GenCon 2015

AW YEAH! Going to GenCon this year! It's been way too long haha! Plus Lady Z and I want some of that authentic Korean cuisine at Mama's Korean Restaurant, where you get to cook your own food on a charcoal grill right in your table! PURE AWESOME!

GenCon will be July 30 – August 2 this year and here’s what I’ll be tentatively submitting (keeping things sane again this year) ^v^

Thursday 30th
1:00pm    Dungeons & Drag Queens PCs
You are the glamorous members of the Azure Moon Disco Cabaret - Drag Artists on the eve of a huge Pageant, when things suddenly go crazy and you find yourselves thrown into a fantasy world of swords and sorcery! Can you survive the perils, maintain your dignity, and find a way back to the real world in time to win the big show? (QAGS)

6:00pm    Nazi Sasquatch Death Squad! PCs
Nazis in America at the height of WWII? Robbing Fort Knox with a Sasquatch Death Squad? Not if the Bureau of Unordinary Gentlemen have anything to say about it! (QAGS)

Friday 31st
6:00pm    Sanitarium PCs
Dark Gods whisper to the mad, only their fractured minds able to comprehend. It's time to make the world see what you see. Time to make them believe as you do. Time to make them pay for their hubris. (d20 CoC)

Saturday 1st
6:00pm    Escape Facility Seven! PCs
Having been scientific experiments all your life, the time has come to throw off the chains of your captors and make a world for yourselves outside Facility Seven! Will you be a hero to many or the pawn of a powerful few? Brutally grim Superheroes in a dystopian New World Order. (BHB Superheroes)

Sunday 2nd
Open for Generics

Fun!

Is Sanitarium new?

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #2 on:** February 13, 2015, 11:34:23 am »

Yeah, it's a new d20 Call of Cthulhu Adventure, where you play maligned and abused inmates in the Insane Asylum.

You 'win' by successfully summoning an Elder God to prove to the Administrators that you weren't crazy this whole time. XD

I never go to GenCon, it's too far away!... However, I have been a faithful visitor of GaryCon for quite a while now.

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #6 on:** February 13, 2015, 03:03:01 pm »

That's cool. Though one hasn't lived until they've been to the biggest gaming convention in the world at least once haha!

While video games may not be a sport, they sure do host an epic convention.
Sadly I won't be going since I'm to poor/lazy/ect...

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #15 on:** February 16, 2015, 08:14:25 am »

GenCon is mainly RPG, Larp, Miniature, Card, & Board Games (though they do have a decent Electronic Gaming too).

There are few better names.

It's a shame he'll probably just be nicknamed Dan.

Don. It'd be pronounced Don-- unless you're saying it "Dan-tay?"

The only Dante I ever knew socially was called Tay by his family/friends.

Forge · « **Reply #39 on:** July 28, 2015, 09:35:06 pm »

I also tried Percius, Marcus-Aurelious and a few others but I was banned from 'classical names that haven't been used in over 1000years..."

I am really bad at phonetics but it is from the Italian Dante so it is pronounced closer to 'Dauntay' if that makes sense to ppl...

I'm thinking he will likely get a nickname as most boys do here but it is pretty short so we are hoping the full awesomeness gets used. Tay isn't bad though.

We don't have enough people named Hercules or Achilles.
