Little help on the schedule?

Hey all. I saw a Call of Cthulhu game on the sked last week, but since then, I hadn't been able to find the new site. I came back today, and saw it wasn't on the schedule anymore? Wasn't it a morning session?

So, to build off of that... does anyone need a game run in the morning session? I'd be willing to run almost anything (d20 Modern, even, if it's out by then).

Re: Little help on the schedule?

A couple of guys (who are lurkers on this board) that I talked to did express some interest in coming, but I don't have a firm commitment yet that they'll post here and sign up. If I can carpool to this thing, too, it increases the liklihood that I'll be there. I'll keep you posted. The guys I talked to actually seemed really interested in trying out the M&M rules as well.

Sorry to be throwing a holding pattern out here!

No problem. I'm just cleaning up the schedule. Basically, in the last couple of weeks before the gameday I try to consolidate the games that do not have enough people signed on. I wish I could do more to help. I hope you can make it.

I have had a change of plans- newly married and all that

I can only make the morning sessions- so I am going to have to bow out of the afternoon "Broke Toothe Clan" game.

Sorry

Congrats!

New marriages need extra care and attention. Don't worry about the games, I'm sure everyone will be glad that you're making it out for at least part of the day.

Welcome to the boards and to the Chicago Gameday thread!

I had to drop the CoC game from the first slot due to a lack of interest. Joshua, as you can see from above, was one of only two players signed on and he isn't even sure he can make it to the Gameday at this point. If there is an influx of several more new players who can all commit to being at the Gameeday, I'd be happy to re-add it to the schedule and will keep you in mind as a potential DM.

By the way, I'm also in the second to last week of making schedule adjustments. This means I am consolidating the second slot schedule this week. Unless there is a huge number of new players jumping into this threaad to sign on, I won't be adding any games (rather, I'll be asking folks to consider moving to other games already on the schedule).

With all of that in mind, are there any games in which you would like to play that are currently on the schedule?

And...

ATTENTION EVERYONE!

Since I am consolidated games, I need everyone else who is running a game in the second slot to chime in here with their thoughts on consolidation so that I have an easier time straightening out the schedule. I also need everyone who will be at the Gameday who hasn't yet signed up for a second slot game to please do so right away. Thanks!

I'll get a firm answer as quickly as I can.

It being a new marriage and all, will he be making out the rest of the day?

Ding Dong! What sort of thoughts are you looking for?

I'm sad to see that the Cthulhu d20 event got "consolidated". Seeing as it's less than two weeks 'till Game Day and Mutants & Masterminds still isn't out, I was hoping to have Cthulhu as a backup.

Is the backup plan that we get merged into the Star Wars game (since it has slots open)? Or will we switch to SAS or something?

I ask becasue I'm not really a SW fan.

heh heh I do not think I have ever been asked to slot an event of that nature, nor seen one on a schedule for a convention, mini-con, or gameday. Still, there's a first time for everythin, I guess.

Hmmm... I suppose I should have directed that question more specifcally. I was wondering what the people in the under-manned games would like to do in case we do not have enough people sign up for those selections. These people currently include: Scott814thmpco, pat_b, FCWesel, thalmin, Synicism.

I may be mistaken but I think Sebastien has the intention of using another Supers system if M&M is not available in time. Nonetheless, if Joshua can commit to coming and we have at least a few people wishing to sign on for a CoC game, it can always make its way back on the schedule.

Characters for GHOST TOWER

William Ronald, Baron Von StarBlade, CTD, Painfully, and EricNoah:

Sorry I haven't gotten back to you in the past week about character selection. Let's take care of that this week.

Wulf will be playing Shubba (who is a shaman/barbarian, if I remember correctly), his own character, so I present to you a choice. You can choose one of the following pregenerated characters:

Fighter, Monk, Wizard, Cleric, Rogue (nothing unique there)

... or, if you have a hankering to play something of your own creation, let me know what you want to roll up. Wulf's character is on a 32 point buy with normal treasure, so we'll use that as a basis.

Please let me know your choices over the next couple of days, preferably on this thread so everyone can be in the loop.

Less than two weeks away! Yay!

Re: Characters for GHOST TOWER

I'll take dibs on the Monk.

 

[Painfully]

Eridanis: what level characters? 5th?

I'm a sucker for darkvision, so if you've got a dwarf cleric, that will work for me.

Mark:

I'll still bring along my Call of Cthulhu adventure and supplies in case there are a lot of walk-ins who need a game. After all, it's a damn shame when a Game Day's got no Cthulhu!

Later,
Matt
