The Terrapin Gaming Club of the University of Maryland would like to announce TerpCon Spring 2007. By my count, we're up to number 6. We're on for April 21st, 2007 in the Colony Ballroom of the Stamp Student Union at the University of Maryland, College Park. Current Status: Player...

So... any news on this? It doesn't look like it's available yet, but I can't really tell. Andrew Beard

Some are more ballanced than others. Things like being overly round, polishing, and even composition (multicolored swirl dice especially) can put dice a bit off ballance. Personally, I'm a big fan of the Gamescience dice, which are some of the most consistant dice I've ever seen. In contrast...

I actually went to two gaming stores on Saturday looking for some Hackmaster material and both of them seemed pretty well stocked. Andrew Beard

I think you're refering to Liberty Comics (formerly Closet of Comics), directly accross the street from Noodles and Chipotle. I really wouldn't consider them as a source for gaming stuff beyond D&D Minis and an emergency source for dice; your average Waldenbooks had about 4x the selection...

You weren't kidding about the soon part: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=rpga/news/20061031a Andrew Beard

Dan forgot to flip a couple bits in the settings page, but it should be taken care of now. Let me know if you're still having problems. As for the disappearing games, the Savage Worlds game was canceled by the DM. As far as I know there were always two Xendrik games schedules, one in slot 1...

Just to make sure everyone's on the same page, Iain is planning on running AD&D 1st ED and not Spycraft 2.0 (Iain != Ian from Warhorn), and Dan was the one posting that character creation at the table isn't a good idea. I would suggest having pregens available at the very least, for those...

Nope, that's about it. Your game is up on the schedule, and once player signups go live you'll be able to see who's playing. Have you managed to play (or run) a Xen'drik game in the area before? We had a fairly active group doing Mark of Heroes last year up until the TerpCon Spring 2006...

There have been a number of settings that I've been very excited about as a DM (Dragonlance, Planescape, etc), but for some reason Eberron has been one of the few that my players picked up on as well. In a way it's a lot more "aproachable" from a player's standpoint. Of course, I still have...

I'm sure it'll be possibly, but the conversion looks like it'll be a lot more complex than OCR->RCR. Removing about half the base classes, changing the dark side point system, and entirely rewriting the force power system is pretty major, in my option. Andrew Beard

It's not a bad idea, it's just led to issues in the past I care not to repeat. Unfortunatly the thread from last simester seems to have been nuked (something about a server crash?) but I end up posting a number of WTF emails in an effort to figure out what was going on. It took a few days, but...

I'm not going to get into the pissing match I fear this thread is starting to become, but I will respond to this point. Yes, there was a situation with the game you attempted to join. I asked for clarification on what the GM wanted me to do, and didn't get anything back. When he posted saying...

It's a... different game. I've been looking into getting a local Hackmaster game off the ground lately. I think everyone's alse descriptions have been pretty spot-on so far; it's a very rules-dense game that's definitly playable, but has a pretty steep learning curve. Our group like a very...

I'm sorry, but "Tiny Dancer" just didn't didn't have the ring to it I was looking for. :) Thanks to everybody for coming, and again thanks to everyone who ran games (especially the Spycraft session, it was a blast). I hope everyone enjoyed themselves; I know I did. Andrew Beard...

Walking from the metro head out on Paint Branch toward the parking garage and the metrorail/road overpass. Keep going on that guy, and you'll be on the UMD campus immediatly after you cross Route 1 (Baltimore Ave). To get to the union, keep walking up Paint Branch (or really, the road Paint...

The Union does have wireless access, but it uses a VLAN system to restrict access to university student and staff. Andrew Beard terpcon@gmail.com

FYI, the TerpCon site has been updated with some minimal transportation information. The jist is that lots 1 and Z are available for free parking on Saturday. They're both pretty close to the Union, less than a five minute walk. There's a pay lot a little bit closer, but I need to double...

Just as a reminder, we could use more players if you know anyone who many be interested in attending but doesn't know about TerpCon. If anyone is planning on attending but hasn't bother registering I urge you to, if for no other reason so we can gauge attendence. We've got a lot of sparse...
