GENCON - Anyone up for a Wednesday night dungeon crawl?

fathead · Post by **fathead** » Wed Jul 25, 2007 7:02 am

Well...I guess I'm a glutton for punishment...but I'm considering another dungeon crawl (this will be a seperate adventure from the one I'm running earlier) for Wednesday night.

I've had a few PMs from different people (and groups) that had expressed an interest. So...I'm posing the question - who would like to play?

I'm running something from 1-5 at the Ram, and then getting a bite to eat (and drink) with a few friends afterwards...so that would probably put us at starting around 8pm.

From what I've read, there is open gaming at the Hilton.

Post here if you'd be interested in an evening dungeon crawl. If you'd be willing to DM as well (depending on the amount of interest...in case we run a couple tables), let me know.

I'm still working on the adventure, but the tentative title is:

The Lair of the Mud Witch

Yep. I'm in the DCC tourney. I would have signed up for XCrawl as well...but the two tournament times conflicted (hint hint...for next year).

Out of curiousity...why do you ask?

Ive run your group before and just curious. I'm really getting an itch for the tourney.

Ha...tell me about it. For the past couple weeks, I've been checking this website several times a day hoping for some tournament info.

That makes me either dedicated or pathetic...I've haven't decided which yet...

...hoping for some tournament info.

Watch the skies, sirrah! Info will be posted quite soon.

N'Haaz-aua · Post by **N'Haaz-aua** » Thu Jul 26, 2007 9:48 am

At least I've read the whole tourney, my itch is to kill people...I mean to give a good presentation.

Info will be posted quite soon.

Meaning August 5th.

Dan,

I am interested in your Wednesday night dungeon crawl. I'm generally drawn more to games that feature OOP rules, but I'm not opposed to playing under 3.5/d20 rules. Its just that I haven't had a real strong reason to migrate from 1E AD&D to the current version of the rules.

As I think I said in my PM before, I don't know at this point what our Gen Con group is going to want to do on Wednesday night. I think they'll want to find a game somewhere, but we really haven't talked too much about it. I need to try to firm up our after hours gaming, as much as that can be done ahead of time.

I'll try to find out this week what their interest level is for playing in your sandbox on Wednesday night.

Well...I'm woefully behind in writing the adventure (by woefully, I mean - I haven't even started it)...but I'm still hoping that I can pull something together before GenCon.

In any case, here is the tentative adventure description:

The Lair of the Mud Witch

High summer is a miserable time to venture into the Gren March swamps.

After days of travel in the March, your skin is now pock-marked with red circles from bites and the stings of marsh flies. Your face is lined with dirt trails from sweating profusely, and your hair has taken a damp, matted look. Your adventuring clothes are wet from your own perspiration and reek of sulfur.

Deep in the muck and mire of the March lies the Mud Witch, a strange oracle who might be as likely to kill you as give you her prophesies. Even still, you have braved the Gren March in search of her telling...

Yep, there are still openings. Also, check your Inbox. I sent you a PM as well.

I'd love to play. Hopefully I'll be done setting up my booth in the vendor hall by 8!

I'd be interested in playing. If you have a spot available, sign me up!

Okay, so far we have:

Will attend:

ynnen, jeremy zimmerman, dave standford, brian cameron, superfan, Jonathan Moyer, mouse

Might attend:

tacojohn and the 1E family, akluding, jfrenia & group, astrocat + 1-3 other players

That gives us one full table, and possibly 2. I'll fit in as many people as possible in the 1st table (I'd be willing to stretch to 8 players...but that is the max). We can form a 2nd table if we have the numbers and someone willing to GM.

Mouse · Post by **Mouse** » Mon Aug 13, 2007 6:22 am

Still hoping to be there, but......

Will probably have to meet with the other tournament GM's that night and go over last minute details (how many PC's should we kill, what is the proper amount of suffering, ETC).

So, still hoping I make it.

Mouse (Erica)

PS this might be one of the few games I'll play, since the tounament will take up such a large amount of time.

Okay, cool. I'll count you as a "will attend". If you're running late (or can't make it), no big deal...

Hmmm...mouse asked if we were gaming at the Hilton or the Hyatt...I'm looking on the GenCon forums, and some people are now saying that open gaming tables are available at the Hyatt.

They might have it at both. I'm looking into it, and will post the location.

superfan · Post by **superfan** » Mon Aug 13, 2007 9:29 am

Perhaps people can post their cellphones to aid in meeting up on Wed?

Mine is 651-472-2129 or alternatively 612-669-2708

The Superfan is super psyched up!!!!!

So much to buy!! So much gaming to do!!!!

fathead · Post by **fathead** » Mon Aug 13, 2007 9:54 am

Alright...Open Gaming is indeed in the Hyatt, in the foyer areas on the 2nd and 3rd floors....so it will be on one of those floors.

I'll put a sign out on the table that says "Lair of the Mud Witch".

My cell, in case anyone needs it: 859-814-7368

Nahat Anoj · Post by **Nahat Anoj** » Tue Aug 14, 2007 6:51 am

Well, keep me on the list for now, but there is a chance I may not be able to make it. My roommates for Gencon have switched hotels and won't be coming in until Thursday. I don't really mind (the new hotel is lots cheaper!), so I will probably end up getting a hotel farther away from the con for Wednesday night.

AstroCat · Post by **AstroCat** » Tue Aug 14, 2007 7:44 am

Myself and a few others (1-3) might be interested. Perhaps making it enough for 2 groups, if anyone wants to DM a second group?

fathead · Post by **fathead** » Tue Aug 14, 2007 11:10 am

Anybody that wants to play, just drop by the Hyatt and look for our table. If we have enough for 2 tables (which looks likely), I'm sure that we can get someone to volunteer to GM. I'll bring a 2nd copy of the adventure.

See everyone tomorrow!
