North Carolina Game Day VI: January 29

[Henry]

Glad to be of assistance!

*Hmmm.. burning... that's just crazy enough to WORK!*

Excuse me, gang...


AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH! AAAAAHHH! AAAAAHHH! AH!

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH! AAAAAHHH! AAAAAHHH! AH!

Yeah, it was pretty much like that. I also knocked a picture off the entertainment center for effect.

Don't worry though, it had a happy ending. In fact, my little girl told me that Henry and die_kluge got married for a brief moment. Then she said, "Wait! They're both mans! Instead, Henry married a girl and die_kluge married a girl."

Wait, don't I get to marry someone? I mean, without me bringing the candle none of this would have happened.

Christy and I are planning on Errico's.

Perhaps she thinks of the Librarian as a swingin' single batchelor.

Or perhaps she thinks he's asexual.

On a brighter note, I ran a playtest of my Sky Galleons of Venus game on Friday night for some friends and I'm very pleased with the results. Not too many tweaks to make and I think it is going to be lots of fun.

While we're on the subject, I'll cross-post this from the Game Day forums (I had noplace better to put it while the server upgrade was happening):

Of the five PC's for this game, two are already spoken for because the players in question played the same characters in previous Sky Galleons games. The other three PC's are up for grabs. They are:

Elizabeth "Lizzie" Jameson - Daughter of the British Provisional Governor of Mars, Lizzie is a scandal waiting to happen. Though her father would far prefer that she marry and settle down, she has a thirst for knowledge and a knack for getting herself involved in adventure. Skilled in the courtly art of fencing, her rapier is nearly as sharp as her wits.

Budrajah Gurung - A veteran of the British Army, Budrajah is a Gurkha and the handpicked bodyguard for Lizzie. At the moment she appears to be thankfully out of trouble but he is quick to ply his cutlass and kukri in her defense, laying down his life for her if need be.

Carlotta Sanchez Ramirez - Once a Catholic nun, Carlotta originally came to Mars to convert the heathen Martians to her faith. But once on the Red Planet, she found herself caught up in the political intrigues of the place and found herself sympathizing more and more with the natives. She was eventually defrocked and ultimately became the leader of a band of Martian pirates. When her life was saved by Lieutenant Umbridge of the British Royal Navy, she gave up piracy but still quietly struggles against the european imperialism on Mars.


I am quick to realize that two of the three characters above are female while none of the three remaining players are. I hope this does not constitute a problem but understand that not everybody is happy playing cross-gender roles. I'll make accomodations if necessary.

Rel-

My preference would be to play Budrajah Gurung, but if someone else only wants to play a male PC, I'll play Carlotta Sanchez Ramirez.

Which rulebooks should I bring with me for the game? d20 Modern?

Hi everyone,
I'd love to make it to NC Gameday, but I would need rides to and from the day itself. I'm a student at Duke University in Durham, so hopefully someone else is either from Durham or is coming through and can stop and pick me up. I mentioned this before on the thread, but I don't think anyone responded. Additionally, I'm not sure which games I would be able to play in- but getting a ride comes first. Thanks, and please let me know if you could give me a ride.

Edit- I just realized I have some career week events I have to go to that morning. So unless anyone is not going to the Game Day until Saturday afternoon, and could give me a ride from Durham, things aren't looking so good. Let me know if this fits anyone's schedule, though.

That would be great if you have a copy. And your character preference has been noted.

Elric, you may wish to cross post your need for a ride over at the NC Game Day forums. I'm guessing that chances are slim that somebody coming from Durham wants to go for only half the day but I do know that there are people on those forums that don't post here at ENWorld.

I want to play Carlotta Sanchez Ramirez, mostly because I want to see the looks on my home group's faces when I tell them I played a guerrilla-fighting-style defrocked catholic nun. Hopefully I can do justice by Lola's legacy.

Elric, I hope you get to make it. I'm afraid I couldn't help, but if things don't work out, maybe next game day?
