Thinking of Origins this Year

I am planning to run these events at Origins this June.

Wednesday, 1pm
Title: "Nixon World"
Description: August 6, 1979. Commander-in-Chief Nixon is negotiating with Mao Zhedong for the unification of the Korean peninsula. Chancellor Agnew has authorized the use of Emergency Powers to quell anti-Caribbean war protests in LA, NYC, and most of Delaware. The Presidential Legal Militia (the Plumbers) are investigating threats on the Chinese ambassador's life by forces sympathetic to Mekon (The South Indochina Republic).
Guess where the dimension-traveling crew of the Albatross lands this morning.
Event Type: RPG
Game System: Wobble
Maximum Players: 6 

Wednesday, 6pm
Title: "The Dig"
Description: The town of Grover's Bend has been abandoned for nearly a century. Come be a part of the archaeological team that wants to find out what happened to the place. Does it have anything to do with the witch trials that took place there in 1790?
Event Type: RPG
Game System: Crawlspace
Maximum Players: 6

Thursday, 11am
Title: "Vacuum"
Description: The largest alien vessel that you've ever seen lies dead in the water, so to speak, just past the orbit of Neptune. This is the opportunity of a life time. The problem is, your ship was hit by the same electromagnetic pulse as well. You are spinning in the void as well. Whoever recovers first could very well win the second Human-Others War before it even begins.
Part Two of "the Goldfish Incident" scenario from last year.
Event Type: RPG
Game System: Spacers
Maximum Players: 6 

Thursday, 6pm
Title: "Flotsam Bay"
Description: Like the odd collection of residents, some of the strangest things float up on the shores of this small seaside town. One of those things could prove to be the end of the place.
Event Type: RPG
Game System: Crawlspace
Maximum Players: 6

Friday, 2pm
Title: "Robot Jazz"
Description: Between the Teapot Despot and the scavenging mutants, being a robot in the post-apocalyptic world is a hard thing to be. And then there are those Soapy humans that you are programmed to serve. Will you ever get out of Junk City intact?
Event Type: RPG
Game System: Glow
Maximum Players: 6

Come and get your Glow on

Friday, 10pm
Title: "Detroit Death Metal: Audition Apocalypse"
Description: The iconic metal band DDM needs a new bass-player. More than a few folks are willing to sell their souls to grab the gig. What happens, though, with all those demons being summoned in one old theater hall?
Event Type: RPG
Game System: Crawlspace
Maximum Players: 6

I am getting hyped up about a gaming event that starts on a Wednesday. I am looking forward to doing games from Wednesday afternoon until to Saturday AM, getting my Full-Frontal Laggy on, so to speak. In my experience though Origins has been a disappointing convention for attendance for indy games that don't have "Cthulhu" and old TV shows in the title, but hopefully I will be able to run four out of the six events offered up.
