wbcreighton Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 The community of Fantasy Grounds 2 users is putting on a virtual global gaming convention. Details of the convention and how to sign up can be found here: Convention details - Fantasy Grounds Message Boards There is a google spreadsheet with a schedule of games and applicable times: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AuS4bmZlL0uUdEhLRnQyUFp3cGtkU3g5Ti1jWHZMOGc#gid=0 The basic idea is for experienced GMs/users of Fantasy Grounds 2 Virtual Table Top to host one shot rpg adventures during the weekend of July 20-22, the same way that role playing games are played at such real world conventions like GenCon. The majority of GMs hosting games have an Ultimate license, meaning that no software purchase is required to play in the majority of sessions. We are hoping to show off the functionality of FG2 to new users, and have a fun weekend of gaming. We currently have 17 game sessions scheduled over the weekend using rule sets including D&D, Pathfinder, Rolemaster, Runequest, Mutants & Masterminds, Savage Worlds, The One Ring, Castles & Crusades, and Dresden Files (Fate). This is a global convention so there are games scheduled around the clock. If there are any BRP/D100 GMs out there that are interested in running a session, please help show off the d100 rules. (Hoping Rosen might be able to run a session ) Come to a convention without leaving the comfort of your own home !

RosenMcStern Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Sure! I can run a couple sessions of BRP gaming. Absolutely free! I can run the start of the Crusaders of the Amber Coast campaing, or perhaps Kidnapping in Al-Halisa if someone has never played it. Or perhaps "The Zone" or a nice BRP Mecha game, if you prefer sci-fi. Quote Proud member of the Evil CompetitionTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wbcreighton Posted July 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 (edited) Cool ! "The Zone" ? that is some good old fashioned post apoc fun right ? that sounds good Edited July 9, 2012 by wbcreighton Quote I use fantasygrounds.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RosenMcStern Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Please post here or at FG the preferred time for games. I am more than willing to host on friday, saturday and sunday, but better concentrate on the times when there are more players.

wbcreighton Posted July 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 (edited) My own personal preference ( being on the west coast of N.America) is for around 18:00 GMT on Saturday or Sunday. If you are GMT+2 that would put it in your evening ? You could always post more than one slot on the calendar and run whatever fills up. I would prefer a scifi. It would be nice to have a change from the fantasy game I GM on a weekly basis. I'm reserving the weekend for virtual gaming, so this time slot would be a good way to start off the morning.

wbcreighton Posted July 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 There is also a thread for BRP FG Con interest on the Fantasy Grounds forums here: BRP and the FG Con - Fantasy Grounds Message Boards ( we are up to 2 interested players ) Quote I use fantasygrounds.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am also in California and would prefer a convenient west coast time. Saturday after 5pm is good and all day Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RosenMcStern Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 I have created two games in the game calendar, one for saturday (postapoc) and one for sunday (traditional historical fantasy). I might setup a third one for friday night. I am open to redefining times for both games if there are requests.

wbcreighton Posted July 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 (edited) Well we have a BRP Fantasy game up and ready for Sunday with enough players signed up. For some reason we don't have enough players for a Post Apoc session on Saturday yet. Keep in mind the GM is flexible in scheduling. You can always just sign up and suggest a different time or day even. I did In case you didn't know, the GM is also the esteemed author of various Alephtar BRP publications.

wbcreighton Posted July 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 The con has officially started, first session in a couple of hours. We still need players for the BRP Apoc session on Saturday and the time slot is somewhat flexible. Quote I use fantasygrounds.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wbcreighton Posted July 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 Silent_bob : Rosen has you down for an alternate spot in the game, given the number of players. From what I have witnessed in online gaming, at least 95% of the time, someone will not show up for a one shot game. Do you have a license for Fantasy Grounds ? Just asking in case I might be able to run a short BRP demo later in the evening, but I have a full license, so you would need a Lite license or better to join one of my games.

RosenMcStern Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Thanks to all participants. Unfortunately my well-known crappy connection prevented playing BRP, but the rest of the crew moved to Pathfinder with Trenloe so they had fun, in the end, and this is all that is important. If anyone is interested, we may organize other demos, but not before September as I am moving to vacation location where I have a bad connection that prevents online play.

wbcreighton Posted July 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 It was too bad. I guess we learned that the Italian internet doesn't work so good. With 7 players signed up and ready to go, it shows there is interest in BRP on FG2. We'll catch up with you again next time, and thanks for putting in the effort to get it up and running. Nice to put a voice to your forum name. Quote I use fantasygrounds.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
