Shopping

I'll probably get the shopping on the way back from picking people up
Usually the shopping bill is split between all 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. -- Craig

Planned Activities

I believe that there was mention of trying a 4e game. I'm up for playing, but not DMing. I have to say that I'm not hugely enthused - not sure why, it might play very well. -- Craig

Friday

Level 1 4e D&D - David as DM

Character builder available here: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/insider/characterbuilder (This is only the downloader, and it doesn't have any proxy settings, so it's likely it won't DL from work - aren't WOTC great! Also it uses the latest .Net libraries, so it won't work under WINE, I had to install it on my Windoze VM) -- Craig.

Level 3 D&D game - Hannele as DM

Sample rules from last meet

• 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.
• 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 or item creation

DM Hannele

3rd level characters (Starting gold = 2700gp)

Not fighting based, but more directed at problem solving

• Current suggestion. Willing to change for party balance -- Craig

Sunday

Late morning suggestion

• A nice walk up the hill to the tower (takes less than an hour, but is relatively steep) -- Craig

  I'm in Delphine

Afternoon/Evening suggestions

• Ten-pin Bowling?

  This would be my second choice. Delphine

  I would love to, but if we went to a bowling alley I could only watch (not too bad, depending on the beer). If I did try to play I would not be able to use my hand for days to come. I could play it using the Wii, since that does not involve any heavy lifting. Hannele

• More D&D??

  I am all for more DND. Continue one of the previous games? Start David's new game? Delphine

  Yes, please. With David's 4e game and my game that is not action based, a "normal" DnD session would be great. Hannele

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

  NO! I mean: let's not, please, pretty please, with sugar on top. Hannele

• Chill out and watch TV?

  No TV please :) Delphine
