IN> Call for games for Gateway 2007--an answer

[Barbara Fuentes]

Need to stew on the descriptions and confirm with my helpers, but as of 
this moment I'm intending to run In Nomine Live on Saturday at 3pm and 
Cthulhu Live on Sunday at 3.  Unlike last time they won't be a 
continuous story--just very loosely linked thematically i.e. each is a 
standalone game.  The latter, in fact, I'm cribbing from the lovely 
CD-ROM I bought last con.

I will likely have a different helper from one day to the next, and one 
of those as far as I know is a new-to-Strat'con GM.  Will have to touch 
base with you on who gets what badge, who pays in advance, things like that.
