An RPG event sponsored by the Chicago-area ENWorld.org community

Mark your calendars, folks. We’ve secured July 14th as the date for Gameday 32.

Thanks to our volunteer GMs, all of our attendees, and to the owners and staff of Games Plus. I love it when a plan comes together.

My final count for total attendance, GMs and players included, is 45, though I have a feeling the actual total is maybe 1-2 more. That’s fantastic! One of the larger Gamedays, overall.

I had a blast in the Dragons at Dawn event in the morning! We approached our first encounter with a 3e/4e mindset, and it nearly got us all killed. The shock shifted us into Old School™ mode, which proved far more successful. Hirelings! Caltrops! And my thief-assasin one-shot killed an ogre with a thrown dart! Good times. Line of the session: “We can just act like America.” (I.e., let’s arm some insurgents to create a puppet regime!)

My Marvel event in the afternoon went really well. I’m really glad that I got a chance to play test my event a week earlier. Everyone seemed to have a good time and enjoy the system. Kudos to Spidey for cocooning Carnage, Thing for downing the annoying Purple Man in one hit, and to all the heroes for literally scaring most of their opponents into surrender.

And, of course, photos!

Thanks again, everyone! We’ll do it again in the summer!

Player sign-up for Gameday 31 is now live. If you want to play a game at Gameday 31, post in the following thread on ENWorld:

Gameday 31 player sign-up on ENWorld

In your post, list the events in which you’d like to play. Seats are filled in the order in which posts appear. If an event fills up before you are able to post, you’ll need to pick a different event for that time slot. Notifications about event availability will be posted to this site, Facebook and other social media, as well as in the player sign-up thread itself.

(Look for the #chicagogameday hashtag when using Twitter. Heck, *use* it liberally!)

Good luck!

This is the official announcement about player sign-up for Gameday 31.

* Player sign-up for Gameday 31 will start at 7:30pm on Monday, March 5th. *

At that time, I will create a player sign-up thread on ENWorld and post the URL to the email list, on Facebook, the Gameday website, and various other social media.

To sign up for an event, go to the sign-up thread mentioned above and post the event(s) in which you’d like to participate. Sign-ups are processed in the order they are posted in the thread. It’s a good idea to keep an eye on the thread in case the event you originally chose fills up before you are able to post.

Surcoat (Mark, 8 seats, table G)

We still have room for one more event in the morning and two more in the afternoon, so all of you budding GMs are welcome to step up. We’ve got until player sign-up to add events.

See you on Monday, folks!
