Aaaaaand...cue lamenting. I haven't tried Leverage yet either, dangit!
So many awesome games, so few slots to play them in. The eternal curse of GameDay (and pretty much all cons, really.)

Hm. I should really figure out what the heck I want to run, huh.
I don't see anything grabbing my fancy for the second slot either, so I might just throw down some Zombie Cinema for that, too, if the slots don't fill...

Ninjacat, has the Gameday Supernatural Campaign come to an end?

Errrm...sort of?
I've run Fiasco at two of the last three GameDays; our RoadTrip Crew meets up for the literally ongoing campaign on our own time, or when it's convenient for everybody at a GameDay. The trick with that is, GameDay signups are first-come/first-serve, so sometimes Players can't make it to their own character's "episode"...that's why I moved it away from GameDays proper. (We did GameDay XXX because it was the team horndog member of the party's episode, so we couldn't pass up the pun, heh.)
There may also be confusion because I actually DID run a Supernatural adventure last GameDay...but that was Fiasco, not Classic Cortex. So, the answer to the question is both yes and no: the campaign hasn't ended, but it's no longer regularly run at GameDay. I'm more than willing to run Supernatural events at GameDay, but there's other things I'd like to try too, like Cold Steel Wardens and Fiasco. GameDay is a nigh-perfect venue for that, so I'll run whatever sounds good at the time. If anybody WANTS me to run something in particular, SPN, Buffy, whatever, I consider that a compliment! That's what these planning threads are for, to figure out what we're going to run; if someone wants to make a suggestion, I invite the input!

Ok, I was gonna throw up a poster but EnWorld seems to be restricting the size of the image I can post? How do I get it to show up larger than a thumbnail?

I uploaded mine to a separate image hosting site and linked the image address, rather than uploading it to EnWorld directly. It still displayed a silly thumbnail at the bottom of my post, but the image itself was full-sized.

Hm. I guess I can try that.
Feel free to edit size as needed, Buzz.

Well, yeah.... but that totally defeats the half hour I spent making the spiffy poster and the 15 minutes I spent figuring out how to put it up here. =\

Actually, is the private room open for either slot? I may have an experiment to try instead of DRYH. But it features some mature themes, and requires steady hands, so it would need isolation.

The image is going to get sized down for the sign-up thread no matter what, which could impede readability. I will transcribe the text or you can do it for me.
I believe the room is available for the morning slot.

Hm. I'm thinking about it, but what I have in mind might be too hardcore for the Game Day crowd... when do we have to have submissions in by?

Let's nail down my event. I'll get a full description to you by the deadline, but for now...

By EOD Friday, March 1st would be ideal. Consider that official!
Spiffy! Noted.

Alright, here goes nothing.
Give me the private room for my morning slot game, please. I won't mind having it for either game.
I'm going to put up the experiment I want to run, and if it doesn't get any interest after a week, I'll switch back to DRYH, that sound reasonable?
The DREAD That Came to Harmon Corners,
An existential nightmare for up to 10 brave players.
10 seats.
No experience necessary.
All materials provided.
MATURE AND TROUBLING THEMES, players strongly cautioned.
Harmon Corners is a small town, where everyone greets one another by name, and where nothing interesting every happens. Situated on the banks of the Chickahominy river, 20 miles from the next closest town, and 70 miles from anything you'd call "civilization", the people of Harmon Corners enjoy the peace and quiet of their isolation, and go about their small lives with little worry that tomorrow won't be much the same as today.
Harmon Corners isn't going to stay quiet, but it is going to get a lot more isolated. And tomorrow- best not to worry about tomorrow. Because Harmon Corners has a date... a date with DREAD.
