Aaagh, it's nine weeks to Conpulsion

Conpulsion. It's nine weeks to it. Aaagh.

So about time to come up with the all-important "hey you, play my adventure" pitch blurbs. They have to be short, pithy, relatively accurate, and for games I'll be able and ideally happy to GM in two months' time.

I only have to come up with one game to GM this year, as one of the events this year is IRN GM, in which you get three GURPS setting books at random on Saturday and have to run an adventure using bits of all three on Sunday. So that's my Doctor Who adventure sorted probably...

So I dunno, Buffy or Adventure! or somethin' on Saturday.

While leaving room to play Gar's Primeval demo hopefully. The Laundry game with Charles Stross there will probably be rather busy.

...Adventureeeeeee!...

...Adveeeeeentuuuuuurreee!...

...you know you wanna...

More constructively...

A couple options for both games:

Buffy: Pink Hats.
PC's are chewy extras who figure out they were meant to die had they not been saved by various White Hats in their back story. Cue comedic attempts at becoming heroes, with lots of blood, gore, comedic misunderstandings and the constant paranoid feeling that they're doomed to be cannon fodder (all White Hat group). Inspired by Guy the Extra from Galaxy Quest.
"Guy, you have a name." "Do I!?! DO I!?!"

Adventure!: Long Time Coming.
2012 is approaching, and the world will change. On New Year's Eve, the secret truth of the world will come out, and there is nothing the Secret Masters can do to stop it; Heroes are *real*. Back in the 1930's, masked mystery men and women fought the good fight against the Illuminati, the Golden Order and the League of Killers, and were defeated by a betrayal of one of their own. But one of the heroes had a secret emergency plan; a filled-to-the-brim document cabinet with incontrovertible evidence named the Prometheus Files, to be released to every single news outlet, media purveyor and journalist in the world, exactly 70 years after his death. That day is coming on fast. January 1st, 2012.
PC's are people who received the files ahead of time to help distribute them, chased by agents of the Illuminati and League of Killers (the Golden Order was wiped out by the former two in the second Gulf War). Pulpy action-adventure in a modern action-movie sensibility, and with a potential world-changer event on the agenda.
