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

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??
