Is there any ETA on a schedule for Missions events running at Origins 2012?
-
Waiting on Approval, I'll post when things are final.
We have a few more Missions running than last year. We'll also be running a handful of games of CGL's Retro-50's-Sci-Fi game Cosmic Patrol. And the Shadowrun Scramble will be from Noon to 8 M on Saturday this year, giving us more time to utilize the Exhibit hall as part of the event.

Okay, thanks.
And ack, now I have to decide between the Scramble and the Arcanis Battle Interactive.

Sorry :(
We're switching to Saturdays for both conventions from now on. Satruday is the day with the best attendance, so it's the best day for the fans overall, and for us it gives us more time to prep and plan onsite. Last year, with the scavenger hunt, we were scrambling (no pun intended) to get things set up and talk to folks like Echo and the geek Chic booth to give players places to go do things. And moving it earlier instead of 4 to midnight allows us more time when things like the art hall and exhibit hall are open.

Event grids are up!
And, ARGH, why can't Origins standardize their gaming slots? Events from different game groups all starting and ending at odd times, all overlapping unevenly. Meaning that if I want to play, say, Shadowrun, I have to NOT play two slots of another game, or play one of the other game and not play two Shadowrun slots.
:(

It's because other game companies are lazy, and don't want to run wall to wall events. <grin> Our slots are set up the way they are so that we can have non-stop Shadowrun from 8 AM till Midnight. :)

Yeah, hah, as a player, I can say I USED to be like that, wall to wall gaming from 8 am to 4 am every day of a con, and crashing after I get home to sleep for 14 hours straight.
Of course, I was quite a bit younger then. These days I kinda appreciate a slightly more relaxed schedule, and refuse to play midnight slots. Of course, these days I also have to choke down a handful of pills every morning just to stay healthy. So much for aging gracefully.
Ah well, I'll adjust. Thanks for running all this stuff!

The key words you need to use with some of the GMs are: trash bags, Alero, and scrubs.
This is a friendly tip for those of you attending.

The secret number is 3.

The scrubs are dark blue.....
-
One free use of edge at my table for any player who can construct the entire story (convention GMs don't count)...
-
Oh god Felicia Day, playing Shadowrun Missions...

Yep.
...
Damnit. Had to choose to go to GenCon instead of Origins. :'( Oh well, at least I can make a Con this year.

Neat. How'd the Scramble go?

Went good, i got ganged up on and murdered, i mostly deserved it.

Speaking as one of the runners who took part in the scramble I greatly enjoyed it as it offered something different than just sitting around a table, and a chance to find myself in competition with characters controlled/designed by other human beings rather than just blocks of stats at the GM's command.
That said there are several aspects of it that I feel could be improved upon, though I'm not sure if the five or so worth of pages of material I wrote on the subject would best be posted here, someplace else, or just kept to myself....

Always amused to hear how the Scramble goes at Origins, now that there's one there in addition to the Gencon one (which is the thing at Gencon that I look forward to the most). The more info, the better would be my suggestion.

I'll try to get around to writing an unbiased account of what went down before the week is through.Before that though I plan to post my thoughts on the various other convention missions I went through here /on this form if not necessarily this thread obviously enough.

James if you care to forward your thoughts to lurkeroutthere [at] yahoo i'll make sure their included in the internal discussion already started.
-
Thanks for sending up the thoughts James! Glad you had some fun at it!
Next year we need to get the advertising going so we can get Origins Scramble as big as GenCon's has been

(This is Abraham, for those of you who met me at Origins)
I had a great time running and playing in missions at Origins. I have some feedback on some of the missions I ran - where should I send it? Should I post it here, or pm/email Bull, or what?
-
Relax guys. I'm old and beat up. It takes me a couple days to recover from cons. I usually spend Monday largely in a coma and relaxing and catching up on a weeks worth of downloads, emails, and chatting with friends. I'll be sending all the GMs an email later tonight. :)

As soemone who's never been to Irigins and only had a single, poorly-fated, trip to a GenCon, what, pray tell, is a Shadowrun Scramble?

It's about four hours o' Shadowrun LARP, and about four hours o' Shadowrun tabletop (with the same characters). It's a good time!
