Planned Activities

Game 1

Type? - Friday? - DM?

I could run a game but would prefer to play instead. Perhaps someone who hasn't DMed before could try a short game? Bert? -- David

Hmm I'll think about it. Does anyone know of a good source of pre-made adventures?-- Bert
You could try here 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 -- 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. -- Henry

Characters

--Add yours here--

Game 2

Level 1 D&D game - Saturday? - Craig as DM

A new adventure that I want to continue at a later date.

Characters

Playing two characters doesn't work so well in my experience. -- David
Point noted :-) -- Craig
Which rules books are currently "in"? I have a number of ideas but don't want to do too much prep. until I know if my character will be of any use. I might be keen to try one of the more exotic arcane classes (warmage, or Truenamer, perhaps...) -- Henry
3.5 rules - Alternative Base classes should be OK as long as they're official, but no psionics. Don't go too OTT though, I'm not an experienced DM with the basics, never mind additions. -- Craig
Wouldn't mind knowing this myself. Been thinking of something like the Swashbuckler or Hexblade from Complete Adventurer. -- Bert

Sunday

Late morning suggestion

  • A nice walk up the hill to the tower (takes less than an hour, but is relatively steep) -- 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) -- Craig
I don't have a laptop. -- 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... -- Henry
I´ll bring my laptop plus NWN and BG2. -- Hannele

Evening Suggestions

  • Are we mad enough to attempt another game of OOTS?
  • More D&D??
