NC Game Day XIII (April 21-22): aka "Mini-GenCon"

[Rel]

Are you not going to GenCon this year? Well then let me tell you where you'll see more ENWorlders running cool games and hanging out anyplace else this year: NC Game Day XIII

What's that? You ARE going to GenCon this year? Well you don't want to have to wait until August to see everybody and game with them do you?! NC Game Day XIII is the answer to all your problems.

This one is our annual 2-day event and it's going to be HUGE. It'll be on April 21-22 at the Talley Student Center at NC State University.

Our official website can be found HERE. Here is some important info that you need to know, especially if this is your first time attending:

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 EDIT Thursday March 29th 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.

If you want folks to be able to sign up for your game in advance, use Open Game as the "Game Type".

On Saturday the "slots" are 5 hours long and run from 9 AM - 2:00 PM and 3:00 PM to 8:00 PM. On Sunday the slots are 4 hours long and run from 9:00 AM - 1:00 PM and 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM. When you submit your event, you probably want the start and end times to line up with those slots so that it doesn't interfere with other games your players might want to play.

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.

Questions? Post them here.

We strive to make this a very social event. We do dinner on Friday night beforehand so if you're in town then make sure that you join us. We also do dinner on Saturday night and, if enough people are still in town, we'll do it on Sunday too! I can't wait to see all the usual supects as well as some new faces around the gaming tables this time.

And you, sir, had best save me a spot in the Pirates game that I missed last time around.

Please.

Or buy me a new brain with additional memory space.

Or at least stop by my house on March 30 and write on my arm: "Register today at 5 p.m."

I'll be there, one way or t'other.

I will be running a game this year. On Saturday, 9am, I'll be running Monte Cook's The Temple of Mysteries: In Media Res.

One thing I ask is that, if you have played this before, do not sign up come March 30th. It's a great game with great twists.

Sweet! This is going to be awesome. I know that Alenda is running the sequal to her Halfling Musketeers game "Twenty Leers After." No clue what I will run, but I may dust off Chronicles of Carolina.

Someone has to make sure that ncsucodemonkey makes it!

 

[Mark Causey]

Matt is planning on attending (ncsucodemonkey). So am I! I will be running at least one game if not more.

 

[Henry]

YEE-HAW! Rel must be a psion, because I was just thinking about this earlier today!

For anyone interested, I will be running "The Fire Giant King", an AD&D expedition, as the final chapter in the Against the Giants Series. Those who want to see Rath, Arkayn, Silverleaf, Aggro, etc. meet their end... er, I mean, end the threat to the Lands of Mankind, are welcome to sign up. I'll post when the registrations open.

I'm also thinking of running a game Sunday as well, perhaps Arkham squad, or perhaps something in the Feng Shui vein.

 

[Hypersmurf]

Well you don't want to have to wait until August to see everybody and game with them do you?!

Wanna bet?

NC Game Day XIII is the answer to all your problems.

Ha!

Sweet!

Well, I will be there but I will not be DMing this year. Three months of work on Underoo was enough for at least two game days . It sounds like there'll be 10,000 games that I want to be in and only three slots that I can make, so I'm going to be all player. Really looking forward to it!

 

[Piratecat]

Gosh! If I was theoretically going, I suppose I'd have to theoretically register my game. (and buy my flights.) Which means I'd have to have a blurb...

UPDATE: Plane reservations are made! KidCthulhu can't make it, but I'm so there. Game blurb to follow.

 

[Queen_Dopplepopolis]

I'm so excited. And I just can't hide it. I'm about to lose control. And I think I like it.
