Thanks for the positive comments.
The dossiers were something I thought of last minute. I felt like I was putting them together really last second. The items like the telegrams and newspaper were available free online. There was also a death certificate in one.
I wanted to give the players a chance to piece things together, just like you would in the real world. It actually worked out well. The players all liked it. It also had a description of what they knew, their league background, and the summary play sheet that is available online.
I currently don't have the character sheets available as a template. It was something I whipped up on Microsoft Word.
Ivor – I almost thought I wouldn't have any players. The game was set to start at 11:00 am and by 10:50 I still hadn't seen anyone, I was starting to wonder if everything would be packed up without playing.
Around 10:55 the first player arrived and went to get some coffee. The others arrived shortly thereafter.
It actually speaks to a good point, if signed up for a convention game stop by early to let the GM know you are signed up for the game so they know at least someone is playing.
looks at some new terrain products, which use space age technology!
