Chicago Gameday 31 is 3/17: SIGN UP TO PLAY!

[ekb]

(don't worry, Laurie, you'll get a third person one way or another...besides there being over a week of signups left [and a pm event with no players so far], Dread is also crazy popular, so a walk-in sign up isn't impossible either. Maybe walk-ins will fill the rest of the event!)

It will need to be walk-ins, as me & playing Dread don't mix very well...

Just got this via FB on my rather Shakespearean post for the GM sign-up...

Greg Stolze: I realize I've been remiss in setting this up, but how about a brand new game with never-before tested mechanics at 1:00? It's HORIZON and I can probably seat 4-5 players.

If'n I continue to have no one wanting to play Microscope, can we make room for him to use my slot?

{If so, then dibs on me playing in that event...}

Well, that is your choice, but would there be a problem scheduling something at 1 PM, due to other games and the lunch/dinner break? (Hmm, as the 2:30 break combines lunch and dinner, would it be best be called linner?)

As it is Saturday and there is a custom of later service hours for the weekend, it's still lunch (I can find backing for this in Escoffier and Larousse Gastronomique, but I'll refrain from that flavor of rules lawyering as I'm too f'ng lazy/tired/not bored enough to find the quotes in question at the moment). Various regions call the midday meal "dinner," so that's also a correct term for the meal.

Back to real content: passed on the time issue to Greg. Let's see if he notices that his Folger's Crystals have been replaced with something else?

Well, if the table space is available, I say the more games, the merrier.

In the interim, let's get the word out on the Gameday. I just posted a thread over at Paizo's boards. Maybe this might help fill up a few more games.

Anyone nervous about the HiBRiD system...it is more about action than rules...think d20 mixed with FUDGE...d20+1 mod...no limit to the number of actions in a round...a little bit of V: The Series mixed with ass kickin' from the 80s..what is NOT to love?

Theme music that helps you succeed in task rolls? Check out Dillon "Action" Creed...No Problem....


Want a roundhouse kick as powerful as a shotgun? Play Scott "Lone Wolf" Braddock...no problem

Want to jump around like John Carter...The Ninja can do that....2 kilometer jump? With a little help from your team mates...no proooobbbllleeemmmm!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You wanna be a hero of cinematic proportions....come and run the gauntlet...and bring your d20!!1

It's not his choice.

I don't mean to come off too strong, but I put a lot of effort into planning Gameday. If someone wants to offer an event or cancel an event, they need to contact me.

Keith, if you want to cancel your event, please let me know. I actually have someone else who has contacted me with interest in running something, but who missed out on the original planning process. Naturally, I told them we we full and informed them about how planning usually works, but if you are canceling, then he sort of has dibs.

IF it turns out that we can add Greg's event AND Greg is able to run it in your 2:30 time slot, we can work something out. We are not adding any events at 1pm. 8 is also the maximum number of tables we can occupy at GP.

Keith, please let me know what you want to do.

Okay, then... Table A in PM slot goes to Buzz's Dibs Cat, as Microscope gets no love from y'all.

See, even less drama than the no-drama that this is. It's, like, anti-drama, even.

There's no drama; there are simply channels through which event requests need to be made in order to avoid confusion. If there were no system for Gameday's organization, then we'd have chaos; dogs, cats, mass hysteria, etc.

ekb, I've removed your event from the roster. I am contacting the person I was talking about above; we'll see how things turn out.

Hey now...Ghostbusters is my thing. Back off, man. I'm a scientist.
