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

[Clueless]

This bodes interesting times. However, I'm torn on (A) signing up for Clueless in a Shadowrun game, should she run it, or Phil's Faded Glory. (Faded Glory.. that rings bells... wonder if I'm forgetting something...)

In other news, I intend to offer Spycraft and finally get to show this great system off - but this time, updated to the all-new 2.0 rules! I'll have more details soon.

Hm. With multiple requests already... good lord I'm gonna have to run aren't I? Now to come up with a plot! *mentally crunching*

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?

I wish I could be there for the game, but I am going to be lucky to make it to the dinner. Have you contacted the girls to set things up? They'll need to reserve some game room space for you.

And I've been meaning to ask, how is you newborn? I hope that he and your wife are well and preparing to enjoy your first holiday season as a family with a kid. For me it really makes Christmas a lot more fun.

Christy and Finley are doing just fine. They are currently getting some family time up in Michigan while I work one last week before going on paternity leave. I'm soooo excited for Christmas... though, to be honest, I'm looking forward to next year's Christmas more. A 3-month old doesn't get much out of the holiday other than a fascination with all the pretty lights. But mom and dad will still have a ball.

I was waiting a bit to see if I could round up enough players first. From the looks of it, I may have to just wait until after Christmas to do my playtest. I can still make the dinner and this way I don't have to hurry out of the Christmas brunch my aunt and uncle are having that day.

Sorry for the false alarm, AdamantineAngel. Are you going to be in the area over the holidays? I may see if I can get some portion of my regular gaming group together for the playtest but I doubt I'll have quite enough people.

It does indeed get more interesting as the years go on. But I can still recall that first year after all the Grandparents had left and my wife and I were sitting on the couch with Samantha curled up in a blanket on our laps and feeling that "Christmas as a family" feeling for the first time. It was wonderful.

I need to make plans with you to come up and visit (or vice-versa, if you guys what to come down). I miss having you guys in town, and that Laura & I still not have met Finley is just unexcuseable on our part.

I will be around, and it'll make me available for something else as well. Also, could you reciprocate by helping me find some people for the same playtest as I'm running for Gameday? I can send some materials if needed. As many playtests as I can do the better (as I'm trying to help my friend get this ready for publishing).

I'll see what I can do on rustling up some playtesters. The only problem is that many of the usual suspects from my group will be out of town over the holidays.

Thanks for trying, whatever your result. I really appreciate it!

I'll be posting soon what the prize will be for doing the playtest at Gameday. I hope everyone's sitting on the edge of their seat dying to find out what!
