KahunaCon '06 July 22nd and 23rd! slots still open! (greater Boston/Providence area)

[Dire Wolf]

I'd be willing to run a D&D 3.5 game during the second slot on Sunday if there was any interest. Lots of options available, but low-level is usually the best for a one-shot IMHO. Let me know if there is any interest and I will put something together.

We have to leave during that time slot so we can't do it.

Are you contradicting the queen?

(Of course, if you do have permission I'm up for most anything )

Nah, we just decided that we can stay til about 6 (he has to work the next day so it's his issue) and therefore can run a game if people want him to.

Course, I'll play

I'm interested in attending, if I can figure out a) which commuter rail stop is closest, and b) how to get to/from the commuter rail station to KB's place. (either via taxi or a ride from a gracious and generous fellow attendee, who I'd be more than happy to ply with some cash for gas money for their troubles).

Here's the thing, though: I've never attended a con/gathering/etc in any way, shape or form before, and I haven't played any of the games that are listed before that still have open slots (although I've heard that Feng Shui is ridiculous amounts of fun), so I'm a bit in the dark about how these things normally proceed, but trying not to be as gunshy about it as I normally would. Any (gentle) suggestions for a first-timer?

Also, to alleviate any fears that KB might have, despite my behavior in the Circvs, I'm *mostly* housebroken.

The commuter rail stop is convieniently labled "Attleboro" on the Attleboro/Stoughton line. (said line splits, so the schedule is a little annoying to read, but not bad.) It is a 10-15 minute walk from my place (they hubby does it every morning and evening) and lies directly on the easiest route from the highway to my house, so I don't anticipate any difficulty getting you here.

speaking only for myself, I don't expect rules familiarity for any of my games. Gemre familiarity is more important. Usually GMs should lable their games "expereinced players only" if thats what they want.

Yeah, right, I think we all know who left that puddle in the Ampitheater.....

Lets see. There are actually a good number of systems I've never played at this gamedays as well.

I can't comment on Alternity or Shadowrun. If a slot opens up, Paranoia is very easy (since you aren't supposed to know the rules anyway). The computer is very gentle. The computer is your friend.

I can't comment on Fuzion or Bash. Feng Shui is very easy to learn, since you just need to be able to describe cool stunts your character does.

I can't comment on Fudge. My Unisystem game is currently full in the morning, but the system is very easy to learn. Players permitting, there will be either an All Flesh Must Be Eaten (unisystem) game or a Star Wars d20 game in the afternoon. Both are easy to learn. And Rob is saying something about D&D in the afternoon.

I can't comment on Fuzion or Bash.

Bash is an insanely simple system, no experience necessary since I can (and will) describe the entire system in about the first 15 minutes of the game.

Hey I'd like to play in the ShadowRun game on Saturday. I've read up on the system some but I' haven't hada chance to play yet

 

[Queenie]

Sean, I haven't played in any of the games I'm signed up for either. *shrug* I assumed that DM would have said they wanted people with experience if they did. I think normally Cons and Game Days are pretty flexible with that stuff.

Sign up for Underoo Avengers with me and KB, we'll hold your hand

I can only speak for Rob (Dire Wolf) as a DM. He's really easy to play with and willing to teach you anything you don't know. He runs an insanely popular dungeon delve at our local con and a very good portion of those people don't have experience. If enough people are interested he'll run something 3.5 in that last slot.

Says the woman who may be playing the "Bully" character.

These are the character bios from the last (North East) Underoo Avengers game, although there may have been changes

Here are the character bios for Underoo Avengers! Please post your responses in the thread so that everyone will know what has been taken. If you want to e-mail me, just use the ENWorld e-mail funciton. I don't have these in electronic format, yet, so you probably won't see the sheet until gameday.

The cast of kids:

* Yamka (Lily) O'Riely [The Bully]: Yamka (Lily) O'Riely is a solidly built Native American girl who was abandoned by her birth parents for mysterious reasons. She was taken in by two loving parents of Irish descent and has stuck out like a sore thumb ever since. Lily is the tallest girl in the fourth grade and has broader shoulders than most men. She is not the traditional bully in the sense that she does not beat everyone to a pulp, but she is accustomed to being in charge and she's not afraid to use her fists to stay in charge. Super powers include the ability to Smite Weaklings, taunt opponents, and super human strength.
Famous Quote: “I punch it in the head!”

* Jillian Snow [Dreamer]: Jillian Snow is a normally a sweet, absent minded little girl, but she has a temper that will literally blow you away. She was taken out of public school when she was seven to be home schooled by her mother, who didn't believe that public school was liberal enough. Most of her school time is spent staring idly out the window and letting her imagination run wild. Something about the complete control that she has over every detail of her imaginary worlds makes it difficult to cope with events when they don't go her way. Therefore, she tends to throw tantrums over things that may seem trivial to others, like not being first in line, or not getting the red pony. Jillian always feels guilty about these episodes and apologizes profusely for the outburst. Super powers include the ability to heal wounds and to telekenetically hurl objects and enemies.

* Artie (Art) Miller [The Jock]: Artie (Art) Miller is probably best described as "out of place." He spent most of his life in Britain, but his father is on assignment with a giant software company in the City, and Art and his siblings are along for the ride. Unfortunately, Art's displacement is not solely geographic. His ears are too big, his nose too wide, his grin too crooked and his arms too long, plus he's not exactly the brightest kid on the block, but he's extremely good at what he does. Art is a master of all sports, especially cricket, which he considers to be the greatest game ever conceived. Once started on the subject, he usually begins with a wistful discussion of its beauties and ends (some time later) with a broken rendition of God Save the Queen. Super powers include a ten foot reach, a devastating cricket bat attack, and the feared blazing slam, which rockets flaming cricket balls at enemies.

* Brady Poindexter [The Nerd]: Brady Poindexter is an average kid, as far as child geniuses go. He started consuming information about engineering and mechanics at the age of three, and since then he has spent countless hours in his invention workshop cobbling together all sorts of crazy creations. His personality tends towards aloofness since he's both smarter and richer than everyone at his private school. Brady's mother is the CEO of a major media company in the City, making Brady the heir to quite a fortune. There's something about his greased back hair and up-turned nose that makes him a target for bullies, but his impeccable logic and fascinating gadgets tend to defuse most situations before anything becomes too dangerous. Super powers include the ability to create clockwork creatures to do his bidding and he can speak to all types of mechanical machinery.

* Jared Dorf [The Outcast]: Jared Dorf was cursed from birth, or at least, that's what he thinks. With perhaps the worst last name in the The City's elementary school, Jared is resigned to being "The Dorf" for life. His outlook is one of odd duality: that everyone is out to get him and that nobody cares. So, in general, he doesn't care either. His dispassionate parents and hard life on the street have given him a much harsher outlook on life than the other kids, and tougher skin than most adults. One day, however, he will be a super-secret ninja-spy and the bad guys of the world will tremble before "The Dorf." Super powers include the Super-Secret-Ninja-Strike, which harms and potentially stuns enemies, and the ability to climb on almost any surface, much like a spider.

Cheers!
