Chicago Gameday XII is Nov 12th: Planning Thread

[Desdichado]

So... where is this Elmore thread?

Right here on the first page of General. You can't miss it.

Hey, we're firm. Nov 12th has already been set as the date, and the proposed changes have been mostly spitballing. The only thing up in the air right now is whether there will be half-slots, but that has to wait for GMs to step forward.

I think Nikmal still has to confirm or deny that he will have a miniatures painting thread in both slots. (It should be cleared up, as Reidzilla's EXCELLENT poster mentions all day miniature painting.) However, things are firming up.

Joshua, don't be too hard on yourself about the Duchess' Tea Party -- which was fun. I think part of the problem is that a PC really needed to portray a certain cleric for the background information.

Oh, I'm not being hard on myself, I'm just saying that it had a few minor kinks that I fixed for the Detroit gameday, where I ran a very similar game.

Dang; I haven't run in a while. If Quickbeam doesn't end up running his Cthulhu adventure, maybe I can run something. There's also a guy I work with who's just started what he calls a "rogue" campaign; essentially magic classes are severaly limited (I don't know if that's formal, or nobody just picked any) and they're running around on a pirate ship. I think something like that would be really fun; opening up the Complete Adventurer and Warrior books up to bulk up the classes so you have more options.

Or I could run Duchess Part II.

Or... Well, I could run a lot of things, I guess.

Which will be... when?

 

[Digital M@]

If Nikmal can't run the painting seminar, I will be able to do it.

 

[Digital M@]

I forgot to mention, I really enjoyed the Tea party adventure.

 

[Nikmal]

I do have a question for you and Nikmal. Is the miniature painting seminar an all-day event? (As I recall, we had it just in the morning slots in the past.)

The Painting seminar is an all day event. In the past two game days at least it was all day as well

Not sure about the other game days though

I should be ok to make it to the game day.. it is far enough out that I should be well into recovery by that time. Though I have to have something to eat every 3-4 hours and something to drink all day long

So this to shall be fun!

Hey, you were in that? I don't remember your username--have you changed it since, or am I just being flaky?

I remember the faces of everyone in that game, if that means anything...

Oh, now, ya buncha im-patients. First post has been updated. All are now welcome to post their event listings.

 

[JoeGKushner]

Well if anyone needs a Warhammer adventure run, I can pull out the old Plundered Vaults. There are some potential 'half-game' slots in there depending on what the players do.

 

[thalmin]

Hey, buzz. How about placing the date into the thread title?

 

[Sqwonk]

Running a game

Please add me to run a game in the 9:30 - 2:30 slot.

D&D 3.5 Against the Giants

I will write up a description over the weekend.

Thanks

Cool! I talked to Quickbeam last night, and he's going to check his calendar. If he's free, he said he could run the Cthulhu game he almost ran last time.

I would like to run something too--which of the following seems of interest to folks?

• Pirate Campaign - using 3.5, 5^th level, but characters are limited to no more than two levels of a dedicated spellcasting class. Classes from Complete Warrior and Complete Adventurer are encouraged, as are DMG "early" firearms. Setting will very roughly be a combination of Port Royale in it's heigh-day and cruising on the South China Sea.
  
  
• Duchess Tea Party II - when folks want to make fun of "true roleplayers" they always talk about spending a session acting out the Duchess' Tea Party. Same idea here; we start off doing a very exaggerated event such as that--and then all hell breaks loose, and the game turns into a frantic "stop the big giant monster that just ate the Duchess." 3rd or 4th level characters, I'd imagine.
  
  
• If for some reason Quickbeam doesn't run his Cthulhu game, I'll run one--I've been really interested in running the intro adventure in the Delta Green setting book for CoC. d20 rulebook; my BRP book is in pretty bad shape...

Oh, hey. Cool. How's it going?

 

[Quickbeam]

I'd prefer to use D&D with the Potter idea, though, for some bizarre reason.

You do this, and I'm definitely in!!

They all sound good to me!

(Not helpful, I know, but true. I swear!)

With this remark in mind, I am pleased to announce:

"The Enemy of My Enemy Is...." : A band of heroes find that they suddenly have common cause with hated enemies and must help them overcome a common foe. A Dungeons and Dragons/Arcana Unearthed adventure featuring role playing, intrigue, and combat for 9th level characters. Pre-generated characters, although I am willing to consider requests. (GM approval of player sign ups required.)

Buzz, put me in the afternoon slot. Okay, fellow GMs, time to step up and confirm that you will be running an event!

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.

 

[Desdichado]

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.
