Wow! 23 people, three games, and a tremendous amount of fun. I'll close the sign-up thread; stories and comments go here.

Thanks, guys! I'll get pictures developed in the next few days. Apparently, all three games went wonderfully, with mayhem aplenty and fun for all. There was Wulf Ratbane's d20 Modern "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" game, Umbran's Godlike game, and Dr. Midnight's fantastic Feng Shui game.

Ahhh. I always sleep better after I successfully leap onto a moving bullet train. :D

This was SO MUCH FUN. I'd write more, but I'm freakin' tired. Tomorrow for details. Tonight for recovery from Piratecat leaping onto moving bullet train.

My very sincere thanks to Kevin & Peg for hosting, and to everyone for showing up... because damn, I'm on RPG ecstasy.

Who sez violence doesn't solve your problems?

At a certain point, the only solution may be to kill as many of the witnesses as you can reach and hope the survivors don't remember what you look like. We're all so fired...

In other news. the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen game ROCKED! Atlantean supertechnology, crystalline monsters from the 4th dimension, intelligences "vast, cool and unsympathetic", exploding trains going over burning trestles, and lots and lots of dead people who "technically" weren't the enemy. (Sorry, Colonel.) Thanks, Wulf! And thank YOU, PC, for hosting a stellar event! May your beard grow ever longer!
 

I don't know where to begin, first you can all rest easy knowing Jenn and I made it back safely to Connecticut anfter an hour or so of regaling each other with tales of heroism and derring do (and a little bit of derring don't as well), and then two hours of Jenn napping while I caught up on footbal and Colleg B-ball on the radio. P-kitty and KidCthulu thank you for inviting us into your palatial estate, Doc Midnite, that was the most fun one-off I've ever played in and I've played Stupor Powers with the guy that wrote it.... Though I have to confess that playing "Kobolds Ate My Baby" with the 9th level guys came close. In the days and weeks to come you will all no doubt come to hear of the evening's adventures, and the legends will grow, but this one had it all, I will give you three of my favorite quotes from the evening...

"I'm going to cut you like I spit on your dog."

"C'mon Willie, let's go check out the traffic."

"I have no time to bandy about cutlery with you."

Imagine a movie in which:

A Mercedes sedan gets driven through a bank and out a stain glass window.... followed by a Maserati, and it's NOT a chase scene....

The villain escapes capture by riding a runaway ferris wheel out to the parking lot of an amusement park....

One of the heroes is a psychotic Australian kidnapper, who also happens to be an ordained minister...and is NOT the comic relief character....

The star of the movie is a mildly famous chef who is known for dressing up in rubber monster suits and cooking hot dogs with a small torch built into the mouth of the suit, who is pursuing the affections of a ridiculously dangerous femme fatale whose grandmother is so deeply involved in Hong Kong organized crime that she laughs at Yakuza assassins as being weak and digitally challenged...

Some of the most spectacular stunts are done by a bumbling scientist with a penchant for a morbidly obese Giant Panda and hypochondria....

The main villain is killed by the combination of Joel Grey (as Chiun in "Remo Williams") and Chow Yun Fat (A Better Tomorrow) and the wrecked roof of a bullet train grinding across the ... well... read the inevitable story hour posting to find out what exactly happened with that bullet train..... I hope they were insured...


Again, I can't thank you all enough, that was great and it was great meeting you in person, now if I can just remember who each of you are in here.....

Yes! Good stuff!

Just want to add my thanks to Pirate Cat and Kid Cthullhu. You two are always great hosts!

Thanks to Doc M for the game and the styrofoam!

It was a blast meeting a lot of cool new people and seeing a few familiar faces.

So from both Fluffaderm and myself...thanks!

Boston EN World Game V

Top Ten lines from Umbram's "Godlike" game:

#10 - When the GM asks a player to roll multiple dice and let him know if any match: "Well, I don't have any pairs, but I almost have a straight."

#9 - As the characters' truck is going off the road, and the GM says he has to check the rules for the part on "Car Wrecks and Other Crashes", and a player replies: "They have a whole section on that? We're screwed!"

#8 - When the devoutly religious female PC, with god-inspired powers of flight, agrees to carry a male soldier up into the air to scout around "Hang on to me, but please be gentle and respectful."

#7 - After the GM announces that "The people in the second truck see your first truck careen off the road and land on its side,": "So what. We're used to that by now."

#6 - After the party has just defeated two squadrons of Nazis, and the GM says: "You did well with that. The only problem you have now is the Nazi tank coming down the road at you", and two players reply simultaneously, (each in the Homer Simpson voice): "Doh".

#5 - As the party's next truck is destroyed by Nazi gunfire, and the player with super strength decides to pick it up and throw it at the Nazis: "This game is great, but I've reached the conclusion that we're really tough on vehicles."

# 4 - When the female character, attired in a military uniform, is flying towards a tower to disarm a Nazi sniper: "This doesn't fell right. I need a cape."

#3 - After two vehicles and a Nazi bunker have been transformed to glass and then destroyed by hand grenades, and the hero still in the remaining truck decides to fire his rifle from there states "I'm using the stock of my rifle to break the window to then fire from,": "Good, because we don't have enough broken glass around here already!"

#2 - During the interrogation of a Nazi prisoner, when a player wanting to know if the prisoner might have super powers tells the translator "Ask him if he is an Uber Kraut!" and the translator replies: "You want to know if he has a super sausage?"

# 1 - From the player of the Belgium Captain leading the party, after he is ejected from the crashing truck and lands unconscious and face-down in the snow: "When I said I loved Belgium soil I didn't mean this."
