Jackercon 3 is underway!

Thanks to Savage Daddy for running a great game of Flight of the Living dead. We just finished up a few minutes ago.
Only one PC death, so not sure about where that leaves the game in terms of standings for the Doucheys...?

[D.T. Pints]

So far I'd say that puts you in first. We shall see how the Dungeon Planet goes...and of course New Vegas isn't the safest of places.

Unfortunately I had to cancel my game from earlier today due to a lack of players but the Laundry Files game has just wrapped up and was a blast that ended with all 3 characters being gibbering wrecks as we failed to stop the bad guy from summoning an unmentionable evil.

Sigh, disappointed that I derped on what day it started (I thought tomorrow was the first day), and thus missed out on the D.T. Pints' New Vegas game or Hyvemynd's Monster of the Week game. Damn. Well, I think I am playing in a few games tomorrow, so hopefully that goes well at least.

Is Savage Daddy still looking for more for his Jem game? Maybe you could get in on that...

Remember everyone: The G+ event will list the start time and date of the session, for your own time zone, when you view it. Same goes for your Google Calendar. (G+ events are automatically added to the calendar).

Also, from your calendar, you can add extra notifications for a given event, besides the default 30 minute reminder that pops up on your mobile devices. The extra notifications can be for any period in advance, and via more than one method of notification. (I like to put one 24hrs in advance to remind me something is the next day).

The problem wasn't knowing the time, the problem was I messed up the dates. Thought it ran from Sunday through Saturday, not Saturday through Friday. Don't really know why, when I look at it now, it doesn't make sense. Still, I am super excited for Deathwatch today. Ready to be a 7 ft tall murder machine for Da Empra!

Blowing up Nevada probably beats blowing up the temple district of Dis on a day of festival to celebrate the game's end.

Also, is there a special category for killing a character multiple times? Maybe one for earliest player death? If so, I figure I've got my chances.

[andreasdavour]

Definitely!

[D.T. Pints]

Yeah x3 death is pretty amazing. And Pssst....has to be one of the best "lizardy" character names I've ever heard and I will proudly steal it for some upcoming NPCs.

The glitterscales favorite new tavern "Barrel of Pssst..."

And after running apocalypse world I'd really like to try a campaign soon. Maybe Vision lives on ?

[andreasdavour]

I'm still <foo> World curious. It would be interesting to play Apocalypse World as well.

Just a few minutes ago I went to G+ to say how much I'd love to play a campaign with that group of characters! I'd be up for that, if it can be arranged timewise at all.

Also, there's a hilarious addendum to Vision's bomb decision. After the game I drew another card from the Tarot deck, which I would have done for Vision if time hadn't been so short, and this card came up:



Fish from a cup you just grabbeb? You bet Vision would have monkeyed with the bomb after drawing that card. So the game went just as it should have.

I just finished off my game. After planning the setting, and the NPCs, I now realize I should have done one more thing. I should have tried to set time limits on things, and watched the time!!

We took a break after I felt we had started to get moving, and then we had one and a half of the four hours left. Oops! Maybe I should have kept the pace a bit higher in the earlier parts of the game!

Suddenly I just cut large swaths of the planned stuff from the scenario, so it would not end mid stride.

I'm not satisfied with how I managed that...

Meh. Not how it was supposed to be.

Anyway, the players managed to wipe out a whole plane of existence, killing thousands and thousands of people. Not really a TPK, but lot of dead people.

Many thanks to my players. Some really creative thinking, good playing and good ideas by the lot of you.

So, +andreasdavour, what you do is take those excised bits and make...

A SEQUEL.

I'm often surprised if I get to a half of what I plan for con games. You ran a great game, very much in the spirit of Michael Moorcock (heh...heh...) very weird and dreamlike. Terry Gilliam meets Terry Gilliam. Flying mantis steed for the win!
