Chicago Gameday: Read about what you missed

[Mark]

There's always room...

As far as I know, there isn't anything coming out by October that I "just gota buy/run!"

Greetings, Citizen.

The Computer wishes to inform you that Paranoia XP is due to be published this August. Game play is mandatory.

Failure to play Paranoia XP is treason. Treason is punishable by summary execution.

The Computer is your friend.

Thank you, and have a nice day.

Not to mention d20 Future, Tekumel, GURPS 4e, Fireborn, Trinity d20, Eden's Beyond Human, the Star Wars minis game...

I am such a game whore.

So it sounds like there is some potential for numerous games here, but perhaps we need a poll? "Given limited time at a one day convention, what would you play?"

I do plan to post a poll in the next planning thread.

Do we know what the physical capacity of the place is? How many tables and chairs? I'm assuming that each table is pretty much good for one GM and a her players? That way we could have a maximum # of potential slots or something along those lines in the planning phases.

And were there enough comments on the whole dual-dueling GMs and how did that work out? I heard good and bad thigns about it and was sorry to have missed it as the table filled up before I finished my breakfast. I like the idea of prizes for performance. Perhaps some other goal oriented RPGing can be done via scenarios like one of the Warhammer games as opposed to a kill 'em all style?

We currently have six 4x8 tables, including the roleplay room, plus two 6x10 and one 4x6 minis tables. We only have about 6 stools for the minis tables, and we have way more than enough chairs for the other tables.

So we could have about nine games going! That's a pretty good amount of space that can be filled out with games if needed. Something to keep in mind when deciding what games will be run.

Khan's Press Prizes

Khan's Press winners: Your email addresses have been sent to Khan's Press. I'm not sure if they want to contact you directly with instructions for claiming prizes, or if you can just pick a product and them email them. I've asked for clarification, so I'll let everyone know.

Hi all.
Sorry for the delay. The man in charge of prizes (me) temporarily blinded one of his eyes and by doctors orders was unable to focus (read emails) for the last week... anyways...
Emails have been sent out and just follow the instructions.

Thanks.

Ouch! Hope you're okay, Kaledor.

Just so it's official, most of the responses to what date we should set for next gameday came out in support of Oct 16th, so I'd like to go ahead and make it official. Look for a planning thread sometime in August.

And where are the pics? Painfully? Trev?
