Ambercon US 2003
How many game is too much. Last year, I GMed 3 games and it went well but this year I have so many games I want to run that I'm having problems narrowing them down.

Games I am definately running:

The LARP: "Amberites and the Chaosians that Love Them."

"Love and Loss in the Dreaming City"

Games I am seriously considering running:

"Amber's Game"- Description (First Draft): The second war against Chaos was won but at a terrible cost. The Chaosian's use of magic and strange powers overwhelmed Amber. The city of Amber was left in ruins and most of Oberon's children fell in battle. When Amber's fate seemed sealed, one commander took the initiative and led his small platoon into a decisive battle that changed the winds of war and repelled the last of the invaders. A hundred years has passed. Amber hasn't heard from Chaos since their remaining forces fled back in to shadow, but they are out there. It's only a matter of time before they invade again and Amber must be prepared. To find the next general, Benedict has built a school in Arden to train the children of Oberon's bloodline. He hopes to find the next brilliant general to lead the forces of Amber against the coming invasion. These children are taken from their Amberite parents at a young age and train hard because if a great general is not found in time, then Amber is doomed. (Players take the roles of the Children of Amberites. This would be a new series game.)

"The Heist II: The Melnibone Job" (I'm thinking about running another Heist-style throne war and this time setting somewhere outside of Amber, in shadow. Melnibone comes to mind because it would be so well defended from thiefs and because players wouldn't need any experience with the source material but if they are familiar it won't hurt.)

Other ideas:
Nobilis (I have a plot idea that would tie in to the Amber setting)
Vampire- "All Roads Lead to Rome" (A Diceless Game of Vampire: Dark Ages about a group of Vampires on a pilgrimage to Rome and what they find when they get there.
Morpheus- (A sequel to "Morpheus Calling" for new and/or returning characters)
Robot Murders - (A mystery set in Asimov's Robot setting)
