Chicago Gameday XVI: the aftermath!

[rvalle]

hehehe...just wait until you see what your brother is capable of doing now...

You're going to be so jealous.

Yeah? But can he cook?

I thought not.

I thought not.

You'll just have to wait and see...

Well I knew that this Game Day was going too easily, and Mr. Murphy has arrived promptly to kick me in the dice sack. Something having nothing to do with gaming anf fun has come up as a problem that I need to take care of, and of course it has come up smack dab in the middle of Saturday.

"Luckily" I have managed to push it a bit back so that it ruins only one of my games and not both. This means I will not be able to run SPIRIT OF THE CENTURY. So BIG apologies out to waterdhavian, rvalle, inundator, "Chuck" and Der Spot, for the inconvienence. Hopefully someone will be able to step up and run something else or that several games could maybe fit an extra seat at the table.

There's a small, small chance I could make the event, but I think it is safer and wiser to bow out now, with the hopes that something else can fill the space rather then take a chance.

Sorry to one and all.

(Buzz, obviously you should take my dibs on the big back table for your game.)

I hate that Murphy. Someone, for once, needs to kick him in the dice sack.

Stink! Sorry that you have to bow out, and apologies to waterdhavian, rvalle, inundator, "Chuck" and Der Spot.

If there are any morning GM's who'd be willing to run their event again, or other folk who'd like to step in and pinch-hit, it would be appreciated.

Also, if any afternoon GMs can squeeze and extra seat or two into their event, that would rock.

...here's a touch of back story: The mystic artifact Valkyrie wields is her Axe- -which she found as a student intern on an archeology dig. Her "secret identity" is Deanna-Maria Velasquez... ..so yes, she's a Hispanic Viking. Have a party with it. *g*

[Monty Python]

Nobody expects the Hispanic Viking!

Er, maybe that's stretching it a bit...

I've just noticed a bit of a scheduling problem. To get to Mount Prospect I need to take the Metra Northwest line, and the earliest I could possibly arrive would be 9:11 am. Counting time to find the game store and get situated, that means I probably couldn't get to gaming until, say, 9:30, which is 30 minutes after the start time listed here. What do I need to do? I'm in the Call of Cthulhu game in the morning - should I drop out of that spot, or is there a better way to get to Mount Prospect from Loyola University without access to a car?

 

[waterdhavian]

Hmmm. This is indeed unfortunate. I was planning to be at both games, I am providing a ride for a couple of people who will be there all day. Kelleris I would offer you a seat in my car, but I'm not sure I will be there till 9pm if I dont have a game.

Well theres still time for ole Murphy to kick someone else in the dice bag, so if a game frees up in the afternoon, I'll take it.

Kelleris email sent, might be able to help you out.

 

[Ninjacat]

thanks for the welcome ninjacat, I'm excited Never played a superhero RPG before...is there any section in particular you think it would be useful to look at before gameday ninjacat, or is it straightforward enough that I should have fun regardless?

Oh, absolutely plan on the having fun regardless scenario. Superheroes aren't exactly a difficult concept to grasp, and M&M is truly a streamlined system. It's d20, but they've modified a few bits so that you only need ONE d20 to play. That's it. Combat is streamlined, and the wacky part is: there's no hit points. It's designed to flow like a comic book fight, the heroes go and go and go, despite getting the snot beat out of them, until finally they drop. It is NOT hard at all, just a bit unusual when you're used to systems with HPs, like, uh, every other d20 system out there.

So, you might want to look over the combat section, particularly the damage details, but it is most certainly NOT needed. And everything I ever run EVER is fast & loose with the rules anyway. I'm a firm believer in the "if you're having fun, you're doing it right" gaming philosophy.

See you Saturday!

 

[enigma1122]

I really hate to do this, especially seeing that I thought I had done it already. But apparently my niece's first birthday party is Saturday, as well as my other niece's confirmation. So... yeah.... I really can't make it. Which really breaks me up. So I have to be pulled out of my Mutants, and D and D game.
