Details
Meeting at Craig's in Darwen, March 4th-7th
Travel
Bert: Ferry booked. Should be in Darwen around 3pm. Need to leave about 9am on Monday morning.
David: Looks like it will be the train. Might bring my bike and cycle part of the way if there looks to be a sensible route (and if it's not raining).
Henry: Also train. We should try to coordinate arrival times.
Hannele: I'll be flying to and from Manchester.
- Flight times: arrival March 4th, 10:25; departure March 7th, 17:55.
- Bert: you flew to Manchester last time and we met at Victoria station. How did you get from the airport to there?
- There's a train station at the airport. Not sure how frequently the trains go to Victoria (I think most go to Picadilly) -- Craig

Shopping
As Bert and Hannele are arriving in Darwen by train, we can shop after you arrive in Darwen.
Usually the shopping bill is split between the 5 of us. Let me know if you're unhappy with this.
Can you let me know of anything that you would like by adding it to the shopping_list please.
Planned Activities
If everyone can make it I'll continue our weekly games one one of the days, otherwise I'll throw together a one off (4e I think).
Friday
DM volunteer required (Friday usually follows on to Sunday)
- I'm planning to DM a Pathfinder game. I've got a couple of modules, starting with level 1, so we can start with the first and see how far we get. Hannele
Level 1 Ruleset: Hannele as DM
Rules at http://www.d20pfsrd.com/
Just roll your characters in advance. I'll be bringing my laptop with Hero Lab, so people can decide to create their character in Darwen.

Saturday
Late morning suggestion
- Morning dog walk for those wanting to join me -- Craig
I could run another (maybe a couple of) deathmatch games. You could use the same 3.5e guys (the friendly folks in the arena healed you before you expired totally), or use Pathfinder with new characters. Remember that potions/wands are important this time! It's unlikely I'll have any time to do more than this (i.e. use the back story below).
Unless anyone else wants to step-up, I'll assume that this is what we're doing on Saturday
Level 8 3.5e D&D game - Craig as DM
- 3.5 rules - Alternative Base classes are OK. Don't go too OTT though, I'm not an experienced DM.
- Swift and Immediate actions allowed (just like minor actions and interrupts in 4e).
- No psionics
- Stats - 4d6 take highest 3 - I'm sure that I can trust you all to do this on your own.
- No evil characters
- House rules:
- Quick potions;
- No XP cost for spells, but if you create a lot of stuff lose the XP and maybe be a lower starting level;
- Removed: Natural Spell feat (Druids have it good enough already)
Summary
The four of you live in the disputed borderlands of Arameth and Melican, two countries that have been at war for centuries. The strip of land where you all live, known as Geria has changed hands several times in the last three hundred years. For the last 10 years, it has been in the state of Melican, though naturally loyalties in the region are as divided between the two nations.
Arameth is the centre of religious belief for the entire continent and is politically focused in that direction. The Ducal title is non-hereditary, and belongs to the current head of the church. Melican is a loose collection of mercantile city states controlled by an elected senate based in the largest city, Argentia, which is around 150 miles from Geria. Its religion is based on that of Arameth, though it has no formal hierarchy and is derived from a great religious schism from that of Arameth five centuries previously.
Currently Melican is on high alert, and expecting an invasion from Arameth. You have all been conscripted to the defence of Melican.
Please make an individual basic choice of affiliation, anywhere on a scale of zealous proponents of one nation to a total indifference. Don't feel you have to flesh out much more than this though.
