GenCon Already

I'm trying to deal with a brainstorm I had for a game for the next GenCon. I think it was really a collaborative effort from the geeks at work.

My wife got me an Order of the Stick shirt for last Christmas called Fantasy Fantasy. It shows a bunch of Knights talking about their fantasy characters around the water cooler (spoiler for Ned Stark). Of course we were discussing our own fantasy football teams, and I started thinking about having a fantasy team at GenCon.

So what about it. How could you have a fantasy team at GenCon?

The idea so far.

Teams of either six or eight (I prefer six)

Four separate scenarios - fantasy game, modern day (I think modeled after either The Laundry or a mystery), science fiction (Star Wars maybe or Starship Troopers), and super heroes.

Each scenario is run twice

Scoring per character averaged per scenario. I don't know how to do scoring yet.

There will be six Fantasy Team managers. They will each have to draft a team of PCs - one from each scenario.

Perhaps we will have the draft on Wed. Night along with a sample of each scenario.

Idea still fermenting.

Biggest question so far is do you tell the people playing in the scenarios that their PC is part of another game? The team managers won't be able to play in the scenarios of course, but how do you explain six strangers watching your game and cheering for the PCs?

Hopefully more details later.
