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

[Belen]

Wow - we need more games. Wasn't actually expecting that.

Belen, reveal, Alenda and others: I'll have the full list of heroes you can choose up shortly (as opposed to the tiny list I made at lunch), though if you already know the hero you want to play, just tell me and I'll make it work.

I would like to play either Hector, Achilles, or Odysseus.

I call dibs on Penthesilea, the Amazon princess!! Based on that decision, Belen said he'd prefer Achilles over Hector or Odysseus.

Thanks Rel.

I call dibs on Penthesilea...

The patron goddess of penicillin.

Henry: just checking to see if I'm in your game.... ::crosses fingers::

Yep. Got to register for stuff kinda late.... guess everyone reg'ed right at 5PM.....

Wow... I might be there looking for a house, so it looks like I would schedule my trip during your game day, and maybe stop by to watch. (and of course recruit players for my game when I move out there. I'll be looking to give some daring players a shot at the new GM in town.)

My Wikipedia-fu suggests that that's a great character combo.

Do you want her to be more archery or spear-throwy? The article mentions that she killed Hippolyte with a spear while hunting, but archery+Amazon is a pretty common combination too.

(Achilles, of course, will have 'very difficult to injure' as a big thing - being dipped in the Styx and wearing divinely-forged armor will do that)

Just tried to sign up but there are only 3 slots and those were taken. Are there unnamed slots allotted to Sekeetta and me?

Sorry about that--I'd already reserved three slots for DMing reciprocity (my regular DM, and then two that I'll be playing under at the game day), and I didn't really think about reserving slots for y'all. My apologies!

However, one of the folks who signed up already has a reserved slot, which means there's an open seat at the table after all. I definitely understand if y'all want to stick together, but if you don't, I'll go ahead and let one of you take it.

Again, brain fart on my part, not really thinking about how registration would work; I do apologize!

Starcraft still has at least two seats remaining.

The general feel will be sort of Aliens-meets-Full Metal Jacket/Apocalypse Now. Characters will be a recon team under the Terran Dominion scouting out a planet on which the they have just landed in an effort to locate resources, hostiles, or anything else of strategic significance. What they find remains a mystery.

Hmm... I've never played a character with a spear, so I'm more than happy to venture into the unknown and try playing a spear-throwy Amazon.
