AM & PM slot request

AM Slot: "Earn Your Keep" The Duke has summoned you to a most auspicious meeting. As loyal vassals, you have heeded the call. But as to what or whom, you remain in the dark. Will you rise to the challenge, and save the good people of the lands you have sworn an oath to protect, or bring shame upon yourselves and all those that carry your name? A story driven fantasy adventure for 4 – 6 ROLE-playing heroes. Approximately 4-5 Hrs. of creative challenges, blood curdling hack-n-slash and, a good bit of fun. Pre-gen Characters. Myth & Magic is an updated AD&D 2nd Ed. that bridges the “old school” with the new. You needn't have any experience with these rules, just jump right in and enjoy the adventure. Please no players from the last GameDay session. PM Slot: TBD (Thieves and earthquakes and such?) Bruce G

Put me down to run a game in the AM slot- it might be Heroine or Monsterhearts. Maybe Urban Shadows if I can get my act together.

You KNOW my vote totally goes for Monsterhearts! (Then again, I have zero idea what Urban Shadows is other than what its name suggests,* But it Urban Shadows sounds like it's up my alley too, sort of the flipside of Monsterhearts, so I could probably be convinced to do that, too. *g*)
*(My pathetic Google-Fu was actually enough to inform me, hurray!)

Special Request

Due to a best friend's wedding, I will not actually be attending Gameday 39. Sad feels!

I need at least one (but hopefully more) person who'd like to act as a Gameday Deputy. These people will be responsible to for making sure people find their tables, helping walk-ins find events, and just generally keeping an eye on things. I'll be asking you to post table signs and such as well. And if you can bring name tags... you'll be my hero.

So, if interested, please let me know. I'm happy to have as many people act in this capacity as possible.

I'm your huckleberry.

Also, set me up to run a game in each slot. I'll put my thinking cap on and come up with some interesting ideas for games. Maybe a minis game in the early slot and a big old boardgame in the second, or an Old School RPG in the second, since that one is more flexible time-wise.

I found inspiration for some kung fu action and will be running a slightly modified Feng Shui scenario I found online called Heart of Darkness. (I'm re-naming it for my own nefarious purposes though)


Name: Rumble in the Jungle
Game: Feng Shui
Afternoon slot, any table, 6 players, pre-generated action movie stereotypes provided.
Rules Knowledge: Beginners Welcome


Oppressive heat, virulent diseases, bad food, and dangerous locals—and that’s just at the airport! Come join a ridiculous cast of action movie archetypes as they venture up the Amazon in search of a lost artifact. Surviving the journey is only half of the battle—because someone else wants the artifact just as much as you, if not more, and they brought a lot of firepower. Bring a quiver of one-liners, your best bad accents, ideas for gravity and death-defying stunts, and the improvisational chops to turn every object your character encounters into a deadly weapon.

Sweet, I know what I am playing!

Noted!

(They're coming out with a new edition, FYI. I'm gonna get to play it at GenCon! Not sure on a ship date, though...)

 

[Trevalon Moonleirion]

I saw that on Piratecat's twitter feed and will probably buy it sight unseen. Love FS.

I'll be at GenCon Wed-Sun

General FYI: I'll be at GenCon from Wednesday through Sunday night, so I may not be prompt in responding to anything posted here during that time.

...and we're back!

 

[Gnashtooth]

One Ring?

Curious as this would be my first Game Day, what was the turnout for One Ring like last time? I'd be willing to either play or run it. I had a lot of fun with it at Gen Con.

I could also run a 5e D&D game if there is interest.

I ran the TOR events last time; I had five players in the morning and two in the afternoon. I think you'd have good turnout if you were running just a single slot.

I could also run a 5e D&D game if there is interest.

...and you might get even more people for 5e, since it is the new hotness.

I'd like to give up my morning slot to Traxiss and play in either one that gets run, that way I won't be overly committed to running two scenarios on the same day. (I could give up the evening instead if Traxiss prefers that slot.)

Okay, we'll see what [MENTION=6670067]Traxiss[/MENTION] wants to do.

General notice to GMs: Please decide your TBDs and post your event description if you have not already.

We're just a week and a half or so from player registration, so the sooner I can get everything into Warhorn, the better.

Supernatural Event Description

Event Title: Deathwail
GM: Josh "Ninjacat" Brining
Time Slot: PM
System: Cortex Classic (Supernatural)
Players: up to 6
Rating: Adults Only (gore descriptions comparable to the TV show)
Table Preference: D

Blurb:

There's a Hunt in Chicago. Something supernatural is killing people, but heck if you can figure out what. The victims don't have anything in common other than being residents of Chicago...not even the methods of killing. Blunt force trauma, internal pressure escalation, pyrokinesis- -what even does all of that? A bigwig demon, maybe? Then what's it up to? Somebody better find out, and put a stop to it, whatever is going on.

Looks like it's time for another RoadTrip.

Deathwail is an action/horror RPG in the setting of the CW's Supernatural television show. The Players will play Hunters trying to stop the monster behind the killings, using the Classic Cortex game mechanics from Margaret Weis Productions. The game mechanics are very simple, though having more than one polyhedral set of dice would be helpful. Familiarity with the TV show is not required, though will of course prove useful. More information about this event is available at my website, _here_.

• Time: Morning
• Game system: Urban Shadows, a modern urban fantasy hack of Apocalypse World (rules in beta)
• Event Title: Shadows Over Chicago
• Description: You're a monster in the big city- a vampire, a werewolf, a fey or something else. You have power, sure, but you're not the only shark in this pond. Speaking of sharks- a new name is whispered in the shadows- they couldn't possibly be dumb enough to muscle in on your territory, right? What are you gonna do about it?

The corruption mechanic is unique to this system- as you are corrupted you gain great and terrible new powers, but nothing comes free, yeah?
