    Hey guys,
    Putting some feelers out there. I happened to run into Margaret Weis at Salt Lake Comic Con and bought the Firefly rules. Anyone interested in giving it a go (will be a few weeks, thinking Sunday).

    Also, just to rub it in, I have a 34x24 signed by Larry Elmore "Dragons of Norrath" I bought at the Con. He, Margaret, and Tracy and Laura Hickman were sharing a booth. It bankrupt me 8) But I have some good autographs!

    Firefly's system is actually quite basic.

    You have an attribute die (d6, d8, or d10)
    You have a skill die (d4 - d12)
    Sometimes you get another die for specialization or character reasons.

    You roll all the dice, keep the top 2. I haven't read much further than that yet 8)

    Tracy and Laura are great fun. I have run across them at several conventions now 8)

    I'm, as the kids say, hella jelly right now. My wife and I were planning on going to comicon in SLC, but it happened to be the same day that Oddball fest was in Utah.

    I just can't pass up a chance to laugh my ass off, and see some of my favorite comedians, for five hours straight.

    Still, I would've loved to meet Weis and the Hickmans in person.

    Now, the downside of all this Comic Con stuff. I have about another 8 blogs to write and am still trying to catch up on sleep 8)

    At this point I have neither the Drop Box set up nor any digital form of the rules.

    How many do we have that want to play? Again, just judging interest at this point. I have already been talked into running a local game every other week.

    I'd be happy to join, but Sundays are... Sunday, Tuesdays might be more practical for me. Seeing as how the MW RPG has foundered.

    I might be interested in this too. It would just depend on what day and if I can get a copy of the rules.

    It looks like we are leaning to Tuesday nights. Thinking 830 eastern.

    How does this sound?

    Unfortunately, we can't really do any earlier or we will have a bunch of players not home from work yet 8(

    Sunday was a bust for various reasons.

    Sorry Bunny.

    Just a quick headsup.

    Gaming should be good for today, I haven't heard of anyone needing to cancel. That said, there is a possibility i will be running a touch late. I have to get a few things done after the wife gets off work and it will be cutting it close.
