Hmmm, didn't see that. If the Steading is an all day affair, then I'm out (please remove me). I want to run something. I would love to play in the game but I want to play more than one game on Gameday.
Put my Hard Rain game in the AM and we'll see if we get any takers, thanks. We've had tremendus success with these games at Origins & GenCon so I know they are a lot of fun. If I don't get 3 players, I'll run Be a Hero with however many there are, and if there aren't any I'll drink coffee, get wired, and silently heckle the Cthulhu players.
I'll then hop onto Quickbeam's d20 Modern game (see if I can get any ideas for my Darkstreets Gothic Nanopunk HERO game) in the afternoon.

Well, before I move anyone, and have to move them again, let's sort out the "Steading" situation, and see what's going to happen with it. I'll give it a few days before I move anyone...

Hi there. Several of the guys in the Steading adventure are in my game group and only very rarely get out to the EnWorld site. Two of them signed up for Steading thinking it was a half a day session, not a full-day session.
Seeing as it is an all-day game, I contacted Thoraxe and Tyrwyth. Both indicated that they would rather play different games for the Morning and Evening session. So if Steading remains an all-day game, they would rather sign up for something else. I hope this helps.
Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks.

Just a quick bump, at least until the "Steading Situation" is resolved...

I apologize for the delay in posting a response. I like playing PC in the 4 to 8th level area. I'm also all good with whatever type of story you want to run. I look for engaging stories with unforseen plot twists, but then again a lot of action is fun too.

While I've already stated my preference for character level, I will happily chime in on the the two topics:
Game type -- I prefer some mystery and intrigue versus a straight up find/rescue the whatever/whomever style mission. I also tend to prefer adventures with changing scenery, which means I'm in favor of starting in location A and being forced to travel to locations B and C to complete the task at hand.
Favorite sessions -- One was actually your Whispering Woodwinds module as run by Crothian during the inaugural Columbus Gameday. There was some mystery, changing locales, interesting NPCs and a good storyline. Crothian did a nice job running the game, but most of all it was the character interplay that made the session so enjoyable. IMO, that factor alone can make or break most sessions.
Another good session was early on in RttToEE when our group first stumbled into Hommlet and then moved along to the Moathouse. Fun stuff...although that adventure became tedious after awhile.

FWIW, I think all day sessions are great. But...
...that said, I personally believe they run in conflict with some of the most attractive aspects of a Gameday. These events are perfect forums for meeting and gaming with new people, experiencing different styles of GMing a session, and experimenting with different game systems/worlds.
Perhaps the adventure can be partially abbreviated, or run over two separate Gameday events. I know the latter option is somewhat complicated, but I have seen this done with encouraging results. Posting the event to cover two entire time slots is fine (and will probably be a great game), but it may cost you several players interested in exploring other options.
Either way good luck, I'm sure this will work out just fine!
