Chicago Gameday XV is Oct 21st: Planning thread

[JoeGKushner]

In terms of miniatures, one of the things I've thought about is seeing if there'd be any interest in like a 'basic' class for say, Skeletons.

I could pick up one of those $19.99 packs at Games Plus of the old tin figures, prime 'em and have 'em in various stages of 'completion' to show a few different ways to paint them from quick and dirty drybrushing to base-coat + wash of different colors.

Buzz, if you're running Burning Empires though, put me down for that. I'm dying to see how the game plays as opposed to how it reads.

Ok, I'm taking the plunge, Buzz. I'm up for running two games this time around. In the morning slot (for the benefit of rvalle, if he's interested), I'll be running a D&D-ish 3.5 game that will carry on the adventures of the now (in)famous halfling/kobold chef.

Great! Thanks for doing that (now I just hope I can make that date!!!)

Though... I'm not so sure its a good thing for us not to have the 'We are locking the door now' time limit. You may have the first Morning session game that runs late till closing time.

Is anyone going to run a minatures painting session?

You have the power to make it happen, guys. I'm sure we could even even do both, i.e., have a "minis open table" where you can just paint or else work with Joe on painting skeletons. Pick a slot!

I will be adding a pile of miniatures (mostly Reaper) to the Swag Heap

"Buzz, where are all those Reaper minis I donated?"

"Uh... what minis?"

"Dude, why are your pants clanking?"

Buzz, if you're running Burning Empires though, put me down for that. I'm dying to see how the game plays as opposed to how it reads.

Hopefully, I will be able to do it justice. Be sure to remind me once the sign-up thread gets started.

TracerBullet42, William: added. TB, I see you're picking up some of Floyd's bad habits...

You mean like playing RPGs regularly and now running A game, much less two?

Let's just hope he picks up the habit of ENDING ON TIME!

(Warning Rob, not ending on time in the mmorning means gamers not eating lunch...they will hurt you. Probably by putting a vorpal-d4 on your chair when you got to sit down.)

Well, technically I kind of did that when I did the "all day game" a few GD's back.

But it was planned to be that way.



EDIT: More than likely I will be donating a few things, things that basically didn't make it to the Auction.

Fear not, my morning game shall not run long, for it involves MY eating time, as well. So if things are running too late, I'll just have Buzz's Demon King show up and slaughter the whole group. Then we can eat!

And you're welcome. I was considering running these two games this time around anyway, so if I can accomodate your desire for some Serenity (Floyd runs a great Serenity game, by the way) I'm happy to oblige.

Silly Floyd, the vorpal enhancement can only be applied to a slashing weapons. A d4 would clearly be a piercing weapon, and, therefore, not qualify for such a vorpal enhancement.

In order for such a thing to happen, a person would have to house rule vorpal weapons...which is just crazy-talk.

House-ruling vorpal weapons...ha. The idea makes me laugh.

(This message not intended for those oblivious to sarcasm.)

Ah, then you have never seen PRINCESS MONONOKE.

I was just thinking the same thing.

No, but I have seen The Little Vampire. (Or at least part of it.)
