All-Analog 2012 Update #4

All-Analog 2012 Update #4

Here it is, only three weeks to go until AAGW kicks off. Very much looking forward to it and having you all a part of it.

Overnighters
So far I’ve got 23 people expressing an interest in coming for at least one day of the event, with 8 of those people asking to stay.  This is great! Still, I know it is a long way off for some of you, and that plans can change.
Here is a list of overnighters (first names only, with apologies)

1. Andrew
 

1. Ashley
 

1. Egor
 

1. Ted
 

1. Kris

If you would like sleeping space and your name is not on the list, or your name is on the list and your plans have changed, please send a message to

allanalogDOT2012(AT)gmailDOTcom

with “(YOUR NAME): I’m (not) staying”

in the subject line as soon as you can. Remember, staying over is ￥2000 per person and includes hot shower and breakfast along with two days of gaming.

As for you regular attendees, it would also be nice to know what your plans are. If you are coming, please send an email to the aforementioned address with

“(YOUR NAME): SATURDAY/SUNDAY/WEEKEND

in the subject line. Attendance is ￥500 per day and includes tea, coffee, and cold shower (Am I kidding? AM I??).

Apologies for all the hoop jumping. This is the first time I’ve done something like this. I hope I can streamline the process in the future.

And now a word or two on vices...

Smokers
There will be a smoking area around back for those who need it. Please dispose of your butts and ashes in the receptacle provided, and follow common courtesy rules.

Drinkers
This probably doesn’t need mentioning, but I just want it to be clear. Moderate consumption of alcohol after 18:00 is acceptable. Getting drunk and passing out mid-game, being belligerent, etc., at any time is not. This isn’t a frat party. Apologies for the Bad Cop attitude, but my roof, my rules.

Back to our update.

Games Schedule
I’ve included an RPG schedule and list of games people have promised to bring. If you want to add one to the list, just tell me and I’ll add it to the next update.
If you want to play in a particular RPG on the schedule, send an email with

(YOUR NAME): (GAME) (TIME)

in the subject line. First come, first served, and some spaces are already gone, so act quick.

What about tabletop Wargaming?
Apologies for not talking about this more, and I hope you TTWGers don’t feel left out. We have open space for Black Powder, 40K, or whatever else your steely hearts desire, so bring your terrain and models and mash it up.

OK, that covers it for this week. More information when I have it.

“Good day and good gaming.”

Scenario Description: Demon Dogs! The vile technowizard Evo Darn has captured you in his bizarre catacombs of terror, host to lost technologies from before the Big Mistake, weird creatures from parallel (and perpendicular!) dimensions, and horrifying cyber-magical creations of Darn’s own twisted mind. Can our plucky band of adventurers escape his clutches and/or put a stop to his ineffable scheme to open a door to a dimension of pure – well, if not terror, exactly, it’s at least a dimension of weird pink fungus creatures that a right-minded person wouldn't open a door to. Lords of Light!

Game: All Flesh Must Be Eaten
GM: Ted Bonnah
