Thar Be Pickup Games! (spin-off)

What games are you thinking of playing? What games do you want others to run?

Really? Wow! I'll bring my copy of TFT in case we cross paths.

I'll be there with Mountain Witch, 1001 Nights, Nine Worlds, or any of my own games (Although I don't plan to haul a copy of Blood and Bronze in my carry-on unless someone's actively looking for me to run it).

Is there a demo scenario for Barbarians of Lemuria floating around anywhere? I'd play that, for sure.

I won't actually be bringing Don't Rest Your Head, because I don't own the book, but I will bring character sheets and I can run/explain it from memory. I might also bring Dogs in the Vineyard (or maybe Afraid) and Mist-Robed Gate -- but I need like four to six hours notice for the latter, so I can make all the snacks and prepare the tea and such.

Added a slew of threads on the schedule for people who know they want to facilitate pickup games to chime in.

It helps a lot because it gives us an idea what our player-to-facilitator ratio might look like for each slot. So if you know you want to run pickup games, go to those threads and say what slots you're keeping open for it.

I'm totally a minister without portfolio this year: no scheduled events at all. But I also don't want to necessarily run things in every slot; I want to play a few as well.

The pickup GM headcount is really our way of asking "if there aren't enough games to go around, are you willing to run something?"

If there are plenty, some people who offered to facilitate may just play in other games instead, if they'd rather. That'll get sorted out in the scrum. We're just trying to get a sense of how many willing and able folks we have.

Fair enough... I guess what I'm really saying is "I don't want to have to go post 'me too!' in a whole bunch of different threads."

;p

I'll be coming, with:
Gun Thief
Ribbon Drive
Perfect (playtest)
Heart of Ashes (playtest)
Mist-Robed Gate
Ghost/Echo
Have You Seen This Dog?

I might also have playtest versions of other stuff I'm working on:
Otis & Lucy, Hypnotic.

I'll be doing nothing but pick-up games all weekend.
