In the interest of casting a wider net I will post this outside of the Jackercon subforum... I'll keep this short...I've got a boat to drive, baby to give Sith training... Attachment DeletedAttachment DeletedJackercon IX was well...a flop. That happens, just like shit. I realize that it takes a mad man to burn a village (or a village to raise a mad man or something like that) so if someone's gonna keep fanning the flames might as well be me. The first three J-Cons (hip people don't use abbreviations) were a happy success with 25-35 participants and 10-15 games being played. Ever since its been an ever decreasing response. So here we go crew! JACKERCON X "ONCE MORE UNTO THE BREACH" June 24-July 1. Wherein we create games inspired by THE BARD! plus.google.com/u/0/communities/107660731967957866497Go to the G+ community page put up a game...ANY GAME! I cannot guarantee I'll play it or you'll get any players at all. We just never know with this community. I will say that in the various JC's (still not hip) I've managed to play 20+ games ALL different systems...and gamed with 30+ different people all douchebags (which is sooooo 2008). My game is up: plus.google.com/events/cepsbeirq7aepuujhcmhao3enkk?authkey=CLz205eNi_umKgSTAR CROSSED KILLERS. A STAR WARS FORCE AND DESTINY GAME. D.T. PINTS OUT!

@themook It would be a real joy to have you run a GURPS game this con sir!

As it would be a real joy to run one, D.T. Branching out into Roll20 is for sure on my "To-Do" list, but I'm not seeing the time to do it anytime soon. Specifically for JackerCon, there's only two weekends between then and now, and I would want to not only get a new game ready but also playtest it first (since I've never actually run a game online). I'd never make it. I'm looking forward to hearing wonderful tales of great gaming though!

I've said this before and have not truly gotten around to it...but I will make a short "how to" vid for the google hangout part of online gaming. I've found that beyond that for a con game roll20 is really more than you need. maxinstuff (may the dropbears be kind to his creepy Aussie booty) ran a great GURPS Steampunk game for Houndin and I and that other guy...just used google hangout and rolled real dice. Tons of fun!

Ah yup. I've played online with nothing more than a cellphone and hangouts. Though it'll kill your data plan.

Just an update the Jackercon X now has 6 games with 3-4 more being discussed. Sounds like the mighty grand Stu Venable (Grand Stubah) is going to run his Big Blue Monkey's game...with @yesthattim game and maybe something from jazzisblues will make a triple threat HOST offering! And maybe even something from the russian gal Kimi. This could be the biggest one yet (at least in number of games being offered). I have no idea what that record is...just glad to see the participation!

So, I'm going to do two games for Jackercon. Both are play tests of my PbtA game, "Bad Streets." I'll put them on the actual schedule as soon as DT approves my request to join the group, but for now here they are.
Bad Streets 25-June-2016 starting at 09:00 PST Number of Seats 4
Bad Streets 28-June-2016 starting at 18:00 PST Number of Seats 4
Looking forward to playing with everyone.
Cheers,
JiB

Applied for G+ group membership just now. Not sure if any slots will be good for Japan, but here's hoping!
