My hotel has been reserved, and my GM events have been submitted. This year Kobolds Ate My Baby will be returning in its full glory, so I may be gorging on silly RPGs.
This year I will be running TWO Venture Brothers Paranoia events, if they are accepted by the system:
Paranoia: My Friend Mark IV Returns - Thursday 6/21 8 AM (4 Hours)
The Thursday morning mission will be my own tweaks (to be written) on the classic mission Me and My Shadow Mark IV. What would be more fun guarding the Mark IV Warbot (a massive OGRE)? Doing it as the Monarch, Phantom Limb, Monstroso, Dr. Killinger, Baron Underbeit and Twenty-Four! Someone will engage in monologue while standing on their chair and referencing Facebook, or Markie will get sad. A sad warbot is not a pretty sight, especially when it outweighs and outguns you by, say, INFINITY.The giant cybernetic warbot still doesn't like being guarded by Troubleshooters (the Venture Villains). In this darkly humorous dystopian world, Friend Computer will provide hilarious opportunities for your heroic clones to revisit a classic favorite mission guaranteed to be 110% fun, 16% safe and free* of Commie Mutant Traitors. Trust No One. Keep Your Laser Handy. No knowledge of the rules is necessary -- that would be treason!
Paranoia: Venture for the ORB - Friday 6/22 8 AM (4 Hours)
I had a blast running Friday morning Paranoia last year, even though the players completely ruined the gimmick for my transition into second half of the mission. Team Venture was having so much fun just running with the jokes referring to the "TAG Sale" episode and chasing down the Monarch, I saved the rest of the material for this year. A few players kept stalking me for the rest of the convention, talking up how much fun they had.Troubleshooter Team Venture must secure a mysterious experimental device known as The Orb from the Commie Mutant Traitors. In this darkly humorous dystopian world, Friend Computer will provide hilarious opportunities for your heroic clones to sacrifice themselves multiple times to demonstrate their loyalty. Or frame others, and take credit for their termination. Trust No One. Keep Your Laser Handy. No knowledge of the rules is necessary -- that would be treason!
