hi, thanks for adding me to the game. I'll take Voltaire, unless there's a way to add another female character? In which case, I'll take whatever you'll give me. 
thank you!
thank you!Tofu_Master

Hi Buzz,
John & I just received an invitation for my friends' Surprise 40th birthday party. I look so forward to GameDay, but they're both close friends and I wouldn't miss being there for them for the world. (((sigh))) I'm afraid I'm gonna have to cancel my Afternoon Game 8: The Wreck of the Grinning Jenny. I appreciate it.
Regrets,
Natalie

This means that Dungeon World now has an open seat, and is no longer full.

Update: Big Trouble in Little Canyonside: Snakes on a Plane/Timecop Redux Pregens
Hey All:
Yes there are still 6 slots left...no one up to the challenge?
If any of you are concerned as to learning a new system, don't be. If you know d20/True 20/dungeons and dragons, than you already know the basic dice mechanics. Talk about an easy character to learn fast, check out this character sheet here:

For those who haven't played, the REAL fun begins when you use Ite'...what is Ite', you ask? It is the stuff of heroes! The stuff that makes things happen! The stuff that saves your bacon when the die rolls just don't seem to be going your way! It is sanctioned cheating!
You wanna get crazy, this is the game you want to play!!!
As for the rating, there are two versions of the more risque' characters, so if we need to kick the rating down to family, not a problem.. just bring a d20 and a desire to go big!!!

I think part of your lack of sign ups is that the name of your RPG is almost identical to Hybrid, an infamous RPG created several years ago that is rated the second worst RPG to EVER be created.
Several people, myself included, saw the name of your RPG and just assumed you were using a game system man was not meant to play and avoided it.

I'm stunned that blog is still regularly updated. That's what I call commitment!
For the record, I never assumed that hujraadjohaansen's HiBRiD was the same game, though the spelling had me second guessing myself for a moment.
Nonetheless, there are all kinds of reasons that events don't fill up. Sometimes it's because the system isn't well-known, sometimes it's the premise of the event, and sometimes it's just the alignment of the stars.
If we don't see more signups for your events, I would suggest that Redizilla, hujraadjohaansen, and pvt. patterson jump into willowx's Savage Worlds event.
We can re-assess early next week.

Am I suffering from deja vu?
Or is this the same discussion from last day over HiBRiD/Hybrid? The people at the table last time looked like they had a blast, unless this is deja vu, then I guess its people that will have fun at the next game day....I'm confused.
And do I even care since I'm just taking a breather in our room during our wonderful Dells vacation?
See y'all in a week and a half!

A LOT of Thanks
Hey all-
I just wanted to thank you for the support. I remember being so annoyed when I saw someone else had used the word Hybrid to name their game. I became frustrated when I actually read it and realized it just schizophrenic ramblings rather than a real game system. I would have renamed it, but I have been running it at GenCon since 2000 and the people that return to play actually look for the words HiBRiD or Canyonside when registering...sigh...Gotta get that logo done...
Also, thanks for mentioning the blog. I stopped posting on facebook mostly when they started their Timeline format. I pretty much feed my blog posts (and tweets to some extent) to it and just use the site for distributing materials at con time. The blog allows me to more easily control and deliver game development info and share what I consider the Spirit of HiBRiD outside of the game rules. I try to post to it every day I get inspired or get a portion of the game book done.
Finally, thank you for noticing that people had a good time at game day 31; it is a very free-form game, and once players see what the game lets them do, they definitely get into it! I often find myself explaining to new players, that in HiBRiD, you NEVER ask "Can I do this", you ask "How many points of Ie' or what will it TAKE to do this". I'm at the point at the con now where I have enough return players where I can fill 4-6 events with 12 players each, so there must be SOMETHING they like.
See you all at the table!!
Oh, also, just for the record, I will not be canceling the event unless I am at 0 players 15 minutes past go-time...too much work went into the new character sheets! It is not in the spirit of HIBRiD to quit, regardless of the number of mooks or the power level of the bad guys....HiBRiD players don't quit, they MAKE it happen!!!

I'm sure I'll regret this when I have to be on the road at 7am, but sign me up for breakfast!

Added! Welcome to Gameday, paladinlee.
You won't regret it! A healthy breakfast is a great way to start a Gameday.
Count Me In...
...for Mark CMG's killer dungeon in the afternoon.
Admittedly, I am daunted by taking on this: "It's time to test your mettle against one of the most dangerous adventures ever devised." And with only three players I am shaking in my little leather booties.
But then, I don't need to be the fastest-- just faster than the rest of the party when I run away and hide. I mean, 'tactically retreat.'
