After taking a nap early in the evening, walking Zorro through his favorite texture of fresh powdery snow and then linking up the new Sons of Kryos episode, I’m still pretty much awake.
So I pre-registered for my Dreamation games.
Now I cannot wait.
I will get in on Friday night. So I registered for the midnight game:
Friday, 12:00AM – 4:00AM
Escape or Die! Run by Fred Hicks: Want to start a game at midnight but not play until four? Then come join us as we try to Escape or Die! – a fantastically lethal real-time roleplaying game where you can bail as soon as your eyelids start to droop. Work with everyone at the table to create a predicament in the spirit of Aliens, Night of the Living Dead, or The Mummy and try to survive!
Saturday, 9:00AM – 1:00PM
With Great Power… Monster Squad: The police swarmed in and tackled the 9 foot tall, scale-covered thing. Until it was too late, they never realized that he was the hero! Come join The Monster Squad!
Saturday 2-6
1001 Nights. Run by Meguey Baker: In the palace of the Sultan are many rooms. In these rooms are many people, and the people have many stories. Most intriguingly for our tale, these people cannot leave these rooms. The ornately carved walls surrounding the fragrant pools and exotic gardens are high; the lace-like doors are webs of iron; the delicately cool tones and publicly refined manners raise the significance of an arched brow by feverish degrees. This ‘place apart’ holds the Sultan’s peace, for to disturb it would be foolish indeed. But without the ability to laugh or cry or shout, the prisoners of the court have found other means to pursue their heart’s desires. In their stories are found their daily pains, frustrations, hopes, and desires, and through the stories these things might be realized or relieved.
Saturday, 8-Midnight
Shock: run by Joshua A.C. Newman: Create a world and its futuristic challenges in the tradition of Ursula LeGuin, Philip K. Dick, and Bruce Sterling. Span millennia or moments, explore alien worlds and the human soul, and find out what happens to the characters and their world as the shockwave of the future crashes into them. A highly-structured collaborative speculative fiction creation system.
I left the Saturday midnight to four slot open for interviewing, kibbitzing and all-out collapsing.
Sunday I’ll also leave open for interviewing before the Indie Round Table at 1PM but we’ll see. There were some Sunday morning games that looked tasty.
There is too damned much. Criminal Element with Michael, Project Bearclaw with Jason and Kevin, Burning Wheel with Luke, Jeepform, improv with Remi, seeing what Jeff’s done with Kingdom of Nothing since Gen Con’s ashcan, Ryan’s running Penny, Bill White’s Rex Rich and the Warlord of Mars…I didn’t know where to begin. If we doubled the amount of time I had, I might get in half of the games I’d like to play.
I cannot wait.

I hear you on all counts. I just sent off my registration email. Doesn’t look like we’ll have any crossover unless you play in one of the APFMT sessions I’m facilitating.

Doesn’t look like it.
Where do you live, Ryan?

How did you pre-register?
Pre-Reg
First you pre-reg by giving them them moneys.
Then you e-mail them (d2008@dexposure.com) the number codes for the games you want to play.
I used the Fair Games IGE list and the Dreamation 2008 Master List together to find the games I wanted.

All of these but the roundtable and my games are awaiting final approval.
Who are you going to talk to for II?
I want to interview Luke & Jared on Donut, Rob & Fred on Dresden or SOTC, maybe Jeff on Giants depending on where he is on that, maybe pick up some publishing stuff with Emily on Sign In Stranger (though her episode may be due out on that weekend). That’s off the top of my head.
We’ll have Chad Underkoffler with us as well, gods willing, so you might be able to do a threefer.
That would be very cool and interesting and hopefully not 4 hours long.
Oh! I’m such a bad person! I forgot that I very very badly want to interview Joshua on Beowulf (or whatever he prefers).
