Anyone going to AmberCon NW: Is there anything you want me to run?

Thinking about Misery Bubblegum, S/Lay w/Me, Shooting the Moon, Polaris ... other thoughts? I can run basically any "indie game" plus, of course, Amber, but I figure people will probably have plenty of that already.

I think you should run Dogs in the Vineyard, only set it at the North Pole during the End Times and have giant mechs and teenage angst. Oh, and make everyone hobos.

Given that like %75 of AmberCon games are "it's a mashup!" already, I think maybe I'll stick to one thing at a time.

Conformist!

Seriously, though, I'd say Drifters Escape, since it sounds cool and would sit well with some of the players who like something different. But it might be a touch too different, depending on the other choices are in that particular slot.

Or you could fuck with us all and run a balls-to-the-wall ADRPG game 'by the book' as a tribute to Erick.

If there are two people interested in Drifter's, I'll run it.

by the book, huh.

How long do Throne Wars take to run, usually? I could do that.

Variable. From a player perspective, anywhere from 30 minutes to six hours, depending on when they get killed. :)

It doesn't *have* to be a throne war, though. You could just try to do a generic 'Threat to Amber, Squabbling children of Elders must band together (...or not) to confront it (...or not).' game.

I like throne wars. Basically because they let us rewrite canon as we play. I don't like playing games with a big canon to rely on. Crimps my style.

Throne wars are fun as set-less parlor larps. Standing up is fun.
