We're having another free Boston gameday! Held on Saturday October 19th, it'll be held in Jamaica Plain (Boston). I expect fewer due to the shorter notice, but we can have up to 4 games at either of the two 9:30am-1:30pm or 2:30pm-6:30pm slots. Standard deal: breakfast at about 8:30am for anyone who wants to come (bring something to share), and we'll figure something out for lunch (possibly barbecue with people kicking in $8.)
So please come, and please tell others! We are doing GM signups for the next two weeks, until Friday October 4th, which is when player registration opens. If you'd like to GM, please post below, either here or on the thread at Circvs Maximvs. If you saw this on G+, Facebook or Twitter, and prefer not to register, shoot me a note on one of those sites.

Ride of the Valkyrie, Pulp TimeWatch, run by Piratecat
You are an agent of TimeWatch's chronal patrol, using your time machine to keep history free of temporal sabotage. When nuclear war breaks out in the 1960s, you're dispatched back to find out who -- or what -- is to blame. Can you save history? Come find out!
TimeWatch is a GUMSHOE game of investigative time travel, run (in this case) by the author. No rules knowledge needed. 7 players.

Sweet Dreams Are Made Of..., Fate Accelerated, run by FickleGM
You each answered the ad to participate in a dream research study. You know that the study pays up to $10,000 for one month of your time, that it involves studying the positive health effects of pleasant dreams and that it involves testing a drug that causes pleasant dreams. Aside from committing a month of your life, you really can't see any drawbacks...plus, you could really use the money and the pleasant dreams.
Fortunately, you were one of the few chosen for the study and you need only show up, do what you're told and collect your paycheck. It looks like your luck is turning around...
...some of them want to abuse you...some of them want to be abused...
I will be running this scenario using Fate Accelerated, but will be sending the players Dread-esque questionnaires in order to build their characters.

Who You Gonna Call?, Mutants & Masterminds run by PrincessKeyBlade
People in Freedom City in the 1890's were constantly haunted by ghosts. You* are the only team who can curb the current unusual events. Needless to say, you are very popular. Lately strange things have been happening at the Freedom City library -- people are being trapped in books, ghosts have been messing up the card catalog. It has not been what you call a "normal" week at the library. It is up to you to find the culprit... So are you game?
*By you I mean the Spectre Inspectors - "No job is too big, no supernatural being too small. The Spectre Inspectres are always on the call, so drop them a line and stop in any time. Day or night they will make it right!" (Source: The Spectre Inspectors advertisement -- Freedom City Gazette, October 19, 1893.)
No knowledge of the rules necessary. This game has the potential to be scary, so it may not be for the young. Be ready for puns, wit and the occasional ghost or two.
