Woot!

[Dantic]

I will be attending Dragon, and would be willing to run a couple of games. I am an experienced player/GM, but have not played any Missions, so I would like to play in at least one before running a session myself.

[Wasabi]

Dantic, the very first actual SRM game being offered ("Something Completely Different") is extremely difficult to run and play. Many players have commented on this particular mission and I strongly believe it would be a negative first impression. As of this post three tickets are available for SRM03-10 Spin Control in slot 3. THAT mission is fantastic, one of my favorite from both the Denver and NYC arcs, and would be a much better mission to get a feel for the SRM program. The CMP offered in slot 2 should have SRM characters but I dont how similar or dissimilar it may be to an SRM module.

Pre-regging is never a bad idea, tickets are available at http://gaming.dragoncon.org/eventsearch

CMPs in general should be identical to a regular SRM adventure, other than they're not necessarily New York based. They're designed as "one off" adventures, for the most part. They also don't generally involve faction/affiliations, and they don't give out Contacts. Otherwise they're structered and run just like a normal Missions game (Just roll with it if your Missions character ends up outside his normal element (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) )

A friend told me Karma from CMP's could be used in Missions. Is this the case? I was under the impression the stuff from CMP's didnt carry over...

[Dantic]

Where can we find the rules/FAQ for CMP?

[LurkerOutThere]

There isn't one but yes exp from the CMP's can be applied to your missions character no problemo. Think of them as vacations or a chance to try something new.

[Wasabi]

Huh. No shit. COOL!

[KarmaInferno]

CMPs are regular SRM events.

They just occur outside the main campaign setting (i.e. outside New York), and are basically only offered at conventions.

They're side stories. Still part of the SRM campaign.

Yup. Some of them try and give a half-assed excuse for why you're outside of New York. In the CMP I wrote, the opening fluff talks about how you'd been hired to do a Bodyguard Job in Seattle, and the Johnson had even smuggled all your gear there, but the target was killed before you got there. So you sight see for a couple days and are getting ready to head home, when you get a call from your fixer who says he knows someone tehre who needs some help... It's silly, but provides some reason why you're there, and why you're getting hired by a local Johnson.

As said, they're side stories, vacations, and a way to do runs outside of the Missions story, They don't use faction/affiliation and don't award contacts (Since they're generally one offs), but otherwise they're full Missions and worth money and karma (and possible other loots that you can take back to New York).

CMP stands for Convention Mission Pack, and they're exclusively for Conventions, at least for now. At the end of the year, we're talking about collecting them and releasing all 8 as a cheap bundle (We want to make them publicly availble for play at some point), but till them they're only available at Cons.

Incidentally, if anyone has room space at DragonCon, I would love to pay a full share for crash space. PM me.

Only found out I can go today, and getting a room is kinda impossible now.

TA-DA! It looks like I have returned from my 5-year hiatus from PNP RPGs just in time...needless to say I haven't GM'd anything in a while, but I've been brushing up on the rules to try get some games in here in Atlanta before D*C. I looked at the events at D*C...could you please explain the "CMP" code? Are those SRM events...or "classic" style pre-gen events? That way I can make an informed decision before volunteering (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Thanks.

CMP = Convention Mi9ssion Pack adventures. They're regular Missions games, they're just not a part of the Seasonal Missions (SRM 03 being New York).

[Torch]

Thanks. It would have helped if I'd read the second page of posts BEFORE posting my question. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Any chance on some slot zeroes for judges? Or some additional slots if you had a judge willing to run them (e.g., Slot 1?)

[Torch]

Do I infer correctly that Kai is marshalling the SRM judges for D*C? As far as availability, I intend to be at the con for slots 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13 and 14. Are any judges available for zeros either Thursday night or prior to the con? On a final note (for now), if you are judging at least 7 slots (or you would judge 7 slots but for cost /availability of a room) and are REALLY SOL, let me know...there may be room at the inn (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rotate.gif)

(As an aside, I thought I'd mention that most of the Atlanta players I know are "stuck" in Denver, so there some lack of interest in SRM at D*C because of the incorrect perception that the available events are all in NY).
