Right so the convention is in PMT but does the planner adjust for my profiles timezone? is the first session therefore 0400hrs PMT or 0400hrs GMT (which would make sense as that's about 2000hrs PMT)? Aaron

The sessions are listed in PMT, unless I've missed it there isn't an option to set a profile time zone (setting your country in the address field doesn't change any listed times). The 0400hrs for the first game is, I believe, midday GMT and I assume is in there in case anybody east of the US want to start earlier in the day.
Curt - Just so I'm 100% sure on this PMT is UTC -8hrs isn't it?

I believe everything is listed in local (CA, USA) time. Which would make more sense for non-virtual cons.

You have to pick the time zone so PMT (Pasadena Mean Time) = Pacific Time or UTC -8. So yes the first game will be midday GMT(UTC). And I might even be crazy enough to play it...then I'll have a lil' nap just like I will after trying to figure out time zones...zzzzzz..

YAHOO! We are all clear kids!
(I have had too much coffee...again.)
With T minus 58 days and counting we have twenty two fine folks signed up for Jackercon! And approx. 8 games to choose from with lots of slots still available.
I just added two more game slots on Sunday. An 8:00 a.m.-12:00 noon (PMT) and a 12:00-4:00 (PMT).
I'm curious about my planned demo of the virtual table top Fantasy Grounds II and the Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay v3 system. Does that turn most folks off having to wrap their heads around not only using Google +, but also a virtual tabletop and a new ruleset ? Should I possibly just pick one ? I will post a user video of the Fantasy Grounds software soon just to show why I'm excited to use it. But for now here's my promo video (which I might have posted before ?) about the plot of the game itself. WHAT'S YOURS IS MINE!
Enjoy the maggots ;-)

Taking inspiration from DTPints: Strontium Dog (Dogz n Space) More on the World of Johnny Alpha and Strontium Dog: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strontium_Dog Aaron NB: Strontium Dog/Johnny Alpha is one of Simon Pegg's favorite 2000AD characters . . . he voices Johnny Alpha in the Big Finish Audio Books as a labor of love

have game signups started, or why is there no attendees listed on any event yet?
also, added my game:
Marvel Heroic Roleplaying Game - Marvel Zombies Host: Shoe Spider-Man is infected with a virus that turns humans and super-humans alike into flesh-eating monsters. The last few heroes that haven't been turned must try to survive and destroy the zombie heroes and villains or escape this Dimension into another more habitable one!
P.S.: anyone who wants to play can offer up some character choices and I will make datafiles of your preferred character as opposed just to characters I feel would be interesting.

I just posted a Pathfinder game because I have a great idea, might still do L5R... but I have the thought to write a Happy Jacks Fiasco playset and run that... We should expand out to Sunday to fit more slots in. What time are you actually gonna do fiasco...I'd play but it's listed as all day sunday and into monday at noon!

That's a dangerous road to walk down my friend But, FUCK YEAH! These are the aspects of an online game that can really shine. You just summed up Strontium Dog for me in three minutes with MUSIC! And now I want one of them there BLASTERS! With regard to attendees at games Shoe...lots of games being offered but I think folks are waiting to sign up for games. Which I understand I happily signed up for one game and then someone else posted a SHADOWRUN game...shit! I love Shadowrun and haven't got to play it in? what ten years. But, eventually I guess ya just gotta suck it up and sign up...But I Love Shadowrun. I also can forsee some future remorse about deciding to run two games when I'd rather get to play in a bunch. But, These are all GOOD problems!

It will be Noon-3pm Pasadena Time. The slot was set up like that... I think a certain Mr. Pints had a few before he added that slot.

Sir Guido. Is your Doctor ? Game really for 1 to 10 year olds. Apparently I way too old to sign up - cause I'm intrigued by the '?'s' and the magic words "The Doctor". As an aside has the season finale played in the US yet - don't want to rant excitedly on the forum if it involves spoilers cause the last 30secs . . . My-mind-blown-away . . . Aaron
