Ah, cool. I've heard a little about this. More indie stuff!

Okay, a few quick questions about the Hyph. What time does it start Er, like, 1:00, I think. We usually get there around 11, dick around for a bit, then get the first session going. We take a break after about four hours when the session's done, eat dinner, and start the second session around 6:00....

Looking a few reliable players for TOON, GHOSTBUSTERS, or or TSR MARVEL SUPER HEROES RPGs. Ack. I wish. Ghostbusters is "the game that got away" for me. Always heard about it, never got to play it. If I lived down there, I'd be all over this. Oh well. Actually, ditto DC Heroes and MSH. I ...

The Pillage of Hommlet ( Cortex+ ) The Village of Hommlet has grown up around a crossroads in a woodland.

Can I change one of the games I'm pimping. Of course -- nothing's final until... what'd I say, the 11th? 10th? I was thinking I would like to run a game of Hackmaster Basic rather than the D&D4E game I pimped above. Cool. I like 4E, but I can play it every week down at the ol' FLGS. Hackmaster ...

Yep, I was going to put KFC Fate but I thought that would just confuse people. It would! In my head I've been calling it Strange FATE, because I like the sound of that, but it's really only applicable to the Kerberos Club setting, what with the use of the word "Strange" and all. Without t...

Hyphen-Con VII: Important Dates and Date-Related Things

Hyphen-Con this year will be held on April 2nd (RPGs) and 3rd (boardgames). Submit (or "pimp," if you will) your game by March 10th . Voting will run from March 11th to March 21st . The selected games will be posted on March 22nd , although it'll be obvious who won anyway by the time voti...

by devlin1

So I am still a little bit unsure if I can make it on that first weekend in April, but if I can make it I want to pimp some games. What is the cut off date to submit some game proposals? Pff... let's say... March 10th? Then we'll do 10 days of voting, which leaves 10 days to get your shit together....

Okay, so since the first and third weekends are tied in terms of attendance problems, and the third weekend conflicts with both Kingdom-Con and Nerdly Beach Party, are we just going to call it the first weekend and get on with it already? I mean, I know you started that other thread, but there's no ...

I stay away from that. Too much pressure. But it does mean we'd lose the whole LA indie gamer cool-kid contingent, which would be a bummer.

by devlin1

I was planning on doing this anyway. I don't see how this is different from if we just ran games at Kingdom-con. The way I see it is we can do both. Run and play games and Kingdom-con and have Hyph on another date. Well, if that's what we as a loose association of gamer-types are going to do, then ...

by devlin1

I really don't understand what this means. We could just run rpgs for KC but how does that make it unique to Hyphen-con. Let me know what you are thinking. I'm thinking we do our thing at/as part of Kingdom-Con -- "fully supporting" it, as it were -- because it's looking like our only Apr...

by devlin1

Forgot about Kingdom-con until Mord mentioned it on his Facebook so I just voted :mrgreen: Chris, what about folding Hyphen-Con into Kingdom-Con this year? I'm afraid it looks like our only practical option if we want to do this in April. Otherwise, we can push it back to June (avoiding Origins wee...

by devlin1

Ugh. That's a problem -- not in the sense of losing people to Kingdom-Con, but because Chris is supposed to be helping out with it, and we don't want to interfere with that . "I suppose we could make Hyphen-Con the RPG component of Kingdom-Con this year," he said, tentatively, knowing full...

by devlin1

Well... ordinarily I'd say we should start another poll to decide between the first and third weekends of April, but since it's March in a few days, picking the first weekend in April would leave very little time to sort out the logistics, so I'm going to suggest we go with the third weekend (the 16...

Setting aside for now the unfortunate double entendre here, you can help determine when Hyphen-Con will be by voting in this thread, if you haven't already.

by devlin1

This is funny! Kind of the opposite of why those games are made in the first place. :mrgreen: That's the joke! And yet, many of them aren't antithetical to dungeon crawling -- they just make the game about something other than killing things and taking their stuff. Using Smallville gives you a game...

jimmy corrigan wrote:yes. and it's cheaper (34% off, free shipping) on amazon.

Yeah, I checked that after I asked. Surprising that Borders doesn't have better deals, considering they're bankrupt and closing 30% of their stores. Pretty much everything in there today was just 20% off.

by devlin1

BTW, Borders has the (now out-of-print) Dark Sun Campaign Guide for 20% off. You guys have played it -- would you say it's worth getting?

Funny, I thought of a fantasy hack for this at one point, too. It would be pretty easy, given the structure of the game. -Chris For sure. All you need are eight Types and eight Roles. Types can easily be races/cultures (Dwarf, Elf, Halfling, and Orc, plus Northern, Southern, Western, and Eastern hu...

Also, I'll probably be putting up Danger Patrol again, that was a big hit last time. As it happens, I started working up (in all my free time) a D&D-ish hack called Dungeon Patrol, but I don't know if I'd pitch it for Hyphen-Con. (I already plan on pitching Hommlet, my Smallville D&D hack, ...

A great time, a lot of fun as usual and possibly the best attended and organized event thus far. Yeah, I'm curious to see the numbers. I think part of the improved organization may have been the location -- it seems like it's a lot easier to coordinate everything with the RPG reg table/sign-ups and...

March 26-27 is GaryCon in Lake Geneva, WI! Surely you wouldn't schedule Hyphen-Con over such a prestigious event??

by devlin1

With only eight votes in, it looks like we're looking at either the first or third weekend of April. I vote for the third, just to give me personally more time to prepare something.

by devlin1

Yeah, the day of boardgames was a big success, so assuming the venue's available I think it's a lock that we'll do that again. Something to think about for this year's Hyphen-Con: Prospective GMs can only submit a maximum of two games. We're not ending up with 40+ candidates again this year. That wa...

There've been some weird problems with no-shows at Strategicon. The most egregious was probably Chris's Mouse Guard game on a Sunday morning. No pre-reg -- you had to sign up for it that morning, starting at eight. He had four (three?) players signed up, and none of them showed. So in the space of, ...
