Two Weeks Away! - More characters up

The game is only two weeks away, and we're very busy getting stuff ready. Some of the character write-ups are in a semi-presentable state right now - if you're eager for yours, you can e-mail us at firefly.boomtown@gmail.com and request yours in advance, though we make no promises about when it might get to you or not. If you haven't completed your registration by paying yet, I'd recommend doing so. Probably the most convenient way is through the PayPal link on the How to Play page.

The final batch of characters up at the the Firefly: Favourite Mistakes Characters page has been added. There are a little under 20 slots left. If we fill up completely, we'll probably still be able to take some people at the door, either filling in for no-shows or playing as "extras" or in more minor roles to whom we don't have to give more complete write-ups. Still, if you know anyone who is interested in playing, I'd get them to contact us ASAP.

New Characters Added

The character list at the the Firefly: Favourite Mistakes Characters page has been updated again with about twenty new characters. Of course, several of those were immediately snatched up by players who had already submitted their requests but couldn't be fitted with characters before due to demand. As of this writing, there are about 20 free characters left - that number might increase depending on some things we're working out, but of course it'll eventually decrease. So if you know anyone who is still sitting on their laurels deciding whether or not they want to play, direct 'em here and get them to pick their characters as soon as possible, while there is still some selection left.

Also, of course, you are encouraged to pay in advance, both to avoid hassle at the door and to make sure to lock in your spot. Game fee for those paying in advance is $15, and instructions on how to get the money to us are on the How to Play page.

Last but not least - are you concerned about missing updates to the webpage? We try not to be consistently e-mailing everyone everyday, and not everyone has Facebook, so I'll now be mirroring all the website newsfeed updates to a topic on the forums. If you want to be notified by e-mail whenever there is an update, create a forum account and then subscribe to the following thread.

Character List Updated

After a long delay, the character list at the Firefly: Favourite Mistakes Characters page has finally been updated. Check there to see what character you've been assigned. There were about half a dozen folks whom we couldn't find assignments for in this initial burst - we got so many requests so fast that some characters got picked as people's top three over and over again. Those people who already entered their requests and couldn't be satisfied will have priority in future assignments, and we'd ask them to send us their next top three picks.

Expect more characters to be added to the list relatively shortly.

Also, we've decided to bump back the deadline for earlybird payment to August 24th, since neither Deb nor I have really been available otherwise. Check out the How to Play page for information on how to pay(as well as information on venue location, dates and times, and all that good stuff).

Character List Posted!

The character list is finally up at the Firefly: Favourite Mistakes Characters page. Take a look, e-mail us your top three picks. My apologies both for the lateness and sloppiness of the list - I didn't quite get things finished before I left for Chicago, and am posting now from a puny netbook that can barely keep the spreadsheet we keep the list in open and remain functioning. Expect some cleanup when I return to Canada.

(p.s. I am in Chicago. Weee!)

Setting and costuming info...

I've posted some basic setting and costuming links up on the forum. Check it out, and feel encouraged to contribute any useful Firefly lore you might have!

No longer accepting requests to reprise or for custom characters

We are now done accepting special character requests and requests to reprise characters from the previous event. Soon we'll have the character list posted, and then you can choose your characters from what is presented there. We'll still accept character suggestions of course, but we make no promise that a) we'll take them(and if they are overly specific, we almost certainly won't) or b) that you'll get to play them - anything after this point will just be posted in the big character list, which will be a combination of first-come, first-served and Storyteller's choice.

Deadline to reprise a character today!

If you are intending on reprising your character from last year's Firefly: Boomtown event, today is the deadline to let us know. Send us an e-mail at firefly.boomtown@gmail.com telling us who you are, what character you played, and what the state of them and their plot was at the end of the game

The same goes for those who have special character requests they'd like to make - email us by the end of the day.

For everyone else, expect to see a character list appear on this site by the end of the month. There should be plenty of characters to choose from so everyone should be able to find something they're happy with, presuming they don't leave chosing until the last minutes, of course.

New Website and Forum Up!

The new website and forum are now up and active(otherwise, you wouldn't be reading this message!). Content is pretty scarce right now, and most of the pages just display 'coming soon', but be sure to check things out in the future.
