So, WarpCon is this coming weekend and here is the plan for the Indie Games Track
Friday, 6 pm: Best Friends (Gregor Hutton)
Saturday, 10 am: free play, demos or games on demand (Gregor and Matt)
Saturday, 2 pm: Covenant (Matt Machell)
Saturday, 5:30 pm: Lacuna (Adam Kelly)
Sunday, 10 am: free play, demos or games on demand (Gregor and Matt)
Sunday, 2 pm: The Shab al-Hiri Roach (Adam Kelly)
So, we'll be running longer length (full) games of Best Friends, Covenant, Lacuna and the Roach. We'll also be using the (quieter, usually) slots to run shorter punchier games, demos and playtests. If we get a demand for a longer game in this earlier slot then we'll run a game then too. We're also going to use that earlier slot for discussions of games mechanics, why system matters, and how to publish your own games.
I'll be taking a variety of games with me to have there for playing (ranging from Cold City to Fearmonger) and playtesting (from zuzannah to Dragon versus the Gun). Does anyone have any games they'd like to throw my way for playtesting? A Need To Kill?
So, anyway, I hope to get some game on and report back next week on how it went.
I'll bring a few oddments

I'd quite like another pop at A Need to Kill. If Graham has an updated version.

Wish I could have made this one, but I'm very much hoping to get to Warpcon next year. Fly the flag and have a good time.
A Need To Kill

Yes please! If you get a moment.
A Need To Kill
It's updated and better. We played it recently, actually. The Detective has more fun now.
Graham
Rock! Awesome:

Great stuff Graham (I like the black and white dice tracks and want to see them in play).
Anyway, I have fetched the stuff and Cat says she's interested in playing it, so I think we'll get a game of it over the weekend.
I'm also keen on testing zuzannah, so we'll see.
Hey Joe, you might be in the old country this time next year?!
I will chuck Reel Adventures
Submitted by Iain McAllister on Tue, 22/01/2008 - 08:38.
I will chuck Reel Adventures your way Gregor. You can get it off the playtesting site but I will email you the latest one.
Cheers
Iain

I'll also take Fearmonger with me, which I'm reading through but haven't had a chance to play yet. If it's quiet then I might try going through that with Matt.
Yep, Gregor. This year, I

Yep, Gregor. This year, I seem to be going to weddings. Next year, it'll be cons. Oh yes, it'll be cons. Warpcon. Conpulsion. Gaelcon. Maybe even Gencon. And publishing. And selling.
Round table?
Submitted by Matt on Thu, 24/01/2008 - 10:17.
If it's quiet we could always discuss a few projects and bounce ideas back and forth. Lost Gods is almost solid in my mind, but I need to make sure I've got it sorted in the "explain to somebody else" sense.
I'll take:
Covenant, Cold City (demo), Contenders (demo), Inpectres (demo) and Shock(demo)
