You're welcome at any of my games; I try to keep extra pregens handy for drop-ins.

Rimdall

I believe it is to some extent, in that people here will often post about plot ideas and characters for the Lazlo site here.

Unfortunately the GM of the Beyond the Supernatural had to step down due to life intruding. I'm taking up the reins and hoping to add some new players. If fighting supernatural horrors using the powers of your mind sounds like fun, look us up.

Rimdall

Are you interested in things that go bump in the night? Terrors that walk by the light of day? Want to bump the things back? Want to relive the '80s? Due to real life, Caradoc had to step down as GM of the BtS game on explorersunlimited.com. I've volunteered to take the reins because I love BtS. The...

I submitted 5 games to the ambassadors email on Jan 17. Could someone please confirm they got them?

Rimdall

Hendrik - I think we have rooms reserved for us at the House of BtS ... I think so, Rimdall. I understand the House of BtS is famous for its hospitality and arcane library And decor - as long as you're a fan of cobwebs... ... I'd love to pick your brain sometime - I'm working on a WWII BtS game for...

Rimdall

Why play it? It is the most versatile horror game out there. I have played in the 1930s, 2nd world war, Age or Rapiers, and modern days. My games have been Cthuluhoid, classical horror, ghost stories, MIB, etc. etc. All that from one book. I think it is the best buy for a horror game you can get. D...

Open House for 2014, please.

Rimdall

The event registration won't go live until May and I don't think there's a way to view the games until the catalog comes out around that time. If you want, I can send an e-mail with the three games I've submitted and notify you when they are approved.

Rimdall

I'm getting my games together to submit. I'm planning on 4 this year. Three BtS and maybe a PF one.

Rimdall

A 2014 OH, please.

Rimdall

FYI - looks like event submissions for GenCon open on Jan. 11. Given the response I got last year, it would be wonderful to see more Pally games this year.

Rimdall

Yes, please.

Rimdall

I ran three games at GenCon this year. Thursday's game was a BtS game called Family Roots that I had run at two Open Houses. I had 8 players that comprised a mix of experienced gamers and newbies, but the majority were familiar with the Palladium system. While the game didn't last the full 4 hours, ...

Rimdall

Out of curiosity, I made one of my pregens a psychic para. Granted that the style of play at cons is different, the player had fun with it and made good use of the powers.

Rimdall

There's a series of titles on rpgnow.com called 'Modern Floorplans'; that may be what you're looking for. That site has a lot of great resources. I've used several in my games. In addition to the great advice they gave you earlier, I'd add: Don't stress. Maybe try just mapping a neighborhood of the ...

Rimdall

Still trying to decide on who is powerful enough to do this but unable to go himself/herself/itself. I'll toss in a couple of possibilities for this. 1.) An Alien Intelligence who can't quite get enough of itself into Rifts earth for whatever reason. 2.) An imprisoned god - there are numerous examp...

Was that the Slivo he brought last time? If so, they carry it in most big liquor stores.

Rimdall

I've heard a couple of people say they thought there were more people at this OH than in times past. To me, it seemed about the same number. The organization has always been first rate.

Rimdall

Mike - I'm a pretty shy person, but I have to say that at the Open House, it feels like I'm meeting distant family; I may not know them all that well, but we have things in common. I've been to other cons and the Open House is really different than those. Maybe it's because you're familiar with the ...

If I'm not running a game when you are, I'll try to attend them.

Ditto - your games are a blast.

And thank you.

Rimdall

Shawn and Sam, please share what you develop with the rest of us -- and the Megaversal Ambassadors. I don't think that the MAs currently have any BtS adventures in their collection of con games.

I think that's the story you were talking about. You're right, it would make a good hook.

Rimdall

Hendrik, I'm planning on running at least 2 BtS games again this year. I don't have them planned out enough to give a description just yet, but that's coming soon, I hope. I'd like to play in "Operation Minotaur" if the game schedule permits.

Rimdall

I'll be there. I'm working on the games I plan to run now, so I'm not pulling all-nighters the week before. The question is, should I offer to run one Thursday night?

I was invited on Saturday night to playtest a new setting that a guy had come up with for Time Travel. I had to run over to my computer for a second first and when I got there he didn't have a character for me. So I made it on the fly and had an awesome time in the game. The GM comes over and asks ...

Rimdall

I think next year I may reserve a couple seats each game for walk ups only. These would be first come first serve when the game starts. I also usually have one extra character beyond what the game lists just in case extra people show up. I only used the extra character on Sunday. I was surprised be...

Rimdall

You did the evil GM one for me; it's already scanned and I'll get it e-mailed today. Everyone I showed it to loved it, and the wife admits it creeps her out, so WIN! It was really nice getting to meet you both. You guys do great work. But I'm curious - what did Kevin say to you on Sunday when he too...

Oh, I never said I disagree with him. Spending a week in a tank in the desert without a chance to wash up will make showers near and dear to one's heart. Just gotta give him a hard time now and again.

No funky-smelling gamers! Bring your hygiene products, people--and use them! That's what I hate most about big cons like GenCon--the funk! I served on a warship with 5,000 men and women in tight confines. If we could smell pleasant under those circumstances... WASH YOUR BUTTS! You sound like some o...

It was the haunted warehouse search that resulted in the wedding ring being returned to the ghost house. I think that's a brief summary. I think you were the parapsychologist. Yes! That was me.

I would be honored. I think you were at my BtS game at GallowsCon; I plan on having these much more polished.

~Not sure if the intesity of a roleplaying game can be caught on video Two thoughts on this. One, you don't need to catch the intensity; show the people laughing and having a good time - that would create curiosity. Two, Jason Marker. At Gen Con, his energetic GMing during his BtS game had a guy at...

Everything is lined up - room, passes, all the good stuff. Now I just need to get the games I hope to run put together. Yee-ha!

Rimdall

Put me down as an enthusiastic yes. It was great gaming, meeting people and seeing the whole operation. I'm still buzzed from it. Wherever, whenever, I'm there.

Rimdall

The great people and great gaming. I've picked up ideas for GMing my own games. In fact, if there's an OH next year (oh please, please) I'd like to try running a game. More books added, favorite book signed (thank you, Kevin) and wonderful memories, even if I can't remember specific quotations. Than...

160. Gettin' ready to head for dinner, but open for gaming or hanging out.

Rimdall

I'm pretty sure you can pick up an I-Pass at Jewel stores; I don't know if you have them up there. Check www.illinoistollway.com for sure, but I think you can even order them online or by phone.

Rimdall

I'd recommend 294 instead of 94. I make it from right by 88 and 294 to Valpariaso, IN in about 1.5 - 2 hours on a daily basis. 94 from Chicago south to 80 is pretty torn up.

Rimdall

Looks like Indiana will be well represented - coming from Wanatah (basically Valpo) myself.

Rimdall

As one who drives it every day, I can attest that I-80 is still under construction by the state line, but not as bad as last year. Also, starting around 4/17, I-94 by I-65 in Indiana will be going under the knife with nightly lane closures. This has been your regularly scheduled traffic update.
