I missed this last year because of the pandemic, and while it's still happening, now I'm used to it, so:

Happy Weathertop Stabbing Day, my friends. To my non-friends, I wish a baseline Weathertop Stabbing Day.

Does it bother anyone else that the vote count is at 29? That scofflaw out there didn't use their third vote?

Thanks!

I don't know what's happening with the forum code there, but whatever.

devlin1

Hey, I changed the names of my games, but they aren't changed in the poll!

devlin1

I don't know what happened to the old thread, so here's a new one just to say...

(opens card)

I hope that you and yours have a
HAPPY WEATHERTOP STABBING DAY!

Is no one going to pitch a Feast of Legends game? Is there a Wendy's near Kore?

devlin1

Okay, games are PITCHED. Is it a bad idea that one of my pitches is for a game I've only played once while the other is for a game that will require me reading at least one Star Wars novel before I'll feel comfortable with it? I think it probably is, but imagine the payoff...!

devlin1

I will only run one of these! A Crossover Crisis on Mars ( John Carter of Mars ) When spies report that Zodanga is abuzz with rumors of an unusual captive being held in one of the city's prisons, the Jeddak of Helium must know more. A small band of the Jeddak's agents is dispatched to infiltrate Zod...

devlin1

Okay, I will do all I can to be there. I do appreciate you scheduling this around my whining (which does take up a lot of my time), so the least I can do is try to make it.

Gotta think of two games to pitch, is all.

devlin1

Do we know what games will be scheduled in which slot yet? Trying to decide if coming down for the first slot will be at all practical for me.

devlin1

I think I may be able to attend for one slot, so... I probably shouldn't vote.

devlin1

Hey, that's that time of God-damned year again -- Weathertop Stabbing Day! I hope you're all celebrating indoors in a manner that complies with federal knife-safety standards.

devlin1

November 11th and 12th! There's zero chance I can make that. November 11th is both my mom's birthday and my mother-in-law's birthday, plus that weekend is also probably going to be an Extra Life charity event in San Diego.

devlin1

So what's everyone doing for Halloween? I'm dressing up as Frodo with a knife sticking out of him.

HAPPY WEATHERTOP STABBING DAY

devlin1

Ooh, uh... hm. There's a good chance I won't be able to make this. Hopefully it works out otherwise.

devlin1

Ditto! A good turnout and fun games. Thanks to everyone who attended, and special thanks to Kore.

devlin1

I'm bringing nametags. As usual, we'll have a few new or sorta-new faces this year.

mordraine wrote: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.

Works for me! That makes it more likely for me to be there, actually.

SpaceMonkey wrote:yeah I'll close it. Looks like Mordraine and Devlin1 are running games!

Oh, I thought there was only one slot left! Okay then.

devlin1

Can we consider the polling place closed?

devlin1

Posted for Mordraine (he gets a pass on the lateness of his submittal due to hosting this thing for us. Also another slot opened up, so more choices may be good.) If it wasn't for bad luck... You are a group of down on their luck mercenary adventurers who have reluctantly taken on the job of saving...

toddvdw wrote:Clearly, Mike, I forgot to sign up. (No, I might be moving that weekend. Still don't know. Which means I wouldn't be able to go.)

Well, hopefully you can make it. You're so busy these days shaping the course of popular culture, I feel like I never see you anymore!

devlin1

Needs more games.

Not that those don't sound like great games, but... 10 games for probably six slots? Seems like there should be more. What happened?

devlin1

Yay, pitches!

But there's a limit of two pitches. You wanna delete one of those, or do you want Sam to?

Danger Wars (Stars Wars/Danger Patrol) IT IS A DARK TIME FOR THE REBELLION... ...and that's all I've got. We'll make the rest up at the table. This is a Star Wars hack of John Harper's Danger Patrol (Beta Edition) I did recently and I'm eager to see how it works in play. If you're not familiar with...

Big Bad Con's a good time, though! You'll have fun.

Oh, the Nazgul outside are stabful, So you're sure to get a jabful, And it's looking like they won't stop On Weathertop, Weathertop, Weathertop. Well we've got this knife for stabbin', And a Ring we'll soon be grabbin'. These hobbits are basically fops on Weathertop, Weathertop, Weathertop. When we ...

Contraints: No knowledge of system or whatever needed, obviously, but for best experience this game works best with 5-6 hours , and audio. That may be a problem, y'understand -- these are four-hour slots. Warning : I have a 60% chance of being able to go to the Hyph, and I won't know until a little...

HYPH-X

Games on Demand slot?

devlin1

Oh... Mr. Devlin1's comment made me read through the thread a bit more carefully - I'm not sure there isn't some sort of in-joke or slang I'm not getting maybe? Is the Defection game a diceless fudge system as the SpaceMonkey says? I just moved to San Diego and your convention sounds really fun! So...

Ugh, you guys! I want to play OVA, but realistically speaking I won't be able to play two games anyway if I'm running one too.

devlin1

Hey, I just wanted to let you all know that I might not be able to make the Hyph this year. I've had a family emergency come up and I might be out of state when HyphenCon happens. Since I'm supposed to be running a game you might want to pick an alternate game for my slot just in case. Sorry, Morga...

mcellis wrote:It's also a shame about the Space Usagi game I would have happily played both.

Ditto. As always, it's tough to pick three. I was also hoping to try out OVA.

devlin1

Yay, D&D: Traveller Edition! Now I just have to figure out something for us to do with it.

I'm thinking maybe I should run, or try to run, the first Hyphen-Con game I ever ran, years ago -- Buckaroo Banzai -- but using Atomic Robo, because GOD FORBID I RUN SOMETHING OTHER THAN ATOMIC ROBO. Y'know, to mark this momentous anniversary.

Everyone wants it in April except Chris.

So....

Thanks, Kore Technologies.

And thanks, Andy.

Thandy.

I'll be prepared to run my Sparks Nevada game. It needs playtesting!

Hey celebrants! How are your Weathertop Stabbing Day revels going? We've already fried the tomatoes and lit the torches. Next up, of course: the traditional Shrieking in the Night! Followed by stabbing.
