ACNW, Part 2
Well, I've put up the AmberQuest (Amber done with HeroQuest) game. I've got to do 2-3 pages of rules adaptations for it, but they'll be fun. I'm really looking forward to character sheets with things like "Grayswandir 5w3", "Army of Dogmen 10w", "Pattern 3w7" and "Warfare 8w5". I'm thinking of using Endurance Points much like Hero Points are used in the standard game -- except that certain actions like Hellriding automatically cost Endurance Points.

I chose to go with a throne war because I think that will spotlight the system best in a 5-hour slot.

It sounds like there's a big turnout this year. I wonder how big? IIRC, the biggest ACNW has been while I've been going is about 110, and the smallest is mid-80s. I've seen some buzz online about ACNW this past year, and I'm wondering how much of an affect it has had.

Jeremy Z ([info]cochese) says there are currently 101 people signed up, with half running games, and 18 games still needed. Last year I think there were 89 people, though I don't know where I'm getting that number...

It's definitely the biggest we had in a while. This is the first time I recalled it being over a hundred, but I wasn't as involved before either. I didn't know about the 110 one. Where's the buzz coming from?

I don't recall that there was one as big as 110, but I'm sure we've been over 100 before, and I didn't recall how much over 100.

As for the buzz, I've seen previous mentions on The Place That Shall Not Be Named (for fear of flame war) and more current mentions in a few other places -- [info]jhkimrpg and some others that don't spring immediately to mind.

The Place That Shall Not Be Named?

Are we talking Amber-related Unnamable? Or Indy-game Unnamable? There are so many unhallowed gaming places on the Internet, but those are the top two that come to mind. =)

I didn't know about the Amber related Unnamable. I was referring to the other one.

I'd be interested in playing this. I've never played HeroQuest, and I'd like to try out the system.
