Hello Everyone!  I am Rex, started playing Hyperborea with 2e in a pbp game on the unseenservant.us.  It has since transitioned to 3e and is still going.  Backed 3e and started playing with my in person group.  I have been lurking here for a while but joined to post on the reference sheets thread, but will probably post on occasion now that I have an account.

REX! 

Welcome sir! 

(I’ve heard that game on the US is pretty awesome.) 

I think you’re gonna feel right at home around here, my friend. 

Enjoy!

These are fun to read!

100 sessions is quite impressive!

Had a great time, and it was good to see you, Big Shiny! Where was Mr Manowar! I looked far and wide, but my brother in metal was not to be found...

Ah, yes. Mr. Murder, Death, Kill (or something like that) was unable to make the trek so far south this season. I did hear murmurings of a possible trip to Texas one of these years, though. So, you never know. 

It was great to chat with you a few times again sir! We rarely get to play in your GC games, but hopefully we can manage to sneak into another at a different venue again someday. 

Always great to hang out with all our Hyperborea brothers and sisters at these events! Can’t wait for the next one!

The wife and I will be there, ready for whatever mischief presents itself. 

Looking forward to finally seeing everyone again! 

Here is the Hyperborea game I’m running on Saturday:  https://tabletop.events/conventions/gary-con-xiv/schedule/615

Is it too early to start talking about this one?

Anyone else attending in person?

What are we running this year?

We had a blast as well!

Got to chat with Jeff a couple times and drank way too much for 4 straight days. 

We didn’t get to see or hang with everyone we wanted, but our games were great and I had 2 good groups of players in mine. 

There is never enough time to get to do everything you want to do at these things.

I am not, but I wish I were. 

Looks like some really good games on that list. 

And several familiar names as well.

This sounds awesome! I love Metal Church (the band and especially that self-titled album). I love 3D terrain. I am definitely in for this event. I will wear my metal patch vest and participate joyfully with all the inside jokes and bad puns.

By the way I think this is my first post on here. I have not played HYPERBOREA yet and I am looking forward to the upcoming 3e Kickstarter.

Just curious. Were you able to get a seat?

Nope, I'm in central Ohio. I work in a hospital. This last year has the been the worst. I'm taking a few weeks off in October and my wife and I are going to hit the road. Part of our trip will be hitting 3 RPG conventions that month. I've been looking forward to a chance to come to Gamehole. 

Awesome! 

The wife and I try to make all the local conventions and GHC is by far the best run convention we attend. I think most of us cant wait to get back into playing around the table safely again. 

If you have any questions about the game or the con, just ask.

Ahh, I must have missed the post where you described the adventure! Sounds great, and I'm a fan of Metal Church, too. My favorite album is Blessing in Disguise, but the self-titled album is a close second. Cheers!

I think Blessing in Disguise was a masterpiece and by far their best album. 

But I like the first two a lot as well, and the fourth one for that matter. 

This game will be about classic metal music in general, not just about Metal Church. But I found that to be a fitting title.

Well, thanks for making me your first,  and welcome to the board, Nick! 

After the long silence, I was starting to think this game sounded pretty terrible. 

I appreciate your feedback, and dig the enthusiasm. Are you near the Madison area?

Metal Church

From the depths of Underborea, rumors proliferate of an ancient temple encased in a strange and mystical black steel. Enduring abundant hardships, your motley band of cutthroat explorers has traversed the immeasurable darkness to locate this unholy edifice and now stand before its immense fortifications reflecting in your dim torchlight. Will any survive to discover the secrets concealed inside the Metal Church?

This game will be an old-school dungeon crawl played with minis on a multi-level 3D DF set-up, complete with metal themed tricks, traps, monsters, and spewing over with Classic Heavy Metal references. Designed for 5-8 characters, levels 4th through 7th (head banging pregens provided), this adventure is sure to scratch the itch of any role-playing metalheads out there. No hairspray posers allowed! (Prior knowledge of classic Metal music is not actually required to play, but it will help.)

Reading through this reminds me of how great it is that we can all sit around a table again to play our favorite games. 

And for those of you who don’t know Mr. M, it turns out that he isn’t just a great story teller, he’s actually a really nice human being as well. 

At our first in-person session after over a year away from the game, our gracious host and DM honored each of us with an icy gift. A precious trinket from the depths of Xathoqqua’s own purse. 

Thanks again Cory! You rock, sir!!!

Nothing submitted yet, but I am currently thinking about running one session of AS&SH. (or will it be simply H by that time?) 

Looking forward to seeing you guys, and all our convention friends again!!!

Gee thanks, Ron! 

This is the place all the heavy hitters hang out, you know. 

Here is a link to the recruitment thread if anyone wants to give some feedback.
