I think it would be great if one or more people from this community signed up to run Blades in the Dark. There are some things that could make this easier.
* A dozen pre-fab characters, maybe with a blurb and a quickie portrait.
* A single page rules summary with enough player-facing information for a new player. An additional page explaining the gear and actions. An additional page with down time actions (just in case.)
Would that level of shared detail be okay with John Harper?
Anyway, I think it would be great if there was a showing of multiple GMs of this game at this online con.

SO FAR WE HAVE:
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::THURSDAY 30th::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Anxious P.
The Haughty & Persnickety Hoggsnorgles (LotFP as Base System)
2100GMT (4:00 PM CST)
5-6 Players (preferable, at most)
Sandbox type Adventure centered around the recent presence of Noble Giant Families and the issues that they now present to society. The world-vibe is comparable to the LotFP publication “The Magnificent Joop Van Ooms” and I have magic-user character builds associated with the Fine Arts/Academia, as if they were schools of magic, if anyone is interested.
The adventure will be investigatory in nature with a high chance of horrible confrontations occurring. But the Academy/University will pay up, for sure. Follow me for blogposts regarding the aforementioned class variant builds.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::FRIDAY 31st::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::SATURDAY 1st::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Peter Robbins
Adventurer Conquer King System
0100GMT (Fri July 31st 9PM EDT)
2-5 Players
The gates of Dwimmermount have opened. After years of rumors, it is time to discover the secrets of this vast mountain fortress for yourself…
1st Level new ACKS player characters only please. I can provide pre-mades as needed. It’s ok if you have perused the dungeon before. I will be throwing in some of my own twists and additions.

The Blown Torch (Sword & Backpack)
1900 GMT (2pm CST)
3 to 6 players for 3 to 4 hours of gaming.
The Great Lighthouse on Lantern Island has gone cold and can not be lighted again. Ships are perched wreckedly along the rocky coast, and the locals fear that if the Lantern is not relit soon then all trade and contact with the outside world will end.
Sword & Backpack is an oddball roleplaying game in that there are not a whole lot of rules, and everything can sort of seem arbitrary; I am going to be making a few advanced changes to the rules to keep things transparent and fun. For instance, I’ll be using Dunkey Halton’s Adventurer Point system in some places. This is going to be a total babe of a dungeon crawl with loot and tom foolery just thrown about the place.
