I ran a game yesterday for Phil, Tony, and Wilhelm. It was a lot of fun. I'm hoping to convince Wil to write it up in Actual Play. :) There's a post about in on Attacks of Oppotunity, too.
I think Clinton was planning to run a game yesterday. Did it happen?
Ricardo? Anyone else?

I hope to playtest one weeknight next week (that's not this week, but the one after).
Still sorting out the timing.

I've got 5 people set up to play on Saturday. At least 3 more people on top of that for whenever I get the next date for playtesting up.

I'd like to get some playing done this weekend, but I don't see it happening. I'll probably run a game or two while at Gen Con, where almost all my regular gang will be.

Sorry, logistics fouled up my playtest and it didn't come through. Now I'm setting things up for this weekend. Hope I can get two or three players!

Yeah, all my fuckin' fucks didn't show up.
Apologies for language. New Orleans people just tick me off some times. I'll try again for this coming up weekend.
This game screams for online play, actually. The geomorphic tile thing could be done with a neat web app. I'm not volunteering to write it, though.

Hooray! People are actually trying to play my game. I am pleased. Sorry it didn't work out for some of you.
Fuckin' nawlins fucks.

Awesome! Thanks for doing the write-up, Wil. I'll give others a chance to respond or ask questions before I wade in.

Just got confirmation - we will be playtesting one night next week, probably Thursday (but maybe Friday).

Hello.
Evidently, I'm a fucking nawlins fuck what doesn't show up. :) El Clintonian failed to mention that he scheduled a session on Sunday and started asking if people were available on Thursday. Also, to John's credit, his manuscript sells itself better than C's original email.
Read my Actual Play post here:

Prep: Virtually none. I had no idea what was going to happen, story-wise, until my players made their characters. I tend to run very character-driven games, letting them dictate my plot.
Notably, they instigated bringing their characters together in the Gypsy Camp. Shortly after that point, I wrapped the game.

RE: Re: Who is Playtesting?
Update: due to someone forgetting an anniversary (!), my playtesting has been postponed till next Friday. On the plus side, I might have an extra Stranger (taking it up to three).

RE: Re: Who is Playtesting?
our group play-tested this weekend, and I posted the results in Actual Play.
Thanks again John.
