Hell’s Bells! We need some replacement GMing
So, we’ve had some bad news. Two of our volunteer GMs, Jon Hixson and Tom Cadorette, aren’t going to be able to make it to Origins. In Tom’s case he’s been eaten by a sudden plumbing crisis, which figures — water grounds out magic, right?
These are the game slots affected:
| 6243 | Capital Chaos | 2 THU 2:00 PM | Fairfield 4 | Endangered | DFRPG |
| 7184 | Vacant Streets | 3 FRI 11:00 AM | Marion 1 | Rescued! | DFRPG |
| 6242 | Capital Chaos | 3 FRI 2:00 PM | Clark 2 | Rescued! | DFRPG |
| 6066 | A Penny-Farthing for My Thoughts | 3 FRI 9:00 AM | Clark 1 | Endangered | APFMT |
| 7185 | Vacant Streets | 4 SAT 11:00 AM | Fairfield 9 | Rescued! | DFRPG |
| 7145 | The Princess Bride 2: Vizzini’s Revenge | 4 SAT 2:00 PM | Morrow 9 | Rescued! | S7S |
That said, we are looking for folks to step in and take over these games (no obligation to run the same “pitch”, just the same system) so the folks who signed up for them aren’t left stranded without gaming.
Good news is, we already have some takers! Both of Jonathan Hixson’s game slots will be taken over by none other than IPR founder and Mortal Coil author Brennan Taylor. We’re also talking with a couple people about taking on Tom’s S7S game on Saturday.
That said, we do need some replacement GM talent for Tom’s games! The two Dresden Files games (2pm Thursday, 2pm Friday, both definitely sold out) are crucial, but we’d also like to get someone in there who can run A Penny For My Thoughts using the Prisoner questionnaire Tom wanted for that one. If you’re interested and available to do this, please let us know so we can get this taken care of! You’ll have our thanks and a PDF of your choice from our catalog if you’re able to step in. 
The one that’s probably in greatest trouble is Friday 2pm. On that day and at that time several of us will be joining up with Chris Hanrahan (of Endgame, That’s How We Roll, and 2d6 Feet in a Random Direction) over at Jeni’s Ice Creams in the North Market. If you’re signed up for that game and it doesn’t end up with a GM, please come on over and join us. If you can show that you were one of the folks signed up for that game, we’ll buy you a scoop.
If I were heading to Origins, I’d be more than happy to offer my services. But seeing that I am not, due to schedule conflicts (gosh darn summer criminology classes!), I can only hope you find someone else who can participate.
Fred,
If you still need more GM’s, I can do the Friday at 2 pm if you let me know soon so I ask for the day off.
I don’t have a lot of experience with the Dresden game, having only got my group through city/character creation and one intro scenario (I do have the .pdf’s).
On the other hand, I have been DMing/Gming for about 25 years (mostly DND, but with some Top Secret, Gamma World, etc.).
I think it would be really cool to run the game.

@Randy, we totally still need help. If you’re up for doing that slot, please email me (use the “contact” link at the top of the page) and I’ll get you hooked up with the right people.
Randy ran a fantastic Dresden game at the Friday 2pm slot. I was particularly impressed with his ability to quickly switch between character voices (the leprechaun, the old lady, etc.), and his ability to quickly teach the system. Thanks again, Randy!
@Casey McGirt, glad to hear that. He really bailed us out.
@Casey McGirt
Casey,
Glad you enjoyed it — I had fun and learned a lot from everyone at the table.
I watched a couple of other folks run games after mine and picked up a number of things that will improve how we play in my group.
Fred — thanks for letting me pinch hit — it was a great experience.
