Albany Game Day II: Fun was had by all. Now with pictures.

Hi everyone,

I am not able to make it to the Albany gaming day, but normally would think of it since I live in Southern Vermont.

A couple of items that might be usefull to the discussion.

I believe that I recently recieved a postcard about Council of Five Nations, so it still appears to be going. My biggest complaint when I attended was the concentration of wargamers. I went as a GM to run 2 RPG events and had ZERO Players. I have nothing against wargaming (I play several different Wargames), but there seemed to be a distinct lack of RPG Players.

I have not gone back since....

Also, for perople interested in RPG events check out http://www.carnagecon.com/

This is run by a group of my friends and has been going on for several years now. In fact when the convention first started, and I had more time, I was one of the people who coordinated the RPG area. The resort that they are at is nice, and there are usually games for everyone. There is still a big RPGA presence, but there are still many DM's who run non-RPGA events. In fact I will be running 2 slots of a conversion of the Tomb of Horrors to 3.5

Sorry if anyone thinks this is a hijack, but I thought this was an appropriate thread to mention this since the posters are all from the Albany/Troy area.

Have Fun on your Game day, and if anyone wants more info (from a GM/Player perspective) on Carnage give me a yell.

Hey Spectre,

No problem at all. I started doing the Albany Game day because I though we needed more cons in the area. I'll have to look at my schedule for november.
 



Like I said, I don't know if it will happen or not. I've had my hopes up before about games. It is a potential vampire game. Right now it is about 50/50 since I don't know the guy and I don't know if he's in the loop or not.
 

I have just heard from James. The Word of Darkness game is a go.
It will be either Vampire or Werewolf. Old or new system.

I'm going to work on organizing the games into slots and sign ups will start Monday the 23rd.

So far we have:
All Flesh Must Be Eaten run by AO
D&D Planescape "Anarchist's Anarchist" run by Me
D&D "Reliving the Good Old Days." run by AO
OGL Lonewolf run by Scholar
D&D game run by Kevin (last year he ran Slaughter House)
Word of Darkness
