The mission does not mention anything specifically about the Chinese. There were rumors a number of Chinese subs had been taken from a submersible shipyard that had been raided by parties unknown. The Chinese government would not admit to such a thing, at this point it is just something that was hea...

I'm planning on doing my own one-shot (or similar) with one of my regular groups (probably the one of the ones playing 4th ed currently), so i'm fine for player status in this one.

Re: the next (first) meeting on the 2nd - is this going to be a daytime sort of thing or evening/night?

SpaceMonkey

I think that's fine for me on the 2nd.

SpaceMonkey

Were you ever able to download? I did all my sign-ups and everything, but the link they sent me after still just brings up the sign-up form... kinda annoying

SpaceMonkey

I think you meant 'week' not 'weekend' as in - tonight. And yes, we don't seem to have a playable size group for this evening. Also venue. John and i were thinking about doing some board games up in San Marcos though..

SpaceMonkey

I'm down.

I could only get it to work in IE, and crappily there. Chrome/FF - got nothin'. It is an older style mod, if i get time maybe i'll poke around for a newer one. One that doesn't leave clutter in my ACP and force a database restore.

SpaceMonkey

The impression I got is that the default for PCs is that psychics are taught by their order but then they join up with Aeon Trinity. Also, nothing preventing you from playing an Ascendent and rival/lacky. I think it is more that Aeon/Trinity works with the orders (nebulous as to exact nature of hie...

SpaceMonkey

Would it be better to make a character that belongs to the same organization as one of the other PCs or make one from left field. My left field choice: I downloaded the Asia Ascendent unpublished supplement a couple weeks back and the cyber agents of the Nihonjin look pretty fun. Otherwise I was th...

SpaceMonkey

I am back from camping. Apparently things are happening tonight.

For those making characters, has anyone informed you there are 18 xp you can spend in addition to baseline chargen?

[[From Mord]] Everybody: Shawn has expressed the desire to make pot roast in the crock pot for Thursday night, and wanted me to pass the word around in case you guys wanted to, you know, eat some of that instead of spending hard earned cash on something less yummy. Incidentally, I discovered that I ...

SpaceMonkey

good to see you round dude!

SpaceMonkey

I don't know nuthin' bout no facebook, but if you find a mod for that I can see about installing it. phpbb3.0.10

SpaceMonkey

Half a day to go folks!

Don't forget to bring your trades!

SpaceMonkey

usually mord does that, but i'll give it a go:

usually Mord does this, but i'll save him a little typing and just parrot his post from last year's con:

SpaceMonkey

Yeah, these are pretty cool - they have some on display at GenCon usually. Kinda nifty, but if i'm spending that kind of dough (I'm not) I'd rather get a large touchscreen and program an interactive map, for example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n94E3IeBquY ..course that's not really at the level ...

Also, i'm showing 18 unique voters on the poll, a few didn't do three votes presumably. Chris B said he may be bringing three other people and I know a couple planning on attending that didn't get off their butts to vote, so that's potentially 23 already and there are always a few up in the air or d...

SpaceMonkey

Hrm.. I think we actually did 8 games last year, 2 slots of 4 each. Dunno why i was thinking six this time around. I'll correct above, but we do have 3 games with 3 votes, which would present a problem -however: We were also thinking about combining the fiasco and hobo games together into one slot. ...

SpaceMonkey

Ok, and the votes are in! GMs, get preppin'! If you didn't get in the top 8 (possibly 10) but still want to bring your game, please do so - sometimes things happen and we need a backup. Remember there will also be a 3rd (unofficial) session for those folks that like to stay up late. We'll have an in...

SpaceMonkey

also apparently it ends at 1:02 due to daylight savings and the fact that i set the poll timer before we switched over. so... vote if you still want to! (note, if you haven't done so, you can set DST in your User Control Panel on the Board Preferences -> Edit Global Settings -> Summer Time/DST radio...

SpaceMonkey

Hrm.. since the voting is by a standard simple poll, i don't think we can 'tweak' it manually. I guess if they want to register they can sign in and vote, otherwise feel free to just drop a note in the posts down here and we'll manually add them to the RSVP total so we know we have extra incoming.

SpaceMonkey

thanks, i'll update.

SpaceMonkey

Voting Guidelines: You have 3 votes, use them wisely (you can vote less if you want). Voting Ends Sunday around noon Again, please vote even if you can't decide on games, use the RSVP option so we have a general headcount. Thanks, and get to it! If you need recaps on the games, check the Pimp your G...

SpaceMonkey

Ok, submissions are officially closed! We've got a bunch of great games as usual, so head on over to the Voting Thread to tell us what you want to see run at The Hyph! Please vote if you are coming to the con, even if you can't decide on games. This gives us a loose RSVP/headcount so we know what to...

SpaceMonkey

Ok folks, we are entering the final push for throwing your hat in the ring for running a game. If you have been procrastinating, now is the time. The submission window will close sometime Monday morning (probably closer to afternoon, actually), so get them in this weekend if you want to be on the vo...

Man my little pony reminds me of that year they ran Strawberry Shortcake adventure Apocalyptic Strawberry Shortcake. Important distinction ;) Hyphencon 2010. And I sure wasn't (Steely/Geeky/Crazed?) enough to model it in GURPS. All I felt like managing was PDQ(Sharp-ish). My props to the Ponies' St...

Moved a few old things to the Graveyard. Mostly stuff without a post in > a year. If anyone wants any of those moved back, just let me know, but i'd like to de-clutter the index page a little (less scrolling is good ;)) Also put in some new ranks, random iconic stuff from various rpg genres, sorted ...

Really up to Andy in the end, but traditionally we have had first game start at about 12 or 12:30. doors open at 11am. I assume a similar format this time around.

Sounds cool, I had fun at the playtests. I have (arguably*) too many games already though....

From that description, i assume the DM still needs to know his shit though. I don't really consider that a bad thing, but it is nice for the 'essentials' type editions that there is a somewhat smaller 'barrier to entry' for new DMs. If this takes away from that it may be a bad thing in that regard.

Also info on Wizards here: http://www.wizards.com/dnd/Article.aspx?x=dnd/4ll/20120109 I can't say i'm really all that surprised, other than the timing (and it may still be a year or two till it comes out anyway).

Also, it appears the 'ranks' from the old forums came through, but without post threshold numbers (or maybe they were just set manually on the old boards? i'm not sure). Either way, we don't currently have any real ranks setup. These are the values in there: Associate Associate Evil Capo Caporegima ...

John and I both say with the 'yes' option included.

well, work is done. reckon i'll go home and see you guys saturday then.

SpaceMonkey

i don't have my cell today either, so if plans are made or whatnot please post or email me.

SpaceMonkey

pirate island AFMBE i think. maybe sun morn so i can play more awesome stuff

SpaceMonkey

i concur with whatever side says we game.

SpaceMonkey

jigga-wha?

SpaceMonkey

I don't know what the plan is for Thurs, honestly. Might be possible to fit that in since we are (maybe) doing a 'between games game' kinda thing. But we also might be slated for KFScion chargen?

SpaceMonkey

i'll probably be about 15 after 6 or so.

SpaceMonkey

shouldn't be an issue for me.
