TracerBullet42: Done. Did you specifically want the tall table in back for your now-morning Ghostbusters game?
Nah, shouldn't need a big table for Ghostbusters. No battlemat...no minis. We're actually going to have to use our imaginations a little more...

If anybody wants that table at the back, consider it fair game.

Just tryin' to help out the Buzzster a little more...

Well, with the shuffling of games, I thought I'd update my descriptions just a tiny, tiny bit so that you can copy/paste with more ease. Hope it's a help!

My morning game:

Game 7:GHOST TOASTIES
Ghostbusters D6
TracerBullet42

Howie hated supermarkets. He hated going to them, and their crowds, and their buzzing fluorescent lights, and open-case freezers that were, well, freezing, and the snooty cashiers who wouldn't go on a date with you if you were bloody Brad Pitt for crying out loud, and the millions of different items that you never knew what aisle they were in, and especially he hated working for Yum-Mee Food Palace Supermarket. That he especially hated.

He was wheeling a dolly full of cereal boxes down aisle seven when he heard the noises. At first he didn't notice them; he was lost in a private fantasy, that each box of cereal he was stamping $3.19 was really the bald head of his boss, Fred Lunt, the supermarket manager.

So he didn't hear the crunching sounds until they were very close. Then Howie hear them, and hew saw his shadow flickering in front of him, and he turned to see the blue light and he screamed and screamed and cereal skitter all over the freshly-swept aisle....

Enter you, the heroes! Hauntings have been popping up lately around Mount Prospect, and you've enlisted in the up-and-coming Ghostbusters Franchise program! Just try not to get slimed!


Ghost Toasties is an adventure for up to six busters of ghosts. It uses West End's D6 Ghostbusters system. It is extremely easy to learn, so no experience is necessary. Characters will be created at the beginning of the session. (Again, extremely easy.)

And I promise we won't run late and miss lunch or your money back!

and my afternoon game:

Game 6:EXCUSE ME, BUT I BELIEVE I ORDERED THE PINEAPPLE SPECIAL
D&D 3.5 (ish)
TracerBullet42
It has been nearly three months since our band of heroes attended King Dagmar's wedding and stopped the evil necromancer (in quite an impressive fashion, no less), saving the kingdom from certain doom. Dagmar, for good reason, was extremely grateful and provided very charitable gifts to all those involved.

One gift, in particular, was especially loved. The gift of land. Land upon which a wonderful restaurant could be built! It is now time for the grand opening of the Tonga Room, and Wilimac and Bilimac Harbuckle have their hands full getting everything together for the big day.

Naturally, the whole gang shows up in the crowd for opening night. And crowded it is. Word of the culinary expertise and heroic stories has drawn in people from every direction. But what happens when a rich nobleman from the "savage north" shows up with an offer and a promise of magic more powerful than anything they've ever seen? Will the gang take him up on it? (Of course they will.) Are there strings attached? (Of course there are.) Is it worth it? (One would hope so.)


Excuse Me, But I Believe I Ordered the Pinapple Special is a D&D 3.5 adventure that follows up on the previous gamedays "The Runaway Bride" and "The King's Wedding Day (Or Should I Say Deadding Day...Is that McBain-y Enough For You?)" though it is not necessary for you to have played in them. This adventure is designed with love and care for up to six players (although there will be eight characters to choose from). We will be using some of the alternate rules from Unearthed Arcana, including the facing rules. (Don't worry, they're easy, and I'm not an ogre about it.) No previous experience is necessary, as I can teach you the rules as we play. Just bring some dice and a willingness to have a little fun.

"... and be at the last table still playing at the end of the night while everone else is waiting to close up!" -rvalle

Noted, Mark. I think that we'll be good with either current 7/6 split, or a 6/7 if someone moves their event.

Will the mini thing be a "bring your own supplies" situation?

I will bring enough paints to share - but I have Reaper and GW not Vallejo. I will also have several "paint & take" minis. I will also bring some primer, sealer and other misc.
But I am a little short on brushes to share.
 

Unfortunately, I will not really be attending this GameDay. I will be attending a cousin's wedding in Lake Geneva. I should be able to be at the store to get things started, but will be bugging out quite early.

Not a problem and thanks for asking!

No Serenity!!! I was SO looking forward to that. Oh well. Next time. :)

I guess this means the store is closing late again. :) :)

Just finished statting and equipping the Tonga Room's opening night entertainment...a female half-elf bard named Miranda Rivers in honor of the cancelled Serenity event.

It was tricky trying to figure out how to apply the Fruity Oaty Bars template, but I think it works... ;)

Hey Buzz, with the Serenity event being cancelled, I think I'd like to flip my events and run the Ghostbusters game in the morning and my D&D game in the afternoon in the private room...

So can you pull the ol' switcheroo on those? Thanks!

NOOOOOOOOOO! Now I have to decide between Pbartender's Iron Heroes and TB42's Ghostbusters.

Who ya gonna call? I DON'T KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :( :( :(

(Loses 1d10 DAN, runs off thinking he is a grizzly bear with laser beams in his eyes)

(returns with a glazed-over look in his eyes, muttering, "maybe I'll just sit in the corner, clutching a Synnibarr book & chanting "MattyHelms....MattyHelms....MattyHelms...." during the morning slot)



:p

Oooh, I want to play in that game!

I have to say...it's hard to argue against pirates, dude.

Although ghosts are pretty cool, too.

You should realize by now that your "god" has abandoned his pantheon, so it's wide open for you to ascend and take that place. ;)

Seriously though, last I heard, Matt gave up gaming and dropped off the radar.
