Indeed, the Dragon Club is working on something for the spring semester, including one event with multiple rounds and tables with one big story, inspired by the "crazy idea for GenCon '04" thread. Hopefully we'll have something concrete for the Gameday.
 

Wil-

Any more specifics on Midnight character creation guidelines, like stats, equipment, spells, etc? Or will we go with pregens?
 

Wil,

When do you need our Midnight characters by? I take it that sooner is better, but I'm not certain I can get to it until I return to Texas (around Sept. 8th or so)... If you need it sooner I'll see if I can put something together sooner for you.

Thanks,
Joseph
 

Sure guys, I'd appreciate you making your own characters. 12th-level, 32 point stat buy, standard Midnight treasure levels (20-25% normal, mostly wrapped up in a single covenant item that can have discovered no more than 4 powers).

Other than that feel free to use whatever you like, though if you get crazy with strange feats and such I may alter them before the game. :)
 

Alright, hopefully this isn't getting irritating, but you can blame 3.5:

I'm looking at making a Seer. What do I do about all the abilities that require Scry checks?

What about Animal Empathy on the Channeler list?
 

Channeler (actually I'd probably rule that only spiritual channelers get it) gets wild empathy as a class ability at 1st level.

I only see one ability that requires a Scry check. ;) That will change to a channeler level check (1d20 + channeler level + spellcasting stat modifier).
 

Just an FYI:

It looks like we're going to have at least one to two RPGA Living Greyhawk games playing at the store on Saturday the 27th as well. If anyone is interesting getting even more gaming in I'll be posting that sign up page at the Yahoo discussion board:

There's going to be lots and lots of gaming that weekend! :D

Hello, Texas Gamers. I'm the guy who's coordinated the two NC Game Days so far and I wanted to pop in and drop a couple of small lessons I've learned that you're welcome to take or leave:

1) Make note of the e-mail addresses of all the people in the games you are running. If you are a player, make note of the e-mail address of all the GM's you are playing under. We had a situation where ENWorld went down just a day or so before Game Day while we still had a few outstanding issues to iron out. Fortunately it was back up in time for us to coordinate a few last minute details but if it hadn't, we'd have had a few problems communicating with each other.

2) Maybe plan a dinner before and/or after the Game Day. Some of the best times we've had have been getting to know each other outside the games themselves. Plus, a post-game wrap up dinner is a great time to hear the stories of what happened in the games you didn't participate in.

3) Make sure that at least a couple people bring a copy of the schedule. This is obvious of course, but I screwed up and left mine at home so I felt like it was worth mentioning.

4) If most folks are planning to bring their lunch or grab something quick nearby the venue where the Game Day is being held, you could try watching The Gamers video at lunch time. We had somebody bring a television and DVD player and watched it while we had lunch (it's only about 45 minutes long). It is tremendously funny, hits way too close to home and I think it's more fun to watch with a big group of gamers.

5) If possible, have somebody take pictures. We had this at the first game day and the guy taking the pictures even took pictures of everybody's dice and then set up a game of "Who's Dice Are These". It was a lot of fun to look back after the fact and see how much fun everybody was having in the pictures. For the second Game Day, that same guy couldn't bring his camera and we didn't have a backup. We'll remedy that next time.

6) GM's may want to keep a pad handy and write down those memorable gaming moments or quotes as they happen. The laugh out loud funny moments at the NC Game Days have been too numerous to count. We wish in retrospect that we had written down a few more of them to recount to the folks who were playing in other games at the time.

I haven't read the whole thread, so if some or all of this has already been stated, sorry for the redundancy. I hope everything goes smoothly and you all have a great time!
