Hey.
So jackercon version 1 was an awesome thing that happened, with awesome guys and awesome games. But one of the few things it missed was more games on GMT mornings and afternoons (no offense whodo).So I figured that making a post here about games people wanted to play at that time would be cool.
I myself am planning to run something, but I am orb to suggestions and ideas based on what people would want. So if you went to run, or play, post in here so I have some idea of what to do.

You mean like a Justice League Europe vis a vis Justice League America? Aaron

But that means I'll have to get up at insane hours to play games with people from places where they don't have to fake an accent...like New Jersey.

The suffering is an essential prerequisite for FATAL - I believe Saque P will be volunteering to run a game??? Aaron

No offence taken, I agree that it could have done with more games during the day for those of us in Europe.
Annoyingly I'm going to be away in the US during the next con or else I'd happily volunteer to run something.

Well for the UK the Pasadena Mean Time 12pm to 4pm games were a comfortable 8pm to 12am. I really wanted to play in the Shadowrun game but breathed a sigh of relief when it had to be cancelled as it was 12am to 4am UK time . . . Aaron

Hmm.. that is a good point. Alright. So judging by the checking of time It seems like 12PM PMT is actually 8PM GMT at the moment (not barring any Daylight savings time). So I will probably aim to run one game for the saturday slot. Taking a look at what times would be suited, I would say: 8AM PMT / 4PM GMT time slot 2AM PMT / 10AM GMT time slot 12PM PMT / 8PM GMT time slot
If anyone has a preference for any game I list below and want me to aim for any of them let me know. The list will change with time and interest.
So far on my list: Edge of the Empire: New star wars game coming out. Plot isn't fully fleshed out yet, I'm still working on the basis, but the rulesystem is pretty simple, and Pre-gens are readily available for all and sundry. Possbily about 5 players in this one, but less is good.
Fate Core: Archer, Agents of I.R.I.S Ever seen the Archer TV show? Yeah. We're making that stuff happen. No doubt. Pre-Gens will be the Archer crew will be available (hell, maybe even woodhouse). I will try to get the humour level right, but no gurantees as I am working on a time frame here. Players - hell I will go as far as 6 for this one if I have to. It's fate core. I got this.
Fate Accelerated - Dresden files based This is probably going to be the easiest to run, as I will basically be giving templates to people to play with, but not actually bothering with putting their stats up. I am secretly hoping the Accelerated expansion would be out by the time I start this, but if not I'll make something up. Templates will consist of a character concept, their high concept already picked, and two stunts already selected so all they have to do is pick a third one and fill out the rest of the sheet. No biggie. It will probably be as simple as hell, but hey, its 4 hours. Gotta keep it neat.
Savage worlds - Red Dawn Whilst on holday at a fabulous resort, Russia attacks. 80s Tastic. Bring your friends. (this one will need a crap ton of playtesting so I don't kill you all in the first encounter so let me know ahead of time if there is any interest. Savage worlds isn't my expertise but it should work).
Deadlands Noir (Savage Worlds) - Devil in a blue dres Everyone loves a good noir game, and if deadlands is going to make it bloody simple for me to run it, I'm going to bloody do it. Expect to play femme fatales, competent private dics, former mobsters, geniuses before their time, and at least one blues saxaphone player.
Lady Blackbird This requires the least amount of work from me. It will be 4 hours straight up, and if you have never played it before, I very highly suggest you come down and do it with me. I may run this on the sunday regardless of how many games I have set up. It's an awesome system.
I will update this more and more as I go on.

I ran a game that was 8am PMT, 12 noon GMT (I think, but I managed to fuck up the times in G+ so I'm very confused) last JackerCon. Only one European (guitarspider) joined the crew. The rest were US based I think.

If that was the Firefly game (I played Jayne in it) then I'm European as well (UK based).

There has to be a bit of latitude on both sides to get it to work - ie: early or late sessions for either party. In an *ideal* universe GM's would run 2 different sessions/groups of the same game eg: one suited to their timeline and one better suited to the other side of the big wet. Aaron
