D'oh! Slots are filling up super fast--I've got a call into Quickbeam to find out what he's doing so I can plan around it, but sadly, work is keeping him occupied, and he hasn't been able to return my call.

Try an e-mail. Or you can perhaps reserve a slot for him. This way, he can get back to you with his plans. There is still time for several changes.

I was actually thinking of running one of my traditional Skull & Bones adventures... But you decide to run a pirate game, I can always do a Wild, Wild West spoof using the new Spycraft 2.0 rules.

I thought that you could not make it on the 12th. Hopefully, this has changed. My advice is that you and Joshua Dyal reserve slots, and everyone can sort things out.

OK, buzz, here's the deal. I'll run Cthulhu in the morning. If Quickbeam ends up coming with me to Chicago (which is probably likely) then I'll let him run the Cthulhu game instead of me, but just to get a slot, I'll claim it. I have no problem running that game if Quickbeam doesn't.

In the afternoon I'll also run a TBD D&D 3.5 game--one of the two I mentioned earlier, but I don't know which yet. I can work something out with PBartender if he really wants to run Skull & Bones. That does seem to be the ideal piratey system, but I don't have it, so I was going to improvise with D&D. I wouldn't mind running Duchess II either.

I couldn't... But like I said, I still had a few tricks up my sleeve. :D

Well, thank the Seven Heavens for sleight of hand! It seems that we are seeing a great selection of games by great DMs. So, let's firm everything up on the events, so Reidzilla's poster will reflect what it will be run on NOVEMBER 12th. (It might be a good idea, buzz, to put the date of the Gameday in the thread titile.)
 

BUzz can you make sure that the Table in the corner by the water cooler is reserved for the Painting seminar. That way we can set the lights and such up again :) thanks!
 

Here are my entrees into the event pool.

Accursed City #1
Mutants & Masterminds 2nd Ed.


Verde city was once a nice place, but not anymore. It’s amazing how fast a large city can go to hell. Something happened years ago. Ask around and anyone will tell you. Not that they have a clue as to what happened. It just did.
Some people think it was about the same time as when the supers started appearing, here and there around the world. Others say it was after the Bjord comet passed so close the Earth. No one really knows or, at least, nobody who cares to tell.
Anyways, crime and corruption reigns supreme now. The few parts of the city government that aren’t on the take try to clean up the place, but it never works. They just don’t have enough juice. Most citizens stay indoors after dark and hope that no one comes calling. Those that do brave the night, they roll dice with the devil every step they take. Fact is that there is only one thing stopping corruption in this city from devouring all the innocent people who still live here. Us.
We call ourselves the Nightwalkers and we use our gifts to fight crime, clean up the streets, and generally kick corruption in the butt. So, you game to join? Or are you going to let your talents rot while you listen the city eating itself alive.

Join the Nightwalkers as they begin the fight for justice in the once fair Verde city. Power Level 8 Characters will be provided and rules will be taught. If you want to create your own character, contact me at sales@dicegoblins.com after Oct 1. For 6 players.
Morning Slot, table by the doors.


The Kill Clause
Game Operating System: Paranioa XP


‘Twas oh-nine-hundred in the old north Red Sector.
Surveillance was watching every nook, cranny, and vector.
Citizens in the domiciles maintained their routines,
unknowing they were targets of a treasonous fiend.
Bypassing sensors and alarms, he did quietly step.
Gracefully moving like a shadow, no trap did he trip.
Like a hunter he stalked his well-guarded prey;
The promising adolescents of sub-sector A.
He caught them by surprise and spread treasonous joys,
all in the form of unauthorized candy and toys.
Quite swiftly, he would leave as quick as him came.
Leaving no trace, no targets, and no one to blame.
“This can no longer continue! North Red Sector is in a fix!
This being corrupts order with its unauthorized tricks!”
Cooperation is mandatory so to your mission be quick!
By order of the Computer, you must kill the St. Nick!

Characters will be provided and rules will be taught. Just bring Dice, Munchies, and a good sense of humor! 6 players.
Afternoon slot, table by the door.
 

Okay, I've added the date to the subject and all the events. We're full up! No more events left to fill.

We've got five D&D events this time around, which should hpoefully be a good draw. Now I just need to figure out how Harry flagrantly violates some copyrights...

Hrm... :\ Well, I guess that makes my decision as to what to run a little easier.

Oops! Golly PB, I'm sorry. It was rather rude of me to take the last two event slots. If you still want to run something I will gladly give you one of my slots. I will just need everybody to post their opinions as to which event to cancel.

Both events look good, but I will give a nod towards Mutants and Msterminds as it would be the only superhero event of the Gameday. Paranoia is also good, but I do not know how big of a draw Paranoia would be. By limiting yourself to one event, Reidzilla, you will get a chance to play -- something that I recommend for all GMs at the Gameday.

By the way, I ran into two gamers in Oak Park, whom I e-mailed about the Gameday. So, we may have some new faces at the Gameday. (Reidzilla, as soon as you have decided what game to run and the schedule is fixed, I think that your poster will be a welcome sight at Games Plus.)
