trollbill 05-07-07, 03:44 PM	Okay, I just got done registering for my GenCon slots and had an odd problem. I tried registering for the Open Fiesta midnight slots and it told me registration for those events wouldn't begin until 8/30/2007, which is of course 2 weeks after GenCon 2007 is over. Anyone have a clue what's up with this?
Reznor00 05-07-07, 04:05 PM	Yeah I ran into that problem too when trying to add them to my cart. Probably something they will fix in a few days so I'd check back. I can't process my stuff though their website times out every time I go to checkout and I'm a cable connection from my house..... ~MB

Just not that and True Dungeon (which doesn't open registration until 7:00 EST tonight). I just want to make sure I don't find out they fixed the problem 5 minutes after registration for it is full.
evilaustintom 05-07-07, 04:42 PM	I don't think you have anything to worry about. The event is posted to run based on generic tickets anyway. This is mainly because it is all self-mustered (you have to find yourself a DM and enough players to run a table). The real trick is to get yourself a pre-mustered table before the con. There may be SOME DMs there taking walk-in requests...but I know for my own situation, I have found myself DMs from other states who are going. We did the same thing last year (pre-mustering ourselves) and played in a Pale, Ulek, and Keoland module. We also had BK, Yeomanry, and Verbobonc judges at the table who could run modules from THEIR regions, in case one of the pre-assigned DMs didn't show. Check with the Warhorn site to help in finding DMs (since that's usually tougher than finding players). Good luck! Tom Thowe
UMiskatonic 05-08-07, 12:34 PM	Yeah, finding a judge is the tough part here. The number of players is going to be judges times six, and everyone else is sent home. So, if your're interested: a) start planning now b) bring a mod from your region that you can judge I found trading very successful (I'll judge Friday, you judge Saturday).
trollbill 05-08-07, 02:01 PM	Ah, thank you for the info. With that in mind, I will offer to run any current Ulek Mod, including the one I wrote, for Open Fiesta if I can get someone else to run me in 1 (or 2) of theirs. I would dearly love to play IUZ6-05 Madhouse as I have heard a lot of good things about it. I cannot play Ulek or Sheldomar Valley mods.

trollbill 05-08-07, 06:57 PM	Open Fiesta has a warhorn page with an organizer contact address: http://www.warhorn.net/genconindyopenfiesta2007/ I'm not seeing how that gaurantees you get to play if you offer to run (which is how I understand it is supposed to work).
UMiskatonic 05-09-07, 04:52 PM	Hey, Anyone willing to run -one- Duchy of Urnst mod? I've got fantastic regional access, but I need a regional to take advantage. I'll trade a Verbobonc or VTF mod, and if you show up a day early to GenCon, I'll throw in a lot more... Thanks, Rudolf
Contrarian 05-09-07, 05:07 PM	I'm not seeing how that gaurantees you get to play if you offer to run (which is how I understand it is supposed to work). Don't look at me for answers; I was just pointing out the e-mail address of the guy people should be asking questions of. As an aside, though, you've got a bit of game theory problem here: If nobody wants to commit to DMing a game until they're guaranteed a player slot, nobody's going to be DMing or playing anything.

I wonder how they did this last year? It certainly makes sense that those willing to DM should get playing priority over those who aren't.
Mommy was an Orc 05-09-07, 05:47 PM	It worked out pretty well - remember, you only need 1 DM for 6 players. For every 7 people, you only need 1 of those 7 to DM each night. I even ended up at a table of I think, 5 people. 2 weird mutt rogue acrobat clerics, a wizard who specifically doesn't do damage, a cleric, and my bard. And the Cleric got turned into a non-caster in an all undead mod...
Grovar 05-19-07, 06:07 PM	Hi. I too would be willing to run either a Verbobonc or a VTF module in exchange for most any other regional module other than Dyvers, which I should be able to get later this year. I have access to most of Y6 and Y7 modules. If you have a specific module you want run, let me know. As for what I am l looking for, I am not picky. James H.
Shieldhart91 05-19-07, 06:35 PM	If I am able to go (I cannot even pre-reg my badge or sign up for events...I hate being a minor...*sigh*)...I will run any Furyondy Regional or Iuz Metaregional for those of prospective interest, in return for housing me and several other people (probably about 3-4 people total) in one of their region's mods. Email me if interested ( rlrutherford09@gmail.com )
