Piratecat
Sesquipedalian
It's time. Ohhhh, yes! Time for the 5th (or so) Boston game day, held at lovely T-accessable Chez Piratecat in Newton, MA. Come meet other local gamers and roleplay like crazy!
Time and date: Saturday, November 15th. Slot 1 runs 10am-2pm, Slot 2 runs 3pm-7pm.
Location: Piratecat's house (directions by email.) We can fit up to four games simultaneously, which means up to eight total games and 28 people. Depends on how many people sign up, really.
Games: Volunteer to run stuff, and volunteer to play! I'll update game selections (and the people running them) in this post, first come, first served. Or something. Make sure you specify which slots you'll be there for, and which slots you'd like to judge.
Food: Let me know if you want to show up early for breakfast. I figured we'd do 9am bagels, coffee and socializing at the house! People can throw some cash into a donation jar or bring food to share; this is probably easier and less expensive than us all trying to fit into a restaurant.
We can send out for pizza, or separate and return for lunch. There are lots of restaurants nearby.
So, who wants to come?
NOTES: Slots might move around, and games might change. Don't worry about it too much. We can also add one more game in the morning slot; Chronosome has dibs! If he can't, I'll open it up. NO GAME KNOWLEDGE IS NECESSARY; RELEVANT RULES WILL BE TAUGHT. ALL CHARACTERS WILL BE PROVIDED.
BREAKFAST
We use the d20 system for determining who eats first. Arena battle for bagels!

In the bowels of the jail, they've kept you locked in place. No more! A D&D game where you can show off your more... feral... side.

Grim Tales - Wulf Ratbane
Bad Axe Games' new grim setting, using the d20 Modern ruleset and a whole lot of grit. Right now, it's looking like a Fallout-style game of post-apocalyptic goodness: guns, back-alley cyber-docs, radiation, mutants, splattering your foes into a blood red mist... And the PIP-boy.

Not d20, but one of my favorite games if you excel in witty verbal repartee and like to insult other people with big words. Trust me, it's fantastic.

Spaceship Zero - Piratecat
This is my favorite new game. This Green Ronin non-d20 game won an ENnie this year, and it deserved to! Jump into a 1950's outer space radio serial, sort of like Lost in Space meets Dr Who meets Red Dwarf. For a wonderful example, read Capellan's Q-Ship.

AFTERNOON
Omega World - Urban Renewal - Gospog
Four nights ago, there were mysterious lights in the sky, far away. Three nights ago, a massive robot city sprang to life and built right over a village twenty miles to the west, killing its inhabitants. Two nights ago, the growing city built right over a village fifteen miles to the west, killing its inhabitants. Last night, the robot city crushed a city ten miles to the west of your village, and it's still growing. Even the members of your village without fingers can do this math. That's why you're going to the robot city today. You're going to stop its progress and save the village! It's a long way to the city, but on the other hand, it's constantly getting closer... As seen in past Omega World games, this is light-hearted and fun post-apocalyptic role-playing!

Full bore action, speeding cars and spinning back kicks! This is the game of Hong Kong action movie mayhem, where your actions have to be cool and cinematic for you to survive. See an incredible example here.
