Boston Gameday - Sat, March 15th (FULL!)

[Piratecat]

Want to play anything in the other slot, Ben? I saw the Classic D&D and thought of you.

Want to play anything in the other slot, Ben? I saw the Classic D&D and thought of you.

I'm married now, I am only allowed to allocate half a day of my own time without prior approval.

The rest of the time, she owns my ass.

 

[Piratecat]

Well, we'll miss you. Glad you'll be there in the afternoon, though.

 

[skinnydwarf]

Hey all. I had a blast the last time I went to one of these, so sign me up!

[Zephrin the Lost]

Fear not, Anti-Sean has decided to go with the Futurama Universe instead! Given that Maverick Weirdo has decided to go with the Mel Brooks Universe for his character I'd say that there might be a fair level of humor in this particular game.

And Zepherin has confirmed that he'll be using the Harry Harrison Universe.

I must say, I'm surprised that three Universes have been tapped and still nobody has drawn from Battlestar Galactica, Firefly, Star Trek or Star Wars.

know who would make a great Futurama PC? Al Gore. He's a 12th level vice-president.

There's also the Simpsons to draw from: Kang, or his sister, Kodos.

[Piratecat]

4 player slots left in the morning, 1 in the afternoon. Yttrai, note that you're an afternoon alternate but don't have a primary game reserved as well. Holler if that should change.

 

[replicant2]

Only a handful of slots left. If you want the space, sign up now!

I'm out, which is a good and a bad thing. Bad because I'm missing the game day (and I am truly bummed at having to miss a game of classic D&D), but good because I remembered that I'm off on an overnight trip to New Jersey to see Iron Maiden.

 

[Eridanis]

Hooray! I only wish Player 2 could come as well.

We talked about it, but it really wouldn't be fair to the kids, and she felt strongly that I should go. (Reason #43,294 why I'm grateful I married such a wonderful woman!) I'll just have to encourage her to go to the next one on her own to make up for it.

 

[Brother MacLaren]

You'll have to take me out, I'm afraid. I was looking forward to the B/X game, and to playing either Vir Cotto or The Terminator in the d20 Future game.

But MarauderX has scheduled the grand finale of his campaign for the DC EnWorld Game Day, and I just have to make it back down for that.

 

[Silver Moon]

Since every party needs a 'cleric,' I think I need to play Dr. McCoy so that Star Trek is spoken for.

Excellent! My wife and I ran a Star Trek Live Action Role Play with some friends around a decade or so ago. Set on DS9 between "Generations" and "First Contact", it had three-dozen players portraying characters from Classic Trek, Next Generation, Deep Space Nine and Voyager. The part of the ancient version of Bones McCoy was played by Piratecat, who gave the best closing speech that I have ever heard.


One interesting oddity to D20 Future is that it doesn't have a physician character class - the assumption being that Medical men are ether cyborg-making cyber-Surgeons (Technosavant class) or alien-life-form specialists (Xenophile class) - both of which are Smart Hero base. Bones McCoy could possibly work as a Xenophile, but you might consider him more of a Dedicated Hero, where the Explorer Class might work but still isn't a perfect fit. If you want, as an alternative, you could use the Field Medic advanced class from D20 Modern.


Umbran, please indicate what Sci-Fi/Fantasy universe you would wish to draw from.
