Ah, okay. I'll see how it goes during game-play and adjust as necessary. It's been a while since visiting my system. I imagine I'll tweak it here and there with input from everyone.

More info: Our mini-campaign (probably around 5 sessions, just long enough to take up the time that Albert is rehearsing for his play) will be taking place in Alera Imperia, the capital. It is a hotbed of political activity, as well as other more physical dangers. Everyone is welcome to create whate...

Did we have issues with Metal? I don't remember. What, in your opinion needs changing?

Next game!! Savage Worlds hack for the Codex Alera setting created by Jim Butcher!! The descendants of the Lost Roman Legion apparently stepped through a dimensional portal into the wild and brutal world of Carna. As the generations passed, they forged a Romanesque empire called Alera. The capital c...

Hey all, There are several new folks who have never been to The Hyph before and need an address and other details (and several returnees who probably don't remember that stuff as well). So here are the pertinent details for Hyphen-Con VII 2011: [Mod Edit: Old address removed] Saturday RPG Day - Door...

Don't ever say Mike is not dedicated to his jokes.

mordraine

Come on someone, break the D&D/PDQ tie!

mordraine

Dark Laundry! Wash in Cold! Tumble Dry Low! Air-to-Ground Missile!

mordraine

Andy is indeed cool with you showing up on his doorstep on Friday. He is also cool with Hyph-eve gaming.

He's also going to stop referring to himself in third person. After this post.

mordraine

Hmm. Interesting concept!

mordraine

It's Dogs and Adventure! for me.

Oops, I'm late to respond to the requests for crash-space. Sorry about that!

Mike will no doubt be claiming my guest room as is the custom, but I also have a couch that is available.

mordraine

I know Cthulhu wants to pimp a couple of games but hasn't gotten his lazy ass over here on this thread to post them yet. I'll get 'em in just so he has the spots on the poll. He wants to do an adventure with The Laundry, and also one with Slipstream.

mordraine

Happy Brothday.

Anyway, the guy around here for BECMI D&D (and other early D&D iterations) is mordraine. We usually play a session of Rules Cyclopedia D&D this time of year to commemorate Gygax's death. True, I am that guy. And if it weren't for the fact that I'm already in too many games, I might go f...

mordraine

My first thing, as previously mentioned is Operation: Blackbird (the '60s Spy adventure based on Lady Blackbird).

My second thing will be a Gamma World (4eD&D) game called "Hijinx in See Wod" and will involve mutated Killer Whales and hive-mind penguins.

While we're on the subject of Sheenisms:

Yeah OK! I'll figure out a scenario.

Venue confirmed, BTW.

mordraine

OK, everyone who wants to run a game at The Hyph this year, post your ideas here, and then we'll start a poll for the games. The only restriction is - only suggest a max of TWO game ideas. I only have one: Operation Blackbird - Can the world's best secret agents stop the evil organization B.E.D.L.A....

mordraine

I'm not for merging The Hyph with Kingdom-Con. If it weren't for the fact that Chris is volunteering for it, I wouldn't even care that it's on the same weekend. They've got virtually NO RPG's (except for what Chris has volunteered to run). I definitely want The Hyph to stay its own event. As far as ...

Yes we are. KFC Part 2.

Cars of the future don't have accidents. And they're made of ultra-light steel.

Don't you usually buy a ticket during the convention for the next year's convention?

mordraine

Dominion early on sounds good! We're heading in to a fight scene right at the onset of this session, but we can hand-wave Albert's character if need be.

mordraine

Question - John and Simon will both be late. Albert will be out (he's in Berkeley). Should we do something else tonight?

mordraine

One of those April dates might be bad for me, but I'm not sure. So I'm checking in to it. Can't vote 'til I know.

mordraine

Um... Nope, nothing yet. Everyone retooled their characters based on the new rules and the consensus was that the new rules are WAY easier and a lot less time consuming. So there's that. There was discussion about the Variable trapping - I mentioned that you wanted to give it two trapping costs: Var...

And the next time you need over-the-top, crazy, Indian sci-fi, robotic, action-packed awesomeness for a game, click here. You will not be sorry, I guarantee.

I'd like to say that I feel your pain, but I don't actually. But feel better dude! We'll see you next week.

mordraine

Incidentally, Shawnie's making a full turkey dinner for tomorrow. Everything will be provided except BYOB. We have soda too.

mordraine

Let's say 4pm.

mordraine

I don't really feel like running anything this time, but on the other hand, I don't really feel like paying to get in either. Le sigh. If I can get my ass in gear, I'll be running that Lady Blackbird '60s Spy hack I'm working on. Incidentally, what's the state of submissions? Is it too late to submi...

It's only fair, since we'll be criticizing your game all night.

Excellent!

mordraine

OK, most everyone is on for Jan 22 playtest. Chris will not be there, but I believe the rest of us will. Most likely we'll still be playing our Dark Sun campaign, so I guess this session will be sort of a prequel to our regular campaign that will be starting up after that. I've been drafted into run...

mordraine

We shall discuss tonight. I'll let you know.

We also have to post more detailed impressions of our Chargen session from Saturday...

mordraine

I see that no one has responded as of yet to Mike's post. Mike we're gonna run a reg'lar type campaign on Mondays for KFC. So if you come down for a playtest that would be good, but what are your thoughts? One-shot? A part of our campaign? Also, since it's a playtest, would you be ok if someone else...

mordraine

Awesomest misspelling evar!

(also - yes, see everyone tonight)

Actually the long drive was me going up to DiceHouse. I live in San Diego. I'll PM you then.

mordraine

Yeah!

The current playtest material he sent out is only meant for Chargen, but I'm assuming a second (or third) package will be forthcoming and will include the entire manuscript for doing a campaign.

I'm definitely up for that.

mordraine

I playtested in Oct at DiceHouse! Yay!

I'm also interested in this, but I'd have to find out the when and where.

*sigh* rpg.net is good for a larf now and again. the mods over there... let's just say some of them have an inflated sense of self-importance. they are the law. And the other thing, which I find more alarming, is the whole sense of the user base acting like over-zealous tattle-tales. It's like they...

mordraine

So today I was perusing this thread on RPGnet re: RPGs using the Pacific Northwest a lot, and I came across this post, which I thought of as innocuous and maybe a tad amusing: It rains here. A lot. Good for vampires and all sorts of other basement dwellers, like RPG writers. OK, no biggie. It didn't...
