RunnyMoot?

A while back, I suggested a local games day.

The idea was to gather all of the myriad gamers in the area together and basically mix them all up to play a few different games. Back then, the idea fell over because my life got eaten by something or other.

I'm suggesting it again now. If you're interested, there's a discussion on my forum (You'll need to sign up for the forum to post to it).

We need the following if it's going to happen:
Organisers
People to run games
People to play games

The idea is that it's aimed at locals and people who are known to locals, and that it's focussed on tabletop games in the daytime slots and a single one-off LARP in the evening. Interested parties, sign up for the forum and post in the thread. If interest grows enough, I'll add a forum specifically for the event, which can cover things like working out when to do this, how much it should cost, etc.

[To clarify - we're starting with locals and friends of locals. This might change, but I think trying to do too much too quickly would be a msitake. Start small, and if it works, do it again but maybe with a few more folks from further afield, and so on.]

I shall wave this kind of thing under his nose as and when the opportunity arises... Consider it waved under your nose as well, though!

I do consider it so waved, but more as a player than a runner for preference...

From past experience, finding players for this kind of thing is every bit as hard as finding GMs and organisers... You tend to end up with everybody who wants to run stuff clamouring for the slots and then have to make sure there's enough players to support a bunch of them!

Well, round here it's like that anyway. Too many folks who like running stuff...

I am happy to run something, probably the paranoia where the PCs get to be children who do not even have infra red clearance.
