Chicago Gameday - The Aftermath

[Barendd Nobeard]

What are people interested in playing? I've got a number of modules, including, off the top of my head:
*most of the adventure path
*Rappan Athuk 1, 2, and 3
*Of Sound Mind
*The Banewarrens
*City of the Spider Queen

Damn, that's really all I can think of and most of them aren't super well-suited to a gameday experience. Anyhow, I've generally been Mark's playtest whore for the past few gamedays, and I'd be happy to continue the streak, if he wanted.

Rappan Athuk - as a mega dungeon crawl - might be good for a one-shot. Just keep cycling in new characters as Rappan Athuk chews up the starting line and spits it out.

And I like your new .sig - I must add my new name to my .sig as well....

I'm glad you like, and yes you should

As for RA...that is an idea actually. Any other suggestions folks?

Heya Trev!

I'll see what I can come up with for you. You might want to run it (or something) in the first slot, and join me in the second slot at my table. It'll be something you haven't seen before and should be a hoot.

BTW MattyHelms, it might be a good idea to allow DMs the chance to approve of players before signing them up in a slot, just to be sure that folks don't wind up in a game where they aren't able to enjoy themselves for whatever reason.

No! Trev has to run something in the afternoon so I can play in it!

Trev - gotcha on the list. I signed you up for breakfast, because why wouldn't you want to eat with us fine folks?

Mark - I had that in the second post and removed it at the last second. I'll put it back in, so it is clear and there are no surprises this time around.

I'm still trying to decide if I want to run anything in the second slot. Here are a few of my ideas, so let me know if you're interested in any of them:

1. An actual Synnibarr adventure using pre-gen characters.
2. A rousing game of M-Force - modern-day monster hunting.
3. That darn "Kung Fu in Space with Cthulhu and Giant Bears" adventure I've been threatening to run using QAGS or original Cthulhu.

Anyone interested in any of these?

Thanks,
Matt

You're just giving Barendd a chance to shatter my Weird Wars dreams, aren't you?

Matt-

Hey! Sorry I missed the last Game Day, but I am looking to the next one... If I can dodge baby-duties for a day, I would really like to attend. You could swing the vote, if you would truly run... "that darn 'Kung Fu in Space with Cthulhu and Giant Bears' adventure [you've] been threatening to run..." What say you??

I have even asked Buzz to borrow his Call of Cthulu d20 book to prep up in anticipation. Then I will flip through some Lovecraft and Lumley books, and finish up with the "Pigs in Space" Muppet photobook I have, and I will be all set.

Well, mark me down as attending but undecided; guess I have commitment issues.

It's quite possible that I *might* be persuaded to run something this time around, most likely not D&D... but who knows? Any preferences? d20 Modern? M&M?

In case I haven't said it already, congratulations on the baby!

You were missed at the last Gameday, so I hope you are able to stop on by this time.

That darn adventure is a crazy idea that I've been kicking around for a while. Think Western in space (like Firefly) with some crazy martial arts action, giant bears ('cause they're fun - just ask Mark), and Cthulhu-style threats. I have the basic plot worked out, but it's a matter of finding a system I'd be comfortable running it in. I'm a hulluva lot more comfortable with original Call of Cthulhu than the d20 version, so I may end up doing the adventure with that. QAGS is really simple and would make the players bribe me with candy to have things go their way. Either way, characters would be provided and simple rules would be explained. That is, if I run it.

H-E-Double-Hockey-Sticks, one positive vote's good enough for me. I'm putting it on the schedule.
