Today's the last day to submit games! Anyone? I'm running Dungeon Patrol Saturday night and Agents of F.A.T.E. Sunday morning. (And Keep on the Borderlands Friday night for my new occasional LA-based D&D group. Woot!) It's a tight schedule for me. Ideally, it looks like this: Friday Afternoon Vi...

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. Well, just register them with vague blurbs and think of something later. No problem! Or c...

I plan on running the Firefly game from Hyphen-Con. I also planned on running Exalted using KFC Fate but I don't really have the time for that so something a little lighter. Maybe Zorzerer of Zoe. Zo would be cool. I imagine you'll get a healthy turnout for Firefly, especially using that new-fangle...

Gamex 2011: It Never Ends

Seems like Hyphen-Con was just a few weeks ago, but get over that shit, because Gamex is right around the corner. Event submission closes May 5th or something, so what are people going to run? Me, I'm going to run a session of Agents of F.A.T.E. and one or two sessions of Dungeon Patrol, my in-progr...

Ugh. Too true.

I'm going to try to give it a good read-through this week sometime. Good on you for doing it and getting it out there.

Kingdom-Con?

So, did anyone check out Kingdom-Con this past weekend? If so, how was't?

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.

In Smallville instead of skills you have relationships. You gain extra dice by challenging these relationships. You can also buy new relationships easily. This makes the about the relationships and since all the PCs are starting relationships you are encouraged to deal with them. Well, and your Val...

Hyphen-Con RAW: Bring Your Cream!

by devlin1

That would have meant no mega-Jenga tower in the Dread game. Unacceptable! Well, that's why it's a separate event. Hyphen-Con can remain the virtual hack-fest it was this year, if people ( the people) so choose, while Hyphen-Con RAW would be a challenging exercise in self-restraint. Anyway. I know ...

Hail and well-met, Eorin Silverleaf. May the Wandering Gnomes smile upon this, the day of your birth.

(I know I haven't kept up with Eorin Silverleaf's birthday as well as I have with Grandma Stab's, but I'm doing my best.)

Hyphen-Con RAW! All games must be run with the rules as written. No hacks!

Had a total blast at the Hyph this year! It was my first time doing the whole thing from beginning to end. Won't be happening again, I am EXHAUSTED! Bah. You have a whole year to recover. Fantastic con once again. Yay for us! Thanks to everyone who came and made it great, especially those who came ...

Here's what I have learned about my malady: All of my symptoms are, in fact, part of the sinusitis -- the fever, the faux pinkeye, all of it -- and the majority of cases last for 10 days. Whether I stay here or go there this weekend, I'll still have it. And it's not like I'm going down there to play...

So... there's a good chance I won't be able to make it tomorrow night. I've been fighting a number of ailments all week, and I'm in a pretty bad way. Pretty, pretty, pretty miserable, actually. Anyway, if you don't hear from me tomorrow, just assume I won't be there, and then if I show up, hooray! S...

I haven't played it, but I'm curious to check it out. Hamish (who will be at Hyphen-Con) ran a Fiasco Tomb of Horrors at OrcCon. And Morgan's mentioned possibly running an off-the-books Fiasco game (like we have books!) at Hyphen-Con, possibly on Sunday. It's a GM-less game, so... that's kinda like ...

Oh, I just remember you thought it was too good and/or fiddly.

by devlin1

Jealous again. I haven't even read these books, but my single experience with your Alera hack last year was a lot of fun. Have you changed how Metal works?

by devlin1

Yep -- good times! I only got to play in the morning Dogs game, but it was fun. Looking forward to next weekend.

I have it on good authority that a whole car-load of someones are coming all the way down from LA! Do [s]we[/s] they all get what [s]we[/s] they want?

D&D vs. Spirit of the Century. Can the fan favorite take on the granddaddy of all RPG's? Call of Cthulu vs. FATE. Can the favorite generic game take down the Great Old Ones? Setting aside how little sense any of this makes to me, which may or may not be a function of not following college baske...

Almost missed this! Awesome that you guys are doing a campaign of Savage Alera. Thanks for continuing to do things that make me envious!

It went well. Great little pick-up game. One of my favorite moments was when I fell backwards into a basement and broke my leg. I ended up roleplaying my broken-leg a lot more than I do in other games complete with descriptions of Mord's characters having to help me limp around. I think there was s...

Hyphen Eve Gaming?

Hey hey, folks. Anyone want to play/run something on All Hyphen's Eve? I'm planning on coming down sometime that afternoon, so if you guys want to get something going that night, I'm up for it.

Er, assuming Andy's cool with me showing up on his doorstep on Friday.

by devlin1

In all seriousness, if someone really wants to run two games, I would be willing to give up my slot. There's so man cool games to play, I would be just as happy to play both sessions as I would be to run Danger Patrol. Ah, but Danger Patrol is one of those very same cool games you mentioned. Don't ...

dnd3eplayer wrote:Hey, if you guys didn't organize this stuff, that's how we would do them all ;)

incidentally, it is Dread Not (as in dreadnought, cause that's the train involved) and not 'Not Dread'.

I prefer Not Dread (Dread). So, y'know, maybe think about how you can incorporate that.

dnd3eplayer wrote:aw man.. my clever plan to make others decide for me has failed miserably. I can only go forward and learn from my mistake. One d20 rolling now....

So noted, sir! And I commend you on your game-picking method.

by devlin1

Y'know, I'm not sure Cthulhu Dark has much in the way of prep either. So yeah, fuck you guys.

by devlin1

If I can make it, I'd Dogs and Adventure! too. We'll see. Maybe just the first block.

All right, folks -- the results are in!

Potluck? Bring our own food? Or go out for eats? If the last, what're the eating establishments nearby? Potluck, but there are some restaurants nearby too. There's an Italian place we've gone to sometimes for pizza, and a Subway and... I want to say a Rubio's or something? I don't recall. But the p...

So I might be skipping ahead here, but if I can only make the board game day...what time do the board games start? And are they scheduled at all or is it just "bring a pile of board games and let's find one everyone can play"? Cuz I've got a pile that I could bring. :) It's pretty much a ...

The Torrance-types did that last year -- they had a place that was basically right across the 163 (or the 15?) from the Kore office.

That's what Gamex is for. It's the Hyphen-Con overflow.

Hyphen-Con VII: Bring Out Your Vote

Okay! So here's our list of 18 prospective games. A ton of variety here -- arguably a more interesting range of games than you might find at, say, Strategicon. That's right, I said it. You have three votes to spread around, so use them wisely. We can't enforce that three-vote limit, so you're on you...

by devlin1

Well I stand corrected I guess it has been publicly confirmed. At the same time though I never like to talk up upcoming games on the internet too much, at least until I hear that they are at the printers or already published. There have been just too many disappointments and years spent on anticipa...

Maybe he is, he certainly would be a good person to tackle such a project, but I can neither confirm nor deny such a rumor. Well, there's this post from Fred Hicks on the FATE Yahoo!

Well, I didn't have any plans for running it at GenCon this year, but it could definitely be on my plate for the Summer Strategicons. Also if say an official FATE or SotC version of DAR ever gets published I may run it at next year's GenCon, and who knows I may have to run it first at the Hyph. ;) ...

Ack. Any plans to run this at Gamex or GenCon or anything? Because... I want to play this, and I want to make sure I get a chance.

Also I have a quick question about the board game day. Is there any room for running other games on Sunday? I'm not a huge board game fan, but something like Fiasco can be played with something like a board. :mrgreen: Well, it's not enforced or anything. If there are four other people who want to p...
