Hm... Ghosts of Albion looks interesting... I do loves me some Amber Benson, although I'm not familiar with this setting. I'm not sure about Unisystem, though, I can't remember if I've heard more good things or more meh things about it.
Anybody who knows my gaming tastes, what do you think, would I dig it?

For lack of a better set of descriptors, think of it as Steampunk Buffy... but with a stronger emphasis on the scoobies than on the kung fu (IMNSHO). Not that there's not any badassery. Since Tim's going with the d10 (as opposed to the 2d6 "Chicago Way"), the success/fail spectrum is very clear and very quick to estimate. Looking at Tim's blog is a good way to see where he's coming from as a gamer.
I'd say give it a shot. It's pleasantly light fun.

Mine are still a go. Three or more is plenty for G&G and I only need one and myself to play Surcoat, so afs and I will square off for that fine enough. Of course, the opens seats are there for others to join, including walk-ups, so we'll see what happens between now and Saturday.

Are you kidding? With the lineup for that game? Heck no.

I will bump the thread over on the Paizo boards and contact COWSGamers. Can someone contact some of the local meet up groups?

As usual, I forget about breakfast. Buzz, please let me have a seat for some coffee and grub. Oh, and conversation and whatnot. I suppose I'll actually talk this time.
EDIT: I already spread the word to the DeKalb Roleplayers Meetup! At least one other member is already attending.

So, crazy idea. I'm not at all opposed to more people joining, but I think there's potential in having only two players. Lots of players can be a crazy action free for all a la the Expendables, but two could be a BUDDY COP MOVIE. Nothing says 80's louder than that. I don't know just what you have in mind for what we'll be doing story-wise, but if it fits at all, I don't think that potential should be ignored.

Hey All!
Tim Brannan here, author of Ghosts of Albion and GM for Blight on Game Day.
If anyone has any questions about the game, Ghosts of Albion or Cinematic Unisystem I'll be happy to answer them.
The setting for Ghosts is the early Victorian age (1839 in particular), while Blight takes place in 1847. There is quite a bit of magic thrown around and characters can play magicians, ghosts, vampires, fae or other other-worldly creatures. Of course there is plenty of room for regular humans too.
I have run Blight a few times at Gen Con and it has always been a great time.
Thanks!
Tim

Thanks, William!
I have Gameday 31 listed on the RPGChicago and SW-Suburbs meetup.com groups. I contacted The Chicago area Dungeons & Dragons / RPG Meetup Group, but have not gotten any response from them.
If anyone is a member of other meetup.com groups, by all means, let them know about Gameday 31.
I've also been promoting Gameday 31 on G+, Twitter, RPGGeek.com, RPG.net, PenAndPaperGames.com, Story-Games.com, and the WotC boards.

And now, a message for our GMs:
If you are considering canceling your event due to few or no player sign-ups, please try to let me know by 7pm Friday, and also tell me the event in which you'd like to play instead.
Otherwise, please come to Gameday 31 prepared to run your event for any walk-ins or emergency cancelations. Please keep in mind that you may still end up playing in an event instead of running yours. It sucks, but it happens!
Thanks!

I guess you can add Laurie and me to breakfast. We usually crash the party anyway.
