QUOTE (Redjack @ Feb 25 2008, 12:01 PM)  Website I know its probably a little early.... When will the events for this con be posted? CGL Sponsored events were submitted to them in January. AFAIK, we haven't yet heard anything back regarding what was approved. So, until we hear back, we can't promote any of our events. In terms of when they historically post their events -- it depends. Origins seems to have a knack for running "behind schedule." It wouldn't surprise me if they didn't open events for registration until April. |

RPGA is delivering their slot requests to GAMA around the end of March, so I'm guessing gaming won't even begin to solidify until the beginning of April.
I'd love to see a ton of Shadowrun there... I'm up in the air about attending Origins right now, as I'm really only interested in playing Shadowrun and Heroes of Rokugan. If I can get half a dozen slots of SRM in, though, I'm there. Probably. |

So what's the roll-call from here? How many DSers will be making Origins?

Good news/Bad news, then: Good news -- there will be a lot of Shadowrun at Origins. We've submitted a comparable number to last year, when we ran more than 30 tables of SR games. Bad news -- you won't get half a dozen slots of SRM. CGL will be running adventures from the new story arc (set in NYC), and there will be less than 6 adventures available. |

CGL will be running adventures from the new story arc (set in NYC), and there will be less than 6 adventures available. Well here's a question then: I fairly recently "discovered" SRM and have about the first 6-7 missions completed (out of 25 in the Denver arc), and it seems improbable that I can get the other 18 or so down by Origins (every gamer in Atlanta basically focuses on either Living Greyhawk (even on its death bed) or Witch Hunter, alas)... so will there be a problem if my character is commuting between NYC and Denver, ie. starting the NYC arc before actual completion of the Denver arc? |

That would be a rather substantial problem. Just as a Denver character can't go back and play through the SRM01 Seattle adventures, a character who has moved to NYC won't be able to go back and play through the Denver adventures. |

Any news on the Origins schedule or are they still dragging their feet (as usual)?

We sent stuff into them quite some time ago, but I'm not comfortable posting what we submitted until I know what has and has not made it through their approval process. Their web site still says that they'll be posting the events listing in "the spring."

I suspect everyone at GAMA is totally busy doing final prep for the GAMA Trade Show [April 20-24 in Vegas] and that we won't see movement on the Origins event list until early to mid May.

I can probably make it to Origins, considering it's held in a building connected to the one I work in, and I live about 3 blocks away. I've never played any Shadowrun Missions before, though. Are there any guidelines for making a character that I need to know about, or just the standard 400 point bit?

I'll be there this year. Hell, High Water, or Women Scorned.
I'm guessing I'll have to deal with at least one of the three. |

FWIW, I bought my badge yesterday, so... I'll be there.
-paws EDIT: and my wife decided she wants to attend too! woo hoo! Looks like we'll be able to get seated together at 3 of the 4 games. The 4th game was closed, but I'm hoping she can get seated anyway (the games are designed for 8, and the registration only lists 6, so...). |

I have a hunch that Big Bar on 2 is the most likely place to find them ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Scary to think of life without the Big Bar.. though having the Karaoke up there every nigh tis sure to help drive people away (IMG:style_emoticons/default/spin.gif)
We've run through the dealers room and will be around the Catalyst booth a bit, and IWM. We've been hitting the gaming hall a few times as well. Our nicks are in big black marker on our tags as well, so keep a lookout |

Yeah, I'm on my second pedal, and after watching a couple folks stomp on it last night, I'm a little worried about it surviving the weekend.
I've been pondering looking into one of the Drum Pedal mods that are done up using a real kick pedal. They're a bit pricey, especially cnosidering how rarely I get to really play with a group. |
