Is April 24 official?

Also known as 'The Hyph' or the more wordy 'rpg-sandiego all-day meet-up'. This is the place to discuss everything related to our yearly November mini-con.

Awesome that April 24th is confirmed. I'm looking forward to my first Hyph! What does the schedule tend to look like? I know the actual voting for games isn't complete yet, but what times are the games usually held?

Doors open at 11am. Typically the first session starts around noon or 1. But as close to noon as we can get it. That'll last four hours. Then there's typically an hour break. So the second session will start between 5 and 6 and run another four hours. Everything should wrap up by 10pm at the latest. Some folks hang around for late-late games, which are usually off-the-cuff. I've been known to run DRYH on occasion. Other people bring other stuff.

And don't forget that this year will be the first time we do Day 2, board games!

Yes! Board-game Day! w00t! Doors will open at 11am for that one too. Game times will be much more loose however. And we'll probably end earlier than 10pm too. But we'll play it by ear.

It'll be my first HypenCon, and only second con ever. And I'll be bringing a friend, if there's room. So, you know, woot!

Of course there's room! I hope, anyway. Mord's is a big office. My only concern is having enough games to accommodate all those players. There's a chance we may have to call in one of the alternates!

We're coming mainly for the Danger Patrol game, but I can always be talked into a Savage Worlds game of any stripe.

The current poll indicates that a stripe of Savage Worlds will be happening, so you're in luck.

Someone who is familiar with 'In a Wicked Age' should keep that game in their back pocket for some truly impromptu badassery.

Our go-to is usually DRYH, actually. I'm not sure if any of us even own IAWA -- which is too bad, because I'd really like to check it out somehow.

I have it and read it. Not exactly sure how to run it but I think there are enough games that we won't have worry about another one.
