Just a follow-up:
Very spotty gaming attendance.
Friday Night:
- Erik got 1 player for his Heroquest Game. Did not run.
- Mark played Capes for 90 minutes with some folks waiting to go to another event
Saturday-Day
- DaveL Runs "Fire over Omac" for Burning Empires and Mark and Erik join him. Fun.
- Erik (after a run of Robo Rally) finally gets to play his Heroquest/Transhuman Space zombies in space game. He confuses task resolution with conflict resolution and ends up doing a lot of repeated rolls instead of quick scene resolution. A flashback s

[continued after crash]
scene gets botched and the players end up getting bonuses for dealing with a NPC that they met during the intro scene but who disappears afterwards.
Saturday:
Frag for Deadlands and Once Upon a Time fill up a few hours of gaming fun.
I am thinking that we will simply come in as a team. Players can sign up for which game will be run. The GM for that GAme runs the scenario and 2 of us act as players to ensure that quorum is made. If more than 3 players show up, the IndieRPG Toronto folks can drop out and play card games.
