North Carolina Game Day VI: January 29

[Rel]

Greetings Gang!

It's that time of year again and I figured it was time to start pimping the next Game Day. I think we've just about got the routine down now but let me know if there are questions.

As we've done with the last couple events, all registration will take place at the Official NC Game Day Website.

The following was originally posted by Morgenes and this is how you sign up to run a game...

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.

5) At this point pre-registration will be available for the event.


Note: The Game Type is important, as it determines how pre-registrations are handled. If you choose 'Reserved Game', noone can pre-register for the event. Most other event types are ok, in general 'Walk-in Game' should be chosen unless another one clearly applies.

There are two main slots for role-playing games this game day. Either morning or afternoon. Morning runs from 9-2pm. There will be an hour lunch break till 3pm, then the afternoon session runs from 3pm - 8pm.

So when you submit your event, choose a start time of either 9am or 3pm, depending on what slot you want to run in.

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.

Again, please let me know if you have any problems with this process. We want people there and we don't want them frustrated by the registration process. So ask for help and you will get it.

For the record, I'm very likely going to run a D20 Modern - Sky Galleons game this trip out.

 

[Henry]

WOOOO-HOOOOO!*


*Translation: I have no idea what I want to run yet, but just wanted to express my enthusiasm on it being time to start the planning.

 

[Rel]

Yeeee-Hawwwww*

*Translation: I am glad that Henry noticed the thread and I am interested to hear what he wants to run. Also, I forgot to subscribe so I'm doing that via this post.

 

[Clueless]

Whheee?*
*Translation: I have no idea what I'll be doing this go around but wanted to toss something in

I must be psychic. I was thinking about this thread today and here it is.

Not sure what I want to run right now. Midnight is a possibility. I really want to run or play in that world. Blue Rose is also a possibility, although I am not sure if it will be out by then.

My wife will be running an Arthurian d20 game using Relics and Rituals: Excalibur. The characters will be actual Knights of the Round table.

Game days rule.

According to a recent thread in the D20 Systems Forum - Blue Rose, assuming no further Production slips, will be out after X-Mas but before the end of January. ("Not under your Christmas Tree, but you can buy it with your Christmas Money" was a quote.) However, that may still be far too little time to prepare, depending on how much prep time you like.

I'm thinking of a half-dozen things:

• An Original D&D game using the three classic booklets (gotta find 'em first.)
• A Spycraft scenario (maybe a "Bourne Identity" style game but from the reverse angle)
• A Continuum Time Travel Game (world's simplest system that can make your head spin with the connotations)
• Running something like Steading of the Hill Giant Chief with 1st edition AD&D pregenned characters
• Maybe even running a HARP game if there's interest enough...

But then, that's just the stream-of-consciousness talking.

Sproinkle!*
*Translation: Cool, the Enworlders From NC That Arent' Yet Old Enough To Drink were wondering when the next Gameday would be. I'll tell the others. Anyway, I don't really have any thoughts on what to run, unless Henry's gang would like to cash in on the Feng Shui game that I owe them.

 

[Toras]

I'd been down for some Feng Shui, and plan on running a little something (possible a module test if I can get off my ass and work on it)

 

[Belen]

See...we really do need some way to fit in some more gaming. There is never enough time to participate in all the games I want to play or run. It would be cool to try to have a multiple day binge once a year.
