Buzz, how would you like to handle "guests"... In particular, young guests who can't exactly sign up on Warhorn on their own?

I'd like to make sure that "Son of Pbar" and "Pbar's Little Princess" get their spots in the Star Wars game.

I think the simplest thing might be for me to just reduce the number of available seats when I add the event to Warhorn. I think I can also manually register them. Either way, I've got you covered.

Time: Afternoon
Game system: Heroine by Josh T. Jordan

Added! I love that picture, too.
[MENTION=77074]sailorkitsune[/MENTION] has also stepped up to run an event in the PM (either Danger Patrol or... Heroine!), so we now have a full roster!

So, everyone: get your TBDs D'ed and post your full event descriptions ASAP.

That's TB42...puttin' the TB in TBD, and now D'ing my TBD, but with a change.

In other words, I'm changing my event. Here's the new spiel:

Time: afternoon (3:30 p.m.) slot
Game system: Firefly RPG (Cortex+)
Event Title: Echoes of War: Freedom Flyer
Description: Echoes of War: Freedom Flyer has our plucky crew meet up with Maggie Miller, who is all set to leave home and find greener pastures on the Rim. She just needs help paying off Ma Miller's medical bills, dodging a bounty hunter, and nabbing a ship from an old flame. You know, little stuff.
An image: I'm sure you can find something cool for me.

Works for me!

Time: afternoon (3:30 p.m.) slot
Game system: Firefly RPG (Cortex+)

Added! And, nice!

We can ask [MENTION=6672278]PhilK[/MENTION] about the work he did on the game.

Aww... no GB from TB?

FAE Dresden blurb...and question...

Okay kids, Matt's reply helped my indeterminate self decide to go ahead and run my FAE Dresden event, but I'm still indeterminate about which slot I should run it in. I see merit in running it in the afternoon (greater cognizance on my part, for one) but I thought Laurie's Dread-loving self was only making the pm slot. It turns out she's making both, so I'm unsure which event I should run when.

Does anybody running in either slot desire to play either of my events, and thus prefer it to be the opposite slot of theirs? Kelly, you said you preferred Buzz or me to run Dresden in the am...well, we both are, so I'm not sure that helps, oops. Anybody else have an opinion? Should I switch so people have the option to play FATE Accelerated and/or Dresden-verse games All Day Long? Is there a morning gm who wants to play Dread, so I should leave things as they are?

I'll do my best to respond to your input, folks; otherwise, I'll leave it as is: FAE am & Dread pm.

Time: morning slot (unless I switch again, oops)
Game System: FAE
Event Title: Freely Held, Faeriely Given
Content Rating: Adults Only
Number of Players: 5
Table Preference: D

Description: Something important is happening in Aurora, and when the Red Court of vampires is looking for more than blood, the White Court is acting even shiftier than usual, and a certain underworld Gentleman is visiting from Chicago, whatever it is can't possibly be good. It's up to the non-vanilla residents of Aurora to figure out what's going on and put a stop to it.

FAE stands for FATE Accelerated, a simplified version of the base ruleset used in the regular Dresden Files RPG. Grab some Fudge dice (or even regular d6s!) and get ready to explore the Dresden-verse supernatural side of Chicago's biggest suburb! Special Note: This is a sequel to the Dresden Files scenario I ran a few years ago; returning players are free to play the same character they did then, if they so choose.

@Morrus;

OMG, NTT. (Not This Time)
LMNOP. (My favorite part of the alphabet)

 

[Vyvyan Basterd]

Kelly, you said you preferred Buzz or me to run Dresden in the am...well, we both are, so I'm not sure that helps, oops.

I will enjoy playing either Dresden game, so not much help there. Two Dresden events in the same slot plus your morning cognizance might be good reasons to flip. But it doesn't impact me either way except being forced to choose between two good games, but then I'm sure many already have that issue. So....do what you like....I know, no help.

 

[Ninjacat]

..I know, no help.

Yeah, I knew you'd fall on the irrelevant side of things, heh. Why I'm looking for more input. *g*

 

[Vyvyan Basterd]

I knew you'd fall on the irrelevant side of things.

Et tu N-cat?

 

[Ninjacat]

Et tu N-cat?

*pout*

Yes, "and me"...I knew what you were gonna do! I knew it didn't change anything! YOU'RE not irrelevant, just that decision; I KNOW HOW YOU THINK, MISTER. (So, if you were actually irrelevant, I'm wasting my genius, or something. )

Also, the part where we both out-thing the Supernatural writers continues to amuse me, but that's only tangentially relevant, heh.

In Actual Relevance, does Laurie have a preference which event I run when? (Nobody else seems to yet; leaving things As Is fits your option...)

Unless you're subconsciously thinking you should run SPN in the morning...

She says "uhhh, Dresden" in the morning, but it sounded very noncommital. Probably justs wants a chance to spend half a GameDay with me.

 

[Ninjacat]

Unless you're subconsciously thinking you should run SPN in the morning...

Snerk. You Funny. On the other hand, it's been forever since we've had a RoadTrip, and Forever AND A DAY if we don't count the impromptu one last GameDay. We should do that soon.

She says "uhhh, Dresden" in the morning, but it sounded very noncommital. Probably justs wants a chance to spend half a GameDay with me.

Eh, that's as good a reason as any, and I'm tired of wracking my dichotomous brain about it. If another GM doesn't say one or the other opposite them in the reverse of how it stands, I'll leave FAE in the morning and Dread in the afternoon.

I think it might be better to ask any potential players who might be watching, rather than the other GMs... If switching makes the respective games available to more players who want to play them, then it might be a good idea.

If past precedent is anything to go on, there probably aren't many (if any) players keeping an eye on this thread.

The best course of action is always to run the game you're excited to run, in the slot that works best for you. If your current offerings meet that criteria, [MENTION=24418]Ninjacat[/MENTION], then you're good.

 

[Reidzilla]

If someone backs out of an afternoon slot, I'll run something.

You know what...I think I will take you up on that. I started grad school two weeks ago, and it's been scarier than anticipated. I should probably be spending my spare time on school instead of game prep.

Buzz, please remove me from the afternoon slot, and give my spot to Reid.

Aww. Stop being so studious! Done.
[MENTION=16198]Reidzilla[/MENTION], let me know if you'd like to run something in the afternoon.

 

[buzz]

Happy Monday, folks! I hope any presidents out there are enjoying a nice day off.

Anyone interested in taking that last afternoon table? It'd be great if we could fill that ASAP.

Also, please post your event description by the end of the week, like say, Saturday. I'd really like to get as many event descriptions into Warhorn as possible, as soon as possible, so that potential players can get an idea of what games are being offered. It seems like our being on Warhorn has garnered us some prospective players, so I want to make sure the roster is available as far in advance of signup as possible.

Thanks!
