Chicago Gameday IX is Oct 23rd: THE AFTERMATH...

[Jaws]

Bastion Press just came through for us again. Jim Butler has donated 24 copies of The Forge. (Looks like a great chance to learn about the campaign world.)

Is that the novel?

BOOYAH! Mr. Butler is my hero.

Are we talking the Oathbound novel, "Forged" or the campiagn setting, "Oathbound: Domains of the Forge"? I'm guessing the former, but I want to be sure before I add it to the prize list. Either way, RAWK.

My girlfriend and I are both interested in getting started with RPGs. Neither of us ever have, but we're both familiar with "what" it is and "how" one plays. Are any of these games total-beginner-friendly? (Also, I'm already pretty familiar with basic mini painting, but my GF might be interested in a class).

Welcome to ENWorld and welcome to Gameday, typo!

I'll leave it to individual GMs to let you know how beginner-friendly they think their games are. All of our GMs are good folk, so I'm sure that they'll be accomodating no matter what event you decide to play.

FWIW, the event that I am running, "Littleton", is basically a superhero game in the vein of the WB's "Smallville." It uses the HERO system, and I will be expecting to teach rules. However, the HERO system is on the complex side, just so you know.

And, not to speak for another GM, but if you're planning on staying for the afternoon session, I'd reccomend the Angel/Buffy game, "This Modern Jungle". The Angel/Buffy RPGs use a very simple, fast-moving system. It's really easy to learn.

I'll be running a game that's great for new players...

Buzz! JD's poaching attendees!

(And I snagged some new dice while I was there!)

Hey Thalmin -- would you happen to have any of the Chessex Hi-Tech polyhedral dice sets in stock? They are the only item I regret not purchasing at GenCon (I bought two other "more interesting" sets, and have subsequently given them to my children who adored their bright colors and patterns) and my local hobby shop's distributors are letting me down for the first time ever. If you don't have them, would you order two sets prior to Gameday on my behalf?

Bah. Everyone knows Detroit Gameday is just a myth. You know, like Rifts players.

Is that the novel?

I try!

The Detroit Gameday sounds like fun. I wish this stupid lake wasn't in the way--it would make the drive much shorter.
