coyotezeye — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 09:40:11 -0400

Hey guys -

Stumbled across your site today. Happened to see you were looking for a LAN party. I also saw that one of your members is in Albany. So I figured I would let you know about my group's LAN Party.

Our last event, this past April, brought in 50 gamers. We are hoping to get 65 for this one. We already have 2 sponsors on board (Red Bull & eDimensional). With more requests still pending.

Here's the info (so far)

DDR pads/games/tournament questions

Jayden Korebreaker — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 10:09:26 -0400

Alright, I don't see anything giving up-to-date detail on it, so here we go! What type of dance games will be played? Strictly DDR? If DDR, Supernova 1/2, Extreme 1/2, etc? I'm hoping there will be Stepmania, or at the very least In The Groove/Mungyodance. Also out of curiousity, what types of pads will be available for play? Trash-bag pads taped to wood? Foam pads? Metal pads? Finally, have tournament ground rules been established yet? Are we going with the traditional "One person picks song, other picks mods" deal?

Any answers would be great, as my legs are itching to go but I am drawing a blank as far as what the dance gaming at the game arena will entail. Pun not intended.

VG Room Volunteers needed

Pathia — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 16:30:09 -0400

Hey folks,

Due to situations out of anyone's control, we're down a few staffers this year. I will do my best to keep the room open as much as possible, but I'm only one person. If any of you would be willing to assist me with keeping it open (and setup/breakdown too!), I would be extremely grateful. You can contact me ahead of time if you wish, but I'll also be putting up a contact/signup sheet in the room itself.

WoW TCG - team raids, anyone?

red leader — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 14:03:44 -0400

I play the World of Warcraft card game - it's pretty fun, if you've never played. It's like a "fixed" version of Magic, a bit less complicated. People can team up (teams of 3-5) to play against large raid bosses (Onyxia, Molten Core, Magnetherion). If anyone's up for it, just keep an eye out for Red Leader - i'll have a DS and some badges with Red Pandas on it

I'd like to get a raid going anyway, they're pretty fun - so if you've got a raid deck, bring it or tune it up!

Board Games!

Dogai — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 19:55:17 -0400

I am going to try to bring Settlers of Catan, Betrayal at House on the Hill and Bang! Possibly Zombie FLuxx as well.

Has anybody played Betrayal, Settlers or Bang?

Rage CCG demos and open play

fenrislorsrai — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 01:00:49 -0400

I'll be offering Rage demos twice. You don't have to attend both!

You can come in a little late or leave early. I'll likely run multiple games in the alloted time.

RAGE CCG DEMO & OPEN PLAY (offered twice)

Take control of a pack of Garou, savage werewolves, as they battle the forces of the Wyrm in defense of Mother Earth, Gaia.

Call upon ancient spirit pacts, mystical abilities, and the tools of the modern world to destroy the forces of corruption that threaton to plunge the world into eternal darkness and decay.

But not every Garou agrees how best to save Gaia. Is is best done through force? Through renewing the traditions and spirit pacts of old? Through mystical means? Or should the Garou just adapt to the new age and help Gaia change to fit into the new world?

Orim and his games

OrimCalix — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 21:21:50 -0400

Tis only ten days till AC. Which gives about ten days for this wolf to pick which games to bring to AC. Seeing how I suck when it comes to picking, I will leave it up to votes Here is the list, the top three from these nine I will bring. And no double voting.

Zombies!!! (2-6 players, about an hour to play)
Munchkin (3-6 players, about an hour to play)
Lunch Money (3-6 players, about an hour)
Hex Hex (3-6 players, about 30 mins to play)
Killer Bunnies [Blue starter] (2-8 players, about 1-2 hours to play)
Gloom (2-4 players, about 30 mins to play)
The Red Dragon Inn (2-4 players, about an hour to play)
Memoir '44 (2 player or Team Play], about an hour to play)
World of WarCraft The Board Game (2-6 players, about 2-3 hours to play)

Furry Star Wars RPG

Gabriel_fawkes — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 18:38:30 -0400

I will be running a Furry Star wars d20 campgine on Saturday, I'll have Five characters to play as.

The Reaper's Game (The World Ends With You)

Conductor — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 01:34:28 -0400

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

My compatriots and I will be running the Reaper's Game at this year's Anthrocon. Our only problem? A sorrowful lack of Players.

This is, of course, where you come in. If you interested in playing in the Reaper's Game, please let us know at or . We will require cell numbers capable of text messaging, as missions will be given through text messages. If you are concerned about privacy of your phone number, we suggest the use of a prepaid phone with 30-60 minutes.

We recognize that your time at the convention is important, and have streamlined the time spent playing to approximately an 60-120 minutes per day, for three days. Of course should one team complete the mission, all players will pass to the next day, meaning that if you are willing to trust in your fellow Players' skill, you can certainly pass to Day Three without incident. Of course, should nobody pass, all Players will be erased.

Plain old board and card games

Treesong — Sat, 14 Jun 2008 23:10:51 -0400

I'll bring Battle Line, Bohnanza, Coloretto, Falling, Get the Goods, Girl Genius: the Works, Mü, Ricochet Robot, Set, Twitch, and Xactika, in hopes that someone will be interested. None particularly furry, though Mü has very attractive animal-themed suits.

Ironclaw?

Makojin — Sun, 08 Jun 2008 18:03:57 -0400

I'm wondering if anyone would be interested in a quickie Ironclaw campaign with premade characters. I saw it done at MFF a couple of times, but I know the GM that was there will be busy at another convention that weekend. I'm trying to build a campaign based on the convention's theme, so expect some jungle trekking.

Fursuit Guitar Hero?

Duskwuffie — Sun, 08 Jun 2008 14:00:23 -0400

Yes, the game is getting dated, but I would still love to see some fursuiters playing Guitar Hero! I'd love to participate myself!

I may bring the necessities if possible

Any thoughts?

-Dusky!

DDR (Stepmania)

Kewne — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 21:05:28 -0400

Hello,

I was wondering. I will be bringing my notebook to the convention, which has Stepmania 3.9 (A DDR program), and I also have an S-Video out cable for it that hooks up to a Television (via RCA). I was curious if I brought these two items, plus a PSX/USB converter (that ignores Joy Axis to recognize Left/Right and Up/Down combos) if I could hook it up for a bit at the gaming room and borrow someone's pads (I'll bring my own plastic Topway ones if I have to) and play DDR on my Stepmania program?

Dragonstorm?

Delphi_Vinn — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 14:54:51 -0400

Anyone interested in creating a story arc for the convention? It seems I'm only ever able to find people that play that game here or at MFF.

On a related note, will the creaters be here this year?

Final Fantasy XI

Adrian Folf — Tue, 27 May 2008 22:50:37 -0400

Hey all you furs I figured I would ask this question. Who all plays Final fantasy 11. If so what servers? I would like to get a furry linkshell going on Bahamut and Valefor servers YAY for furry domantion

DS

Artiamus — Sun, 25 May 2008 00:22:57 -0400

You going to have one? You going to bring it? If you answered 'yes' to both these questions, then what games will you be bringing? I'd like to get a list going now while we have the time, perhaps arrange some sort of meet-up for a gaming tourney or something in the zoo. Last year we had enough people with DS(s) to fill up one room in PictoChat(16 people) and half fill another. I think on the last day we had three rooms going possibly. Don't know, was too busy packing at the time.

I will start this list, here are my games!

Advanced Wars: Dual Strike
Pokemon: Pearl
Final Fantasy III
Mario Kart
Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin
New Super Mario Bros
Super Mario Bros 64 DS

AC 08 MTG? Magic the gathering.

TheWolfIsSilver — Wed, 21 May 2008 22:05:53 -0400

Anyone else play? I figured i would haul a deck or two a long if there was a chance of some play.

I know theres another thread asking this, but that was from a year ago for AC 07

So, just leave a reply, Furry MTG players unite!

Earth Eternal

Killjoy — Sat, 17 May 2008 18:06:11 -0400

Has any one heard of Earth Eternal? I did a search a didn't see it posted in the forums so if it is mentioned some where, forgive me for reposting it.
Check it out at: http://www.eartheternal.com/
Basicly its a furry version of WoW. Still in the works but they are looking for beta testers.

Return of Live Action Roleplaying Chess interest

ArdySqrrl — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 22:15:36 -0400

I already submitted this to the suggest-a-panel thingie, is there any way to confirm that the proper people have gotten it? There was no confirmation of any kind... oh well.

ANYWAY. After premiering at last years AC and polished at FC, I'm ready to run the third incarnation of LIVE ACTION ROLEPLAYING CHESS. This has been a big hit every time I've run it (all two!)

If you weren't lucky enough to play or watch this game at another convention, it's a fursuit-friendly 32-player game played on an appropriately sized chess board. Each piece moves as it normally does, and gets special ability cards appropriate to its class.

a few pictures from last year, just before the blood bath starts >:3

Blue Planet, To the Bottom of the Seas

corax — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 21:40:05 -0400

BorrRRrrring. Your job in borrring. Interspersed with bouts of hard work. At least the pay’s decent.
Oh yes. Your job. You work on a bethnic mass transport. Basically an old deep water freighter sub. You don’t hall Long-John or anything valuable. But large mass quantities of gear and supplies to deep submergence research bases, Long-John mines and other very deep outposts and towns on Poseidon. Its nearly a year to make the circuit, starting at Daffid station. The floating city is the only place the Ship can dock near the surface.

R-TYPE COMMAND

Drakkon — Sat, 12 Apr 2008 10:27:36 -0400

Turn-based tactics. AD-hoc only (sadly). So is anyone else getting this baby and going to have their PSP there? Well, of course you're going to have your PSP there, so who wants to take on the Bydo Empire?

Monster Hunter Freedom 2

Kaseiko_Kitsune — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 15:06:08 -0400

does anybody else have monster hunter freedom 2? if so then when i come in 09 we should do a hard mission together. my brother shall play too! i am having trouble beating the khezu mission.

LAN party???? o.O

Devil — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 05:19:22 -0400

if anyone is interested in a LAN party let me know! If there's enough interest let's set something up ^ ^

AC 08 40k Combat Patrols

NallTWD — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 08:49:02 -0500

OK, so there have been so many people responding to me via last year's post, AIM, etc that I've decided to make this announcement a bit early. Yes, I do plan on running this and yes, I will be talking with the staff in the next few weeks to try and get the game room reserved for a bit to do this proper. Last year it was so hard finding each other we barely got to play, and when we did, it was fun games.

Ninja Burger and other games of the like

Jetta Bentham — Sun, 16 Mar 2008 20:41:37 -0400

I will once again be bringing Ninja Burger, Fluxx and Cannibal Pygmies in the Jungle of Doom, and any other game I might pick up along the way! Let me know if you want to play

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Aelius — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 12:44:36 -0400

I'm surprised no one's mentioned this yet, heh.
Smash Bros. Melee has been a popular game in past conventions, and I'm sure Brawl will be no different. Are there plans for a tourney, or at the very least, some four-way brawls open?

E-mail for gaming events?

NallTWD — Thu, 13 Mar 2008 08:50:50 -0400

OK, so I tried the programming e-mail and found out it didn't work... (And yes, I removed the (at) and replaced it with @!)

Who do I hit up for getting a gaming event scheduled?

2D Fighters!

Kelo — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 22:00:32 -0500

I think I saw a thread about this around here somewhere but it must be long gone and dead. I am wondering who out there may be bringing or be interested in some good old competition style 2D Fighters. Guilty Gear XX, Marvel vs Capcom 2, King of Fighters SVC, and the list goes on.

I have been out of touch with what is new in the fighter world but I do remember seeing that capcom is cutting away from 2D permanently which totally sucks. I am ok on the Soul Calibur series and Tekken Tag, but thats about it for me when it comes to 3D fighters.

Play against a Guitar Hero developer at AC

MooglyGuy — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 22:06:32 -0500

I'm lucky enough to be on the dev team for the Wii SKU of Guitar Hero: Aerosmith. I don't know the current street date (and I couldn't tell you guys if I did), but if it happens to come out before AC, you're all welcome to try your hand at beating me.

Even if it isn't out by then, you'll probably be able to find me chilling around any public console with Guitar Hero 3 in it.

Cheers!

Mech Tournaments and Power Stone 2

Adrian Folf — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 21:32:09 -0500

Hey all you fun loving furs I'm planing on having some friendly Mech Tournaments the games being Armored Core Last Raven on the PS2 and Mech Warrior 1 or 2 on Xbox. I also have plans on conducting a power stone 2 tournament on dreamcast
