Ohio Gameday (January 18th) Game Sign Up

[Crothian]

I didn't even know Lane was under construction to begin with. I didn't notice any last time I was there, but I was west of 315 on Lane

 

[Clear Dragon]

do you know if Lane is still under construction?

If you are refering to the bridge across the Olentangy River then no, it has been torn down and the new one won't be done til mid-2004.

Btw I am intereseted in Paranoia in the morning but have never played it. Is it a quick learn? If so sign me up! I figure I will try to join in a pick up game of some sort in the evening or come up with something myself to run on the fly (probably either a gauntlet or battle royale for high level characters).

I'm the GM for the Paranoia game, so let me field this one...

If anyone who signs up for the game would like it, I'll write up a short (and I do mean short - after all, we're talking Red level clearance here, for those in the know...) intro to Paranoia. Trust me, it'll be fun!

 

[Crothian]

Sure, write it up. It's been about 9 years since I last played so I'm a bit rusty.

I was down on Lane this weekend (buying my 2002 Naitonal Championship Shirt, of course) and coming off of 315 had to take a big detour around Lane Ave, right at the Schottenstein Arena. If you throw in all the people that will pack that place for the celebration at the Shoe, I would highly recommend coming in from 71 or High Street to minimize the traffic and detour craziness.

if the out-of-towners follow the original directions posted (from 71), they should be fine

(i wanted to make sure all of the in-towners knew )

Re: Return to the Halls of the Fire Giant King

I do have four pre-generated characters that people may choose from, or you can bring your own hero:

Marikian (Winged Folk) Barbarian (trust me, he kicks ass)

Rakark (Cat-folk) Rogue/Fighter

Human Cleric

Krylin (think Jedi) Sorcerer

Those sound like interesting concepts, and I wouldn't mind playing any of them. I'm pretty sure, though, that I won't be able to put together my own character before the gameday.

Well, we are going to be competeing with a celebration of the OSU National Champs. There's going to be some sort of celebration at the Horseshoe 1pm on that the 18th.

Bloody hell. It's a couple of miles, but it might be easier for me to just bike over. Obsessive OSU fans grumble grumble.

 

[alsih2o]

well, now it looks like i will not be able to make it, our housesitter backed out.

crothian, send me your address please

No problem BB, I've got you covered! You interested in a detailed background as well? If so, I can whip one up (RPGA style). Just let me know.

You will be missed! I was looking forward to meeting another "ENWorld" icon.

Iconic potter...but still an icon!

 

[Quickbeam]

Sorry you can't make it Clay.

As for the OSU celebration, anyone know why there's such a lengthy delay is setting that affair up?

 

[Crothian]

Okay, time to whip up some NPCs

Coach is out of town this week, they have to decide how to distribute tickets for this shindig, it has to mesh with the mayor's schedule so he can swindle a photo op out of it, that kind of thing.

 

[Crothian]

8 days and counting!!!!

A background would be quite cool, but if you don't have time, don't worry about it.

Man, this is going to be fun.

I love them!! Definitely put my friend Alex down for Aust (male elven fighter), and I'll play Mardnab (female gnome barbarian) unless the party winds up really lacking in an important area of need. Then I'll switch to fill the niche .

Fair enough, and thanks for the explanation. Any word on how many people are expected to attend this celebration?

I don't want people to play niche's I want people to play what they want. The adventure doesn't require any classes, it could work with any 6 characters. Certain classes will give an advantage here or there, but there is no point where X class is needed or the adventure fails.

Um, let's see, thousands? This is Columbus and we really love our Buckeyes. 2% of the student population shows and that's a thousand right there. So, it's really hard to say.
