This thread
game me an idea.
I would like to play a 3-session game of Sorcerer at Gen Con (yes, I realize that this won't really happen, but I want to pretend). On each night a new GM would take over, but it would be the same story with the same kickers. The previous GM leaves his notes for the next, who may or may not do something radically different. In this way everyone gets to play (including Ron), and we get to se a few really gifted GMs at work.
It sounds to me like a great experiement only possible with several "skilled" and enthusiastic players--perfect for a gathering like GenCon.

I will add in general - if there are people who want to "prep" for a Adept Press (or whatever) game experiment before GenCon, and then conduct that experiment at GenCon - that sounds very cool to me.

I'm for it. I'm even interested in having it be public, which is to say, lots of people as observers.
Best,
Ron

What Ron really means to say is, "Naked."

Look, Jake's gone from 50s coffee-house to 60s Woodstock in one day. Wait for us, speedy-butt.
Sorry - Demon Cops it is. Pay up $5 already.

Yeah, I know. I think I just want something out of the print books that isn't a mod. I've done the sengoku thing, and the Sorcerer and Sword thing...
I want to play a regular arrogant disfunctional guy that summons demons in downtown miami.

All right, already.
1. Modern day Sorcerer.
2. Set in Miami.
3. Jake's the first GM. (I'll be dibs on #2)
4. Three sessions of play.
5. Don't fuck it up some way.
Who else? I suggest four people total.
And this means that Jake has to helm the whole "customization" process like I did in the Art-Deco discussion. Jake?
Best,
Ron

Ha! Look at where my whining got me! Let me take a look at Demon cops first, then I'll get back to you in a few days. I might like the idea.

Ooohhh. I like the Miami setting. Give me a neon pink bikini, designer nails, and a cell phone demon.
