MAN! That was quick! Okay.
I'll take an afternoon slot (they seem to be free).
I'm running a Dark*Matter game. I'm torn between using d20 Modern rules or Alternity rules. I think I'd prefer to run Alternity, just to be strange and different, though if there are tremendous objections, I can always just convert what I have in mind to work with d20 Modern.
I'll either be running Raw Recruits (the adventure from Alternity D*M that ISN'T Exit 23) or part of The Killing Jar, a pretty sweet module for D*M.

I agree to a certain extent; I remember the morning slot was pretty loud. Nonetheless, I want to err on the side of accommodating our GM volunteers and our growing number of regular attendees, both in terms of selection and available seats. More attendees is obviously also good for Games Plus.Reidzilla said:
One idea is to reduce the number of seats in your event from 6-7 to 4-5. This allows us to strike a pretty good balance in slots with more than six events. Not to mention, I think games with fewer players run a little more smoothly, and each player gets more attention. I doubt I'll ever run another event with more than six seats.
Another idea is to physically separate the events more. At least, we could put an event at the far tall table and purposely keep the near tall table empty. Or maybe the event with the most seats gets the private room.
Or, just be courteous of your fellow gamers and be willing to ask politely for groups to reduce their noise level.
Honestly, I don't know where the default six players per event came from. I inherited it.

I heard a rumor that there might be a Synnibar event at this gameday...(Don't worry, Kent, I won't cry much if you don't want to run it.)
However, I think that I would like to run something in the afternoon. It'll be D&D, and it will probably feature the greatest master chef ever...

Holy spamolians, this thread is filling up like last time's sign-up thread did, geeze!
Though maybe that means sign-up will be calm? Heh.
ANYWAY, Buzz, I think I'd like to run another WitchCraft: Supernatural game this time. I wouldn't normally run the same thing two GameDays in a row, but the new actual Supernatural RPG from Weiss Games will be out and ready for me to pick up this time around! I had a player or three express interest in playing a SPN game again, and I worry that the official version will make much of what I did with my WitchCraft version either moot or non-workable. I'm sure adaptations can (and will! *g*) be made, but I'd like to give it one last huzzah before making that choice, regardless.
So, if I could take that last morning slot for a WitchCraft(SPN) game, that'd be great, but I'm more than willing to step down if there's other GMs who need space in a slot. I'm sure I'll be running official Supernatural games in the future, so it's no biggie either way.
Thanks!

Uh... Wow...
I was going to run a game of Dread in the afternoon, but it looks like the roster is pretty much full up already... Just under two hours until 5 morning events and 6 evening events.

Orichalcum and I would each like to run a game; I think Orichalcum has said that she would like to run a D&D game.
I'm not sure what game I'd like to run. I might run a 6 player D&D game; I could also run Dogs in the Vineyard, but I won't run Dogs for more than 4 players. (The ruleset doesn't work well for large groups.) Why don't you put me down for the morning and Orichalcum for the afternoon, with my system TBD?
ETA: I realize that I just grabbed the last slots currently listed, but PBartender, I'd love to play Dread. If a slot opens up through a cancellation, I really encourage you to run it.
