Chicago Gameday XIX 3/15/08: Planning Thread

[thalmin]

Maybe we coukd start planning the date for the summer Game Day? With graduations, conventions, 4E release, and Free RPG Day, we have a lot of things to consider.

I would like to suggest that we NOT play on June 28th...I will likely be out of town.

If I'm here, I fully intend to pick up the D&D adventures of the halfling twins at that point.

Does Games Plus have events currently scheduled out that far? I.e., do we currently have our pick of any date?

I'd vote for June 14th or June 28th (sorry TB).

What release dates for WotC products do we need to be aware of when choosing a gameday date?

Because we want to avoid them or because we don't?

4e comes out June 8 6th, iirc.

Good question. I guess that would be up to thalmin.

I wonder if they will be printing a large first run?

Seems a safe bet. Heck, the 4e books have been topping the Gaming Bestsellers at Amazon for months, are we're still 3-4 months from release. They better dang well print a ton of copies.

I heard they might do a small run and go with a POD outfit (Print On Demand) to fulfill waning orders after the initial two week surge.

Spoiler

I wonder how long Buzz will buy this malarkey while I bump the thread?

Just a reminder, ORIGINS is the 25-29th of June.

Dark Blade Rising PCs

Here are the final versions of the PCs for my event. The previous ones I posted should be disregarded. I'd also like to add the following to my blurb.

"It would help greatly if each player could print their chosen character and cut out the needed maneuver and stance cards. It will help the event run much smoother."
