This weekend we're hosting the 1000 member party for the Indy Gaming Meetup. 24 hours of gaming from 10am Saturday to 10am Sunday, with swimming & camping & food & boardgames & more!

And then Monday night is the Moonday Murder Hobos going back to Dungeontown.

It's me or it is a new week-end? :)

We finished our adventure in "Lacuna". Everybody loved it and the system. For sure we will play again. This week we will play a two-sessions (Saturday & Sunday) "Mekton" adventure. The memories...
For every idiot who denounces Ayn Rand as "intellectualism" there is an excellent DM who creates a "Bioshock" adventure.

Looking forward to some pathfinder and 13th AGE on Saturday.

Call of Cthulhu on Saturday for me.  (Then Dungeon World or Monster of the Week on Monday - not technically the weekend.)

Skywalker

No gaming this weekend. Instead I will be prepping my two scenarios for a small local Con next weekend:

Goddess of the Dark Tower for Tenra Bansho Zero - The haunted tales of Castle Shirasagi keep people away. But as the land fails, the Castle is visited once more by mortals in their dark tales of horror, tragedy, heroism and romance.

Armageddon's Children for Double Cross - In the dark shadows of our city streets, children with special powers are trained to fight for the safety of people they have never met. They are given no names and are considered monsters. This is a story of children who began to wish for Armageddon.

Doom

Another PF weekend for me. Most likely Slavers Saturday night, and either a Baba Yaga or obscure dungeon crawl, Rappan Athuk, depending on what my players want to do, on Sunday.

A nice education blog.

What are those connectable whiteboard squares called? I remember them from ages ago but never got around to getting them and now can't remember what to search for.

This weekend I get to play in a D&D Next game. And for some strange reason, the group I DM'd for last week are coming back. So two D&D Next games for me. Yay!
Mistwell sent me here. Blame him.

Imperator

No gaming this weekend, as I am spending the weekend partying in Madrid with my old mates :D

I am prepping the next session of my Star Wars campaign, and the Horror at the Orient Express campaign is entering the final part, as we played 2 sessions this week and finished Belgrade. Next session after the holidays, Sofía and then Istambul for the great finale.

After that, my money says I am running RuneQuest, most probably Vikings.
My name is Ramón Nogueras. Running now Vampire: the Masquerade (Giovanni Chronicles IV for just 3 players), and itching to resume my Call of Cthulhu campaign (The Sense of the Sleight-of-Hand Man).

PoppySeed45

Starting a new chronicle in A Song of Ice and Fire. I've only run it as a one-shot and the players loved it, so now we're doing it properly as a full-blown campaign, House creation, character creation, and all. All part of my recent switch to systems very unlike FATE.

I always forget, when we host these big gaming parties, that there are some people you don't want in your home for 24 hours. Or 8 hours. Or 10 minutes. Like the guy with BO that radiates outward in a 10' cloud.

yeah.  Took my kid to watch Wolverine last weekend, got our seats, theater started filling up, and that guy sat right next to me.  No seats to move to, and I was stuck for two hours right next to him.  I hate people like that.  If you're going out where other people are, engage in basic hygiene.
D&D is not an "everyone gets a ribbon" game.  If you\'re stupid, your PC will die.  If you\'re an asshole, your PC will die (probably from the other PCs).  If you\'re unlucky, your PC may die.  Point?  PC\'s die.  Get over it and roll up a new one.

Ewww.

OMG! People are CraCra!

Some lady just tried to drop off her six kids until 10:00am tomorrow morning, unsupervised! She was NOT responsive to "you don't know anyone here, the house is full of booze, and there's a bunch people _I_ don't know that gonna be here all night." And then the kids (age 6-15), who are all already in their swimsuits, start crying!

I'm a pretty liberal parent, but man ...

We've had two sessions in a row now of my Savage RotRL campaign.  School's about to start, so I'll lose my two college bound brothers.  Not sure if the game will go on without them, or if we put it on pause and try something else.

The tac-tiles or similar kickstarter banner I saw on this site inspired me to do some prototyping of my own surface.  We're currently using a piece of plexi suspended a few inches above the table on temporary rails.  I use sticky dots to tack printed-out pieces of map onto it and slide it under the minis.  When they go to another room, I slide out, slap down, slide back in.  Still not a 'product' yet, but the idea has promise.

When it gets further along, I'll share more.

Between Meetup and Facebook we had about 65 people show up. We still have about 10 here, camped in the yard in their various tents. Most people seemed to stay for 12+ hours and only a few stayed <4 hours.

There were monster long, and completely full, games of Twilight Imperium, Titan, Merchant of Venus, and Game of Thrones.

Giant percolator, french toast casserole, and mounds of sausage links are being cooked up now for wake up and the 10am departure of the last guests. During which I shall enjoy cleaning all of the floors and getting the house back. :)

Open house gaming parties are a lot of fun. I encourage everyone to do something stupid like that.
