NC Game Day - Important new info!

[TogaMario]

sweeeeeeeeeet

As long as that isn't the weekend we're doing inventory at RadioShack ... I'm in! Any one of Henry's DMing jobs will be fine with me Always a riot! I apologize for not making it to the last event...I'm still kicking myself for it.

Can't wait to hear more, and yes Rel, Applebees is a great choice, but I can eat anything.

 

[Rel]

Come on people, opinions?

Sorry I haven't been around much the past few days. Had to finish a rather tricky assignment for work.

I see that my mall idea didn't exactly "capture the imagination of a generation" and, like I said, that's fine. I'm really fine with wherever we wind up going so long as the place is inclusive enough not to require everyone to be 21 and the atmosphere is quiet enough to let me hear the wisdom of our soft-spoken Henry over the din.

On to matters of gaming, I'm strongly considering trying my hand at running a d20 Modern game. I don't actually own the system yet but I've taken a look at the SRD and I'm thinking there might be an early Christmas present for me later today when I go by the local gaming store.

I'm thinking of running a victorian space opera set on Mars in a setting along the lines of Space: 1889 but with the focus of the story being somewhat piratical. Think "Treasure Planet" without the cute robots or surfing (or, if that idea is repellent to you, don't think it). I'll have 4 or 5 slots, pre-gen characters and it will probably be relatively low level, say around 3rd-5th.

So at this point, I'm ready to start making at least the rudiments of a schedule. Since I know I'll be playing in Henry's game and my skills don't extend to playing a game and running a game simultaneously, we'll be running games in opposite slots. This prompts the question: Do you want to run your game in the morning or evening, Henry?

Once I have that answer, I'll proceed to create the skeleton of our schedule.

 

[Henry]

I ran Gameday I in a morning slot, and Gameday II in an evening slot, so I'll be capricious (I am a Capricorn, after all) and pick the morning slot again.

TO ALL CONCERNED: I'm leaning strongly enough towards it to say that I will run an Arcana Unearthed game. I did some more reading late last night *yawn* *stretch* and got fired up about running a game in this awesome system!

The adventure, "The Dramojh kur'Na'Safei," will be a 6-slot game, using pre-generated PC's, and will be geared toward teaching people the basics of Arcana Unearthed, but my goal is to still make it involving enough for someone who has already played the system. If you've heard the hype, and want a taste of the real thing, SIGN UP!!!!!

For Restuaruants: My preference will be (1) Applebee's, followed by (2) this mysterious "Barbecue Lodge". Applebee's did right by me last time, but I vaguely seem to remember a few people that got shorted because they were out of some things at the time (a Friday night, no less!)

Woot!

Hey Clueless!

I was the one who said I'd run Call of Cthulhu if you'd run Shadowrun. I'm still good for it if you are.

The adventure is a little nasty of my own devising, using the Chaosium rules (most recent edition). Any takers?

 

[Speaks With Stone]

I'd love to play in the Arcana Unearthed game, Henry.

I'd also like to play in the Grimm game if that works out. That sounds like a lot of fun.

If scheduling does not allow for both, I can bring a board game for general play called Civilization. I haven't played in ages and it's a lot of fun in that players are wheeling and dealing on the various resource cards. Just a thought.

As to restaurants, anything is good. Tir Na Nog is awesome, but on Friday night they have a lot of music and it will likely be loud. That may be a problem for many locations other than Appelbee-ish places.

If we get a bigger group than last time, I'm inclined to push for Barbecue lodge. They have the type of setup to where they can rope off a room for 25 or more people. Not that we'll have that many, but they can easily deal with groups if they have reservations.

 

[Pielorinho]

I'm pretty easy about where to eat, except for one thing: it's gotta have either seafood or vegetarian entrees. No four-chambered-heart dinners for this guy. For that reason, the Barbecue Lodge alarms me. But I can get by on a grilled cheese sandwich if need be.

I'm not very concerned about the kitchen's health code rating: as long as it's not been shut down in the past year, I'm okay with it.

Sign me up! I've read most of the AU book, and want to give it a try.

I was the one who said I'd run Call of Cthulhu if you'd run Shadowrun. I'm still good for it if you are.

If the CoC game isn't running at the same time as Hanry's game, sign me up for it as well! I want to play in both, please don't make me choose between the two...

For Restuaruants: My preference will be (1) Applebee's, followed by (2) this mysterious "Barbecue Lodge". Applebee's did right by me last time, but I vaguely seem to remember a few people that got shorted because they were out of some things at the time (a Friday night, no less!)

OK, I'm not going to be picky about where we eat. I just brought up the idea of a non-chain to try something different, but it won't stop me from going to dinner with everyone. The idea is to hang out, meet new people, and have fun; the food is secondary.

 

[Henry]

So far: Cthulhu's Librarian, Speaks with Stone, and Rel are in my AU game. Any others I'm forgetting?

Pielorhino, I know Applebee's could accomodate (with grilled veggie platters if nothing else), but reasonably sure any place we end up will have equivalent price/service, and should cook to order.
