BW at GenCon

[Saint&Sinner]

Are there going to be any Burning Wheel games one (or 2 or 3) could play in at GenCon this year?

[luke]

As far as I know, there will be one five-player game.

Can people request a seat or is it an already full game?

[luke]

I think people need to register with Gen Con.

[pseudoidiot]

I was wondering about that, too, because I didn't see it in the events catalog that came out Sunday.

[luke]

I don't think all of the events are out yet.

[pseudoidiot]

Yeah, they said they'll be updating throughout the week as more entries are received.

[brehaut]

Luke, any chance that any of the demos / games that you are involved with will be recorded for putting on youtube? I watched the two The Sword videos from last year and learnt a lot.

[luke]

There are Sword videos on YouTube?

I don't record any of my play sessions. So there's a chance, but a remote one.

I just grabbed the latest event spreadsheet, and the only BW event I can find is a Mouse Guard variant being run by Scott Acker.

Luke, do you have an event code or anything?

[pseudoidiot]

Yeah, just registered, and still no BW listed. :confused:

[Saint&Sinner]

If any official or unofficial games are happening, please give a shout out (please give an ID number if official so we may register). If none, would someone like to organize one? I'd love to eventually get to play this game(having run MG at 2 conventions now and BWR at home for a while).

I'd be up for some off-the-radar BW... especially seeing as I didn't get into your Dunedain MG game! :D

Did it fill up? Sweet! Can't wait to hear about how that goes! :D

[buzz]

It filled up in like 30 seconds.

[Saint&Sinner]

I'm bringing Realm Guard to Games on Demand and probably to the after hours at the Embassy Suites. If you want to coordinate a meetup just let me know.

[Saint&Sinner]

To be honest though I'd really, really like to actually play in a game. :p

I'd be up for some off-the-radar BW... especially seeing as I didn't get into your Dunedain MG game! :Dhaha, same here. I had my game #'s all ready to go and hit submit. Apparently I'd jumped the gun a tad. By the time I re-entered my game ID's and hit submit again, the Dunedain game had already filled up!

I'd be up for some extra-curricular BW, as well, though.

There's the rub. :) The only BW I've played where I was not GM were the two GenCon events with Luke I managed to get into in years past. :)

[Saint&Sinner]

Can't we all run stuff for each other? Each of us brings one scenario and everyone runs something. Then everyone wins. :)

[pseudoidiot]

Haha. I might could be convinced to run some BW. The vast majority of my experience is playing, although I've run demos of The Sword and The Gift with some success.

[buzz]

We gonna do this, or what?

[Saint&Sinner]

I'm there Thursday thru Sunday. I'll have my Dunedain Rangers hack available. When and where should we meet?

[pseudoidiot]

I'm there Thurs-Sun as well.. Staying at the Sheraton, and I think all the events I'm in are either at the Omni or the Hyatt. My biggest open blocks are Thurs/Fri morning and after midnight Thurs/Fri/Sat.

I'm arriving Thursday afternoon and I'm running Friday and Saturday 10AM to 2PM. After midnight. Ouch. I'm not that young any more. Hmmmm... I'm available Thursday evening, Friday and Saturday afternoon and evening and Sunday morning and maybe early afternoon. Is this a good time for anyone?

[buzz]

I'll be there from Wed afternoon/night through Sunday afternoon. I don't have any events past 6pm on any days, so my nights are all free. I probably could not do post-midnight, as I am too damn old for this shit.™

I'm staying with a friend just outside of Indy, so any hotel is good. I've had good luck with the Hyatt in the past.

[MadJay]

Johnny-come-lately here!
I'm there Thurs - Sun as well camping with PseudoIdiot.
My main thangs Wildtalents and a MG/Dunedain game went up in smoke.

I'll Gm/Play - I just wanna get in a game! I missed the Dunedain Hack game and If there's an interest I'll absorb it an run something. I'll post up my openings.

[buzz]

BOOYAH!

RPG0904606 Trouble In Court Burning Wheel 08/13/2009 08:00:00 PM

Totally snagged a ticket.

[EarthenForge]

OMG! Me too! Last ticket!

I get to PLAY the game I always GM - it's like a dream come true! W00T! :D

[pseudoidiot]

I'd been trying to register since it went up yesterday, but thanks to GenCon's shitty registration system not allowing people to cancel events on their own, I couldn't get out of a conflicting event in time. Thanks GenCon! :rolleyes:

[Saint&Sinner]

Crap. When did that show up?

[buzz]

I was checking my account, and on a lark did a search for BW events. I saw it and jumped on it.

[Saint&Sinner]

Dang. Guess that shows me for running BW last night rather than scouring the Gencon wesite. ;)

[Avinar]

Right now, it looks like I'll be going to Gen Con. I'd be willing to run Burning Wheel as long as you don't mind a "Burning in" - it would be my first time running it! I am planning on being there Weds-Sun.

I'll run the Mouse Guard Dunedain Rangers hack for anyone interested also. I would'nt mind playing in the same if someone wanted to run it... :rolleyes:

[AvalonXQ]

Brand new to BW as well, but happy to get in on a game -- either playing or GMing, or both! Excited to try the system!

[Avinar]

It looks like Thursday will be the only open night for me. I'm willing to play or run. Anyone still interested?

[AvalonXQ]

I'm still very interested.

[imprimis5]

I hope I'm not getting in on this too late, but I'd definitely be excited to get in on a BW game at GenCon this year. I've not had an opportunity to play yet, but I'm getting ready to run The Sword for my group. It'd be nice to get some play experience in to make sure I've got things down.

[buzz]

Somebody want to do up an eVite or something?

[Avinar]

I'm still working out the details, but I'm pretty sure it's going to happen. Thursday night I'll run BW for those interested. I'll have a few from my group playing too. If interested, send me a private message with your email address.
