NC Game Day - Important new info!

[Jeph]

Pffbbtthhh. I had a half day on Saturday, once. I remember that we did all kinds of make up work; for example, my math class went down to the band room and played cards while the teachers goofed off. Oh wait...that wasn't work, we totally slacked off

Ah, but on this half-day I get to direct the balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet, plus ninjas. Who am I to turn down an opportunity to insert ninjas into Shakespearean classics?

Consider my slot in the Shadowrun game to be vacated,...

Raaawwwrr! *is promptly muted by a ton of falling books*
Ok ok ... well, oddly enough that works out well enough for at least one friend who I didn't know was going to be even attending... to play SR... man oh man, at this rate my game is cursed.

For players (what few survivors I have ) :
I'll be posting a short list of PC options - those of you who don't want to go to the trouble of making your own. I'm also going to be scrounging up a pdf for *temporary* viewing and familarization with the system, characters will come with 'cheat sheets' for commonly used rolls.

At least two of you (Shemmie and FH) will be making your own characters - anyone else up to anythign or got any special requests?

Clueless I borrowed a shadowrun 3e book ....is there an adept in your game or do I need to make one of my own?

So far I have no adept
I have one conjuration specialist, and one tech-geek.
I welcome adepts with open arms
If you want to make him/her up feel free (it'll take some burden off of me for making characters). Or you can give me some guidelines and I'll generate it.
Only suggestions are for the most part keep the to basic book, maybe a little from the Magic in the Shadows book - check with me for those.

First off, I'm sorry to hear that Jeph will be joining us late. But I am glad to hear that he'll be preaching the gospel of Ninja to the young minds of today.

Clueless, I did not "open" up that slot in your game since you seem to indicate that you've already got somebody on the hook for it. Does this unfortunate (I say "unfortunate" because of your sadistic streak, not to cast any aspersions on your abilities as a GM ) soul have a name? I've noted the slot as "Taken" for now.

Upon further reflection, "Taken" would be a bitchin' username. I wonder if it's taken?

I'll be seeing a great many of you in less than 48 hours. Exciting, isn't it?

Also, I seem to recall from posts I've seen of yours that you're an accomplished DM in your own right. Perhaps you could be swayed to run a game in the afternoon?

Wow, such flattery!

While I've been itching to run a Spycraft game for a while, I unfortunately won't be ready to do so by Saturday. Besides, I wanna *play*. Maybe next year.

Though it's already been said, I want to thank you guys for putting this together. I'm really looking forward to it.

Also, I just wanted to drop a note that I'm currently helping set up a gaming convention up here in Asheville on June 18th-20th. I'm going to do my best to have some flyers and more info by this weekend.

Hrm...must go learn Deadlands system now...

Well, Spider, you probably won't have to wait for an entire year if you don't want to. NCGDIV should take place sometime around the end of April or beginning of May (please don't ask for anything more specific than that right now) and NCGDV will be in September or so.

And now a mildly funny anecdote: This morning my 2 year old daughter was sitting in my lap in The Comfy Chair. She reached behind her (with both hands) and declared "THIS is my bottom." I congratulated her on not needing a road map...

...Which brings me to ask, does anybody need a road map to get them to the game day?

Yes, I will. I'll post my hotel location as soon as I get one...
If worst comes to worst, i'll just use Mapquest.

Is there convienient parking near the gameday location, or will I have to park on one side of campus and walk to the other.

Is it possible for someone to email me a cellphone # that I can call in case I get lost on the way to the dinner tomorrow night or the gameday on Saturday? I'm not usually bad with directions, but just in case. My email is antelope2001_at_hotmail.com

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.

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.

So, the snow is screwing up our schedule a bit even though it was a week before the Game Day!
