NC Game Day IX - January 21 (PRE-REG NOW OPEN)

[Rel]

We've got our act together now and submissions are now open for the 9th NC Game Day.

Please read the following carefully as there have been some minor changes in procedure since the last Game Day.

As we've done with the last several events, all registration will take place at the Official NC Game Day Website.

To schedule a game, the following must happen in order:

1) You must register on this site, and request to be a GM. If you were a GM on a previous Game Day, you should still be a GM on future Game Days, so go to step 3.

2) An admin (Rel or Morgenes) approves you as a GM.

3) You submit your event (My Events -> Submit), filling out the required fields and submitting it.

4) An admin reviews and accepts the event, and assigns it to a table.


Important: Right now we are only taking submissions for GM's to run games. If you're going to run a game send it in as soon as possible. Players can take a couple weeks to look over their options. At 5PM on December 16th we will open up registration for players to sign up for these games. We will continue to take submissions for games after this but there is a good chance that folks will already have signed up for stuff so the sooner you get it in, the better your chances of having players.

Also sorted out the "Game Type" after the last Game Day. If you want folks to be able to sign up for your game in advance, use Open Game

There are two main slots for role-playing games this game day. Either morning or afternoon. Morning runs from 9-2pm. There will be an hour lunch break till 3pm, then the afternoon session runs from 3pm - 8pm.

So when you submit your event, choose a start time of either 9am or 3pm, depending on what slot you want to run in.

The additional notes field is so you can tell the administrators about any special needs you might have, like a certain size or shape of table, or power needs.

If you have previously registered at the NC Game Day site then you don't have to do that part. If you've previously run a game at NC Game Day then you don't need to register as a GM. All you have to do at that point is submit your game and have it approved and slotted.

This is also the thread to talk about stuff like where we want to eat on Friday before the Game Day. We've got a lot of people coming in from out of town this time so I'm excited about attendence this time around. If there are any other questions, I'm happy to answer them as usual.

It will be good to see everyone. I already posted my game!

A strange red light as of a phantom ship all aglow

Background
Five centuries have passed since the last sleeper ship arrived from the Sol system. The Gandhi arrived 508 years ago. She was one of three ships that left Sol in the final days for our system, yet the only to arrive. Her records indicate that at least one ship was destroyed outside of the Oort Cloud near Sol. The final ship, the Carolina, passed into legend…a modern Flying Dutchman, cursed to wander the stars forever…

The Capella System was colonized 584 years ago by the Beowulf, Gibraltar, and Brahmin. It had 3 habitable planets that were quickly terraformed. A total of 14 of the 20 vessels slated to colonize Capella arrived bringing with them English, Scot, Irish, American, Australian, Indian, Japanese, and Spanish settlers. Over the centuries, the Terrans terraformed a number of additional moons and expanded through the trinary system. Five major powers formed: Star Kingdom of Beowulf, Principality of Catalan, Federated Colonies of Terra, New Indus, Nihon Empire.

Adventure
The Meganne, an old starlight class freighter, has just escaped from a nasty encounter with a few pirates that hold a grudge. Unfortunately, she is now drifting in the Black, away from the normal shipping lanes and toward the edge of the System. Little hope exists for the crew until they find a faint, intermittent signal. A signal from the past, a signal they cannot avoid, will it lead to salvation or nightmare?

That's too bad. I would love to meet you sometime. Maybe you can make it for the maga gameday in April!

Rel, is it going to be Sky Galleons or Orcs! this time? I'd like to play me some Orcs! if you'd care to run it.

Orcs would be cool, but anything he wants to run would be fine...I purposely decided to run my game in the morning, in case there would be an Orcs! game.

As Rel is fond of saying "Play 'em in the am and GM in the pm."

What is the layout of the place? Is it all going to be in the open or will there be private rooms for some games?

WOO-HOO! It's ON, ladies and gentlemen!

What is the layout of the place? Is it all going to be in the open or will there be private rooms for some games?

Usually it's a series of meeting and conference rooms, large enough to accomodate anywhere from 20 to 50 people, depending on the room. The Walnut Room, for instance is huge, but homey-sounding, even with a good 50 people in it. The other rooms are more your typical 1960's and 70's style college classrooms.

The after hour D&D games are held at the Dollhouse.

I hate to disappoint but this time is going to be "None of the Above". I'm running my Risus Misfit Superheroes game that I put together at the last minute and didn't get to use. The players will get to play members of the United Nations Superheroes - Taskforce: Topeka. Prepare to fight villany and terror in the Kansas heartland!

Never fear however. Both Sky Galleons and Orcz! will be back for the April Game Day.
