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

[Piratecat]

Thanks! I've entered the Dread game as well. Please note that the site points to a different game named Dread than the one I'm running. Details here!

I'm really looking forward to this.

Sat pm:

The Curious Murder of Artemis Hume

Dame Artemis Hume died under mysterious circumstances, and her wastrel husband Oliver inherited everything. But now Oliver has died childless, and their family descends on the ancestral manor for the reading of his will. Did Oliver kill his wife? Did someone kill Oliver? And would someone kill - again and again - to ensure that some secrets stay hidden...

The (incredibly cool) ENnie-winning horror game Dread uses simple rules and a unique system of resolution. All rules will be taught. Roleplaying essential. Set in the 1920's.

Sun pm:

Inferiority Complex

Stay alert! Trust no one! Keep your laser handy!

Greetings, Citizen. For the glory of Alpha Complex, The Computer has just volunteered you and your clone brothers for a mission that will be perfectly safe and fun for you all. Rumors to the contrary are completely spurious. Please report any such rumors to the nearest Confession and Reclamation Booth.

Remember, rumors are treasonous.

Thank you, and have a nice day-cycle.

If I held NZ Game Day I, would y'all come?

Given enough advance warning, like a year? Hell yeah! You know that when KidC and I come visit in 2008 (that's the hope), we're totally sponging off you. That includes gaming.

Actually, don't worry; if it goes as well as I hope, I'll also run this at GenCon.

Absolutely!

As long as I don't decide you suck once I meet you at GenCon, of course.

My Hellboy game has been posted and is awaiting approval. Here is the blurb:

Hellboy went missing and has been for over a decade. Some say he was last seen on a ship towards Africa. Few know the truth.

And the world is better for it. Something has changed. Monsters stopped rising from the depths and threatening the apocalypse of some legend.

The BPRD is shutting its doors. You are all of what's left, the 'Skeleton Crew' as you've been dubbed, Guardians of the Last Vigil. All is peaceful in the world.

There's only two problems: The Apocalypse won't be stopped by ignoring it, and you're all standing over Hellboy's corpse. What will you do to save the world?

Four seats are reserved for Rel, NCSUCodemonkey, Henry and Cthulhu's Librarian. There are two more seats available.

What time are you running it, Mark? I know Alenda has a spot reserved for codemonkey in her Sunday morning game.

I created this nifty set of instructions for registering on the NC Gameday Site. (I wrote up the instructions for my FLGS' web site to help attract area gamers).

I thought y'all might find it useful too.

Uhm, Sunday morning ._. Phooey. So much for waiting to see when games were scheduled.

Sunday morning works for me! Sounds like a good game setup!

If I get a shot at a slot in the afternoon Paranoia game, so much the better, because (1) It's been a while since I've gamed with Pkitty, and (2) getting a chance to screw over Rel is an enjoyable pastime.

I believe I will be running Godlike, if only for a chance to expose people to a new system and give me an excuse to buy Wild Talents.

Godlike: D-Day Minus One
In preparation for Operation: OVERLORD, the Allies prepare for the largest landing the world has every seen. That will be tomorrow. Today, you are a member of the British Talent Operation Group, a person possessed of unique and special powers who has joined the British effort. You are sitting in shaking airplane with the remainder of your squad.

You will be over the occupied France in moments, and be forced to contend with the powerful Ubermench Corpes. Men will be landing tomorrow, whether or not they live depends on what you do tonight. Good thing you are the best.

Thinking about running it Sunday,
