FDP BattleBox and Tact-Tiles

Anyone playing in my Grim Tales/BCCS game have a Fiery Dragon Press BattleBox and/or Tact-Tiles that they can commit to bring to the game? Ermmm...not that we will need cards for combat maneuvers...or chases...or massive fireball templates...or be able to quickly move tiles to keep pace with fast moving action...nope...not at all...move along...nothing to see here !

Doh! Schedule bites me on the bottom

Ooh, Rel. I think I want to play in Sky Galleons. Heard you ran a good game. I ran CoC last year at Gameday, maybe i'll blow the dust off and run the same one again. It's (literally) a killer.

Well Narfy, go now, because I have to drop out of SG this time. I cast my blessings upon whomever plays Tex. Aim for the biggest part of it and don't be shy with the trigger.


Jon, nm my earlier pm since it doesn't matter now.

I've never played Planescape, but I'm not denying that I'll try ^_^

Harp - Of course!

Round Robin - what if it were a different ruleset that had rules within for taking over the direction of the story?

DDR - I've played more of that than Planescape. I think I'd prefer not, though

On the round robin, of course you can modify it however you want, but it still has to maintain some verisimilitude. For example, the last game I ran, the first DM had us in a tavern where we were listening intently to this wonderful storyteller weave interesting stories, and this guy comes in, and starts talking crap to the storyteller, telling him that he can't run forever, and that the he's finishing things once and for all, yadda yadda. This guy also has some "thugs" that accompany him. The storyteller vanishes, and the bad guy leaves, only to have the thugs do the dirty work.

So then I take over. The "thugs" start hitting the PCs really hard (I'm rolling d6s for fists) and one of the players is like "that's not right..." and then this illusion breaks down, revealing the thugs to be zombies. Oh, the look on the previous GMs face was priceless! Since he didn't intend for them to be zombies, but there wasn't anything stopping me from turning them into zombies! So, you work with what you have, and things change as you go. You can't just take over the reigns and say "suddenly you find yourself on a ship!" No, it doesn't work like that.

I use d20 rules for round robin just out of convenience. It's not tied to that. I could use HARP rules, but fewer people are familiar with those, and you have to be GM to play in the round robin game.

Darn it...how can the games fill up so fast! I feel your pain Jon.

Rel: How many tables for GMs?

Rel: How many tables for GMs?

Dave

Right now we've got it set up for 6 tables in the 3118 Room and there are another 3 in the Blue Room. Some of those may get taken by wargaming but as far as I know we're sticking to the "first come, first served" philosophy. So none of those Blue Room tables are off limits unless I'm told otherwise. Even if we just use the 3118 Room we'll have space for 12 total games with 6 in the morning and 6 in the evening. That's as many or more than were at the last Game Day.

d20 Past: Corsairs on the Sea of Broken Souls

Ok all, I am going to run the following as d20 Past comes out next month. Let me know if you have any other suggestions.

Avast ye sorry excuses for sea dogs! Join the crew of the Fool's Gold on a quest to the Isle of Shattered Dreams where some say the Black Jackal stored the plunder of decades dishonest raiding.

Beware the deadly and mysterious magic of the elder Ffolk, the cannons of Her Majesty's Navy, and the black hearts of yer greedy breathren and mebbe some of ye will return rich and soaked in gold.

Cool. I just posted a game for a morning slot 9-2.

I think you forgot to add in a yarr! somewhere. Sounds like a fun game!

I've got the BattleBox. Just remind me as we get closer to GameDay.

die_kluge-
Looks like I'm going, but we won't be coming through Richmond. We're going down 29south from C'ville to get to Chapel Hill before headed to Raleigh, and I might be staying with friends there. Hope this doesn't mess up your plans. I'll let you know if anything changes.
