StoryGame Fieldtrip!
Saturday, November 11th, is the 2nd ever JiffyCon, taking place in Greenfield, (Western) Mass. It’s a one-day, low-key indie/story-game focused convention. All of the details and such are here: JiffyCon Website
Myself and Jonathon will be going, at least, as we’re both running games. It’s about a 2 or 2.5-hour drive, so we were thinking that carpooling would be very good! But we need to get a headcount of committed people so we can make actual plans, like where we’ll meet, how many cars, and so forth. Also, as far as I know there is crash space available for the night there, which I am semi-planning on using myself.
So, I would like to have a list of people who are joining us finalized by, say, Thursday of next week (the 9th). Email me at n-dot-d-dot-paoletta-at-gmail-dot-com to reserve your spot, and/or with questions. I’ll send out a reminder or two over the next week, as well.

Other Cool Halloween Happenings
Bostonfolk may want to check these things out tonight:
(1) TOMES OF TERROR! Classic radio dramas staged and performed live, Foley FX and everything. Three different short shows, including “The Monkey’s Paw”!
Some of us checked this out last night, and it was a lot of fun. They were also vending chocolate “monkey’s paws” outside, which was a bit creepy…
(2) Cruel 2 B Kind, a pervasive interactive game, is running at MIT.
From AvantGame:
MIT is organizing a local game of Cruel 2 B Kind tomorrow (Halloween)
that looks to be great fun. If you don’t have killer Halloween plans
yet, I strongly recommend that you scare folks with your bad-ass
benevolence! There are already 26 teams registered, so it should be
wicked fun.Cruel 2 B Kind Halloween

GET SCARED.
This Wednesday (10/25) at SGBoston, things will take a turn for the spooky. (It’s the Wednesday before Halloween, after all.)
On the mailing list, we’re going to figure out what games will be happening. Possibilities now include urban insomniac fantasy and shack o’ betrayal. Got any other ideas? Post them here or on the list.
Bring yourself, bring friends, or bring candy.

StoryGames Boston Begins
StoryGames Boston is coming to Pandemonium!
Where: Sofas of Mortal peril
When: Every Wednesday night at 7pm
Logo: Best Logo Evar!!eleven1!
Every Wednesday evening, come to Pandemonium Books and meet others interested in roleplaying games and storygames. Find new gamers, talk about the hobby, and then join us for a pickup game – or bring your own. And if you’re new to “storygames”, then we’ll gladly show you what its all about.
Story, people, dice and the comfiest couches ever. What else do you need?
Some of the games we hope to play soon…
* Baron von Munchausen: Portray an adventurous noble, telling fantastical (but entirely true!) tall tales in the style of “Baron Munchausen”.
* Agon: Odysseus. Atalanta. Perseus. You are Greek heroes of legend hoping to best each other with feats of cunning and might, winning great glory for your name. But your dark fate waits just around the corner. What songs will they sing of you?
* Once Upon a Time: The popular story-telling card game about fairy tales. Use your cards to tell your own story, and be the first one to play their Happy Ever After card!
* InSpectres: Things go bump in the night. It’s a good thing the InSpectres are in town! Play out the trials and tribulations of your local franchise of supernatural exterminators.
* 1001 Nights: A game of enticing stories. The Sultan’s courtiers are held captive in his court. Only through the stories they share can they find freedom and achieve what they want.
