NC Game Day - Important new info!

[Rel]

I was prompted by the lovely Lola to go ahead and get this thread started. I won't be around much for the next couple of days because I've got a lot of work to do, but if folks want to go ahead and start tossing out ideas for games and such, feel free.

Because things tend to get hectic around the holidays, we may be well served by trying to get most of the organizational stuff taken care of before mid-December. As it stands, we've got the Walnut Room (where NC Game Day I was held) so we should have plenty of room for at least 5 games to run simultaneously.

Looking forward to it.

[Henry]

I SHALL BE THERE, BY GOD, AND I SHALL BE DM'ING!!!!

Or, to put it another way, DM'ing and playing.

For my slot on the game day, I prefer to run games that people have not gotten a chance to try. I will post a few game ideas, and see which one people bite for the most. You can either post in this thread, or more preferably to me, e-mail me at henrythelesser@yahoo.com - that will keep thread clutter down.

My inclinations are for one of the following:

1. Call of Cthulhu d20 - "The Inheritors" (players are named as inheritors in a will)
2. d20 Modern - "Green to a Fault" (players are on a Gov't "monster-hunting" strike force)
3. Monte Cook's Arcana Unearthed - "The Dramojh kur'Na'Safei" (details to be determined)
4. Star Wars d20 - "The Corulag Incident" (players are on a diplomatic mission in the New Jedi Order Era)

All of the above are adventures I have run for my players in the past; We have not yet tried Monte Cook's AU, but should there be interest in running it for the Game Day, I shall be running some playtests.

Let me know what you think! It's fun to run a game you've never tried, and even more fun to meet the awesome people that show up at ENWorld Gamedays! I've made some great acquaintences, and every new Gameday, I hope to see someone from the boards I've never yet met in person.

Come on to Raleigh, people! Admission is freebie, and there's nothing to fear, but fear itself! (And Great Cthulhu, of course)...

 

[Ruined]

I'm all for trying out an AU game Henry. And since I've missed your games in both of the previous Game Days, I'd definitely try for it.

 

[Rel]

Monte Cook's Arcana Unearthed - "The Dramojh kur'Na'Safei" (details to be determined)

Thread clutter be damned, I have yet to play in one of Henry's games and I won't miss this opportunity. I've read AU and I'm itching to play it. But I like all your other alternatives too. If you wind up running a different game, I'll play in that one.

I'm sure I'll also be running a game but I haven't decided on the details yet. I'm leaning toward a "piratesque" game to satisfy Lola, but we'll see.

Oh and by the way, Ruined One, I'm no longer working for my former employer so I'm not as geographically close to you as I was before, but I'd still like to do another lunch sometime.

 

[Henry]

Hey, Rel, RuinedOne - happy to have you!

And Rel, I hope all is still well with you in the land of jobs and honey?

 

[Cthulhu's Librarian]

Thread clutter be damned, I have yet to play in one of Henry's games and I won't miss this opportunity.

I've already emailed Henry with my vote (CoC d20), but thought I'd post it here as well. I'm up for playing just about anything he wants to run, but thats my first choice.

Barring a snowstorm here in VA the weekend of the gameday, I'll be making the drive down.

 

[Rel]

And Rel, I hope all is still well with you in the land of jobs and honey?

I got unceremoniously fired. It would have been a bitter blow except that within an hour I managed to go to work for my best friend (Speaks With Stone) for better money and getting to work exclusively from home. If only I had high speed internet access at the house, life would be perfect.

I get high speed internet access on Wednesday.

As for the honey, I'm diabetic so I try to keep it to a minimum.

 

[Clueless]

I believe there was someone who said if I did SR that he would do CoC. I mention this b/c it might change some of the CoC plans as stated above. In either case, darnitall I wanna play CoC regardless of which GM is running it. I personally would prefer the d20 version, I feel it's a fairly good system for the setting, and well... I already have a character written up for it.

To continue though - I'll toss Shadowrun into the mix here.

3rd ed, ~6 players
I'll be setting up a webpage later to provide more details, but heres what I currently have:

1) 3rd ed, basic book. Anythign more run it by me so I can find a copy of it to look at. I will provide a handful of pre-gen characters on the webpage mentioned above. *However*, you can take these characters as is, take them and modify them slightly, or make up your own entirely. So long as I get them in my sweaty little paws *before* game day. I will not generate characters at the table.

2) Deckers: You will need to have skill selections outside of decking as well. You will be in the field, under fire with the team, not curled up with a latte at your favorite coffee house jacked in. Also take a note, use the game rules to create - but don't be surprised if there's heavy improv once you jack in. I personally detest the way some of the rules for deckers are written, and I like to get more flavor into my decking. Must be the programmer in me shining through. If no one wants to play decker, that's fine as well - I'll account for it in the plot.

3) Riggers: Aim your drone creation along the lines of courier or smuggler runs. The major vehicle will be provided, so don't waste your funds on suping up a limo city based get-away car.

 

[Lola]

Maybe some of the ideas here can be combined into a CoC pirate game? Like "Pirates of the Carribean" with less Depp and more elder gawds. Or maybe I just need to have my coffee before I start posting in the morning.
