As Elaine made a pointed comment, let's all start sounding off what games we are planning to run at Furnace 2009!

I'm really tempted to run a small game of Babylon 5, using Mongoose's Traveller. Smile

I'll probably run *something* with Reign, but I'm not yet sure what.

And I'm thinking of a second game. Set in mythological ancient Greece. Not yet sure what system, but I have some idea of a suitable scenario.

[Yes- I could run my ancient Greek game with Reign, thus killing two birds with one stone, but I'm not sure yet if that's what I want to do.]

I must confess I was thinking of running Savage Worlds, but let's see 6 months GMing Savage, and many yearsGMing(or Keeping if you're old skool ) Call of Cthulhu. Which one do I know the rules inside out for...bit of a no brainer really. The last thing I want to do is get into a combat wherein somebody tries multiple tricks in the midst of firing an automnatic weapon at somebody in cover. I think my brain will just fry on the spot. So back to CoC then..

I started researching/writing this a couple of weeks ago:

Napalm Jones – Can’t Get Enough Of Those Delta Green Blues
System : Call of Cthulhu ( Modern )

The UK has been overrun with the Rage Virus. Gradually though, a repopulation has begun, with armoured satellite towns set up across the country. One such refuge is Middleriver, which is currently undergoing reconstruction after a series of disastrous events a month ago.*

Middleriver Torchwood Leader, Sapphire ‘Napalm’ Jones is contacted by ‘Agent Kronos’ of the elusive organisation Delta Green UK. In short : there’s a problem at a facility in the Pennines, described as ‘rift related, information leakage’. DG(UK) urgently require Torchwood’s assistance.

Eager to establish contact with DG(UK), Sapphire is granted permission to proceed with the operation. The services of U.N.I.T. will provide an escort into the Rage-infect countryside, under the command of Torchwood’s old friend, U.N.I.T. Captain Lucy Hawkins.

Main Themes : Investigation/Combat
For up to 7 players, ( 3 x Torchwood, 3 x UNIT, 1 x DG(UK) )

* as depicted in ’28 Decisions Later’. Participation in which is not a requirement.

Not sure what else to run, I have a Cthulhu Rising scenario, which I have already ran for 6 players over skype, but will it cut down to 4 hours tabletop? Hmmm, possibly.

I am also tempted to run 28 Decisions Later again, as I have just spent another 30+ hours tarting it up for Conplusion.

Playing wise, well in my quest to get around as many different GMs as possible, ( then steal all of their cool ways of running games...mwhahaha) : anything really.

Current plan is as follows:

Saturday AM: Swords & Wizardry - scenario to be decided
Saturday Eve: OpenQuest - an old RQ2 scenario from White Dwarf I think
Sunday AM: Swords & Wizardry - a second scenario, yet to be decided

- Neil.

Ottomancer · Posted: Wed Mar 11, 2009 7:37 pm Post subject:

The impending arrival of another addition to the Ottomancer clan this summer means all bets are off as far as my convention attendance in 2009 is concerned. I'll do my best, and if I do make it it might be a non-Cthulhu Rising outing this time, as I hope to have some BRP hard sci-fi of a distinctly non-Lovecraftian ilk to share...
