Longcon Preparation

Hey folks!

I have a convention next weekend, and we are preparing to run a 6-session longcon of Nightwitches, with a new GM for each duty station. In order to help this out, I was going to prepare a list of half-generated NPCs that each of the MCs could build on. Does anyone have some existing NPC lists that we could borrow to assemble ours? Just a few names, adjectives, and distinctions would be fantastic.

I will share what I have when my own list is prepared, along with any feedback we receive from the longcon. We are considering having each group read out the list of fallen nightwitches so far in the longcon, at the beginning of each session to make it feel more weighty.

What do you do when your airwomen are mostly out of commission? The book says play will naturally gravitate towards the base, but so many of the moves seem predicated on the 24-hour cycle that I’m wondering quite how it will work if there’s no mission coming up.

Do you continue to play the cycle but without the missions, or just cover a few highlights from each day until they’re healed up? What do you do if there’s one odd woman out who isn’t injured? Any tips for how to make sessions sing during this period?

I got the OK to showcase indi/story games at our next TempleCon.

I got the OK to showcase indi/story games at our next TempleCon. I am very excited, but also sober to the fact that this going to be A LOT of work. I plan on using the Games On Demand model: not only in format, but most importantly in it’s ethos of openness, inclusion, collaboration and welcoming.

I’m exhilarated that both I and most important Templecon are fully committed to making this be the best it can be.

More to come.

A rules/fiction question. I’ll be starting a Night Witches game tomorrow, with five players. If I put all the PCs in one three-plane section, every aircraft will have at least one PC in it. Given that some of the moves are to destroy or down other aircraft in the section, the PCs are going to be taking a lot of damage from each other.

Would the game work better if I split the PCs into two sections?
