Meeting at Craig's in Darwen, May some time |
||
Dates?? |
|||
* It was all a lot of fun. |
|||
30th of April to 3rd of May; 14th to 17th and 21st to 24th of May are good for me -- ~~ |

Flight times: |
|||
Flights booked - Arrive at Liverpool on Friday 09.05, depart Monday at 17.45 - [[User:Bert|Bert]] |
|||
Bert - |
|||
Hannele- |
|||
(please try to co-ordinate for a combined Manchester pickup) |
|||
My flight arrives at Liverpool on Friday 12.15, and I leave Monday at 19.15 - [[User:Hannele|Hannele]] |
|||
: Can you two arrange what you want to do about transport. It's a hundred mile round trip to Liverpool Airport and back, so I'm not making two trips. Bert if you're happy to hang around I'll pick you up together, but a better suggestion might be for you both to catch the coach to Manchester where Bert will have something to do, and I can pick you both up at the same time. There's a car park right by the coach station where you arrive, so I can maybe meet Bert, grab some lunch in Chinatown and wait for Hannele at about 1pm. |
|||
::I hadn't actually realised how far it was! Maybe you just drive too quickly :P Would you be ok with Craigs idea H? Craig - The coach drops at Sackville St. or Shudehill Interchange so which would be best? [[User:Bert|Bert]] |
|||
::: I'm fine with the suggestion. Bert: could you point me to the URL to buy my e-ticket for the coach? And who knows: easyJet might yet decide to put me on the early flight. I'll text one or both of you when we reach our destination. [[User:Hannele|Hannele]] |
|||
::::If you click the link on the [[http://www.liverpoolairport.com/page.php?p=123 Liverpool Airport]] site and it'll set the destination for you. You just need to pick One way and the dates. [[User:Bert|Bert]] |
|||
::: It's probably more like 90 miles, and I mentioned it last time :P Sackville Street is where I meant. It's right by Chinatown and there's a car park above the coach station. |
|||
:::: You know what? I probably said the same thing last time :) [[User:Bert|Bert]] |
|||
David and I are coming by car; we'll be arriving around 1600h on Friday and leaving Monday a.m. - [[User:Henry|Henry]] |

⚫ | Tip for a potential DM: You could try here [http://wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/oa/20030530b http://wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/oa/20030530b] for some premade ones (I have read "A dark and Stormy Knight", which seemed reasonable - but is obviously spoiled for me). Not sure of the quality of the rest. Or you can try to build something around the things here [http://wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/arch/vv http://wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/arch/vv] -- [[User:Craig|Craig]] |
||
I could run a game but would prefer to play instead. Perhaps someone who hasn't DMed before could try a short game? Bert? -- [[User:David|David]] |
|||
:Hmm I'll think about it. Does anyone know of a good source of pre-made adventures?-- [[User:Bert|Bert]] |
|||
⚫ | : |
||
⚫ | |||
::I, too, have read "Dark and Stormy Knight". It seemed entertaining enough; there's always going to be good ones and bad ones. As a first-time DM, particularly for a short session, you may find it easier to run a "kick in the door" style game than a roleplay-heavy "talk the politics" game. As for level, IMO low-level games are easier rules-wise, and faster, but there's something satisfying about being of a high-enough level to take things down hard. -- [[User:Henry|Henry]] |
|||
:::Ok, I'll do it. I've narrowed it down to 3 from the first link that Craig specified. If you read any of them please let me know, and if you haven't then DONT! :) [[User:Bert|Bert]] |

:Henry, I'm not giving anything away, but how would Parax feel about killing his own species... [[User:Bert|Bert]] |
|||
::Well, maybe he'll move to the other game... [[User:Henry|Henry]] |
|||
:::... and become a rogue... just seemed like a more interesting character that way. If someone else has a burning need to play a rogue, let me know and I'll rework Torquil. |

::::Just as long as he's not evil, I'm happy. -- [[User:Craig|Craig]] |

:What rolls? |

:Whats with all the Dwarfs?? |

:: Dwarfs are way cool! -- [[User:Hannele|Hannele]] |
|||
: The Samurai and the Knight are very similar. I think that one of us will need to change. -- [[User:Craig|Craig]] |
|||
:: Two tanks are better than none! I really want to play a dwarven samurai and this is the dwarven game (plus: the other game could really use an arcane spellcaster) I wouldn't bother changing either of our characters, it's the way we play them that counts. -- [[User:Hannele|Hannele]] |
|||
::: I'll change - two full on fighters does not make for a balanced party. We're supposed to be taking it easy on Bert. -- [[User:Craig|Craig]] 21:36, 24 March 2008 (UTC) |
|||
:::: No need to change, Craig, I'll play a cleric. |
|||
:I would suggest only using stuff from the core rule books. As a DM there's enough going on that you don't really need players throwing about special abilities that you've never heard of. However, since a 1st level samurai is just a fighter who took Exotic Weapon Proficiency (Bastard Sword) it doesn't really matter in this case. -- [[User:David|David]] |

: Two rogues Henry? -- [[User:Craig|Craig]] |

:: So the guy likes rogues, who doesn't? -- [[User:Hannele|Hannele]] |

:: It's more that I'm currently playing a fighter, a wizard, a warblade and a swordsage, and I've never been able to fancy playing a cleric. These guys were the ideas near the top of the pile! Also: whee, I've finished my character sheet for Parax! (Assuming 900 gold total, which is IIRC the DMG guide for 3rd level). |

I have a laptop and a desktop that we can do this on so we'd only need 3 more. |

I have a wired hub, or wireless. |

The original Half-Life can be installed on multiple machines :-O (and I have it) -- [[User:Craig|Craig]] |

:I don't have a laptop. -- [[User:David|David]] |

:I do have a laptop; it's a Vista beast and the wireless can be finicky at times. I don't have either HL or CS, so would need to do some quick cheeky installing... -- [[User:Henry|Henry]] |
