I'll keep this short...I've got a boat to drive, baby to give Sith training... Jackercon 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!

It might be a good idea to also post a separate thing here as well for every event, as it helps draw attention to the events and activity breeds activity.
Sadly I'm very tight on times for my plans, but I really hope to have something to announce soon.

Agreed the more each GM pimps his or her game (I sometimes wonder if my ridiculous americanisms leave my global brothers and sisters a bit dazzled with a confusion spell)...
Anyway the more posts the more momentum. Each game could have its own thread and that way the players and GM could begin discussing it and then those left out feel terribly jealous and demand just increases! So let's have your games GMs!

Aight, bitches.
I have committed to run a game at this Jackercon. Details on the game are sketchy, other than it's going to be Fudge-based. I've created the event and posted it to the G+ group.
Anything else I need to do? Did I do it right?

Mint Fudge or white chocolate Fudge?

Vanilla Fudge. No house rules.

Vanilla Fudge. No house rules. I would've loved to try out Fudge, but the game's not compatible with my 'sitting on the other side of the world'-schedule. :-(

So, just put my game up. It's a published scenario this time, as I don't have time to prepare my own. Part of the excellent Edom Files, a supplement of historical adventures that came out of the brilliant Dracula Dossier Kickstarter. This particular operation chosen because of its (slight) relevance to the "Once more into the breach" theme. If you have never played Night's Black Agents, or of you want just a taste of The Dracula Dossier, this one's for you. plus.google.com/app/basic/events/c62eg84pqjb8qp4tmgp9fosf2js?authkey=CPiOqaXm4dfG3wE

Vanilla Fudge. No house rules. What? the band? Can we play Strawberry Alarmclock as well? Aaron PS: if you get those references you are either officially old or a true audiophile.

if you get those references you are either officially old or a true audiophile. Definitely the former, heh. I've decided on what I'm going to run, and have updated the event accordingly.

I'm at UTC+8. Dunno if I'll be able to play, but I'd sure love to.

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 it is official, I will be running Masterpiece 77 - "The Play is Still The Thing" for Jackercon. This is the one-shot adventure that cadave and Kimi played in at Strategicon. If I have enough people interested, I may run it 2x (both Saturday *and* Sunday).
