==Details==
==Where==
Meeting at Craig's in Darwen, 28th-31st of March
Delpine's apartments


==Travel==
==When==
Flights booked - Arrive at Liverpool on Friday 09.05, depart Monday at 17.45 - [[User:Bert|Bert]]


Long weekend of 11-14 September.
My flight arrives at Liverpool on Friday 12.15, and I leave Monday at 19.15 - [[User:Hannele|Hannele]]


==Travel==
: 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]]


Is it flights to Frankfurt?? [[User:Craig|Craig]]
David and I are coming by car; we'll be arriving around 1600h on Friday and leaving Monday a.m. - [[User:Henry|Henry]]
: Yes. But make sure it's the real Frankfurt (FRA) and not Frankfurt Hahn (HHN) which is 120 km away. -- [[User:David|David]] ([[User talk:David|talk]])


==Shopping==
==Shopping==
Delphine, do you have a plan? [[User:Craig|Craig]] ([[User talk:Craig|talk]])<br />
I'll probably get the shopping on the way back from picking up Bert and Hannele. <br />
Previous [[shopping_list]], not sure how applicable this is to Deutschland.
Usually the shopping bill is split between the 5 of us. Let me know if you're unhappy with this.<br />
Can you let me know of anything that you would like by adding it to the [[shopping_list]] please.

=== Friday ===
===Game 1===
====David's Campaign====


Characters:
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]]
::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, 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]]

==== Level 1 D&D - Bert as DM (Be nice!) ====

Same rules as detailed for Craigs game

===Game 2: ===
: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?
::Same as normal - see Craigs rules as I'm too lazy... -- [[User:Bert|Bert]]
: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]]


=== Saturday ===
====Henry's Zeitgeist Campaign====
Characters:
====Level 3 D&D game - Craig as DM ====


A new adventure that I want to continue at a later date.<br/>

==Accommodation==
: Two rogues Henry? -- [[User:Craig|Craig]]
:: So the guy likes rogues, who doesn't? -- [[User:Hannele|Hannele]]

=== Sunday ===
====Late morning suggestion====
* A nice walk up the hill to the tower (takes less than an hour, but is relatively steep) -- [[User:Craig|Craig]]
====Afternoon suggestions====
* Ten-pin Bowling?

* Bring a laptop for Half-Life/Counter Strike deathmatches? Or a multi-player NWN/BG2 game?
It's only a suggestion - we can do plenty of other things
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]]
:I´ll bring my laptop plus NWN and BG2. -- [[User:Hannele|Hannele]]

====Evening Suggestions====
* Are we mad enough to attempt another game of OOTS?
* More D&D??


Do we need to bring anything Delphine? [[User:Craig|Craig]] ([[User talk:Craig|talk]])
[[Category:IRL]]
: Yes, bring anything you might need to run campaigns, I have no books, no figurines (although surely the kids have enough junk ;)), extra dice etc. Otherwise, we'll make do with sheets and stuff, I have more than enough blankets and towels for you all. Carry books rather than towels. :D [[User:Notafish|Delphine]] ([[User talk:Notafish|talk]]) 20:13, 26 August 2015 (BST)
: Also, I have two available rooms, one with one bed and the possibility of adding a matress, the other with enough floor space for up to 3 matresses. There is plenty of space floor and matresses for all of you to be comfortable, but you will have to share rooms, so be wary of who snores and who doesn't (Arne and I snore but then we have our room ;-)). Just sayin'! [[User:Notafish|Delphine]] ([[User talk:Notafish|talk]])
