North Carolina Game Day -- THE AWESOME AFTERMATH!!!!

[Mulkhoran]

Ok, did a walkthrough of the rooms that were unlocked, and they are (as I remembered) nice sizes for playing. I asked the site coordinator for his opinion on how many tables each room would support assuming that each table can seat 8 people (2 at each end, 3 down each side. so that's 7 players + DM). I also asked him to take into account the accoustics of the room, since I know roleplaying can become quite noisy Here were his professional opinions (which seem quite reasonable):

no more than 4 tables in the green room
no more than 5 tables in the brown room
and the walnut room can fit quite a few tables, approx. 9-10

Wow, that's........a LOT of time and space, heh heh heh. Long lunches!

I take it the green and brown rooms are the ones we have from 9-9, and the walnut room is the 9-6?

*jumps up and down*

*waves frantically*

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLright, folks! It's one month 'till the big day, and work work work to do! Straighten the chickens! Run up the flag! Darn the socks! PANIC!!!!!!!!


We appear to have a LOT of space and time, and only about 20 or so participants. I've posted a preliminary schedule block on the first page. Let me know what you think.

And those of you seeing this for the first time, SIGN UP!!! MUST HAVE GAMEZ! MUST ALSO FILL GAMEZ!

Seriously, it was once said of these events:

"..if the DMs don't sign up, and sign up early, you've just wind up with a lot of folks talking about what they like to play." - Mark

So w00t. Who's running what? How long will the non-rpg games take? I think we're setting about 5 hours blocks per rpg game session, but I'm a little off on the times we should allot for say, boardgames and whatnot.

*Sob*

No one wants to play in my game...


But that's ok. If no one signs up, I'd like to play all day myself. I'll give it a few days....otherwise I'm not running anything and I'm going to become a player.

In any case, I still want to play in Henry's d20 modern game, so please put me on the list for that and make sure my game isn't scheduled for the same time slot.

Gargoyle, I'm game for your game. I have this problem of being an extreem munchkin whenever I fail my will save, so having pregen characters should take care of that.

 

[Rel]

Don't feel bad, Gargoyle. Nobody signed up for my game either. (I draw attention to Jeph that I will also be using pre-gen characters for my game, so if you want to curb those munchkin tendencies...)

I'll try and rattle some cages on my end to see if I can get the folks I game with to sign on. Especially Speaks With Stone since he's already shown interest in this event.

If I get no takers on my RttDotSL-3E game, I'll sign up to play another game instead.

As to the matter that was raised earlier about having someone "in charge", I guess I feel somewhat responsible since I started this whole mess. The next month is going to be a busy one for me at work, but I'll do what I can to help coordinate things. Perhaps someone would volunteer to be my "aide de campe" to help shoulder the load?

What are your opinions about my ability to play in a game and also be available to be "in charge" at the same time? I'd really like to get a chance to play as much as possible, but I don't want to shirk my coordinator duties or distract too much from the game I'm in either.

IMPORTANT EDIT: I just found out that March 22 MIGHT be the day that my sister is changing her wedding date to. If so, this could take me out of action for all or part of the day. I'll find out whether this is the case ASAP but somebody else may have to step into the leadership position. Sorry.

From my perspective, it's a little confusing on how to sign up for certain games. Actually Rel, I'm all about playing your 3e Slave Lords game, so count me in.

Also, I'm crafting up the game I'll offer to run (which would also have pregen characters). When I get more details, I'll post them.

 

[Rel]

All you have to do in order to get signed up for a game is to post about it in the thread. Mulkhoran is compiling these requests and putting them in the 2nd post in the thread.

Everybody say, "Thank You, Mulkhoran."

KEY: If anyone wants to sign up for, or run a game, they can also email me at ginguy_2000@yahoo.com , or contact me via yahoo messenger at the same. I'm on almost every day, and I check the mail religiously.

I got your back with the aide-de-campe thing, boss. I don't think there'll be *too* much for people in charge to do, we just need someone who can say "we do this" when the question of "do we do this or do we do that?" comes up. With a little clever scheduling, I'm sure at least one of us will always be available.

Speaking of scheduling, I don't think anyone should worry just yet about people not being signed up (er, pardon my hysterics earlier). We're sort of just now starting to do "actual" planning, I think everything up to this point has been sort of informal.

Remember, folks, we've got *plenty* of space and time, so don't hesitate to jump in! We'll really need to have a good general idea of the crowd size before we convene. I'm thinking this could be a real cosmopolitan event, with lots of room for other types of games, not just d20. Maybe we should invite <a href="http://www.tuga.us">TUGA</a> .

Yeah, pregens can be fun. They encourage you to take risks and play stuff that you'd never think of playing in a full time campaign.

 

[Mulkhoran]

Also, to note, it will be a lot easier for people to sign up/GM multiple games once the schedule block's up. For example, I personally would like to GM more, and sign up for more, but I have to get the schedule blocks in place to make sure there's no conflict.

I should have the one piece of clarifying info I need momentarily, so we can really get things rolling.
