It's been ages! The next Boston gameday will be at my house in lovely, bucolic (and T-accessible!) Newton MA, on Saturday March 15th. Note that this is also the date of the Washington DC gameday. If you're tempted by Boston but were already planning to go to DC, you should go -- we'll do another one this summer, and they reserved the date first. 
We need GMs and players! If you'd like to GM, please post in the thread. I'll need to know morning or afternoon slot, and what your table size requirements are. I'll also want the game blurb and a max game size.
Note that what usually happens is a lot of GMs, and not enough players. This generally corrects itself. As we get closer, we'll start combining games as needed.

Living room: FULL "Keep Your Friends Close..." - Mutants and Masterminds, by Piratecat. A Golden Age adventure! [bq]The Liberty Guild is America's most-beloved superhero team, and with good reason! From power-hungry dictators to costumed ne'er-do-wells, the Liberty Guild has beaten America's foes with enough spare time to still make it home for dinner on Friday night. But now... things have changed. In a time of mourning, a mysterious foe is breaking their arch-enemies out of prison and banding them together. Can the Liberty Guild face their most dangerous foe of all?

Library: FULL Castle Zagyg: The Mouths of Madness by Ghul (Jeff Talanian, Gary Gygax's co-author of Castle Zagyg), using Castles & Crusades[bq]The cursed fog that has long enshrouded Castle Zagyg at last dissipates!
In days of yore Castle Zagyg was a place synonymous with adventure, mystery, and intrigue. Many sought to plumb its untold depths, to explore its fabled dungeons and realms unseen. Some seekers returned with vast treasure and impossible tales, others vanished with hardly a trace. At length a fog came to the Eastmark’s most nefarious landmark, swallowing the legendary castle and rendering its many and sundry dungeons unattainable. Even the most potent of spellbinders failed to penetrate the dread fog. Years passed and the lair of the Mad Archmage was shunned. But now, as inexplicably as it arrived, the fog dissipates in nearly imperceptible degrees. At the base of the bluff on which the castle ruins lie, yawning caves materialize from the gloom. Do these so-called Mouths of Madness provide ingress to the fabled dungeons below Castle Zagyg? Many seekers would know . . . .
The call for adventure issues anew!
The Little Hillwood lies a day’s ride north of the Free Town of Yggsburgh, a rolling woodland attendant with bandits, goblins, howling ape-men, and other fell folk. These malign beings have rallied in the deeps of Castle Zagyg's surrounding wilderness, no doubt attracted by the vortex of madness inspired by the Mad Archmage. There is but one-way to cross these hoary wilds fraught with peril: one must traverse the Old Castle Track. At path’s conclusion lie the fabled ruins engulfed by an eldritch fog, yet the caves below beckon, where bugbear, goblin, gnoll, and orc dwell -- and not a few monstrous inhabitants as well -- such as a prowling werewolf, a sly hill giant, a deranged owlbear, bizarre fungi, and deadly blobs that drink flesh from bone! Will your party be among the first to explore this first glimpse of the newly revealed Castle Zagyg?[/bq]7 players. Rules will be taught.

Library: FULL D20 Future - “Worlds Apart”, by Silver Moon[bq]An indestructible device exists on the planet Oxnard, fourth planet in the Rhynarr solar system. Once every eight days this object taps into an alternate dimension and transports a humanoid individual to this world. Nobody knows exactly how the device works, who built it, or what it’s original purpose was. However the ‘Worlds Apart Intergalactic Employment Agency’ is now capitalizing upon the object’s existence by finding employment for whoever the device delivers. They are currently staffing a crew for an intergalactic spaceship.

Like an eighth voyage of Sinbad, we will seek the fabled City of Brass. Though the jackals howl in the stark dunes, our names will be covered in glory. Or our corpses in dust.
D&D 3.5 (last gasp!) Using elements from Six Arabian Nights from Open Design and Necromancer Game's City of Brass.
If anyone wants something in specific, they are welcome to write it up themselves. Good characters obviously. Don't go crazy with tons of splat books that I don't have. There will be one dervish character, probably a rogue with a couple cool feats out of Six Arabian Nights.[/bq]1. Qualidar
