    Chicago Gameday XVII Planning Thread: June 30th is our date

    Heh. Unless your players are of subhuman intelligence, that happens as a natural progression of play. Using ASL or other forms of sign language you already know is, of course, prohibited. You aren't forbidden to communicate- in fact you must learn to do so to survive. You're just forbidden to...

    Chicago Gameday XVII Planning Thread: June 30th is our date

    Hm. I don't see anything that grabs me yet, so I guess I'll have to step up again and run something that does. So, put me down for an evening slot of Primitive, for up to 6 players. For those that have not been living in a cave, Primitive is a game of prehistoric tribal cooperation, discovery...

    Chicago Gameday XVI: the aftermath!

    I started an AP thread over here: http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=189282 and also at the Forge, over here: http://www.indie-rpgs.com/forum/index.php?topic=23383.0 Any of my fellow players (or anybody, really) is welcome to speak up.

    February Game Day Actual Play Reports!

    So! Played some Agon, and ran some Don't Rest Your Head. Both rocked. Here are the bits I remember, hopefully my fellow players can fill in their recollections as well. Agon, in the AM. Competitive Greek heroics. It took us a while to get up to speed with this one, partly because we did...

    Chicago Gameday XVI: the aftermath!

    Great times. Once we got rolling, Agon proved its worth enough that I bought Reidzilla's copy from him (he's got another one coming in the mail). Normally I don't prefer crunchy or tactical systems, but this one is well done and I think once a group of players gets familiar with it, it could...

    Chicago Gameday XVI: the aftermath!

    Prizewise, a friend gave me a copy of the 1980 red cover TSR Basic Rules for Dungeons & Dragons (the very same one featured in the icon for Game 2: Death in the Tombs of Moldvay), which I flipped through but have no use for. I shall be donating it to the prize table.

    Chicago Gameday XVI: the aftermath!

    No worries. I just want to know how much prep to do. I'm leaning toward less anyway, but I'd still rather know what I'm up against, so to speak. Nervous, but looking forward to it!

    Right. So, what's the upshot of all this? Are they in or out?

    Chicago Gameday XVI: the aftermath!

    Pvt. Patterson and his friends are welcome to play whatever they most desire. I signed up to run 4 player slots, I will run as many of those slots as are filled. That said, I'd like the ones that are filled to be with players who actually want to play the game I'm running. Even if it is their...

    Chicago Gameday XVI: the aftermath!

    GAAAAAH. :eek: :confused: And here I had blown off the rest of my prep because I figured with 2 players I could just wing it. :\ *sigh* Guess I better get on that, then. :uhoh: I never use smileys, either. :p

    Chicago Gameday XVI: the aftermath!

    I know it's too early to tell, but if nobody signs up for my game, I am totally sitting in on the Spirit of the Century game... even if only as a spectator. Those Evil Hat guys just can't seem to go wrong... On the other hand, I will happily run DRYH for one or two people if that's all that...

    Chicago Gameday XVI: the aftermath!

    Sign me up for breakfast, and Agon. And... oh, right... guess I'm already signed up for the pm slot, heh. ^_^ Hey, where did the Gamma-Oz artwork come from? That's supa-bad@ss!

    I saw the posters over at Plus today while picking up some dice for DRYH / Mechaton (which both use lots of various colors of d6s). They look nice, even in BW. Good job. Looking forward to this, even if I'm a bit trepidatious (yes I made that word up) about my first GMing experience since...

    And that, people, is what the independent game design movement is all about *g* I've been listening to Agon demos via webcast and I am double psyched to play now... I knew it was crunchy, but I didn't know it was innovatively crunchy. I am so down... let's kill us some orcs minotaurs! *goes...

    Congrats, Curt (& co), on the impending 25 years! I don't stop in there as often as I'd like... And as long as you're looking for that, ask them for Don't Rest Your Head, too, so people can buy their own copy after I run it. ^_^ OR, better yet, you could stop by IndiePressRevolution.com...

    Oh, right. My bad. That would be an evening game, as I hope to play Agon in the morning slot. Don't Rest Your Head would be the system. "I will provide semi-pregenned character sheets and dice, just bring a pencil, yourself, and a willingness to push your limits." Thanks for asking ^_^

    You know what? I'm always complaining that I can never get a game going. If I don't take advantage of a glaring opportunity like this, I'll never get around to it. Sign me up. Don't Rest Your Head - Serious Moonlight Players will take the roles of insomniacs in the Slumbering City. By day...
