NC Game Day - Important new info!

[Templetroll]

I have one question, however, open to Anyone, regardless of whether you are playing in this game: The totem warrior will have a pet. A BIG one. How many people think that playing the totem warrior's animal as their main character (a creature with as much combat ability as most of the fighters) would be an interesting option? Or would it suck?

In any event, I will have the pet played by someone other than the warrior (a hint I picked up from Pkitty concerning familiars) but was wondering if it was sufficient roleplaying challenge to someone besides me (since I'm biased)?

My daughter has played various animals that are intelligent and usually spellcasters of one kind or another. She has had horrid luck with regular characters. She loves to react and roleplay the proper behavior of the animals with the heightened intelligence to modify it. Her sorcerer owl was crafty and made good use of silent movement and attacks that the foe could not be certain came from her; her druidic sabre-toothed tiger is a hoot to be with, with serious attitude! She also likes to play against expectations, recently she had one of the party members buy her a sheep, not to rip into as a meal but as a pet! It's her animal friend, so she has someone else to talk to other than the party members.

I'd get a kick out of playing something like that, it would be a challange and perfect for a Game Day. Others probably would also.

Thanks, T. My final answer is to have all 7 characters ready to go; if someone feels like not playing anything complicated, one option will be to let them play the 4-feet tall wolverine (oops - wasn't supposed to let that slip! ) as their main character; otherwise, I'll get whoever feels bold enough to roleplay the animal companion.

I was thinking that our event was becoming so popular that it was drawing folks in from the left coast! Oh well.

With phrases like that, I've got to ask you what you listen to on the radio, sometime.

We'll have to handle that in person, Henry. I can't very well go talking politics and get the bloody Game Day thread locked, can I? I'll only say that one of my best friends lives in Cali, refers to it as "the left coast" and did NOT vote for the current governor. I was thinking it was common parlance.

Bad news about my CoC game

Hey all,

Matt let me know there were some questions about the CoC game. Sorry it's taken me so long to respond. I've been in the hospital and having connectivity problems. The good news is I'll be home by Christmas, and my computer is fixed.

The bad news is that I'll be back in for surgery sometime in the first half of January. Based on that, I expect my mobility to still be severely limited by the time Game Day gets here. I'm going to have to postpone my game until the spring Game Day. I promise I'll make it up to you then.

Please go ahead and sell my seat in the Shadowrun game, too. If I'm sufficiently mobile, I might drop by Saturday night dinner and hear about all the fun, but I'll have to play that by ear. Everybody have a great time for me, and I'll see you all again at the spring Game Day. Meanwhile, I'll be lurking...

[LGodamus]

well crud, I hope you get to feelin better Baron...good luck with the surgery

 

[Toras]

Hope you get well soon Baron.

Please sign me up for Raven's AU game.
Question for the GM, will you be doing pregen, or do we need to make characters for that.

Since the COC game has been rescheduled, I decided to throw my GM hat into the ring. I know very few of you have any idea who I am, but I figure it couldn't hurt to offer. Looking for at most 5-6 players for the game.

Idea 1: God-like "D-Day: Omaha, Bloody Omaha"
-Characters would be pregenerated
-Intro to a very rich system
-High Casuality fun for everybody

Idea 2: Deadlands Game "Return to the Alamo"
-Characters can either be created or pregen.
-Popular system, fun mechanics
-Zombies (Always fun)

Idea 3: Werewolf 3rd ed ("Wolves go to Town: New York")
-White wolf really hasn't been represented here yet
-Characters can be created, I will have extras for those new to the system.

So what say all of you.
