I'm slightly surprised.

Graham

Oh, no, I'll throw my hat into the ring too! I'm happy to run (for one final time) my 28 Nights Later scenario for Dead of Night. As for when ... morning I think!

I'd love to run something but still a bit unsure as to what. I'd say Polaris if you want to pick something non-CE. If you want something CE, then Contenders is about the only game I feel up to running. (Yes, I need to go shopping.)

I'm also happy to help out demoing shorter games.

Go on, Adam, do Contenders. Help The Cause.

Graham

Sure, I can do Contenders. :)

Good choice Adam. ;)

Thanks!

Prince of Darkness Games
Rock N' Role-Play....

OK, do we have a schedule for this? We need to work out who is on the booth in the morning and who is on in the afternoon.

I propose that we have a meet up at the booth well before the doors open. There we have a get together about attitude on the booth, what all the games for sale are, so we're all clear on our responsibilities, and our aims for the day.

The doors open to the public at 10 am and I want us to be ready for then, probably with some demos in progress on our demo tables so we can learn some games and look like a booth that ecourages play.

So, Graham, who's on in the morning, and when is your seminar?

This is what I requested:

Joe Prince, Piledrivers and Powerbombs, morning
Gregor: Spione, either a morning or afternoon slot
Iain: Mob Justice, either a morning or afternoon slot
Andrew: Dead of Night, morning
Adam Kelly: Contenders, either morning or afternoon

The timetable of games should be posted soon (they said it'd be earlier this week, but it didn't happen) so, when that comes out, we'll know.

I'm running a LARP in the afternoon, so if there is a seminar, it'll be in the morning.

Graham

Thanks Graham, that's great. I've had the same contact as you, so I'll watch the website.

I have a few admin things to tie up this week:
(i) Payment for the booth. Chase up the remaining people.
(ii) Arrange for payment for the Flyer. Neil did you get my e-mail?
(iii) Make sure I have demo materials for my games printed out. (Iain: are you bringing a|state and Cold City demo stuff as well as Mob Justice?)
(iv) A money box, someone?
(v) A float of change for the booth. Usually £20 in a mixture of change (£5, £2, £1 coins) is good enough.
(vi) Stickers. I have Jon Hodgson's stickers and can pass a sheet on for £1 a pop.
(vii) Stock and other materials (in my case books and pin badges).

Right, sounds good.

I will have the cold city and Mob Justice demo packs with me but I have never seen an a|state one. Malc can you provide something?

I am working night shifts all week so can pick up a money box if need be.

Cheers

I did get the email Gregor - my wife is Mrs Paypal so it will go via her and she has been away from home recently. I'll sort it out tonight.

Neil

Hi Iain, if Malcolm doesn't send one along to you then I can do it when I get home. It is a tried and tested demo that has served pretty well over the years, and is quite fun to both play and run. Oh, I will have the print out a forthcoming book with me that you can show to CGS fans... (just got it from Paul and it looks Amazing & Awesome!)

Great, Neil, no problem.

I'm sure someone already has a money box, or a plastic tub.

lI did get the email Gregor - my wife is Mrs Paypal

That's fascinating. Is your second name Paypal or did she keep her maiden name?

I bet it causes confusion at the bank.

Graham

Hi guys,

I emailed Angus last night to get the MJ game moved to the afternoon and it seems he may not have received the information Graham sent him.

I have emailed the GM's involved apart from Adam whose email I don't have. Can you send angus (angus@cubicle7.co.uk) a short synopsis of your scenario along these lines:

Scenario Title: Brothers in Arms

System: Mob Justice

Time: 2pm - 5pm

GM: Iain McAllister

Players: 3-4

Scenario Write-up: Your father lies dead in an alleyway. Police sirens are drawing nearer, too soon to be anything other than a frame up. What you going to do?

please note I put in my own end time that might change depending on what Angus wants.

If all GMs involved can get this down ASAP that would be appreciated.

Cheers

'The Giant Brain':Small games, big ideas.

Scenario Title: 28 Nights Later
Game: Dead of Night

Time: morning (whatever the morning slot is! 11am-2pm?)

GM: Andrew Kenrick

Players: 4-6

Scenario Write Up: A virus that turns its victims into bloodthirsty monsters ravages London. 28 nights later you emerge from a bunker deep beneath Whitehall. Can you evade the monsters and escape the city, or will you succumb to the infection? A Dead of Night game for 4-6 people, inspired by 28 Days Later and Day of the Dead.

Game: Spione
Time: Afternoon
GM: Gregor Hutton
Players: Up to 4

Blurb: "Pushing up the collar of his jacket, Leamas stepped outside into the icy October wind. He remembered the crowd then. It was something you forgot inside the hut, this group of puzzled faces. The people changed but the expressions remained the same."
- The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, John Le Carré

Spione is about spies in Berlin during the Cold War. It's a new way to author and enjoy spy-fiction, for which no specific knowledge of Berlin, spying or the Cold War is needed. Just bring your imagination.

...is now online.

We are in the same place as last year (right-hand side as you enter the Great Hall, just next to Pelgrane and not as far along as Leisure Games).

If you find out which table your games are on then the map should let you find them.

I think our demo tables are the ones in front of us, probably L4 as Pelgrane will probably be on L5.

Do we know when the morning and afternoon slots start and end?

...the two slots are... 10:00 - 14:00 and 14:00 - 18:00

I will be running my Spione game from 14:00 - 17:00, and the morning slots will actually kick off at 10:30 or so (since the hall only opens at 10 am!).

The trade hall shuts down at 17:30, so I recommend that our afternoon games are wound up at 17:00 to allow people to buy the games if interested.

I also think it would be wise to finish morning games at 1 pm.

From a quick glance at the Dragonmeet schedule, posted at 2.30am this morning, I think you guys are on it.

Graham

I'm not on it. Don't make a fuss about it: I'm relieved. Too much else going on and it means I can play in the morning.

Graham

I think I picked the wrong slot to run in - all the tasty seminars are in the morning!
