Hey everybody! Long time no forum! My games, in no particular order: Bullets and Bourbon A wild west game that’s loosely based on Lasers and Feelings. Scenario to be determined but also heavily dependent on PCs. There’s a Devil’s Bargain mechanic that involves drinking bourbon but I think I’ll just ...

I have two games that I would like to run:

1. Blades in the Dark - the original! Become a gang of criminals trying to make it in the dirty, dark, industrial city of Doskvol!

2. Arabian World - an Al Qadim conversion for Dungeon World. Fantasy adventure in a world of genies and flying carpets!

mordraine

OK, so here's my idea - Monde de la Bête! Essentially, it's Animal D&D (using 5e). All races will be animal races. Standard classes. But the setting is all animals. Also moving the tech level forward a little (think flintlock rifles and pistols, sabres, dirks, etc, emerging imperialistic nations) I'...

Ape Missions! You are part of a team of subversive Simian resistance fighters, struggling to save other primates from the transgressions and experimentations of the humans (gorilla guerrillas so to speak). You and your team are unique, as far as you've been told. The only intelligent apes and monke...

Quick announcement for those who are still paying attention - the Sunday board game day will start late this year. I have a previous engagement in the morning. So probably won't get there until around noon or 12:30pm.

Enter the Black Bird
70's Kung fu hack of Lady Blackbird. Need I say more?
HUAAAAAAAAAH!!!!

mordraine

Incidentally, Kore has moved, which also means the location of HyphenCon has moved too!

The new address is:
5186 Carroll Canyon Rd
San Diego, CA 92121

It's a one story building.

Here are my submissions. I have two ideas - a) ACTION-COOL-TEAM! A game based on '70-'80s action adventure TV shows (like A-Team, Charlie's Angels, Starsky and Hutch, Riptide, Blue Thunder, etc), using the Lady Blackbird system. b) PPAS - Pentex Predicament Avoidance Squad. A crack group of ultra-co...

Hi everyone!

Hey guess what? I'm attending. And I'm submitting a game. I've been very lacking in getting over to the forums and replying over here. Bad me.

mordraine

I like the idea of having a shared past that allows our characters to know each other. I'd like it to be a little broader, however, so that there is the possibility of choosing from any of the races/careers/etc in the book. For instance, if I choose to be a Gobber Thief, it'll be hard to explain how...

mordraine

Wow, this Iron Kingdoms book is beautiful!

mordraine

I did not know/remember that re: MonsterHearts. Grr. MH now moves to the bottom of the list.

mordraine

I'd be interested in a campaign of Monster Hearts. I'd only be interested in Apocalypse World if we replace the Sex Moves with something else. Because they're just plain annoying. Dungeon World is less interesting to me because (a) there are a lot of other D&D versions out there, and we've been ther...

Does anyone need directions to get there?

-Chris

Hi everyone - sorry but I have to move back the start time from noon to 2pm. I have several errands to run in the morning, and won't get everything done by noon.

Sorry!

mordraine

Yes I agree with Chris.

Wren Fellows - clairesentient, member of ISRA, ex-priest.

mordraine

As opposed to seeing you square.

mordraine

Hey, I'm curious. Would anyone be interested in me bringing in Blood Bowl? I've got at least two boards, and several teams. They're not all painted, but I got 'em nonetheless. -Chris I'd say bring it anyway, even if it doesn't get played, at least the option is there. I will be bringing Ticket To R...

Thanks for posting Sam! I been bizzy.

More Lady Blackbird hacks for me this year I'm afraid. Blackbird High School - Japanese Anime High School Girls! Strange goings on at Blackbird High are not such an uncommon experience. Demons, otherworldly portals, alien invasions... But who's got time for that when you have to study for the Biolog...

mordraine

I'll be GMing so I don't have character ideas, but here are some ideas for props, settings, villains and plot hooks that are evocative of pulp, and might be fun to add in there: * Shadowy organization of evil * Egyptian pyramids or other ancient ruins * archeological digs * bi-planes * old European ...

mordraine

Sorry guys, I didn't get on all day so this is the first I'm seeing of this. Anyway, yeah Saturday!

mordraine

Monday games won't probably happen for a while. They delayed go-live of my project to January. D'oh!

mordraine

I am running:

Lady Silver Age Avengers Bird.

Figure THAT out.

mordraine

I'm good.

mordraine

Chris is out of town this week and we WERE trying to figure something out. We asked Albert to run something, but if he isn't in the mood then we were going to make characters for our next game. However, I would definitely not be opposed to doing a little award-winning Cthulhu with Simon! How about e...

mordraine

My favorite game - Sorcerer, run by Mr. Burnenko. Fun stuff. We're now thinking about doing Sorcerer in our Monday group.

OK, 6pm is a good start time for me.

mordraine

Sorry to hear that Simon!

mordraine

I apologize profusely for not getting back on the forums until today. Life kinda swept me along for the last bunch of days. So I'm sorry to stordyr that we couldn't hook up for a little gaming. Would've been fun!

mordraine

There is a slim opportunity that something might happen at my place on Saturday night, in which case you are more than welcome to join us stordyr! I will update as I find more info. What sort of games do you usually like playing?

mordraine

For those of you who left early, I won't be in town next Monday cuz I'll be up in Berkeley attending Sam's graduation.

mordraine

Very cool!

Also, link?

As far as I know, yeah.

mordraine

I haven't even had the time or energy to *think* about it. I was going to run a Savage Alera game, but I haven't come up with any scenario ideas.

I also considered a Cthulhu Dark Laundry game too. But I dunno.

Chris actually cancelled all his games.

mordraine

This is fine for me as well. 6pm can be difficult.

devlin1 wrote:Really? C'mon, you don't have a moment where the fart kinda draws you in and makes you say "Wow, that's quite a fart"? Forget about games now -- I'm just talking about farts.

That only relates to my own farts. As George Carlin says about your own farts: "That's fairly decent!"

mordraine

Wow, thanks for the kind words, Hamish!

mordraine

To be clear - I think PC conflict can be fun and great. But in Smallville it's the end-all and be-all of the game. And *that* I'm not interested in. It's just a visceral reaction. Like smelling a fart. I cringe back from it.

mordraine

we are!

So glad everyone had fun! I did as well. Great con! It was so good to see everyone down from L.A and O.C. in addition to all our locals. Missed a few people due to circumstances beyond their control, but hopefully they'll be back next year (shout out to Aaron, Stephen, Liz, James and all the other H...

Cool, I'll probably play a High Lord or the child of a High Lord (whatever works best) High lords are very powerful, but a son, daughter or other member of the high lord house would work perfectly. I will be posting cities and their ruling families at some point to give you an idea of who's around ...

mordraine

Oh, I just remember you thought it was too good and/or fiddly. As I recollect now, I believe I thought it was potentially unbalanced that metal-crafters didn't have to make a vigor check whenever they used their powers. But on the other hand, their power is pretty restrictive compared to the other ...
