Yo dawg. So I heard you like games.

The premise of this game is simple. You're a bunch of people. One of you - the first to sign up - is hosting this thing over an extended weekend, at their house. All the others are invited guests. There are plenty of chips, soft drinks, and, possibly, booze. And - of course - games. Because that's what it's all about. To see who is the bestest gamer around.

The games themselves will be illustrated, and will range from 1 to maximally 8 participants, while the other guests just sort of dick around behind them and wait for their turn. They'll shout over the heads of the gamers, too. Perhaps. And laugh at their failures.

There will be catastrophes. There will be failures. There will perhaps be early returning parents. It's all par for the course in the GAME NIGHT!


Character sheets. I'm accepting at least eight, with preference to those who already had to suffer my glacial update times. I'll be better! I promise!

Name: Kate Bug
Gender: Female
Bio: A racer who like games. One day she thought 'I have so many games, this call for-' then she went and dial some random people, probable her friends, and they all counted to three and shouted 'A games night!'. Then this played. Because what other theme should plays?
Appearance: Blue haired slender woman with grey eyes. Her hairstyle is a pony tail and face frame(?). She wear a green jumper and jeans. Fair skin.
Berserk Buttons: Too many rules
Super Special Secret Gaming Technique: Don't think, feel

[Errol]

I could have cropped that better.

[scapheap]

It lovey. Somehow you got the right amount of 'Hang on a minute, lads, I've got an idea' I was hoping for.

[Harry Baldman]

Here you go.

Spoiler: Character Sheet (click to show/hide)

Name: Percy

Gender: Male

Bio: a low-ranking government operative living in a listening post (gotta monitor communications, you know, otherwise the nation will rebel or something) on the outskirts of town, Percy was quite surprised when his phone rang this evening. The place he lived in didn't even exist, after all. He didn't even know why they gave him a phone, really. Nobody ever calls, anyway. Well, except this one night. So he picked up the phone out of curiosity, only to hear the words "A games night!" shouted at him. Ooh, that's the girl from that house! He even knows where it is! And she's inviting him to a games night. How marvelous. Better get ready, then.

Appearance: A tall, slim black man with a goatee and shoulder-length greasy black hair. Has large brown eyes and a kindly, trustworthy face. Tonight he is wearing a pale orange Hawaiian shirt with white palm trees on it together with black dress pants and shoes. Has a digital watch on his wrist and a rather weird-looking necklace of boar teeth around his neck.

Berserk Buttons: too many questions asked about what he does. He is not his job, damn it!

Super Special Secret Gaming Technique: he knows everyone playing against him as a result of his job. What they do, what they had for lunch, how they liked it and what their mothers have done with their lives. As such, he is good at angering his fellow players and goading them into making mistakes.

[Spaghetti7]

Drawing things? Ooh, this'll be good.

Spoiler: Char (click to show/hide)

Name: Phillip McSteve

Gender: Male

Bio: The neighborhood cheery fat man, Phillip helped with any jobs you could possibly have.

Appearance: An overweight, moderately hairy man with a large neckbeard. His cheeks are constantly red and his little brown eyes seem to delight in anything. The clothes he wears always just about fail to cover his prodtruding belly, and he always wears socks and sandals. Always.

Berserk Buttons: Other people being nice. Phil has to be the nice one.

Super Special Secret Gaming Technique: Lulling others in to a false sense of security.

[Caellath]

Errol, I have to congratulate you for getting so much better at drawing in so little time. You may also die in the next few days.

Pick your coffin.

Just kidding, obviously. Anyway, posting.

Name: Emmanuel Amsel
Gender: Male
Bio: Emm always had a fondness for photography, and since he hit his late teens he has been taking freelancing jobs which require some good photos here and there. He also likes reading and tends to mix things together by buying as many history as photography books and alternating between them. Since a year and a half ago he has started to take mixed martial arts classes after being punched in the face during one of his jobs.
Appearance: Fair skin, average height, short curly black hair, blue eyes. Wearing black jeans, black suede vest over a loose long-sleeved white shirt and black boots. Carries his professional camera with him all the time.
Berserk Buttons: True grognards in rpg games
Super Special Secret Gaming Technique: Ultimate technique of remembering games are games, not gang shootouts. Or he'd be taking pictures.

[Errol]

I think I overdid it on the suave. Still experimenting with the transparency.

[Xantalos]

Hmm. PTW and I might put a sheet later.
Humans only, or are we allowed to go exotic?

[GreatWyrmGold]

Spoiler: Anthony Bowman (click to show/hide)

Gender: Male
Bio: Anthony is a pretty clever law student at the local university. He is bored. He needs a better backstory. This may contribute to his boredom.
Description: This guy reminds you of a raging river. He has hooded eyes the color of dark chocolate. His luxurious, curly, white hair is shoulder-length and is worn in a businesslike style. He is very tall and has a wide-chested build. His skin is tan. He has small ears. His wardrobe is bizarre and strange, with a lot of blue. (Courtesy of Seventh Sanctum.)
Berserk Buttons: Munchkins, Idiots, Stupid Munchkins, Archery, Stupid Archers, Stupid Munchkin Archers, etc
SSSGT: Try to win.

[Greenstarfanatic]

I'm in.

Spoiler: Stuff (click to show/hide)

Name: Aleni Bargo
Gender: Female
Bio: Aleni grew up in a tough situation. With two younger brothers and a mother and father who didn't care what they did, it was hellish. The parents would tell them to play video games and other board games to stop the kids from bothering them. Aleni decided she would try to have fun, and started to cheat. In fact, she did it so well that neither of her brothers ever noticed. Now that her brothers are going to elementary school, and she's found some other hobbies, such as composing her own music and playing it in her band, she's decided to join a gaming group. Anything to get away from her parents.
Appearance: Aleni has purple hair in pigtails going off the sides of her head, several piercings, and always seems to have headphones around her neck and some kind of shirt promoting some kind of band. She likes to wear ripped jeans and some kind of fluorescent high top. She's a pretty average height, but fairly skinny.
Berserk Buttons: People enforcing to rules to death.
Super Special Secret Gaming Technique: It's only cheating if you get caught.

[TopHat]

Ah, I'll give it a go:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Name: John Lintson
Gender: male
Bio: a bright maths student who's just arrived in *insert name of background area here* to start his gap-year holiday when he received a call from someone he'd never heard of asking him to come to a games night at her house, apparently not far away. His first reaction to the request was 'why?' closely followed by 'why not?'. The latter won out, and thus he accepted the invitation.
Appearance: medium-tall, with striking green eyes, a light complexion, and long blonde hair tied in a ponytail. Wearing a white shirt with quite a lot of assorted pens and pencils in its top pocket, a short-sleeved grey pullover, and blueish jeans. Wears glasses
Berserk Buttons: mention of student loans, rising university fees, or extreme examples of logical fallacies.
Super Special Secret Gaming Technique: calculating odds and probabilities to determine the best course of action.

[Errol]

You can go exotic, I'd have my fun with that.

TopHat is definitely in, by the way, but his character will be watched extremely closely, since the GM is an actual math student.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Glad I chose something the GM doesn't know (much?) more than I about...

[Greenstarfanatic]

Oooh, but I know quite a bit about Math AND Law.

Our characters are going to really duke it out, aren't we?
