Obligatory Intercon schedule post

Damn. Many tough choices for this year's Intercon!

Friday has Story Wars, about which I heard so much wacky last year that I really want to try it out, and Tonight at 8, which sounds delightful, and Shadow Over Babylon, which is by AE, which is good enough for me. May have to flip some coins. At least I'll have backups?

Saturday morning is easier, since Lifeline sounds cool and is written by friends of mine, whereas Super Villain Academy just sounds cool, so that'll be my backup.

Saturday afternoon has Life at the Securemarket, which is written by a friend, related to another game I enjoyed, and to a third game I was sad I didn't play in last time because everybody went nuts with costuming and looked amazing, so it'll probably be my first choice. Then again, its predecessor filled up fast, so as a backup I'm looking at Fuzzies Live, because it looks... special.

Saturday evening seems to be the slot of "this game contains mature themes". There's Like Putting a Leash on a Rocket Launcher, which looks like it could be fun but challenging for me, possibly in an uncomfortable way, but then maybe in a good way. After all, the same could have been said of Martha Stewart's, by the same author, which I ended up really enjoying partly because it was a bit challenging. Then again, if I really wanted to "challenge" myself, I could always do Green Fairy, but... no, probably not. And then there's Slash... I look forward to hearing about that one, but probably not playing in it. So yeah, some options, but no MUST PLAYs for me in this slot. Possibly Veteran's Day, though the blurb is a bit sparse. Anyone have recs here?

Sunday has Diamond Geezers, a larp in the style of Snatch and Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. Sign. Me. Up. If that falls through, it's probably time I played one of those ubiquitous All Batman games.

I played in Moving Day at Intercon F, which was also set in the Fuzzies universe. It was a real hoot, so Blackie's Juice Bar is my first choice in that slot, particularly if they'll let me reprise my role from Moving Day.

Clearly, for Saturday night you should wait and hope Chateau Ennui (Tom's film noir game) gets accepted as a late bid and gets put in the Saturday night slot, and then play that <_< Seriously, though, while I highly recommend it, we don't even know if it's going to be accepted, much less put in that slot. If it does get accepted, I'll likely be helping run it, otherwise I'm planning to play Urquhart in that slot. So, other than that I have no actually useful suggestions ^^;

Hm. For some reason, I thought that you'd played in Lifeline. At any rate, you totally should! It is intense and fabulous.

I will see you there, but possibly just in the hallways -- I don't think our game choices have a lot of overlap.

If you do end up in the Batman game, it is a lot of fun. The way that particular game is crafted, it can also be played multiple times and not hamper one's fun. It's more about providing situations and then letting people improv. As an example, everyone grabs some kind of disguise and you could end up with four Batman's showing up somewhere or four Jokers or various combinations of other characters and such.

I've played a Fuzzie game before. It was fun.

It sounds like we may have some overlap in events that weekend, so I'll likely end up seeing you in something.

Gods. I just looked at the schedule tonight, and I am going to be disappointed no matter what! D:

I'll look forward to GMing you in Lifeline.
