Game 3 - D&D - The Shattered Circle
Summary - "Evil is seeping from the earth!"
-Old Two Fingers
From time out of mind, the standing stones known as the Circle of Cahervaniel have stood lonely vigil on a grassy hilltop. Sheepherders once moved their flocks over the hill and through the circle, sometimes resting in the cool shadows cast by the ancient stones.

Everything changed when a stone finger fell, revealing a fissure in the earth. Now, dark shadows caress the circle after the sun sets. Creatures out of nightmare dance upon the hillside at night. Many swear that a unicorn of deepest ebony now hunts all upon two legs who draw near, while stunted creatures scurry in the shadows, abducting sheep from their sheds and drawing them down below ground for food.

After the disappearance of a sheperd, fear grows stronger in neighboring villages. Who will brave the black hollow of the ancient Circle of Cahervaniel? Heroes of stern mettle must descend into the cavity and explore the ancient spaces existing there.

At this point, I'm leaning towards letting people bring their own PCs, standard 3.5 rules only. But more on that later.

Game 4 - D&D 3e: Rokugan Setting - A Tainted Collection
Summary - Month of the Dog, when harvests are prepared to bring to the market, when armies retreat for respect of winter’s touch, when rain and monsoons swarm over villages like nezumi over a tossed coin… when taxes for the Emperor are collected. Or that is how things are supposed to go. Imperial tax collector Torturi Payami has failed to arrive at a trading center near the Kaui Pass, the Crab fortification Mura nisa Shinden Hitomi (Village of Morning Light). Rumors of bandits persist, accusations abundant, and suspects numerous. Will Tortui Payami be found and the perpetrators brought to justice? Or will the Emperor’s gold be lost and honor remain unsatisfied?

A Tainted Collection is a D&D 3.5 adventure set within the Rokugan setting. 7th level characters will be provided. Anyone with any questions or interests in Rokugan can email me by clicking Here.

Summary - Rumors of a massing Tokite army and missing Pekalese military scouts brings the characters to the attention of a powerful duke. He seeks their assistance in verifying these rumors and discovering what has happened to the missing soldiers.

I need 4-6 players to make it a sanctioned RPGA table. If interested players are not yet RPGA members, I have ordered free membership applications and should have them in time for the event. Prior knowledge of the Kingdoms of Kalamar is not necessary.

First Post
I'm going to leave the official information in the first post and handle all questions and comments and planning in the rest of the thread.

Scheduling will work the same as before - propose a game, which slot you want it to run in, an adventure name and summary, and how many players. The game will be added to the schedule and players will sign up in the thread.

NEW
Just to make sure all is cool with rule number two, I am going to wait for GM approval before putting someone officially in the game.
NEW

A few house rules for those new to the Gameday ranks:
1. You must be a registered ENWorld member to sign up - no signing up "by proxy."
2. IMPORTANT - no game switching! Once you sign up for a game, you're in that game - it's not fair to the GM or the other players to back out like that. Keep in mind, though, that a GM can turn away players.
3. The prize drawing will be limited to those who pre-register. We want to reward people for committing early to running or playing a game and think this is the best way to do it.

Let me know if you have any questions, otherwise - GAME ON!

Thanks,
Matt

Matt, please sign me up for the Game Day, but list me as undecided for events so far.

Done - thanks for signing up and letting us play at your place again.

I've also marked myself as undecided. While both of Mark's games sound incredible, I would like to give some other people a chance to experience games run by him.

-Matt
 


1. Hey, there was gonna be a February Gameday in Milwaukee; guess that's March now. :)

2. Sign me up for breakfast (which I haven't made since June 2002, I think).

3. Matt, will your Synnibarr game be in the afternoon or the morning? And will it be regular Synnibarr or the new version? "New version?" I hear you ask. Why, yes, Raven emailed me and noted that he is working on a new version. I hope it's D20 compatible!
