    Chicago Gameday XII is Nov 12th: Planning Thread

    Err...it seems lile we're running out of weekends. :uhoh: If we decide against Nov 12, that is. Not counting Oct 22, we would either have to plan for early Oct or early Dec. Early Oct might work but we would have to kick into high gear. Early Dec is smack dab in the holiday season which could...

    Chicago Gameday XII is Nov 12th: Planning Thread

    Dang! It seems like you can't go a weekend in Fall without tripping over a Chicagoland or Mid-western con! Thalmin, is Games-plus planning to attend Windycon as a vendor? If so, will you still have enough staff to run the Gameday?

    Chicago Gameday XII is Nov 12th: Planning Thread

    As I've mentioned before, I will most likely run one or two of the following games: Weapons of the Gods, Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 2ed, Mutants & Masterminds 2ed (way better than 1st), Shadowrun 4th, Super Happy Fun Time Random Adventure, or Paranoia XP.

    Thanks everyone for the feedback. I was not too sure about either idea but I thought they would as least kick off some discussion. :cool: Thought #3: A change in schedule to accommodate more gaming. * Morning slot: 9:30am – 12:30pm * Lunch break: 12:30pm – 1:30pm * Swag Time...

    Chicago Gameday XII is Nov 12th: Planning Thread

    Perhaps the next step is to discuss any thoughts on improving the Gameday? Thought #1: Everybody pitches in $5-6 and we get a catered lunch. Say like pasta, baked or fried chicken, Italian beef sandwiches, salad, vegetables, & dessert; set up at one of the big war-gaming tables. I can think of...

    Yes, you did. But, it is still better then a room full of monkeys. :D Seriously, I will most likely run one or two of the following games: Weapons of the Gods, Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 2ed, Mutants & Masterminds 2ed (way better than 1st), Shadowrun 4th, Super Happy Fun Time Random Adventure...

    Chicago Gameday XII is Nov 12th: Planning Thread

    As the Concentric Convention Company, Inc's Contracted Graphics Design Guru, I second this suggestion. They got a huge response to their booth promotions at Origins and GenCon. With a local con, a semi-local con, and Halloween going on on the same weekend, I think that Oct 29 would be the...

    Chicago Gameday XI a success! Share your war stories.

    Hey Buzz! Did you catch all of Axegrrl's request? I think she was asking for two people for each slot. Kind of like Ninjacat and his his brother last Gameday. Then again, I might just be stupid. :D Either way, It is nice to see my events filling up before the last minute. Thanks everybody!

    I would perfer if the RPGA was not involved with the Gamedays. I know I am not alone in my avoidance of all things RPGA.

    Sorry, my bad. When no one commented on my post, I figured I would go ahead and contact them. I'll just go crawl into a hole and die... ;)

    Chicago Gameday XI is 7/9: Planning thread!

    Hey Buzz, here is my two cents: 1st) I agree that holding off on the sign-up thread until at least 4 weeks ahead of the Gameday would be a good idea. It gives plenty of time for life to interfere with our best-laid plans. 2nd) Here is a list of the local pizza joints. We should at least keep...

    Chicago Gameday XI is 7/9: Planning thread!

    A suggestion would be to contact one of the local pizza joints and see if we can get a group discount. Each group would still order their own pizzas, but pizza joint (hopefully) would give all orders coming from GP a discount. Having worked at a number of pizza joints in the past, I have seen...

    Chicago Gameday XI is 7/9: Planning thread!

    Just so it is clear, the Random Adventure Super Happy Fun Time event is intended to be a somewhat serious event of improv gaming. Sure the plot is going to be shot to heck with weird twists and improbable events, but I'm not really going for total slapstick either. Think 1st ed. AD&D random...
