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

Henry?	??	??	??

Depends on the level. If it's level 2 or 3 I'd possibly like to revisit my rogue (1)/cleric (n) character in his earlier campaigns. -- Craig

I'd kinda settled on Level1, but I'll see if I can up the difficultly to Level2. -- Bert

It's your game, I'm happy with 1st level :) -- Craig

Saturday

Level 1-3 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.

• I can make this anywhere from level 1-3, I'm happy with whatever you guys want to play. I'm leaning towards level 3.
• 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.
• House rules - Quick potions; No XP cost for spells or item creation

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??
