Chicago Gameday IX is 10/23: Planning thread.

[Mark]

If I can manipulate JD and Shadowlight's carpool, I'd love a seat in your evening game...but that may take some doing. If things don't work out on that front it will be good to see you again!!

I will keep my fingers crossed!

 

[Reidzilla]

Hey everybody! I REALLY need some more votes as to which games I should run at the gameday (see post #22). Vote early and vote often!

Thanks!

The vote so far:
D&D - 2
SAS d20 - 3.5
OA - 1
DDice - 0

I intend to be there. There is a possibility that will change, but I will let you know.

Tenitively, I think I can run a D&D Event (3.5) called "Live from Graceville". Preferably in a slot different from my top 2 choices for what Reidzilla is running. Pregens will be available for 6 players. I'll get an event description up by the end of the weekend.

Reidzilla's Events Vote (Ranks in order of preference:
#1
The Road to Nowhere
Darwin's World

#2
Allied Avengers Assemble!
Silver Age Sentinels D20 system (GOO) (some home rules)

#3
Awaiting the Dawn / Chapter 1: The Prophet of Benuvale

#4
Till death due us part...
D&D Oriental Adventures (d20, 3.0) (NON-L5R)

You'd probably be all right making your first slot game a D&D game and leaving just the second slot game up to a vote. People might be having trouble voting because they don't know which slot will get assigned which type of game once they've voted. If seven people vote for SAS but want it in slot one and six people vote for OA and want it in slot two, but you switch the slots, no one wins.

Drat! You have uncovered my nefarious scheme!

Seriously, you have a good point. I am officially going to run “Allied Avengers Assemble” in the morning slot. The vote will continue to determine whether I run “Awaiting the Dawn / Chapter 1”, “Till Death Due Us Part”, or “Something Completely Different” in the afternoon slot.

The Vote so far:
Awaiting the Dawn / Chapter 1 (D&D) 2
Till Death Due Us Part (OA D&D) 1
Something Completely Different (DDice) 0

FYI, Jaws has claimed the last of the morning slots, so you'd running your event in the evening, if that's okay.

Added. This is shaping up to be a very supers-filled Gameday. Excelsior!

Maybe we should all wear tights and capes! It is a week before Halloween.

Sounds good. Reidzilla is running is SAS in the morning anyway, which is what I wanted to play.

This should work for a description...

The Enemy of my Enemy...

The adventuring life has allowed you few luxuries and has also made you some enemies. Now the hamlet that you've come to call your home lies mostly in ruins and you want vengeance...but on whom? You're going to have to form some uneasy alliances to get the job done but that doesn't mean you have to like it. You can deal with the others once you're sure your main goal is achieved!

Six experienced players will take pre-generated 7th-level characters (only available at the beginning of the game, and randomly chosen) through this fast-paced adventure against the clock. Prizes for all but major prizes for those who survive! This game will definitely run late, so don't sign up unless you plan to see it through. (We can always order some latenight take out food such as pizza to help us make it through.)
