FREEMARKET

Where do I find Freemarket?

[Leftahead]

There's a good chance I will run 2 of the following:

Apocalypse World, Monsterhearts, Mouse Guard, Marvel, Ashen Stars or Fiasco.

This list looks suspiciously like my own.

FREEMARKET

Where do I find Freemarket?

They've got it in stock at the Strat.

Would anyone be interested in a Changeling one shot? I fell madly and irrevocably in love with a Changeling MUSH I used to be on, and would love to share that love.

FREEMARKET

They've got it in stock at the Strat.

But it aint an impulse buy. It's expensive (100 dollars) but a quality piece of gaming.

Alright then: Run something you usually don't do, but have always wanted to try. Try something that will challenge you a bit, or is of an unusual genre for you.

Interesting advice, since my approach to con games has usually been the opposite. I try to reserve experimentation and play-testing for casual play with established groups. But when I'm offering an event to paying customers, I feel obligated to stick with stuff I'm confident I can run correctly and havo prior experience with.

I am planning to run Aventuras en la Marca del Este. If the organizers allow, I would actually like to run it in Spanish!

If anyone would like the lend me freemarket, I would run it, but what nascent RPGer has 100 bucks to drop on an Indie game that takes place inside one space station? Freemarket reminds me of the car that Homer Simpson designs for the "common man" but costs hundreds of thousands of dollars. There's a serious disconnect.

It's actually only $75 or $80 direct from them, but the Strat buys them for retail and needs to make some kind of markup on them. It's a prestige product, complicated and very well-made with a lot of glossy components, but it's not really that outrageous in gaming terms: a typical GW player spends 2-3 times that putting a single army together, the 3 core D&D books cost $105, and the two Dresden Files core books will run you $90. It's more expensive than the typical done-in-one Indie RPG, but that's sort of the point: it's a high-end collectible prestige game, and that's one of its major appeals: not everyone has it!

(Actually, now that I think of it, Luke might not even have any left, it was a pretty modest print run as I recall. Does anyone know if it's still officially in print?)

[Leftahead]

There's SO MUCH STUFF I want to run. I need to try and get a one-shot Monsterhearts game together, but man, Marvel was a blast to run at PAX. Hrmmm...
