_10:09 pm_[hub_] Holiday game? I'm sure that during these holiday you are missing players or GM/DM for your usual game.I would like to run a Sci-Fi campaign. Not necessarily long but benefiting from the availability to get "new" players.The setting would be intergalactic empire in the neighborhood of Star Wars, Star Trek, Foundation, etc for the technology level. I would use the Star Wars WEG 2nd edition (D6)I'm in Hull (yes I do play in English) and am actually pretty mobile if you prefer this happening somewhere more convenient. My schedule is pretty flexible for the holidays.Any volunteer?I'm also open to other suggestion (including being a player in any other settings). (Comment on this)

_4:51 pm_[jkahane] What Should I Run at CanGames 2009? Poll Seeing as how CanGames, 2009 is coming up in about six months, I've just put up a poll on my blog for people to help me decide what to run this year at the convention. However, I'm only giving folks two choices for this one (based on reasons explained in the post). If you live in Ottawa or are planning to come up to CanGames, please vote in the poll. Even if you're not, please vote in the poll. :)What to Run, What to Run (CanGames 2009)Thanks, all. :) Current Mood: curious (Comment on this)

_6:44 pm_[dagfari] Getting Started Hi. I just moved to Ottawa, and I'm looking to either get a gaming group started or join one already moving along. I like more creative and role-play oriented rpgs. I used to DM for a smallish group of people back in Winnipeg, and all of us really enjoyed it.When I DMed, I broke out my own rules that my players all agreed to beforehand, and things went smoothly. Things like more violent combat - where players suffered bleeding and ongoing damage from even standard weapons, and an expanded critical chart to include specific body parts instead of just double or triple damage.In any case, the gameworld I created is a sort of early-renaissance place. The ubiquitousness of Everburning Braziers and Torches make steam power come around sooner rather than later, and most towns have electric streetlights.Of course, the invention only came about less than one hundred years ago in the gameworld's past, and therefore many dungeons may not have electricity. There are some that do, and that makes stealth less of an option.Is anyone looking to create a new group? (12 Comments |Comment on this)

The day of meeting is this Sunday which is convient for both of us, a time is not established yet, but probably in the afternoon around 2-3.So if you're interested, leave a comment and let me know.

_9:33 am_[clockworkboho] Hellooooo Nerdtown! Heh, NerdTown.I jest, cause I love. I have this little setting that i've been developing since oh... the dawn of time.And I want to start up a game in it.I've got a wee bit of a website for it, very dry:http://members.rogers.com/chesterb/steampunk/main.htmlIts what ya call steampunk, and I still haven't decided on the system, though i'm leaning towards a very stripped down version of GURPS, just for its flexibility and relative simplicity.Spread the word around, i'd like to get some fresh blood into my gaming group, and I'd like to get started very soon.This isn't just roleplaying, its developing the setting as well, so creative people required! :)Hope to hear from you folks soon!
