Revision as of 16:30, 22 November 2008
This page is for discussion of stuff related to the game coming up this week, no matter when that actually is. For instance, we can all assume Nate isnt coming for some lame reason and that Ed is sick of pizza and is bringing teriyaki or some other crap. They can post something here if that happens to be untrue.

Attendance and Food Preference
11/21/08
BEN: frankly, the whole lot of you can eat a dick. Mine, specifically, just as soon as your collective mothers are done with it. Which won't be for a while. As to what's happening, Jason and Rumi and I are going to get together and hang out, along with my sister, who is recovering fine from her tooth extraction. We'll probably rock some board games and some magic cards...probably board games first so Dieter can play 1/2 a game before we have to reset, and then magic cards, I would guess. jason is bringing over a big mass of commons, some of which I may buy to add to our collection. See the rest of you in two weeks, unless any of you are at your mom's house(s), in which case you'll probably see me (and a lot more of me than you might want) a lot sooner.
--Gdaze-- Hummmm okay, I'll try to stop by later if I can. No promises, which means like almost no chance, but m'eh.
In other news, I may be renting out my moms' 2nd place (2 story 3 bathroom). This could be an alternate gaming house if need be, just thorwing it out there.
BEN: good to know. Depending on what kind of roommate I get we may need it.
--Gdaze-- Yeah, its not SURE yet but looking good.
Hey, what about the day after Thanksgiving? I actually can and want to do something that day.
Ranting and raving or other random comments
Edmiao Any LOTR fans out there? Where there's a whip...there's a way!
--Brandon 20:49, 19 November 2008 (MST) Ed, I love that clip! It brings back memories!
--Gdaze-- Indeed, this is one of the few songs I remember!
Edmiao Jason, we got a spam bot on the main page again.
Other RPG or Non-RPG or Monthly Board Gaming Day gaming Events
BEN: an idea I have been tossing around, and that I may or may not try to pursue in the next couple of months, is a schedule-less game. What I mean is: a game in which the group doesn't meet at a specific, recurring time, but just agrees, via wiki, when the next session will be...the next day, five days from then, a month from then. The game only takes place when everyone can attend. I envision this as a small game (3-4 players), using a system with a very strong narrativist streak. I have no idea yet what genre I would want to set this in, but I think it would be something with a lot of politicking and intra- and inter-character RPing and development, with a plot driven almost exclusively by the players, significant cause-effect consequences, etc (what Gemini was supposed to be, basically...I understand that this doesn't sound appealing to many, but it is a game type I still really want to explore). As such, it would probably be something like "Vampire: the masquerade" (possibly using Sabbat characters), "Hunters hunted" (White wolf mortals) or something similar if I used a published setting, or "City of Tears", "Black Sun, White Moon" or something similar if home-brewed.
Anyways, if you or someone you know would want to be part of something like this (this would NOT in any way impact friday games, obviously, which are still my primary gaming priority), just send me an email. If there's sufficient interest, and I decide that I have time/motivation to make this happen, I'll let interested parties know how it may go down, and make a new page on the wiki here for it.
BEN: I think if I ran this game, it would likely be set in the world of "the league of extraordinary gentlemen" (the comic, not the movie).
GABE: Even though I would most likely be unable to join this, what about that one system/world you got? The one about the family who like use to rule the world, and now the brother controls it? That seems like a fairly heavy RP system.
BEN: Lesser shades of evil? That's a good idea. It can definitely go on the list. I guess the main thing will be what genre I want to run. My favorite RPG genre is fantasy, but I've already got that one covered. So I want to think about what other genres I haven't hit satisfactorily in the past. I'd consider doing a game set in Gemini again, like 20 years later after all the shit you guys did leads to the formation of a new fascist Regime in the distant system and the outbreak of a system-wide cold war.
Edmiao friday gaming is my max for ditching cheryl, i think. so i'm out.
Nate here: I don't know how long this has been up, but I would definitely be down for a Vampire game. Obviously I can really only do weekends so it would have to be on a sat. or sunday, but let me know if it would work out.
--Dieter the Bold 13:06, 3 November 2008 (MST) Just picked up The Burning Wheel over the weekend and am reading through it. Was highly recommended by a panel at PAX and I'm liking what I'm reading so far. So far I'm getting a "Dogs in the Vineyard" feel for it, but with a Cyberpunk-style system backing it up. Should I continue liking it all the way through the GM's and Player's guides, I will run a one-shot. Of some kind.
JASON: Anyone up for a game day either this Saturday or the first weekend in December?
--Dieter the Bold 12:42, 11 November 2008 (MST) I'd be down.
JASON: We are having a get together on Thanksgiving, so if any of you want to ditch the folks or have no folks nearby, let me know and we will make space for you!
