Hi all!

The purpose of this post is to promote and provide information about;

HUGE ANURPS Games Long Weekend

When: Saturday 24th April and 25th Sunday and [pending] 26th Monday!
Where: Copland Building at ANU. Ooh, a map!
Cost: $5 per day. (for lunch and profit)



Note that the black line shows you where to go (from Barry Drive) to park if you need to drive in. The red circle is the part of Copland where our rooms are. We meet up just outside of Copland (Building 24), room 30. Room 30 is labelled very clearly COPG030.

Please be there at 8:30am so we can organise games!

Lunch will be included each day, so it is VERY important you sign up for the day(s) you plan to attend.

There are three games slots 9:00am - 1:00pm, 2pm - 6pm, 6:30pm-10:30pm (or as advised by GMs).

Which games will be offered?
Depends entirely upon the kindness of GMs!

I believe the current plan is indeed to have ANURPS Games Day, April 24th-26th, 2010.

I'm currently scheduled to be working that weekend, so in order for me to try to get out of it, I'd really love confirmation as soon as possible, if that is possible... I need to swap shifts with people, unfortunately. God I hate shift work. Thank you in advance.

I think I can make this Games Day. (o:

And, has ANURPS changed it's name or is the "ANUPRS" in the title some kind of running gag?

Yay! Unfortunately, I probably be able to make it, but I might be able to attend on the Sunday or Monday. I might even run Capes - if I am not sick of superheroes by then!

Yes, ANURPS was acquired by the United Parcel Service and combined to form the Australian National Universal Parcel Roleplaying Service, or ANUPRS. We now pride ourselves on delivering quality roleplaying games. And your parcels. For a service fee.

Either that or it's a typo.

So anyone else wanting to schedule a game in here, mmm mmm mmm?

[scarydith]

Thanks for keeping this updated, James!

Could you please change the first timeslot to 9:00am? I showed up for Pathfinder at about 9:15 last time and apparently they were waiting for me to start at 9 on the dot.

Also, I have been told that the rooms are confirmed, so you might want to change the title of this thread as apparently it's no longer just the Saturday! ANURPS getting back to multi-gamesdays = awesomesauce!!

When will Dance Dance Resolution be held?

And lunch at 1am? Mmm, midnight snack...

I was talking to a few people last Friday at beerup about doing a big boardgames day there, I was just wondering who'd be interested in that and if so what games?

There was talk primarily of Twilight Imperium and Diplomacy, both many hour long games (usually 4) so I'd like to organise players before hand. That way if we end up with too many people wanting to play we can arrange for 2 games of each as they can be run side by side and then the players swap (Unless others also have copies of the games besides me).

Also on one of the other days I was thinking of running a Frag tournament (the first person shooter board game) and was wondering who might be interested in that idea?

I was going to do both normal games (free for all), team games (up to 6v6), objective games (capture the flag, race, etc) and special maps inspired by movies such as aliens or zombies (hold against the hordes for X amount of time). Due to having a large clear battlemap for D&D I can design maps on Viso small scale and then just draw them out on the day.

I could be interested in TI or Diplomacy - the latter especially. I have plenty of friends...it's time to lose some!

Parcel Roleplaying? Is this some kind of Metal Gear Solid cardboard-box reference RPG?

Boardgames! I'll bring Dominion to play. I'll will not likely make the Saturday 9am session so I'll aim for some morning Dominion action.

O, and I have been requested to run Lady Blackbird, so I'll probably do so on the Saturday afternoon.

Lady Blackbird: Tales from the Blue Yonder Find it free here.

Lady Blackbird is on the run from an arranged marriage to Count Carlowe. She hired a smuggler skyship, The Owl, to take her from the Imperial world of Ilysium to the far reaches of the Remnants to be with her once secret lover: the pirate king Uriah Flint.

However, just before reaching the halfway point of Haven, The Owl was pursued and captured by the Imperial cruiser Hand of Sorrow, under charges of flying a false flag.

Even now, the crew of The Owl are detained in the brig while the Imperial commander runs the ship’s registry over the wireless. It’s only a matter of time before they discover the outstanding warrants and learn that The Owl is owned by none other than the infamous outcast, Cyrus Vance.

How will Lady Blackbird and the others escape the Hand of Sorrow?

What dangers lie in their path?

Will they be able to find the secret lair of the pirate king? if they do, will Uriah Flint accept Lady Blackbird as his bride? By the time they get there, will she want him to?

Go. Play. And find out.

My gaming is getting a little more structured this weekend!

In the Saturday afternoon session, I've promised I'll run a Victorian era one-shot of the Dresden Files RPG, pending players.

In the Monday afternoon session, I'm going to be having the second character creation session for my casual Spirt of the Century game: come along, make a character, and you'll have the option of playing SotC when you have time to fit it in.

I'll have a pile of other games, too: Perfect, As the World Ends, Contenders, Ghost/Echo, Leverage, and anything else that catches my eye between now and Saturday morning.
