Well I know one of my games for sure, in it's traditional Sunday afternoon slot:


1. GM Name: Paul Lawrence
2. System: Call Of Cthulhu
3. Title: Napalm Jones: Raging Inferno
4. Description:

Napalm Jones: Raging Inferno
Timeline: The near future, in which the UK has been overran by the Rage Virus. The Infected walk the country, whilst the survivors hole up in fortified towns.

A governmental exploratory offshore rig loses contact with the mainland. At the same time, Torchwood report 'off the scale rift activity', at the same location.

Once more, local Torchwood leader, Dr. Sapphire ‘Napalm’ Jones and her team of specialists head out to investigate the strange phenomena.

Accompanying them are:
(a) A U.N.I.T. team, led by Captain Lucy Hawkins
(b) Two governmental advisors

Arriving by chopper, their first sight is one of carnage, and the baffling sight of the Infected running amok on the rig.

The Infected are the least of their problems...

Cast consist of: 3 x Torchwood / 3 x U.N.I.T./ 2 x Advisors

5. No. of players: 8
6. Preferred slot: Sun PM

Ok, everything received by email or on the boards has been added to the timetable now. Please, please could I ask people to email me, not just post on the boards, or I could start missing things.

Whilst in no way committing to running it at the moment, I am SORELY tempted to run 'Gleeville' at Furnace for the Saturday night slot.

Smallville + Glee + Roleplay + Song + Dance + Beer.

What could go wrong?!

Couldn't be any worse than the Irish Rover D&H game that broke you a couple of years ago ;)

Greetings all

I've emailed you Elaine but just so all are aware I'll run 3 slots (1, 2 and 4 as usual) - looking like Marvel Heroic Roleplaying for at least 1 slot, maybe Song of Ice and Fire or Spirit for the others if not Marvel.

My submission is as follows

Forsooth (This game was the Indiechef winner 2011)

One man in his time plays many parts, so we are all storytellers, all actors, all directors, all playwrights. As an ensemble,
the players will tell the tale of a group of Exiles. Whether that story is comedy or tragedy, history or farce, is up to the players
to decide as the game runs its course. Along the way, the players’ characters may scheme, fight, deliver moving soliloquies,
question their mortal nature and even forswear their solemn oaths, all in the name of applause. The action begins when the
first character enters, and ends when all the Exiles are either married or dead.

A game for 5 players (plus me), Saturday afternoon/evening...

Nothing definite on the times or details yet but I intend to run

- A vanilla Beat to Quarters game. No hacking, just the proper game (nods to Dr Mitch)
- Monsterhearts (assuming between now and then I haven't ran it into the ground...)
- Gleeville - Smallville vs Glee. With audio-visual additions. Yes Pete, there can be singing!

So, how's the games timetable looking at the moment? Well, we've got a lot of reserved slots, a couple of named game systems without scenarios as of yet, and a baker's dozen of fully detailed sessions. Early days, but here's your first, colour-coded look at how Furnace 2012 is shaping up.
