Why certainly. It looks like it's going to be one of the festivities at the next NC DM's Council Dinner. More info here: monkey poo? Thanks Henry! That's actually a really good idea. One of the things that I've been trying to do in these games is make the environment a key part of the action...

Delemental, I like your style :D. Pretty much all of those ideas are viable options. Somehow I don't think that it'd be the same without the pot ;) NCSUCodeMonkey

Well thanks for the compliment and the ideas :) I like the idea of a treasure map, and pirates, cannot forget the pirates. More pirates? I'm sensing a trend. Actually those are some really good ideas. BTW, if you wanted to get in on some Avengers action, we're going to be playing in Cary in late...

I'm running the third game in a series late next month and I'm trying to find some gimmicks for the game. First, a quick background: The series is Underoo Avengers, in which the players are a group of eight-year-old super heroes who fight crime, uphold justice, and get home before dinner. I'm...

Yep, I used a misslie silo as the base of my BBEG in a super heroes game. Steve Jackson Games has some great maps for this, if (like me) you're too lazy to draw you own: http://www.doordice.com/GameAids/ProductDetails.cfm?Product_UID=DCTLMPU5

Drat! My fiancee and I are moving to Boston this summer, but it looks like this'll be about a month too early. Oh well, we can catch it next time around. How regularly do you have these shindigs? I can try to bring some NC Game Day classics up to Boston with me. :) NCSUCodeMonkey

Oh, one other quick question. Where is the best place to continue discussion of the next DM's dinner? I was thinking of running a Grimm game at AFAG in Cary on one of BU's dates. Since I'll need some more experienced players to make it through a Grimm game, we could probably easily turn it into...

And Now...Quotable Quotes Well that was my last NC Game Day for quite some time, and I must say that it was quite memorable! Thanks to BU for a swashbuckling good time in the Pirates game! I mean, how many times do you get to talk like a pirate at game day? And hats off to die_kludge, Round...

Reading all of Old One's game info made me mighty curious, so I burned an Amazon gift certificate to get the Black Company CS. I just got the book today and I like what I see so far! I'm more than willing to lend it to a player in Old One's game if another copy is needed. NCSUCodeMonkey

Yes, but was it recreated with voice talent of South Park? That is still probably the single most disturbing part of any Grimm game: my out-of-town-guest Aaron assigning South Park voices to each of the characters in your puppet show script. OK, so I lied. The most disturbing was when my...

Having never done this sort of thing and being completely unfamiliar with the etiquette of such things, would it be better for me to run Grimm on one of those days or on another Sunday when there is no D&D game? Later in the merry-merry month of May will probably be better for me, so I'll likely...

Hooray for BBQ! I'll be there! I don't know if I'll make it early enough to help with the pick up, but it's pretty likely. To everyone in Rel's Sky Galleons game, you're in for a lot of fun. I had an especially good time playing the "Professor," who's really more of a "Mad Bomber What Bombs at...

Rel, I should be able to make it on Sunday. Would you mind posting a quick list of who's actually signed up for the game? I threw my name in the hat a page or so ago, but I wanted to make sure before I show up @ 1:30 :). Also, I assume that directions are forthcoming? Or should we just look for...

Rel, I could help playtest if there's still a slot open. I'm still up for dinner, regardless. Pretty sure that April 10th is the only day that I could play, though. NCSUCodeMonkey

Er, yeah...except it's my bride! :D

Sneaky die_kludge, not posting the rules until after the game is full :D. Just kidding, actually, because it looks like a lot of fun. In fact, it sounds an awful lot like my Grimm games, from a DM perspective. I didn't get to run the earlier games through a playtest, so combat was basically just...

I just slipped into two games, since I don't think I'll have time to tweak my last Grimm game before Game Day. So that should round out the player count for everyone. Quasqueton, it's great to see you in a game! It's been months (years?) since we've spoken, so I'm really looking forward to it...

Many thanks to Neal, Rel, and all those that played, DMed, and pitched in for making this yet another great Game Day! It always amazes me that in one day you can meet so many great people and learn so much about the hobby. Mucho wisdom is handed down at these gatherings, I can tell you that! To...

Ditto here. I'll have one out of town guest, but I've got an empty bedroom and two (not very comfortable) couches. We'll make do somehow, if necessary. NCSUCodeMonkey

WHHHOOOO-HOOOO! Yeah, right Rel :). You're a prop addict, plain and simple. And you've passed that on to me, so don't be backing down now! I'm about to sit down and put the finishing-finishing touches on the Avengers game. And its got LASERS! And a PIRATE! :D OK, off to go double check the...
