Planned Activities

Friday

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

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! :) Bert

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

Same rules as detailed for Craigs game

Characters

Player	Character	Class	Race
Craig	Mardek	Knight	Dwarf
David	??	??	??
Hannele	??	??	??
Henry	Torquil	Rogue	Dwarf

Henry, I'm not giving anything away, but how would Parax feel about killing his own species... Bert

Well, maybe he'll move to the other game... 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. -- Craig

Saturday

Level 3 D&D game - Craig as DM

A new adventure that I want to continue at a later date.
If you've read the Dungeon master for Dummies book - let me know!! My planned adventures are in there.

• 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.

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??
