Well April sounds like as good a time as any to start thinking about July. So, here goes the proposition of having a much more successful Jackercon this time around. We peaked around 30 games in IV and have dwindled back to a half dozen or so for VI.
Taking a nod from our favorite Monster of the Week show the mighty X-Files returns this summer with six episodes. Get thinking about games that feature vast government conspiracies, monster hunts, and of course aliens and smoking men.
I'm going to tentatively schedule the online con for the fourth week in July, which I think is right around the Grand Stubah's birthday. If you have not participated in a Jackercon yet I hope you get in on this one. If you've been away from the fold for the last few, come on back.
I want to believe that this will be the best J-Con yet. (DYSWIDT?)
Jackercon VII "I Want to Believe!": July 17-24.
Cheers,
Curt "D.T. Pints" (Mrs.)

Phew, I was afraid it was going to overlap with GenCon, but you should just miss it.
I want to run a game or two. I've been thinking of Cogs, Cakes and Swordsticks. I also just had an idea for Time and Temp. But anyway, count me in!

A brush with greatness, as it were.

The grid would probably be doable on roll20, could be drawn up before hand and people then add to it as they roll.

I've just put my game up on GoogleChrist. Not sure how the time is going to work out, I can't do the weekend. So thus is Thursday night for me, 10pm BST, which I hope enables at lest some our our US friends to be there, but I admit, even then it's not convenient for most time zones, on a working day.

My production season ends July 1 and doesn't start again until August 14th (and more musicals to build). So I'll be rolling back from 85 hour work weeks back to paltry 40 hours (what will I do with all this free time?).
As I say every jackercon: Maybe this time...

Maybe you could run a conspiracy game about the dramatic arts conspiring to suck the life out of all of us...

I suppose I should get to scheduling and building my game, eh? I'm thinking of running an Agents of SHIELD game using FATE Accelerated. Think there'd be interest?

Probie Tim Probably. I'm thinking about getting together a couple of shadowrun scenarios because it seems to be on everyones to do list.
