Chicago EN World Game Day: The Aftermath! :)

[MattyHelms]

Oh Matt, since I have your attention, did you get my pm to you at the cmg boards?
I have some door prizes from Reaper for you if you wish.

I have now

Okay, got some ideas for my morning game. Bear with me as I free-associate:

Stuff I'd like to run:

* First of all, I noticed there are no Star Wars or Call of Cthulhu games on schedule, which have been popular choices at past Games Days. Are people tired of them? If not, either of those could be fun. Has anyone ever run a Delta Green CoC scenario at a Games Day? I'd probably want a Call of Cthulhu game to be a four-player deal, though. I have trouble running CoC with big groups.

* I've had an itch to run Exalted recently (what with the recent release of the Sidereals book) but that's not a game that's easy to teach in 4 hours as a one-shot.

* Feng Shui is a good one-shot type game, and I know it's been run at Games Days in the past to great effect. I'm up for this too.

* Mutants & Masterminds: I finally got a chance to test-drive this system last month and it was a lot of fun.

People love Cthulhu; in fact, some of us are waiting, hoping a CoC game shows up so we can sign up for that.

I think a Coc/Delta Green game sounds great!

Actually, those all sound great. I understand about Little Fears--I finally got to play it at GenCon this year.

How about a 7th Sea game?

Sign me up for the slot 1, game 1, d20 modern event!

Here's the synopsis for my morning event.

"Twenty Years Later..."
Call of Cthulhu d20/Delta Green

In 1983, the PCs are investigating a series of murders in and around a military base. In 2003, the PCs are twenty years older (but not necessarily wiser), and the murders are happening again. Can they solve the murders in the present day while dealing with the maddening gaps in their memory about the truth behind the 1983 murders?

Yes, this story will be told in two time periods, with the characters at two different experience levels. We'll be bouncing back and forth between the two. PLEASE NOTE: This game will only have four player slots.

Sounds great!

MattyHelms, please sign me up for this game. Thanks!

MattyHelms, please sign me up for this game. Thanks!

Thanks! By the way, this game is all pre-gens. In fact, you'll get two completely different versions of your character; one in 1983 (at a lower level) and one in 2003. By the way, I am using the d20 CoC rules by and large as they appear in the book but with one important house-rule: hit points are always equal to Constitution (unless you take a hp-adding feat). There are no ascending hit points as you go up in levels. I have a problem with 20th-level Professor Farthingbottom being able to take an RPG blast to the chest and possibly survive. That's fine for d20 Modern which is a heroic game, but hey, this is Call of Cthulhu! Death and insanity are par for the course.

Especially the way Barendd Nobeard plays...

Are the characters for the dark matter game pre-gen or do we need to make them?
