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.

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?
