysm! :confused: An early thank you (and mild curse) to all the GMs for giving me so many wonderful gaming options and making me spend an inordinate...

    Big picture or minor detail?

    I must say, I appreciate all the feedback I’ve gotten so far and I feel a bit better knowing I’m not under-planning my campaign. I’ve sketched out the world, with particular attention to the area around the characters starting town, and have an intro adventure totally planned out within that...

    The party disbands because...?

    While building a new group, I’ve been feeling nostalgic about some of my old gaming groups, which are legion. Each has its own memories, but in the end they all have one thing in common: they broke up. Outside commitments, moves, and drifting apart generally play a role in most break ups, but...

    Big picture or minor detail?

    Since I’m looking to kick off a new campaign with a new group, I’ve come up with a number of general questions concerning how others run their campaigns. I’m not looking for help building my campaign, I’m just curious as to how individual GMs mete out their campaigns in the long run. For my...

    Chicago Gameday IX is Oct 23rd: THE AFTERMATH...

    Cubs beat Lions...huh? Totally agree with Barendd Nobeard, FCWesel ran one of the funnest games I've been in. The action was fast and funny in the Angel/Buffy game, but never got out of control or too silly. Not an easy task with undead monkeys, a lost nose, a funky smelling van and a chain...

    Chicago Gameday IX is Oct 23rd: THE AFTERMATH...

    Great day of gaming. Special shout out to Curt and the Games Plus crew for being great hosts and to the GMs who worked so hard to bring me so much fun. Everyone was friendly and into the games, and for the first time in a long time there were no heated words over my gaming table. Probably...

    All right, showered and shaved, once the coffee hits the system I'll be on the road. Hopefully I'll wake up somewhere between here and there. See everyone at the store. Yort

    Chicago Gameday IX is Oct 23rd: THE AFTERMATH...

    Ready to roll In the valiant attempt to be the last to sign up, I would like to throw my hat into the ring for Slot 1 Game 3 Allied Avengers Assemble. Beyond my general need to procrastinate, I just picked up the stingy gamer edition of the SAS d20 rules last weekend and finally feel...
