NC Game Day - Important new info!

[Henry]

If I had it, and were so inclined, I'd run Skull and Bones from Green Ronin, which can do EXACTLY what Lola said, if I recall some info from Chris Pramas correctly. However:

1) I wanna play in a second slot - I'm greedy;

2) I don't have said product.

Green Ronin are a bunch of Lovecraft-obsessed folks - and I for one am glad.

I really hope I'm able to make it to this one -- I've been wanting to go to one of these since they started, but always something (wedding, housebuying, etc.) interfered. I'll try to work up a game to run.

...and Rel and I have been trying to get you to go! It'd be great to meet you, especially since I missed you at Gencon.

I'll try to work up a game to run.

...and we'd be even happier to see you!

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.

I think this sounds like a cool idea, but if the Pirate game goes down as a CoC game, I won't be running it. It's one thing to play a system for the first time at a Game Day. It's another thing entirely to GM a system for the first time.

I'm going to wait a bit before I settle on exactly what I'm running. The only sure thing at the moment is that it will be in the opposite slot from when Henry runs his game since I'll be one of his players. For now, I'm going to forego trying to lay out any sort of schedule until we get a bit more "critical mass" in terms of players and GM's.

One other thing to ponder is that I assume we want to try and do another "Pre Game Day Dinner" the night before. If so, are we content with Applebees or do we want to try for somewhere else?

Pre-Gameday Dinner - YES!

Where? Probably another "Wait and see" question, because that Applebee's didn't look like it could handle a crowd of more than 8 or 10. If we have the same number of turnout as last time, it's Just Right. Otherwise...

I'd like to put out my own request to play in Henry's game, whatever it may be. I'd also like to see a CoC game, be it d20 or Chaosium (actually, I'd prefer Chaosium, but will happily play d20). If they are the same or different games, it really doesn't matter. Heck, I just want to play!

Assuming I can get down in time, I'm interested in dinner. Anywhere is fine by me, but are there any local places that are good? Not that there is anything wrong with Applebee's, but I can eat at one of them here in Charlottesville or just about anyplace in the country. When I'm travelling, I like to try and eat at local restaurants to get a meal that I can't get anywhere else.

Raleigh has some fine restaurants in it. The Flying Saucer is a good brewpub, I think, and then there's Dalat, a rockin' Vietnamese restaurant. (Their Vietnamese subs are astonishingly good, but aren't available at night, I think).

I'm more familiar with Chapel Hill restaurants, unfortunately, and that'd be a bit of a drive.

Well, assuming that Fantasy Flight Games keeps to their release schedule, I was going to offer to run a game of Grimm, which I haven't played (obviously) but which looks to be a lot of fun. I could probably take in about 6 folks, all pre-gen characters.

I'll try and get in touch with Eric (the gent that offered to run CoC before). If he can still run a game, it might make Henry's decision a bit easier.

Oh, and "YAY NC GAMEDAY III!!!!"

I'm rather dubious about the flying saucer after what I heard about their last grade from the health people.

How about Crazy Fire Mongolian Grill? There's one on Buck Jones, and as far as I know, one on Falls of the Neuse (we know how well this scenerio ran last time ).
