What should I run at Underground Con?

I am going to register for Underground Con and would like to volunteer to run a game or two.

I have a few ideas for games I would like to run but I am not set on anything. I put a poll on the righthand side so that everyone can let me know what you think I should run. Feel free to vote even if you aren't going to go to the con. If you pick "Other" leave a comment below to tell me your idea.

EDIT: Oops, one idea I forgot to add was to run Keep on the Borderlands using 4E.

Underground Con

I just found out about this.

CALGARY'S PREMIER GRASSROOTS HOBBY GAMING CONVENTION

Underground Con exists to ignite a passion for playing games–old and new, well and lesser known, and to encourage new gaming experiences.

Ever heard of us? Well, now you have! We want to bring together the many facets of Calgary gamer all under one roof. There’s a void in spring time gaming in Calgary, and we want to fill it! Several rpgs and board games are being highlighted–Savage Worlds, 3.5 Dungeons and Dragons. Shadowrun, Eclipse Phase, Gurps, Smallville RPG, Battlestar Galactica the board game, Arkham Horror, Castle Ravenloft the board game, Agricola, Settlers of Catan, and many many more!

I think I might sign up to run something.

Red Box Calgary

I have been ridiculously busy with work the last while, however, I have recently been in contact with K-Slacker from Tempora Mutantur and Paladin from A Paladin in Citadel about scheduling an old school game. K-Slacker suggested that each of us run a one-shot for fun and then we can decide where to go to from there.

We are using the forums over at Red Box Calgary to discuss and schedule something and also to hopefully get some more interest.

Taking Old School to the Calgary D&D Meetup Group

I have been to the Calgary D&D Meetup Group maybe ten times. I always had a good time even though most of the participants are interested in 3rd edition. I played and ran some 4th edition games and always found everyone to be very polite.

I have tried a couple of times to start an old school game at the meetups but to to start a game you must:
1. Consult with the Organizer who retains the right to approve or deny any requests;
2. Post the game on the message board to try to drum up interest; and
3. Receive feedback of interest from enough people to fill the table.

My experience has been that the Organizer is more than happy to have someone propose an old school game. However, I have never received the required interest to get a game started. Which led me to try Red Box Calgary. However, I still have a desire to try to get an old school game at the meetup. I would love to try to expose that group to the benefits of old school play.

So I have decided to try some undercover recruiting. If you are in the Calgary area and would be interested in playing in an old school game (B/X, OD&D, 1E - likely by way of LL and the AEC, etc) at the Calgary D&D Meetups, please get in touch with me - either in the comments below or through my email address on the side.

If I can get enough interest outside the meetup group, we will then have everyone join the group. I will then propose a new old school game to the organizer when I know I have enough interest "in the bag" so to speak.
