NC Game Day VII - April 23!

[Morgenes]

AND, as Old One just found out, if you change something about your event listing after they've assigned it a table, it has to be re-assigned to a table. So once you post a new game, make sure you have everything correct on it and then ask them to assign it to a table.

Just to clarify, editing an event doesn't cause you to loose your table. It puts the event back in 'Pending' status, so it won't show on the event list or schedule. The event technically is still assigned to the table it had, it just doesn't show because it's 'Pending'. This also won't cancel pre-registrations or anything like that (as you all know). Then either Rel or I have to verify the changes (make sure you didn't put in a bunch of profantity or links to nude pictures or anything) and then set it to 'Approved'.

This concludes today's informative lesson on what goes into administrating the website.

Fortunately I'm the only person who has a tendency to add a bunch of profanity and links to nude pictures. Unfortunately I'm also an Admin! In case you ever wonder if that old adage about power corrupting is true, I'm living proof!

Hmm, Neal does have interesting ideas for increasing hits to the webpage, and thus possibly more players at the Gamedays. But he also seems to want to censor it ...

I'm trying to get some games added. I'm waiting to get GM status. Unless that's something I can do on my own. I sent the request off that that ncgameday email address. Anyone read that?

I get all the emails sent to ncgameday@dhorizon.org, so yes, your email was read this morning. I went to check and Rel had already beat me to the punch.

Mailing the account is a perfectly good way to do this, but there is another way that might shorten your wait time. If you log into the NCGD website and click the 'Update' link from your account profile page (Click on the account tab if you're elsewhere in the site).

On the update page you can check the box next to 'I want to be a GM and run events at NC Game Day 7'. That'll open up a text field for you to enter what you want to run. Fill that in and save it.

This still requires intervention on mine or Rel's part (to approve the GM status), but it should happen the next time we log in (as we are told that we have pending things to approve).

I've added the d20 round robin game to the afternoon slot. I assume the mods have to approve it before it shows up in the registration.

I'm debating on what I want to run in the morning slot, but I'm leaning on HARP. The other choice would be the d20 Planescape game. Any preferences?

Hey balen, what type of game will you be running this game day?

So many possibibilities mentioned and yet not enough posted as games with slots to pick as of yet.......

It will be using the d20 Past rules. Basically, you'll all be priates this time around.

 

[Belen]

Now I am awaiting someone else to post another afternoon game.

 

[Rel]

Now I am awaiting someone else to post another afternoon game.

Well with only 57 days to go until Game Day hopefully somebody will squeeze one in there!

BU, have you looked at Skull & Bones? If you are doing any sort of pirate game, even if you plan on using the d20 Past rules, you REALLY should take a look at it. http://www.greenronin.com/catalog/grr1018

Also, your wife (sorry, I forgot her name) might be interested in Legends of Excalibur from RPG Objects. I meant to email the name of the book to her after we talked about Arthurian games at the last game day, but forgot to do so. http://www.rpgobjects.com/index.php?page=ex

I am going to this Game Day. I am also going to try to dig up the pictures from the first GD. I'll burn them to CD and bring them in (or mail them to Rel).

I've signed up for the pirate game.

Something that would be *way* cool... Someone run a full-day game using World's Largest Dungeon. It could be a recurring event each GD. 6 adventurers try to get as far as they can in the first section during this game day, then they are pulled out. Next GD, the DM starts the next section of the dungeon with either new PCs (of the appropriate level), or the previous PCs (leveled up appropriately), or a mix depending on who signs up.

Joining the event could cost $5-10 to cover the price of the DM(s) purchasing the book. I'd pay and play.
