GenCon Preparations

[Tadanori Oyama]

Maybe is better than no. Interested in demonically possessed American soliders; demi-gods chasing debunked Russian myths; or Delta Green agents infiltrating a private medical facility as patients?

I should be free after 8 Saturday night.  I have a Grim War game starting at 4.

Shit Tad, I responded to the wrong thread. I won't be able to be at GenCon this year. I thought you were talking about online gaming / Skype.

I was a little surprised at the idea of you going to GenCon, given you just had a kid, like, last week. Though if I get my phyiscal props turned into digital ones than Skyping the games might be fun too.

what are you going to get at gencon?

I am going to get Dark Sun, MY BOOK, and the laundry RPG if its available.

Meet Up idea: We meet at the embassy suites lobby but then move somewhere quieter after the initial meet because that place is noisy as shit. We can get some food and then I could run one of two scenarios depending on the number of people who show up:

Option A: A DG scenario that is very lethal

Option B: Basically this

All assassins are PCs

That's right - Team death match

My top picks are the same as Ross.  Road Trip, Dark Sun ( may wait for it though and get it at home ), Laundry, Dread House, Dogs in the Vineyard ( yeah, I know I am late on this ), some really precise dice, cheap minis, random CoC stuff that strikes my fancy and Eclipse Phase.  Ugh, that is a lot of stuff.  They always say don't go to the grocery store hungry or you buy too much stuff.

I vote assassins, if we get to. I'd love to play an insult flinging brute killer.

Dark Sun, White Wolf's new Mage and Vampire books (if the Vampire one is off the presses), Road Trip, original MAOCT (I only have the PBF right now), and basically anything else I can lay my greedy hands on. I'm probably gonna hit the indy game section hard looking for speciality systems and fluff books. And gadgets. I fucking love gadgets. Better than even odds by the time we do the meet up I have something in my bag which makes use of magets.

I wish I could be there to play in the assassins game because it reminds me a lot of the game Ross ran based on Smokin' Aces, which ended up being my farewell game when we left Springfield. It, of course, was not recorded.

It would be hard to top "I'm going to peel your skin off and use it as a condom and fuck your mother".  The bar is set pretty high.  But it looks like fun.  I mean the assassins game, not the other stuff.

I forgot I found some other stuff to get at Gencon.  Fiasco, Hell 4 Leather, Swords without master.  And I am going to look at the boardgame It's Complicated to see if it would work for non-gamers.

Can you guys give this the old college try? I haven't had a chance to game test it after writing it up earlier this year: Wasponia (URL to a PDF)

Hey, you got a PDF together, cool. I'll try it. Probably won't be able to run it at GenCon but I can try with some friends when I get back.

I haven't done anything with the PDF except convert the old doc file. I'll edit it more once it's tested a bit.

Fact: RPPR boys are stopping in STL for lunch on their way through to GenCon.

or there will be much glaring and gnashing of teeth.

You'll probably have to deal with Tom on that one. He will run down anyone who gets in his way to Indiana.
