NC Game Day XI: September 23! (Player Registration Now Open)

[Rel]

Greetings friends! It's time for the next NC Game Day! Didn't get enough awesome games and good times with ENWorlders at GenCon? Come join us. Didn't get to GenCon at all this year? Don't worry, we'll make you green with envy as we recount our harrowing adventures there!

As we've done with the last several events, all registration will take place at the Official NC Game Day Website.

To schedule a game, the following must happen in order:

1) You must register on this site, and request to be a GM. If you were a GM on a previous Game Day, you should still be a GM on future Game Days, so go to step 3.

2) An admin (Rel or Morgenes) approves you as a GM.

3) You submit your event (My Events -> Submit), filling out the required fields and submitting it.

4) An admin reviews and accepts the event, and assigns it to a table.


Important: Right now we are only taking submissions for GM's to run games. If you're going to run a game send it in as soon as possible. Players can take a couple weeks to look over their options. At 5PM on Friday September 1st we will open up registration for players to sign up for these games. We will continue to take submissions for games after this but there is a good chance that folks will already have signed up for stuff so the sooner you get it in, the better your chances of having players.

Also sorted out the "Game Type" after the last Game Day. If you want folks to be able to sign up for your game in advance, use Open Game

There are two main slots for role-playing games this game day. Either morning or afternoon. Morning runs from 9-2pm. There will be an hour lunch break till 3pm, then the afternoon session runs from 3pm - 8pm.

So when you submit your event, choose a start time of either 9am or 3pm, depending on what slot you want to run in.

The additional notes field is so you can tell the administrators about any special needs you might have, like a certain size or shape of table, or power needs.

If you have previously registered at the NC Game Day site then you don't have to do that part. If you've previously run a game at NC Game Day then you don't need to register as a GM. All you have to do at that point is submit your game and have it approved and slotted.

This is also the thread to talk about stuff like where we want to eat on Friday before the Game Day. We've got a lot of people coming in from out of town this time so I'm excited about attendence this time around. If there are any other questions, I'm happy to answer them as usual.

 

[Belen]

WooHoo! Time was the next gameday. Also, I want to be the first post, so I shall be brief.

 

[Henry]

I was just thinking about this! (Actually, since you cats got back from Gencon.)

God, what to run...

 

[Belen]

Well, I was thinking about running my Mobile Suit Gundam game, although I am not sure if that will happen at this point. I have my annual meeting the weekend before this gameday, which means that I may be Zombie-like.

Alenda has mentioned that she is thinking about putting an Order of the Stick game together.

As for Friday night get together, I am not sure what we should do. Alenda tracked down a private room at the Ragazzi's in Cary, so that could be a possibility.

Finally, do we have dates for January and April? This way I can get them up on the yagoo site. I am fairly certain that we settled on January 20th at All Fun and Games for the January gameday.

 

[Rel]

I'll definately be running my Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay Pirates of the Caribbean game. Details to be announced.

That could work. I'll get with her on the details.

We do have these dates but they're not at my fingertips. I'll post them when I get the chance. I'm fairly certain you're correct about January.

 

[Queen_Dopplepopolis]

Awesome. Looking forward to this, guys!

 

[Belen]

Awesome. Looking forward to this, guys!

Sweet! QueenD will be in the house. I mean, literally.

 

[Alenda]

I was planning on taking this Gameday easy, but great ideas have been percolating in the Alenda noggin, so I will be running something after all and take January's Game Day off.

I will be running an "Order of the Stick" D&D game in which players get the opportunity to portray their favorite OoTS characters using Dungeons & Dragons 3.5 rules. The game should be lotsa laughs and while it will be sprinkled with OoTs in-jokes, it won't be confusing to those who have never read the comic.

As with all my games, it will be light-hearted with a focus on humor. Also, it will almost certainly include non-conventional miniatures since that's become a "theme" with me.

Finally, Rel, is it at all possible that I can get into your Pirates game?

Pretty please? *uses puppy dog eyes*

HA! I'll believe that when I see it.

If you're using the OotS characters, DIBS ON ELAN!

I also want to snag a seat in the Pirates game, if at all possible.

 

[scholz]

Hmmm... I definitely had fun running M&M last spring. Maybe I will run something this year as well. I could do another M&M Adventure. Or maybe something different. I will think about it. Maybe I could also play this year, must start buttering up wife now.

For you local types who are interested, I'll probably run a session of this game at AF&G sometime very soon. So if you can make that one great and if not then hopefully we can get you in the one at the Game Day proper.

 

[Old One]

Holy Cr@p!

I may actually be able to come to this one...

I will be in Charlotte on business from 9/22-9/26 and might be able to arrange things for a quick run up to Raleigh. Hmmm...I need to arrange my schedule just so.

Anyway...

Rel, I totally want into the PotC WHFRP game.

As far as what I would run, I am thinking about returning to our intrepid team from the Emorian Imperial Inspection Bureau - who is fresh from rescuing the Senator's wayward daughter from the dreaded Corsairs of the Crescent Sea. I think I spot a storm brewing on the horizon!

This would be a Grim Tales/Mythic Heroes/True Sorcery game (yes...one of my three G'Con purchases) with 10th level PCs and will probably run in the AM.

Which reminds me, Henry...I talked to Robert J. Schwalb (rjs here) at G'Con and he would love you to whip up a spell calc spreadsheet for True Sorcery. Any interest?

[nakia]

Oh, I'd like a spot in the pirates game, Rel!

And I am thinking about running a game this year. Would anyone be interested in a WW2 commando Sgt. Rock type game using Grim Tales (and maybe Mythic Heroes)? Lot's of Nazi bashing fun!

Oh! Oh! Pick me! I want to be Elan!
"Bluff, bluff, bluff the pretty librarian GM!"
See, I can do it!

Dibs! EAT LEAD, GOOSE-STEPPERS!

I'd love a spot in this one, OO, as well as Rel's game! DIBS!! (note: please don't run them in the same time slot!).

I won't be here for open Player Reg as I'll be down at Dragoncon. And net access from the Hyatt is $10 a day... ouch.

So far, I'll have a Fri game so, yet again, won't be able to be at the Friday Dinner.

Crap...I might have to bail on mine...me love me some Sgt. Rock. Can my .45 take out a Tiger tank too?

If you use enough action points, maybe!

And don't let me dissuade you from running your game, OO. Although, the lack of competition for my first ever con game would not be so bad:

"Nakia's game was great. . . it was the only one!"
