    Chicago Gameday 33 is Nov 10: SIGN UP TO PLAY

    Between you, Chris, Dave, & Dylan I'd say that I should plan to run it again... just not after catching filth & flar at Halloween parties. If I can get the card system in Roll20 to accept tarot decks as well as playing cards, then I'll run a session online. But that's a big if at the moment...

    While no longer contagious, I'm still sicker than I'd hoped that I'd be. Reign needs to be cancelled.

    The 50% break is more accurately expressed as 2+2 (average stat + moderate training/little training+taking an extra turn for prep). Such maths don't entirely apply here. It's all about the Company rules for this scenario. Pretty much every "character" runs one of The Empire's resources (@5d -...

    Catt and I will be joining all for breakfast. The rest of the playing we'll do this time out, we're needing to play by ear (except for my game, naturally).

    ekb & catt33 sittin' in a tree 2 for breakfast Catt would like Trollbabe (AM6) & Bulldogs (PM5). I'm still needing to play Ghosts of Albion (as opposed to raiding and coverting it to BESM), so I need to be in that.

    Chicago Gameday 32 Event Planning

    grimoire, am slot, small table The Saint-Germain Frame (Grimoire) The "Man who never dies" has somehow died. Murder, it seems. You're the prime suspects... 4 players (all ages), no experience necessary, pregens provided (with minor tweaking of stats at the table). Grimoire is a tarot-based RPG...

    For lack of a better set of descriptors, think of it as Steampunk Buffy... but with a stronger emphasis on the scoobies than on the kung fu (IMNSHO). Not that there's not any badassery. Since Tim's going with the d10 (as opposed to the 2d6 "Chicago Way"), the success/fail spectrum is very clear...

    Okay, then... Table A in PM slot goes to Buzz's Dibs Cat, as Microscope gets no love from y'all. See, even less drama than the no-drama that this is. It's, like, anti-drama, even.

    As it is Saturday and there is a custom of later service hours for the weekend, it's still lunch (I can find backing for this in Escoffier and Larousse Gastronomique, but I'll refrain from that flavor of rules lawyering as I'm too f'ng lazy/tired/not bored enough to find the quotes in question...

    Just got this via FB on my rather Shakespearean post for the GM sign-up... If'n I continue to have no one wanting to play Microscope, can we make room for him to use my slot? {If so, then dibs on me playing in that event...}

    Hacking the Hack & Slash For those wanting some 4-color superhero action with very light rule sets but are locked out of the Marvel game, Microscope can do that too. In fact, it's available in the set up of my game as we tweak the setup at the table. No, it's not Cortex+ with the TSoY...
