Chicago Gameday XII is Nov 12th: Planning Thread

[Desdichado]

Okay, who is willing to step up and ensure that Joshua has a chance to play? I know there were some people who mentioned ideas in the early part of this thread who have been largely silent since then.

Oh, that's not the issue; I could very happily play in, say, buzz'z "Harry Potter" game, or some of the others already present. Rather, I'm trying to gauge how much interest there is in either of the games I proposed. If interest isn't all that high, I'll just give up the slot and play in a game that's already there.

However, both of those would be fun to run, and if there are people who are interested in them, I'll do it, and be happy to do so. At this point, it's more a question of whether or not people are interested in playing either of those games.

My tough decision right now is deciding whether I'd rather play in your CoC game, or Wesel's Serenity game.

I see that the event roster is filled up already so I will just be a player for this Gameday then. I can still create a Basic D&D (red box) adventure with pregen characters to fill any empty slots from last minute cancellations. Otherwise, I will wait until the event signup and look for anything that William Ronald is running.

It is a good idea to have a back up event, as we have seen a few unexpected cancellations in the past. I imagine that once the events are finalized, we can see about sign ups.

GORAK, feel free to check the descriptions of the other events when they are posted. (There are many GREAT GMs at the Gameday and great rules systems, although I am flattered that you expressed an interest in my event "The Enemyo f My Enemy Is ...." which will use some of the AU/D&D rules. The event will feature a combination of roleplaying and combat, so I will be working on the characters this week -- including backgrounds, personalities, and other appropriate information. (For example, I will include some spell and ability descriptions for the AU characters as well as the D&D characters.) So, I will try to make sure that this is an adventure for using one's wits, as well as using magic and weapons.

TracerBullet42: I think G-Mail might be sufficient for a 10 MB file. Thank you for being willing to print and deliver the posters to Games Plus, and to Reidzilla for designing the posters.

I have just returned from Games Plus...and the posters have been delivered. I'm going to make a hundred or so black and white copies and drop them off as well for handouts/stuffers.

Curt had a pretty good idea that we might want to try to incorporate for next time. He mentioned that there are EnWorld Game Days going on all around the country all the time and that an "official" EnWorld Game Day poster, complete with the EnWorld logo and such, might be a good thing to have put together. But perhaps that idea belongs in the Meta area...

Joshua Dyal, if you're wanting to empty out of a slot so that you can "play" too, I'll run something in one of your slots, if you like. Otherwise, I'll happily "play" all day.

TracerBullet42, THANKS! I am glad that the posters are out there, and that Curt will have extra to distribute at the shop.

Curt's idea is good, and perhaps we should discuss this in Meta. I will start a thread, and maybe you, Curt, and Reidzilla can join in. (Reidzilla, when you post, can you include your poster as an attachment for people in that thread to look at.) Maybe if EN World can provide a "Gameday poster" template (yes, I see the bad jokes coming) we might find it easier to help our fellow gamers run events locally.

No problem...I aim to please.

Most of the time, anyway...

Hey Gorak, Joshua posted this earlier. Maybe you two can work something out.

However, I had honestly hoped to play a game and run a game, and I'm currently scheduled to run twice. Is there any really strong interest in either of my two D&D 3.5 suggestions? If so, I'll go ahead and run it, but it everyone's kinda "meh" I'll give up my afternoon slot to some other hopeful GM.

Let's try to work the scheduling out soon. So far, this is shaping up to be a great Gameday!
