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

As I mentioned in the prequel thread, I just submitted to run a Feng Shui-based G.I. Joe one-off that I ran with a great deal of success for a local group last Christmas. :D

Don't blame the Yugoloths this time around. Like Pilate, our hands are clean here.

Alright, I submitted my game to the NC Gameday Site. Afternoon preferably, just so I'm properly awake.

3e DnD.

Title: The Iron Wrought Cage

Description:

The last thing you remember is being in Sigil, the City of Doors, staring at the haze above you shortly after the light began to fade from the sunless sky, looking up at the twinkling 'stars' formed by furnace fires, smokestacks and streetlamps on the opposite side of the city. There, at that point, your memories go black, and you recall nothing more.

You're still in Sigil, so you presume, sitting in the middle of the Hall of Speakers. One thing strikes you deeply though, and not just the fact that you're groggily waking up on its floor. The cavernous building is deathly quiet. There's not a sound, and normally you'd be able to distantly hear the everyday din and ruckus of the populace outside, especially with the Market and Guildhall Wards of the city hedging up to the Hall on all sides. But there's nothing of the sort.

You sit up and the fog clears from your mind. It's still as quiet as a tomb as you turn around and see the unconscious bodies of several others there on the floor. Incongruity on top of more incongruities, but what strikes you most is what you see through the open doors of the Hall's main entrance: the streets of Sigil, cold, quiet and empty.

Details:

3 to 6 players. PCs of 8th level or equivalent ECL (I may alter this a bit higher).

I'll have some pre-gen characters, or folks can come up with their own (subject to my prior approval).

Expect my normal tone for games. That is to say, -dark- with a bit of paranoia tossed in. Immersive, RP heavy, with decidedly more mature themes. The violence level, language, etc is entirely situation dependant, and I don't water down my Evil. If fiends are involved (*polite chuckle*) expect them to act like fiends, and not to be toned down in the slightest, so don't expect roses and candy as you beat up orcs and save a village.

I had no idea this existed, especially since it's in my back yard. I'll have to see if I can get something organized to run.

Welcome aboard! Glad to have you and let me know if you've got any questions.

I'm generally big on the BBQ concept but I'm a bit afraid that we could be asking for trouble if we try and do this in January. Despite frequently having very mild winters, we don't have to look back further than last year to recall frozen precipitation falling on the weekend of the January Game Day.

ENWorld Snowball Fight! :lol:

I know that there have been slightly mixed reviews on the place, but remember that if we can get 25 people then we can get the back room at Errico's as a private room for the whole evening (with a pizza buffet for around $7-8 per person IIRC).

I've got no problems with Errico's. The foods decent, the back room is nice when we have it to ourselves, there is a game shop right down the block, and most of all-it's one of the few places I know how to get to in Raleigh (the others being the Motel 6, the Rockola Cafe, and the Student Center).

Note: Fallen Orc Games (the game shop in the Errico's shopping center) closed in late October. You can go down the road to visit All Fun and Games though.

I am fine with Errico's. I cannot think of another place that offers a private room.

Damn! They had a huge amount of old 1e stuff that I wanted to pick through. The last two times I've been down I wasn't able to get there.

Does All Fun & games have old/used stuff?

They have some stuff. The husband of one of the owners is bringing in his entire pre-3e collection. I can ask him to have it ready by gameday if you like.
 

Rel:

I tried to edit my game. For some reason, it lists as running from 12am-2pm. Under edit, it correctly has the start time listed as 9am and to run for 5 hours. Is there any way to fix this bug?

Yes please! In fact, if you wouldn't mind, can you see if he has any old Dungeon magazines, especially 1e issues?

What are the store hours? I usually end up getting down to Raleigh around 6-7pm, and would hate to miss them by an hour or so. Do they have a website?
