Only two of the PLOT team could make it to VirtuaCon, so we
decided to celebrate Brian Cooksey’s favorite game. In the tradition of our
Changeling the Lost episode, I wanted to get gamers together to talk about
running and playing. This jam considers two excellent games which share the
same engine. Steve Russell, Phil Vecchione, Brian Cooksey, Kristin Hunt, and I
will talk about the challenges of running, what we've done with campaigns, what
drew us to the settings, and what it's like to play. Ideally we'll also have a
Q&A going. If you’re curious about these games or diceless systems in
general check it out. If you’re a veteran of either and want to join in, we
still have another chair open. Give me a heads up.

“Do you Game with your SO / Partner / Lifemate? Do you wish
someday you could? Submit questions and come watch a fun group of gamers talk
about their highs and lows gaming with their SOs, learn some tips and tricks as
well!” Rich Rogers invited Sherri and I to join in on this. Since she and I
game together for 90% of our campaigns, it seems a fair cop.
24-Hour RPGs: How did you do it?
Sat, Oct 11, 2:00 AM – 3:00 AM Eastern
“Ever wonder what it was like to design an RPG in 24 hours?
Join your hosts as they talk about their experiences with whipping up new games
on the fly.” Yes, you read that time correctly. I’ll nap between sessions.
Jacob Wood of Accessible Games will be moderating this panel. I’ve twice
submitted 24 Hour Games (Witless Minions
and Arclight Revelation Tianmar). I’ve
also struck out twice with attempts, including a submission for this year. I’ll
be curious about everyone else’s methods.

“As GM’s and players, we all accumulate a set of techniques
and tricks we find useful time and time again. Our experienced panel will
discuss their go-to tools for making gaming sessions more enjoyable for the
whole group (GMs included).” Another Rich Roger joint. I have a few concrete
techniques I like to share- easy and fast things, often stolen from other
places.

“Tabletop roleplaying games are set in a variety of genres
and worlds. What are some of the most popular games in each? Where do some
games fall short? Join us for a survey of various RPG genres, a discussion of
high and low points, and a look at upcoming new games.” Another early morning
one. This panel’s led by my friend Steve Sigety (of Kaijuville). It also
includes Derek Stoelting, the new Unisystem Line Developer for Eden Studios. I’m
hoping to use and plug my histories of rpg genres.
