Minnehaha Creek Flood Stage |
We're inundated with convention gaming ideas at the moment. Con of the North 2014, the largest gaming con in the Upper Midwest, is scheduled for February 14-16, at its new location: Crown Plaza Minneapolis West. I usually run 3 or so games there as part of the House of Indie Games theme room. This year things are a bit more complicated with the new space, theme tracks are on but room arrangements is a more complicated picture. There will also be a Tekumel theme track.
I will almost certainly be running a FATE Core based Tekumel game, probably set in the city of Katalal. I am also thinking about running 1-2 more games.
Candidates include:
- An Everway 6-hour marathon session
- +trey causey 's pulp-inspired Weird Adventures setting, using FATE Accelerated Edition (FAE) as the game engine
- An adventure set in my Xeno-Meso setting as featured on The Everwayan, using FAE (or Everway, or Swords & Wizardry)
- A medieval African adventure using +Kevin Crawford's Spears of the Dawn RPG
- Tenra Bansho Zero
- 13th Age, which shares a design lineage with Everway. Maybe even an Everway-13th Age 6-hour marathon crossover game.
Event descriptions need to be postmarked by September 3, 2013, so I have about a month to get this all figured out.
EDIT: I am surprised I forgot to list a Ubiquity system game: either All for One: Regime Diabolique, Hollow Earth Expedition, or Leagues of Adventure. We need to consider those games too.

Well, of course I'm bias...
ReplyDeleteYes you are! But I am leaning toward Weird Adventures as one of the games. NYC was where I always intended to live when I left Western NY, so I have a lasting love of The City.
DeleteWe're seriously considering running a Wermspittle scenario at CotN 2014. Our schedule might allow for it once again. If we do get to go, we'd both be interested in Weird Adventures and/or the Xeno-Meso games...but nothing is definite on our end just yet...there's a lot of stuff to get settled over the next few weeks...
ReplyDeleteWermspittle... it would be great fun to finally play in a game set there.
DeleteWe had a lot of fun running Xembor at previous years, so it would (hopefully) be fun to go back again. We are also considering running a one-shot game or small series of scenarios at one of the local game-shops, possibly. It's all dependent on how we get the schedule worked out, now that I'm getting healthy again.
DeleteTo chime in and vote I think you should run Tenra Bansho Zero that game is awesomely bonkers.
ReplyDeleteHi Jason: I will run Tenra! I also plan to run the FATE Weird Adventures and a FATE Doctor Who game, both of the latter using FAE.
