NC Gameday XXII - April 23-25 - Raleigh, NC

Mark_Causey

Here is the forum link for NC Gameday. Anybody interested in going/participating? The first games being talked about are Danger Patrol and Dresden Files.

Jason_Morningstar

I'm planning on going this time. Where there is Danger, there also will be me.

Quintin Stone

I'm thinking of going. I've been looking forward to Dresden Files.

Tom C

Yep I'm going, since that's me over there talking about running Danger Patrol and Dresden Files. The former is quite likely, the latter is iffy unless I can slow/warp the time/space continuum enough to bust out my Origins game in time for NCGD. These regional mini-cons organized on ENWorld will surprise you in how great the laid-back crowd vibe is and for the high-energy gaming you get across the non-trad to trad spectrum -- we just finished up one here in DC, where I ran Danger Patrol (beta) which turned out to be even more of a blast than I expected, and I can't wait to run it again.

Mark_Causey

Maybe I'll run Swords without Master ... I do enjoy it so.

Caesar Slaad

I've become a bit of an NCGD regular, so shall be there.

If I could draw enough attention for Diaspora from some players willing to do some pre-con generation, I'd consider that. Otherwise, I'll probably run my more traditional style *craft games (Spycraft and Fantasy Craft).

Jeph

I was there at the very first NCGD, and went to every one I could back when I actually lived in North Carolina for more than maybe a month out of the year. It's great to see so much enthusiasm for it outside of the regular ENWorld crowd. Have fun ya'll!

Jason_Morningstar

We'll miss you, Jeph!

David Artman

I'm tentatively planning to attend, running... something. Anyone want to suggest something?
Contenders
DITV
IAWA
Dread: TFBOP
Dread (Jenga)
Fiasco (assuming I can get my copy by then--and even if not, if someone can let me borrow the Tilt and Aftermath tables from theirs)
Mechaton/Mage Knight/Hero Clix (facilitating more than running, with figs or Legos for all).
Any of a number of Looney Labs games, Euro board games, etc.

Who wants what?

Jason_Morningstar

If you want to run Fiasco I will hook you up, David.

Andy

Dread: TFBOP <--- I will play. Especially if you go for SPITE.

David Artman

I'd have to use a pre-production draft of Spite, as that's all I have. And I don't really have it grokked (as such) as I do DTFBOP. But I think I could prep up a DTFBOP game, and it would be cool in that it's the first game I ever played at an NC Game Day (IIRC).

Thanks, Jason. I'll MOST LIKELY have my own copy by then, but it's good to have backup. I want to do the Rock Band one, acktchully.

David Artman

BTW, you know that Fiasco is a featured product at IPR, at the moment?

David Artman

OK, I'll do Fiasco and DTFBOP Saturday (not sure what order--Andy, having spoken up, do you have a preference?). Any other sessions, I play. :P

Tom C

Well, I'd prefer it if you ran Fiasco in the PM session, as I'm doing Danger Patrol in the AM. Because I am a selfish bastard, and I want to play Fiasco is why.

David Artman

Only two sessions on Sat? I though it was three (9, 2, 6). But I can slot Fiasco for 6 (evening). I'd probably do better with DTFBOP early, as it's less freeform, on-now, and has some prep to guide me through initial bleariness.

Tom C

It's only two sessions each day, over the two days. The times are still being discussed, but it's typically two 4-to-5 hour sessions, with a 1-to-1.5 hour lunch -- and everything is slightly shortened on Sunday. So, you're likely looking at 930 to 100, and 330 to 800 on Saturday, and 9-1, 2-6 on Sunday

Jason_Morningstar

Dang, who plays a game for five hours? Run Fiasco twice in that slot, I guess, and take a coffee break.

Mark_Causey

If anyone wants to run a game and wants people to sign up for it, today's your day! Sign ups begin at 8pm Eastern (if I remember correctly).

Jason_Morningstar

Where, Mark?

Mark_Causey

Please follow this link to the forum. Once there (you'll need to be a member of ENWorld), post a new thread with the title of your game and the time period you want it in (Saturday AM, Saturday PM, Sunday AM, Sunday PM). In the first post, describe the game and list how many seats you have and any alternates you want.

Is this because you can't get the site to work, or that you think I set these up? Don't read anger or anything like that into my question, it's just so easy to get an account and start the threads that I'm not sure why you're asking me to do so for you (and I don't want people thinking I'm running the games).

David Artman

OK, fine--I'll go join EnWorld to make two threads. *snort*

David Artman

(Saturday AM) Dread: The First Book Of Pandemonium
(Saturday PM) Fiasco

David Artman

THERE, dammit--took me a fucking half hour (but I had to write blurbs, so...). I HOPE that you are satisfied. :P

Mark_Causey

It would have taken that long for me to get the blurbs from you AND write a decent paragraph explaining who was running it and why he wouldn't get an account on the site hosting the games, so uhm yeah I'm happy.

David Artman

I'm just fuckin' with ya, Mark. I really didn't much mind (though I don't know when/if I'll ever actually log onto EnWorld again).

Mark_Causey

I wasn't upset. I just don't use smileys well so I may have come off as flippant or bothered.

David Artman

Ooooookay... 12 days later, 90 views of my two threads, and not a single sign-up. Why did I have to do this, again?

Jason_Morningstar

There's a "master list of games" thread, and your offerings don't appear on it David. Not sure what that means, if anything.

I'm bringing a special guest from the west coast and will be ready to run various games, as will he.

David Artman

Added to that thread, but I obviously can't edit Ral's master list post.

Tom C

David, there are always last-minute registrations and walk-ins -- these Gamedays typically operate on the serendipity principle. There are, however, also sometimes games that no one registers for, or that don't get enough people to warrant a session... it happens, but not all that often.

Patience is typically the key thing to remember here, and faith that it will all work out. Don't ask me how -- it's a mystery.

In re: games not posted on the thread, drop a PM to Rel on the site, in addition to the post you've left there, just in case. It's certainly not a slight -- Rel's moderation duties on ENW (plus his day-job) keep him pretty busy, so he might not have seen it.

David Artman

Oh, I didn't think it was a "slight." Just saying I can't add to the "master list" on my own.

I'll just trust that I can get at least 3 folks each session (HAVE to be for Fiasco, and Dread breaks down into teams of 3 well).
