It's going to be a couple of months, but I am planning to run a full
season of PTA when I get to town.

PTyay!

I would be interested in seeing someone new take the Director's chair
for Primetime Adventures. Maybe Pandy's will have a copy in stock
soon...

Holy cow!  I've always had a bit of a soft spot for the Roanoke mystery... I'll
definitely have to check this one out (and probably pick up a copy myself), but
unfortunately can't make it this evening (unless something changes.)  Have fun
with it, though.

Cookies and cake!

Ok kids. What should I be excited for tonite? Whatch'all thinking
about running or bringing?

-N

Two cool things going on tonight:

(1) TOMES OF TERROR! Classic radio dramas staged and performed live,
Foley FX and everything. Three different short shows, including "The
Monkey's Paw"!

http://upcoming.org/event/114035/
http://pmrp.org

Joev, Ericka and I checked this out last night, and it was a lot of
fun. They were also vending chocolate "monkey's paws" outside, which
was creepy...

(2) Cruel 2 B Kind (http://cruelgame.com/), a pervasive game.

From avantgame.blogspot.com:

"MIT is organizing a local game of Cruel 2 B Kind tomorrow (Halloween)
that looks to be great fun. If you don't have killer Halloween plans
yet, I strongly recommend that you scare folks with your bad-ass
benevolence! There are already 26 teams registered, so it should be
wicked fun.

Cruel 2 B Kind Halloween
October 31, 2006 - Sign-in starts at 6:00 PM , Game starts at 6:30 PM
, Game ends at 8:00 PM
Cambridge, MA (Brattle Square to Plympton Street (E-W), Mass Ave to
Mt. Auburn. Costumes recommended if you know other players! Or if you
dare, go undisguised...)"

Hey, quick question, since I think it's actually seeming likely that I'll
finally be able to make it this week - I know you all have been starting up at
7PM, but what time do things usually wrap up & folks head for home?

Looking forward to finally meeting folks and getting a chance to game with you!

- D.J.

So, games this week:

Ericka, are you still cool with bringing (and introducing people to)
Betrayal at House on the Hill?

Nathan, would you like to run "Don't Rest Your Head" (urban insomniac
fantasy) this week?

And anyone else (particularly those of you who haven't run a game
here), want to give something a try?



(Also, one note about next week: Delia Sherman and Ellen Kushner are
having an event upstairs from 6-7, so things may be a bit crowded up
there. They're also two wonderful local authors, so if you're
interested, you should go check them out!)

Does this count as irony?

Hey all,

Sadly I have to miss out this week, but I'll be back next week for
spooky story games. Also, on a completely unrelated note, I just
wanted to give you guys a heads up that the infamous other SG will be
performing their travelling show (http://suicidegirls.com/live/, link
not work safe) tonight at our very own Middle East. I don't know what
time its getting started, but if you see a lot of craziness in Central
Square tonight, that's why.

Hasta luego,


Eben

There's a good chance of us playing Primetime Adventures tonight,
since we had such a good time with that last week. Does anyone else
have stuff you're thinking of running?

Also, does anyone own this game "Dread"? It's a horror game that
uses... Jenga blocks.

http://www.tiltingatwindmills.net/dread/index.html

If someone had a copy, that could be a cool choice for next week.

See you all tonight!

   -d

Ahoy Story Gamers,

Just writing to ask if we are "on" for tonight and, if so, who's
running what?

Curiously yours,

Robert.

Okay, but please don't finish all your playtesting in one night.  I
wanna have a crack at it and I don't think I can make SGB this week.

I have a copy and can bring it in future weeks if that's useful.

Other GM-less story-games I could bring include Soap and Pantheon.

Cheers,

Robert.

>  Or we could play "Once Upon a Time."

Do you own "Once Upon a Time"? I have an order pending from Pandy's,
but if you already got it, it would be really great if you would bring
it in.

   -d

Hey all,

I could bring "Dungeoneer"- a cool dungeon crawling cardgame.  That's
a lot of fun.  Or we could play "Once Upon a Time."

-Teddy

Does anyone have some stuff they'd like to run for this upcoming
Wednesday? Post yer ideas to the list, even if you're a little unsure.

    -d

Unfortunately, an emergency meeting of my condo association board has been
called for
tonight, so I'll be unable ot come. I'll try again next week...

Have fun!

-John

Yo,

On November 11th the 2nd JiffyCon will be held in Greenfield, Mass.
Check out the schedule at http://fairgame-rpgs.com/schedule.html.
It's a one-day mini-convention thats all play, all the time. I'll be
driving out, and am totally willing to offer spots in the vehicle if
anyone wants to carpool (Jon, I know you're coming - you're scheduled
to run a game!). I know it's still a ways away, but I figured I'd
send something out to get y'all thinking about it.

I'll send out some more reminders as we get closer to the event.

See y'all tomorrow night!

-N

It was nice meeting some of you in person for the first time on Wednesday! I
hope to be
able to come to the Story Games session this coming week, and hopefully be able
to stay
for the whole thing and not be dragged away by prior commitments! ;)

One thing I did not get to mention on Wednesday-- I have written a no-prep
storytelling
role playing game called Caper, in which the players take turns telling the
planning,
execution, and getaway of a heist or con job in the tradition of Hollywood caper
flick.

You can learn more about Caper here: http://www.lulu.com/21system

I'm hoping to add Caper into the mix of pick-up games on the Story Games Boston
roster.

But I'm also interested in offering a more regular Caper event I'm calling The
Crosstime
Capers of the Horatio Club Mountebanks. Starting with a session tentaively
scheduled for
Wednesday October 25th, I'm hoping to organize Horatio Club sessions for the
last
Wednesday of every other month at Pandemonium.

If you are intereted in learning more or taking part, please join the yahoo
group for the
Horatio Club: http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/horatioclub/join

Thanks, and looking forward to the next Story Games meeting!
