NC Game Day - Important new info!

[Cthulhu's Librarian]

CL, in all probablility you can park fairly close to the front of the student center. There are parking spaces along the road onto campus and I've never had any problems finding one open (then again, I've showed up about half an hour early for both previous game days). If those spaces are not open, there is a parking deck just a short walk away. All of this will be illustrated on the map that I post a bit later (assuming nobody beats me to it).

I don't have a cell phone but I'll try and sweet talk my wife out of hers for Friday night and Saturday.

Sounds good. I'm sure I'll be able to find something, and if I have to pay at the parking deck, no big deal.

I'm staying at a Motel 6 thats about 5 miles away from both the restaurant & NC State. I should have no problems finding either, so if you don't get a phone, no worries.

See everyone tomorrow night!

Need Directions?

I've added a link to the NC Game Day page that will allow you to either get a map or get directions from Yahoo! Maps (Mapquest can't find the Talley Student Center, I tried it). If you're interested in checking it out:

See you guys on Saturday!

If I'm not already in the room we'll be dining in or standing near the front door, you'll find me across the shopping center at Fallen Orc Games. Stop there for all your last minute gaming needs.

Does Fallen Orc Games have a website? I'll probably be getting into town around 4:30-5pm, checking into the motel, then killing an hour or two. Might as well be a game store.

Rel, is there a picture of you online so I can keep my eyes open for you before dinner? I'm in this one from the ENWorld Member Gallery. I'm the guy not in costume.

Important other news: I just spoke to Raven on the phone and his company is forcing him to work on Saturday to make up for time missed due to the snow/ice storm. BUT, he thinks he can rework his hours that day in order to still be at the Game Day on time to run his AU game in the afternoon. He wanted me to let the players know that he might be a couple minutes late but he is still coming. He's going to try and send the character sheets along with me so that you can sort that part out while you're waiting for him if he winds up being late by 15-20 minutes.

That all sounds fine except for the fact that his game is currently scheduled for the morning unless I missed something somewhere (which we all know is entirely possible). If he's resheduling to the afternoon, I'll need to drop out as I'm committed to piloting an airship in the martian highlands at that time.

Sadly, that'll also leave me without a game in the morning.

Damn. I was hoping you were the one in the middle.

As far as I know, Fallen Orc does not have a website. The guy who runs the place is named William and he's pretty nice. There tends to be a small pack of folks playing Magic or other collectable card game there in the afternoons so if you're into any of that you might be able to rustle up a game.

As for what I look like: "About 5'8", sweater-vest, devastatingly handsome..." oh, wait, that's actually Ferris Bueller. Hang on while I check my wardrobe...hmm, I think I'll wear blue jeans, a grey sweater with gold and burgundy squares on it and a black leather coat. I'm about 6 feet tall and fairly slim with dark hair. I'm a totally generic white dude possibly with wife and daughter in tow.

Here's what I look like; I'm on the left. My lovely and talented wife, sadly, won't be attending.

By my long red hair shall ye know me.

OY! I messed that up but good!

I had not finished my coffee this morning when he called me and I somehow thought his game was in the PM.

Crap. (I know that saying "Crap" is not very useful right now but I'm buying time while I try to think of something that will get us out of this fix.)

Double crap...

Ok, all I can offer for the moment is this: Raven told me when he was (correctly it turns out) thinking that he was going to be unable to run the game that he'd be happy to offer it to somebody else to run. The adventure is complete and ready to run and the characters are pre-made. Anybody feel like taking up that challenge?

Otherwise I'm down to only two other suggestions:

1) Somebody offers to run another adventure they've got.

or

2) The folks in Raven's game check with the Trinocon folks to see if there are any slots open in the games they've been organizing.

Any thoughts on any of this? (This would be a particularly good time for Spider to take my flattery to heart and decide that a year is WAY too long to wait to run his Spycraft game).

Important Notice

Raven's AU game is officially scrubbed. All is not lost however. There are a host of other events taking place during that time slot that should provide ample entertainment for those of you cast adrift by the cruel hand of bad weather. Check out the schedule over at:

http://ncgameday.dhorizon.org/schedule.php

There are three RPGA games going on right there in the Walnut Room with us. Also, Neal has mentioned to me that the Iron Claw RPG going on in the Brown Room is fun and the person running the game is an outstanding GM for that system. There are also plenty of board games going on including Talsiman (which I know Jon had expressed interest in previously). And of course the aforementioned possibility that somebody within this group of players might wish to run a game of their own.

I sincerely hope that one or more of these options are attractive to you. This is where our teaming with Trinocon has really paid off and given us lots more options than we've ever had before when this sort of thing crops up.

So is there really an opening in the morning Shadowrun game? I've never played although I own the first printing of the game (the one put out by FASA) and have always had a hankering to play a street samurai and/or a troll.

So... if there's really an open slot and Clueless doesn't mind holding my hand a little, I'd love to jump on that game.

As far as I know right now there is So you should round things out a bit. So - street sam or troll... how about troll street sam?
SR's pretty flexible on what you can come up with - so if you've got other ideas let me know.
