[Origins 2006] Looking for indie rpgs to play
Since I run Gen Con I'm too busy to game there. So I go to Origins every year to actually play (and sometimes actually get to do just that!).
I'm looking for "indie RPG" games to get into for my father and I. Right now my only committment is the Origins awards (if they have an actual ceremony this year) and the Game Critics Awards (again, if it happens).
Would love to play Sorcerer, Dogs in the Vinyard, Universalis, or anything that's semi-serious. (The Secret Lives of Gingerbread Men was a fabulous read, but I think I'll pass on actually playing it.)
I'll be accompanied by my father, so I'm looking for games that have at least two openings. (I can always recruit more players if needed.)

Hi, Peter!
As luck would have it, I'm actually going to be at Origins this year. I'll be spending most of my time at the IPR booth, where I'll gladly demo nearly anything at the booth for you. Since I don't have any scheduled events, I could easily set up a time to run something for you & your father: Something like: With Great Power... (melodramatic superheroes), My Life with Master, Universalis, Prime Time Adventures, InSpectres, or the like. Contact me by PM and we'll set up a time or two.

Michael, I would love to PM you, but am not sure how to do that (I skimmed the Help page; if its there I missed it).
Howabout email? I'm at peter@gencon.com.

Peter,
I'll also be at Origins. I'll be more than happy to run The Shadow of Yesterday for you (in which you'll see a debt to D&D3E) and show you/demo many other games, including my new favorite indie rpg, Swansong, which could be called Everway: Delta easily.

Peter,
You can catch up with Clinton, Michael, and me at the IPR booth. We can run demos or full games after the event hall closes. I am going to be debuting my game Mortal Coil and I'd be happy to run it for you.
