Yay for GM Space!
Jun. 27th, 2008 01:03 pmI have recently heard about the acceptance of Jared and Sharone's two-hour humorous partial horde game, GM Space, to run at Intercon I, and I would like to extend my congratulations to both of them. In addition to my being happy for them, it makes me think of all the gaming projects I have that I should get cracking on.
I'd been considering bidding Alice again for Intercon I, but I know they prefer games that have not yet run at the con in previous years, so maybe that's not such a good idea. That fact, I confess, disappointed me a little, as I very much want to run it again. Not necessarily at Intercon, but somewhere. The two runs so far were so deliriously fun for me. I called Jared to get his thoughts on the matter, and he reminded me of a possibility that may be very interesting to explore-- namely, trying to get the game run at WPI. This is interesting because WPI isn't all that far away, making getting there fairly easy, and there isn't really anyone in the gaming community there who's played in it. We actually spoke to Rhiannon and Jansen about Alice briefly that one time they came to BSCF, and they seemed interested both in playing it and in helping getting it to run. So that's a possibility I'm going to investigate more deeply into making happen when the school year starts. Jared and I would be willing to run it either as part of a gaming weekend or as its own event, whichever is most convenient to schedule.
I'd also love to have a new game to try out. That would be biddable at Intercon. So many things in the works, nothing anywhere near ready. I suppose I could bid something and MAKE myself finish it by the deadline. Hmm. Risky, but not impossible. I'm famous for only being able to finish things because I need to have them ready by a certain time.
Hmmm... perhaps this bears some consideration.
