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

[Mark Causey]

It looks like I'll have a little trouble with the website in terms of adding this Playtest I want to run. It's its own system. Sending an email, though, and I'll wait on the response!

Neal has really rocked and been uber helpful. Everything is up.

By the way, I'm giving away prizes to everyone that shows to compensate for the possibiity of the game running through both sessions. If we finish early, the prizes will still be awarded.

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.

COOL! I'm really curious to see how it turns out. I won't be able to make it down until the spring game day, but I am certainly available as a resource if you need me. And come spring, I do hope to run my "Dances With Werewolves" game.

In other news, I finally have my Risus blog up. It's here.

Well, after all the very nice things you've said about me on your new site, Tim, it looks like I'll be buying you dinner when you come here in April. I'm bookmarking it!

Also, hopefully by the time the Game Day rolls around, I won't be a newb Risus GM. I generally try and playtest my games at some point and this is especially true for a new system. Speaking of which...

Who here would be free for a Risus playtest game on Sunday December 18th during the afternoon before the DM Dinner at All Fun & Games?

Not to ruin a good thing, but can someone explain to me how the GameDay works? When does it usually start, what's involved, when does it end and how do I sign up? I live over in Durham and I've been meaning to snooker over for one of these but didn't know what was what.

Thanks!

As far as I know, I'm able to go. I'll post or email you if something comes up.

Well I wish you the best on the 18th. As it turns out, I'll be playtesting "Dances With Werewolves" on the 17th for my group up here in the DC area. I'll have two players that are new to Risus, so it will be fun to see how they take to the system. And look for updates on my site in the coming weeks as I prepare for the session.

FYI, the folks at the Risus Talk yahoo group love your character writeups.

I'd be happy to.

The Game Day is a gathering of gamers of all stripes. There are RPGs, boardgames, miniatures wargames, collectable card games, etc. The ENWorld crowd here (myself included) has traditionally been most interested in the RPGs.

We have two 5 hour "slots" during which the games take place. The "Morning Slot" starts at 9:00 AM and runs until 2:00 PM. We take an hour for lunch and then the "Afternoon Slot" starts at 3:00 and runs until 8:00. Afterwards we usually go out to dinner at Rock-Ola Cafe and chat about how much fun we had that day (which is usually a ton). In addition there is usually a group who gets together on Friday night before the Game Day (which usually takes place on a Saturday) and has dinner and socializes.

That's the basics of it. At the website linked above you can sign up to be a GM or a player. Right now we're in the midst of GM Submissions wherein various GM's will submit games to run which are then approved by the moderators at the Game Day site (I'm one of them and Morgenes is the other). On December 16th at approximately 5:00 PM, registration will open and players will be able to sign up for these games.

That's pretty much all there is to it. I hope you'll come and join us!

I wish you could be here to give me some pointers but it's rather a long drive. j

How do I sign up for that Yahoo group? I might like to post the full character writeups and get some feedback on those.

I'll be in touch via this thread. I may or may not still have your e-mail addy on my computer.
