Boston Game Day on 3/10/12: registration for games is open!

[TheWriterFantastic™]

My game doesn't need much space, all the action resolution is handled through the cards, and we don't need a battlemap either.

Title's been revised after finalizing pre-gens:
"Blue Beetle and His Amazing Friends"
Jaime Reyes -- Blue Beetle (has trouble controlling his alien power armor)
Damian Wayne -- Robin (reformed assassin with a chip on his shoulder)
Jon Kent -- Superboy (rookie telekinetic hero with a mysterious past)
Peter Parker -- Spider-Man (friendly neighborhood wall-crawler)
Bobby Drake -- Iceman (showboat with cold control)
Anjelica Jones -- Firestar (walking popcorn popper/microwave blaster)

BBQ is a goodness!

My game should not need a battlemat. Having a table sufficient for players and GM to visibly set some dice or index card tents should do for my game.

 

[Salad Shooter]

I just checked your games: Night's Black Agents (uses d6s) and Marvel SAGA (uses unique cards). Amusingly, that means you need exactly 1d6. Hell, throw two in your pocket in case you lose one.

Well, that makes it easy. Thanks!

Food:

There's a local pizza place that people can order lunch from, and if the weather is nice I may take a straw poll here and barbecue the day before, then have people who are interested throw me cash in exchange for brisket or pulled pork. Not sure yet. Either way, I'd say you're fine bringing something snacky. Options: drinks, a box of munchkins from Dunkies, baby carrots, big bag of pretzels, etc.

Snacks. I can swing that.

Wait, let's ask right now. If you're interested in throwing in $8 or so to cover smoked brisket or pork, store-bought cornbread, and potato salad, please leave a short post or give XP to someone else's BBQ post in this thread. Assuming the weather behaves, I'll plan quantities accordingly.

I'm always up for tasty, tasty meat...I'm in for that.

 

[FickleGM]

I won't need much room for my game. A place to roll dice is all that's really necessary.

I'm also in for BBQ!

 

[Seonaid]

I would kill for a lick of Piratecat's meat.

 

[Zephrin the Lost]

I just need space for players to roll some dice - many many dice, Cortex is that kind of system. No maps, no minis, it's the theater of the mind!

Although if someone had a scale model of Riverdale I would use that.

I choose to celebrate Piratecat's Meat.

For playing area, I could use some battlemat space to sketch things out, but I don't need a giant surface.

 

[qstor]

when are the PirateCat special BBQ'd ribs being served?

[Piratecat]

My friend Brendan is in for Zephrin's Archie/Leverage game in the afternoon.

 

[TheWriterFantastic™]

If you're volunteering BBQ, I can't say no... Count me in!

This is about right for me as well. There won't be too much in the way of "tactics" for my HEX game since I'll be using the basic "arena system" from Old School Hack to really streamline combat movement.

 

[Piratecat]

Food-wise: Weather should be gorgeous, so on Friday I'll make slow-smoked beef brisket and pulled pork with some store-bought sides. We'll heat it up in the oven for lunch. If people throw $8 at me per person, I should more or less cover costs.

Game-wise: Sadly (it sounds wonderful!) we'll fold the Cthulhu game into other games for Saturday morning. [MENTION=16485]ShadowDenizen[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4919]Nine Hands[/MENTION], I'll slide you into Fickle's Savage Worlds game. He's a joy as a GM. It should be great fun.

 

[John Crichton]

Inside joke for Fick's game:

We'll need to make sure I have a cup of some kind handy. Captain's gotta have his outer monologue!

 

[Ao the Overkitty]

I like BBQ.

 

[ShadowDenizen]

Thanks, Piratecat! Much obliged! (And add me in for yummy BBQ.)

Though I'm somewhat bummed about Cthulhu, I'm pretty go with the flow, and I like Savage Worlds. (And that was probably the game I would have opted for I hadn't
offered to run!)

Myabe we'll roll out the Cthulhu wagon at some other GameDay in the future, see if we get more bites.

 

[Seonaid]

It should be clarified that attendees are in no way obligated to partake of the delicious, delicious BBQ (more for me!). If you don't want it, don't eat it and don't pitch in the $8. There are, as noted above, other options.

 

[John Crichton]

Quick question for Fick, Umbran & Seonaid: You any of you have a preference to play the same character you did last time? Really just curious more than anything else.

The characters will be much more fleshed out than last time if that makes any diff.

 

[Umbran]

JC - I'd be happy to reprise, but it is by no means a requirement. I'm flexible.

Cool beans. Good to know.

Absolutely true.

Current menu seems to be hickory smoked beef brisket, pulled pork sliders, corn bread, chili lime corn, and potato salad. I should have enough for 15 people or so. If that's not to your taste, there's a pizza place nearby.

[MENTION=41134]Nerfwright[/MENTION], have you posted the directions?
