NC GAME DAY II (Aug 23): Man, was that fun or what?!

[Rel]

Well... it looks like all hopes for transportation have evaporated for me. Guess I will have to catch you guys at the next GameDay

That's a bummer to hear, drowdude. Tell you what, I'm going to leave you on the schedule for a bit longer. You never know if somebody else from Fayetteville might decide to sign on and could give you a ride.

Speaking of which, have you heard from Mulkhoran lately? He gave you a ride last time, right? I was curious since he was so involved with NCGDI but hadn't chimed into this thread.

 

[drowdude]

Mulk has been crazy busy lately... He just recently purchased a new home, and related issues have been absorbing most of his free time.

Hopefully things will be less hectic for him next time a GameDay rolls around

 

[Corlon]

oh yeah, peopel who want to do stuff should be posting shouldn't they...

I'd like to play in something, been caught up in stuff so I haven't been posting in this thread.

These threads always confuse me,
So there's Orcz which is full
Brikwars
Planescape which is full

second slot is
M&M which I have no idea what it is besides the very obvious
And a 3E forgotten realms with an open slot.

Is this correct?


The 3E forgotten realms against all ooze sounds pretty cool.

and about brikwars, is this a modified with no legos, Jeph, are you providing the legos, or what?

I'm really tired, so I hope some of this makes sense, sorry if it doesn't, at least I'm posting

 

[Templetroll]

Templetroll, the 7th slot is yours - since you're such a good friend and all, seeing as how I've known you a whole four hours, and stuff.

Calloo Callay, oh frabjous day! I chortle in my joy! I was prepared to raise a hue and cry with Huzzahs, etc. to attract your attention. I'm grateful I won't have to do that

Only one problem: Will Mrs. Troll be attending too? I don't want to leave someone out, but 8 players would be a bit too much of a stretch, on the other hand.

Alas, foul work for her IS Saturday and the odds of her cretin of a boss giving her a day off are less than nil. You might get the hint that I hold him in a bit of disdain...

looking forward to seeing folks again, and gaming such good games.

I'll sign you up now, Corlon. You (and/or Jeph) let me know if I should officially put you down for the Brikwars game.

This also signals the point at which every game is FULL. If we are going to hope to attract any more folks to Game Day, we're going to need an extra GM. So if any of you have ideas rattling around in your heads about a game you could run in 4-5 hours, jump on in.

IMPORTANT EDIT: I just noticed while browsing back over the thread that I had forgotten to add jlhorner1974 to NCSUCodeMonkey's game in the afternoon. He had actually requested this slot before I took one so I'm going to bow out and put him in there instead.

What this means is that I'm also going to offer to run Orcz again in the afternoon. If I don't get any takers, or if somebody else signs up to run a game, we'll go from there.

 

[jlhorner1974]

Thanks, Rel. I don't think my wife will be able to attend.

By the way, I created my own Challenge of Champions-style adventure for my previous D&D campaign. For those who have never played one, it's sort of like a D&D-themed Olympics of puzzle solving and brain teasers. Since all of the puzzles can be solved without combat or skill use, the contest can be run wtih characters of any level.

Would anyone be interested in playing an adventure like this if I could run it?

Just looking at the way that many folks are signed up, there seems to be small number of people playing in both the morning and the afternoon (assuming everyone is there the whole day). That number, combined with whoever happens to show up without posting here is probably going to add up quickly. Perhaps if someone was willing to run a game that would be more "drop in"? Last time Quasqueton's tournament game picked up people that came in without signing up.

Also, don't forget David's Settlers game. I think he said something about being able to support 6 people?

jlhorner1974's "Challenge of Champions" game sounds like it could be just the ticket for this.

I have no problem getting to campus, but what then? Where do I park? How do I get to the building from the parking area?

I once went to NCSU's library to spend all my quarters copying books older than I am... I still have nightmares about trying to navigate the campus. *whimpers* Mommy!

 

[Hand of Vecna]

Fear not, Citizens, for the Hand of Vecna works at the NCSU Library, and can show ye the way!

Parking will be easiest to find on Hillsborough St. itself, and I'm almost 100% certain the Meter Maids do not ticket people on the weekends. All on-campus parking requires permits, and so is not a valid option.

As for getting to the Talley Student Center -- once you've parked on Hillsborough St., go ye to the Library (a 9-story building with lots of antennae on it). The side of the Library facing Hillsborough St. is the front, but there are no entrances there -- the entrances are around the back, on the 'Brickyard' side. Go ye to the 'Brickyard' side (so named b/c it's a yard completely covered in brick -- if the NCSU Higher-Ups could find a way to make bricks sprout leaves, they'd replace all the trees). Stand so that ye Library is behind thee, and afore ye shall be Harrelson Hall, a circular 3-story building (and not at all an alien spacecraft docking bay). Walk past the right side of Harrelson, and you will come to Dabney Hall (a nine-story building, on your left). Walk past it, and ye shall come to the "Free Expression Tunnel" -- a grafitti-filled tunnel that goes under a set of train tracks. Go through Ye Tunnel of Free Expressions, and when ye exit, in front of ye shall be the NCSU Bookstore. To the left of the Bookstore is the Talley Student Center (it's near a large water fountain). Go into Talley, and listen for the sounds of gaming....

Here is a map of the NCSU campus -- Hillsborough St., the DH Hill Library, Harrelson Hall, and Dabney Hall are all on North Campus, and the NCSU Bookstore & the Talley Student Center are all on Central Campus.
