Central Mass. Gameday, Tomorrow, Who wants to game with piratecat?

[MavrickWeirdo]

I have been considering holding a gameday in Worcester, Ma. Sometime in late september, or early October.

I have plenty of parking, and live close to the worcester train station. I could fit 3 or possibly 4 games at one time. We have 2 cats and 0 smokers.

So any takers?

Post this in the general forum. Usually the Game Day threads start in there. You'll get a lot more responses there.

Tecnically that is not true, because I did post this in the general forum (also) and I got zero responses.

While in this forum I got 1 response (yours). :\

Whadja have in mind? I run three games that take most of my time, so a game day may or may not be of interest.

I play rpgs (D&D 3.0/3.5; Starship Troopers, Oriental Adventures, Call of Cthulhu D20...)..

A gameday is people getting together to play 1-shot's, with people they don't normally play with, usually of game systems they don't normally play. (It could be a chance to find some new "recruits" for Starship Troopers.)

I would probably have 2 time slots (11am to 3pm; 4pm to 8 pm) with three (or possibly 4) rooms to play gams.

Are you serious?! When did you post it? I must have completely missed it. The couple of Boston EN World game days I've been have been wildly successful and a blast. The only thing I can think of is that scheduling something in the summer might be a little more difficult for some people (plus GenCon is coming up).

Try posting again, seriously. I've actually been hoping for another game day in the area to pop up.

Gave you a little bump.

Well, also note that Worcester area has been difficult to recruit gamers. I've had a game running for two years -- one of my players is from Newton, one from Haverhill. The third is from Auburn. We haven't had much success since.

True

But a campaign is a long term comitment, a gameday is a 1 day get-together.

Recruiting strangers, online, to play a new or different game system can be challenging.

A gameday could give people a chance to meet you, play with you, try someting different. Then if they have fun, then they are "might" make the effort to join a group.
