Chicago Gameday: Read about what you missed

[Anubis]

Ya' know, I've never been to a gaming convention before, and this looks perfect to meet other gamers.

Yeah! Although it's still a month away, I don't wanna miss my chance to get in on the game that looks most interesting. Sign me up for breakfast and the two table game in Slot 1 along with the meal break and prize drawing!

I do have a couple questions, though. How will figures be done? (I don't have any of my own, as I use pins in my home games.) Will characters be provided or do we need to make them in advance? Will it go by the books, and what house rules will be in place? Lastly, will the FAQ be used for rules clarifications or not?

Sorry about all the questions, I'm a gaming convention virgin. Not to gaming, but just to conventions and gamedays.

Welcome to the game, Anubis. Add him to my table...it looks so lonely compared to Barendd's...

As for your questions...

I don't mess around with minis too much, so I mainly use counters or dice. There may well be some minis that people will bring, and you are of course welcome to buy one at the store and use it however you wish...Basically, we'll use SOMETHING to represent your character!

Rules are standard 3.5 edition, but as long as you know 3.0, you'll be good to go. No funny house rules. Weird situations that might've been updated in a FAQ.. well... we'll cross that bridge if and when we come to it. If something is unclear in the rules, I'll usally throw the question on the table for a few seconds, then just make a ruling.

Characters will be provided to you, at no cost....except your sanity... heh heh heh.

I think that answers all of your questions, O Jackal-headed God.

I do have one more question: is the game good vs. evil? One table as good and the other evil? If so, which table is yours? (So I know which character mindset to prepare for, hehehe.)

Welcome to Gameday, Anubis! You're all signed up.

 

[Ebechan]

Ok, I decided I can get up that early one day anyway

Hey Buzz, could you sign me up for Slot 1 Game 6: The Voyage of the Damn? Thank ye kindly

Well, I'm not super sure, but I do believe that Barendd and I are just going to be having two good parties who simply represent different factions or interest groups, or perhaps rival kingdoms. Even if you're good, you can be plenty cutthroat once you've both got your eyes on the prize though...

Ok, Mark has givin his permision for me to join his second-slot game, and I would hopefully like to join Trevelon's table in games 3&4 in the first slot. I'd also like to be in slot 0 for breakfast.

Cool by me!

Ebechan: Done!
Shadowbane: Done! Welcome to Chicago Gameday.
Trev & Barendd: FYI, I'm sorta singing up players to either table semi-randomly to balance each one out. The players can split up between tables however you or they want, though.

Exactly. Both will be (generally) good--just two factions with opposing goals.

Of course, one of the goals might be to kill the other side....
