Yo You should update the list a bit more. there are a few games that haven't been listed yet. Which ones am I missing ? I know you mentioned a marvel game ? Its a bit messy trying to find all the particular threads . If I've not put anyone elses game up please let me know. Thanks, Curt. Okay druggeddwarf your marvel game is listed on the big board. Sorry to have let it slip through the cracks. Here we are gamers with just 4 days and change to go...still lots of opportunities to hop in on a game. If things are still a bit sluggish on the player side maybe we should attempt to 'consolidate' some of the game groups. Example: @hyvemynde Monster of the Week game is still open for five players...I'd really enjoy getting a chance to be players in a game with you sir! so possibly you could help fill up Forresst's Traveller game ? Just a suggestion: If you are running a game...perhaps find the time to also play in a game as well. Most GMs have done this but the Jacker cadre is so bloated with GMs sometimes there just are not enough players to go around. Any concerns or questions out there ? Thought it might be nice to have a ROUND TABLE at some point during the weekend to get this group of assuredly opinionated individuals online to 'discuss it' (and by discuss it I mean speak in a relatively mature/respectful fashion...after all my Paranoia game is full.) Definitely getting excited, so much gaming in such a short weekend! Cheers, Curt.

That is a good point. I was just so worried trying to find a way to run a Gumshoe game I didn't really think about playing in something myself. I'll sign up for games in a bit.

With just two days to go its sad to see several games not being attended...or not having many players. If you are on the fence regarding joining Jackercon for technical reasons please message me and perhaps we can test your connection and figure out any issues. If you are on the fence regarding the concern "is online roleplaying an activity mainly pursued by degenerate, basement dwelling troglodytes?" Then relax...IT IS. . I was definitely hoping to see the numbers of folks taking part in Jackercon Part Deux be far above the first one...but it looks like we might fall a few short... Also surprised to see SLOT 11, what I would consider the PRIME TIME west coast gaming slot have Forresst's game not filled yet and Hyvemynde Monster of the Week and Savage Daddy's Dungeon Delvers ghost towns (the fact that a 'hippy game' and a Savage Worlds game are hoping to be run concurrently delights my dark soul)...perhaps my notion of an impending online gaming renaissance is a bit hyperbolic ? . So for now it looks like its just us loyal few, us band of brothers and sisters that get to roll virtual dice and talk in silly voices. TWO DAYS!! Cheers, Curt. P.S. GMs! I recommend you try to establish contact (messaging and such) with your respective players before the game to make sure they are attending. LUG con left me rather frustrated with the large number of games that didn't happen because of player (and sometimes GM) flakeitude...

Anybody else finding it difficult to work with the current time slots? For me there either too early or too late. I'm considering running Dungeon World that doesn't match any of the current time slots. I would love to attend Hyvemind's game but I'm on the east coast.

Definitely a work in progress malifer. If you want to run a game at any time just let me know. Those times slots were definitely fairly arbitrary . Same goes for the rest of you delightful weirdoes...if there's a time you'd like to run/play a game just let me know. Cheers, Curt.

But for me it's either "roll vs Wife Aggro" or "roll vs stay awake".

]Anybody else finding it difficult to work with the current time slots? For me there either too early or too late. That is how I felt, but I figured it was mainly because of my Eastern time zone location. I cancelled hosting my game because the only non-prime(and full) slots already had like 2 Savage Worlds games taking up the slot each. It was literally "ok, checked everyone's plans here, and I can do it here.. oh crap, SW game already. Well if I push the time I could play the game here... oh crap, SW game already". It looks like there's a lot of GM'ing that wants to go on, but just not enough players attracted to support that. So I made the decision to give up my GM time and join a game. Even then I'm looking at staying up WAY late to do that.

Even then I'm looking at staying up WAY late to do that. Yep, definitely open to suggestions! I wouldn't worry about running a game in a slot already taken up even with the same system. EVERYBODY will run that shit different. That's my goal for doing this Con in the first place is just getting to enjoy playing/running in games with different people and different gaming styles. (But with Jackers as the overall pool...the great trainwreck that OPEN online gaming has been for me outside of gaming with Jackers encourages me to be insular...) See you in the chats tonight!

I say next time around I'll definitely trying to figure out a good time slot for the East Coast.
