United Kingdom in the Playground Meetup - Xmas Party

[Exachix]

I'm comming!

But, only if I can get a lift from the Train Station.

[Dark Dork]

Hello!

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, been busy with college and stuff.

I'll be there and I'll do another game of D&D, higher level this time if I can find the players.

And yes, I will bring my Filing Cabinet of Many Things.

[zombie chick]

grrrrr:smallfurious:

Each time, SOMETHING stops me from going...

i hope you manage to visit soon, i cant believe its been over 5 years since i went there. still its worth it, and it somehow drags you back, like a black hole.
soon the draw will be overpowering and you will succumb. mwhahahaha!
ahem...

anyway it will be great to see you all again :smallbiggrin:

You need to update your signature.:smallsmile:

[KuReshtin]

awwww, It would be great to see you again... Well I suppose we'll have to have ANOTHER one in the summer just for your benefit.

Well, if there'll be a summer meet just for my benefit, I guess I'll have to take special measures to make it there.. :smallsmile:

[Archonic Energy]

Well, if there'll be a summer meet just for my benefit, I guess I'll have to take special measures to make it there.. :smallsmile:

this one will be @ lands end...

espically for your inconvieniance

[Dark Dork]

You need to update your signature.:smallsmile:

Done. :smallbiggrin:

[Castaras]

Is it just me, or does that title sound ominous?

"The bearer of the filing cabinet is coming..."
"The filing cabinet?! Oh no!"
"And not only that...It's the Filing cabinet of many things."

<.< >.>

[Archonic Energy]

"And not only that...It's the Filing cabinet of many things."
<.< >.>

some of the items contained are so powerful that they need to be contained in 30ft of Lead....

it's a good thing that "the cabinet" is a extradimentional space

DDork have you got GLaDOS in there?

[Charity]

Hey Archie have you seen this? (http://www.boardgamegeek.com/game/22827)

Oh my god they're breaking down the door argh...

filler

[BrokenButterfly]

First time checking in a while, so I'm glad I spotted the handy newsflash.

I will definitely be coming, since I had so much fun last time.

I'm thinking about t-shirting my avatar for this as well. I've thought it would look nice on a black shirt for a bit now, so here's some motivation to do it.

Looking forward to seeing everyone again!

EDIT: I could really do with a lift from the station this time as well.

[Archonic Energy]

I'm thinking about t-shirting my avatar for this as well.

HEY!!!

that was my idea.... ok you can "borrow" it

Games to be Brought my me

MWAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAAA He never expected the mind control lasers would be turned against him... now just to get the beam to focus on Yuki, Matthew and Saph simultaniously ... gunner need some sort of ray splitter...

Hey Archie you got a spare diffraction grating?

[Archonic Energy]

Hey Archie you got a spare diffraction grating?

i have this strange urge to help you...
i just spent the weekend playing Star-munchkin with my mates... i MAY have to "borrow" it
i'm not sure why though.

[Dark Dork]

Last meetup I had many requests from people to be in my game of D&D if we ever meet again. These requests far outnumbered the sensible amount of people in a game and so I'm going to have run it on a first come, first serve basis. This is unfair on people who don't visit these forums regularly and so it would be best if everyone PMs me so I can be bribed and deny the order in which the messages came in :smallwink:

PM me now with requests to join my game of D&D at the meetup. Do it quickly.

[Archonic Energy]

ARRGH!

i really want to PM you and say "me plz"
but, i think i'm going to be running a few games myself... :smallfrown:

*Puts the Sorceror away*

sorry DD,

but i still have a gift for you.

[Purple Cloak]

hmm, ill see if i can make it, its not far away after all

[Dark Dork]

but i still have a gift for you.

A gift? I'm Intrigued... and terrified

[Archonic Energy]

A gift? I'm Intrigued... and terrified

i wouldn't be.

it's not like the Gold plated Rolls Royce that C. has asked for...

i just think you'll get more use out of it than i.

[Purple Cloak]

hmm if i can make it i could bring talisman, Zombies!!! (with 2,3 and 4) and/or run DnD, im not promising anything yet :smalltongue:

[Archonic Energy]

List of players for my Games:

Session 1) OotS: TBG (Max 6) 3-4 Hrs 12-4ish

Archonic Energy
Last Resort
Exachix
Cassie
zombie chick

Archonic Energy (Tassadar)
Charity
Ikkitosen (Zerg...)

Exachix (Poss)
Last Resort (Poss)


if you would like to play these games please PM/post here

Priority will be given to those on BOTH lists (Because then as soon as one game finishes we can jump straight into the next one)

[Exachix]

I would like to play the OotS board game =D.

Maybe SC too... I'll wait and see =P.

[Castaras]

OotS Boardgame = In!

Shall me and Lensman bring in ours as well, just in case? :smalltongue:

[Last_resort_33]

Me for teh bordgamez

[Archonic Energy]

Me for teh bordgamez

i assume the "z" means put you down for both



Shall me and Lensman bring in ours as well, just in case? :smalltongue:

yes... because if more than 6 people are in then there may be problemz

... i mean problems

Edit: and shouldn't that be "Lensman and I"?

[Last_resort_33]

i assume the "z" means put you down for both

yes, although I'm not so bothered about the second.

[Ikkitosen]

I'll bring my new Marvel Superheroes game (which is teh awesomez but takes a while unless you've played before) and Bohnanza, if I ever find where I left it.

I'd like to play the StarCraft boardgame if time/timing permits...

Any last-minute additions to the attendance list btw? I'll be heading to Brum soon to pay for the room. It'll run to no more than £10 each, including the buffet thang.

[Timberwolf]

Edit: and shouldn't that be "Lensman and I"?

Yes. yes it should. The youth of today.

*Glares at Cassie*

[Archonic Energy]

I'd like to play the StarCraft boardgame if time/timing permits...


i'll put you down as a Poss then.

[Totally Guy]

Who's got what? I'd like to do lots of littl activities this time rather than getting into aanything epic. Alternatively I could see if I could find a game to showcase the hobby project thing I've been working on in secret...

[Kantur]

Who's got what? I'd like to do lots of littl activities this time rather than getting into aanything epic. Alternatively I could see if I could find a game to showcase the hobby project thing I've been working on in secret...

Yeah, should we possibly get a post somewhere cental to update the game possibilities? Otherwise we might get there and find ourselves drowning in choice as people pull out vast collections of games...

As for what I have...
D&D 3.5 (Though I'm pretty sure Dark Dork's got that covered :smallwink: - unless there's sufficient interest for two games...)
2nd Ed D&D
Call of Cthulhu
Twilight 2000
(New) World of Darkness - Core and Vampire: The Requiem
(Old) World of Darkness - Vampire: The Masquerade

Though I hasten to add, at most I'll likely only bring two of the above. So if anyone has any specific preference, let me know. (Though I'd quite like to run a Mortal World of Darkness game personally - but if people want something different, I'm happy to provide something different.)

[zombie chick]

darn being distracted by national novel writing month and forgetting to check here!

if there is any spaces for OOTS or someone us starting a new game of that, count me in!

Kantur - i have been told good things of vampire: masquerade so could i ask you nicely to bring that? i would definately be interested.

and i will haveto take time out from writing to check more frequently, otherwise im gonna be sitting in a corner playing patience and having a conversation with myself :smalleek: :smallsmile:

[Charity]

How did I not get included on Archies Starcraft list *adjusts focus of mind control laser* ~MEMEMEMEMEMEME~
I am bringing a few boardgames, and the Avengers might have to defend their title Ikkie, I am deeply tempted by DD's game, but I figure all da places have been gobbled up by now.

[Archonic Energy]

i wanted Verification.

you in for OotS too?

[Charity]

By my calculations *counts on fingers...twice* I think your Oots game is full meister, I played at GenCon, so I know what its all about anyhow, so I will sacrifice my place to allow those whom hav not had a go to do so, to be honest I'm sure there will be spare gaming, and folk to be had... Aw crap I'm gonna have to sort out an hotel room again... sigh.

[Archonic Energy]

By my calculations *counts on fingers...twice* I think your Oots game is full meister,

Strange... i make it 5.

Ikk, what time are we starting on Sat?

[Charity]

Didn't Castaras include Lensman in her application?

[Archonic Energy]

Didn't Castaras include Lensman in her application?

nope, she said "OotS Boardgame = In!" there is no "we" in there

maybe she want's to get away from him for a while...
maybe that's reason enough to include him...
and maybe since they are bringing their copy Lensman will run a game himself...
unless of course he's running a SW game.
*shrug*
who knows,
all i know is i have 1 free space, with the priority given to people playing SC too.

besides, i think there'll be too many people wanting to play this for just 1 game to be run.

[Last_resort_33]

OK, Just to clarify,

I would like to play

OOTS
Star Wars
Nuclear War

[Archonic Energy]

OK, Just to clarify,

I would like to play

OOTS
...


will you be wearing your Durkon T-Shirt?
*considers rigging the "random" assignments*

*whistles innocently*

[Charity]

Your space platform awaits young padwan.

I have an expansion to Puerto rico as well which is pretty cool (this is no time for traditional British understatement) really bloody good, I shall also drag along Red Dragon Inn, which is a larf.

Can't be bothered to drag along settlers unless you lot bitch and moan for it, so if you wanna play comence bitching.

Ikkie is still struggling for net connection... shoulda got Sky (mutter mutter, M&S vouchers, grumble) I'll text him for a start date and post it, as he's playing footie tonight I think.. or rustling badgers, it's hard to say for sure.

Oh if anyone is thinking of getting Sky we could all get £25 of M&S vouchers (about 2.5 pairs of pants) so give me a shout... or a PM as that would prob work and all.
No vouchers for you then bucko... then again what do energy beings ned with pants...

[Archonic Energy]

ooo i want sky!








which is why i have it

[Castaras]

Nuclear War

Yes. Yes, yes yes yes. I want to play Nuclear War again.

I want to blow you all up again. :smallbiggrin: Hopefully I won't get stealth bombed this time...=P

[Exachix]

Certainly.

So I can Manhattan Project you!

[Castaras]

Oh good.
*prepares cannon, spreads propaganda*
Of course, you'll want this secret, won't you? :smallwink:

[Charity]

Space platforms and MX missiles FTW.

Fear not Nukkie war will be turning up

[Last_resort_33]

Space platforms and MX missiles FTW.

Fear not Nukkie war will be turning up

Hopefully I won't end up in giggles over secrets again.

[Castaras]

Hopefully I won't end up in giggles over secrets again.

That was hilarious. :smallbiggrin: :smallbiggrin:

[Archonic Energy]

C, are you going to be playing as the Terrans?
:smallwink:

[Ikkitosen]

*Ikki runs in in shorts and footy shirt*

lohdgjhk au if iuo s oijf oin [powe fn.

*Takes off goalie gloves*

Sorry about that, I need them for the damned badgers.

Anyhoooooo...I'm guessing that the pub opens around noon at the latest - I'm trying to organise a trip back to Brum now so I can check up on things. Watch this space.

I'll be bringing Marvel Superheroes and Bohnanza and would like to play StarCraft and Nuclear War (neither of the owners of which will be getting a lift back daaaan saaaaf if I don't get to play :smallamused:). Board games ftw!

*Runs out*

It's a drive-by typing I tells ya!

[BrokenButterfly]

Gah! I'd best get down my requests before everything's filled up!

I would especially like to play:

OotS (But since it takes ages I don't mind giving it up to play more shorter games instead)
Munckins
Zombies!

...and I intend to retain the Nuclear War crown as well :smallamused:

BTW I likely won't be getting my avatar on a shirt for the meet. On a 6-1 chance from one of those Japanese style vending machines I got a keychain of my avatar. So I'll be touting that instead, otherwise creepy Yuna overkill.

Wild stab in the dark...anyone play Magic the Gathering at all? I've got back into it recently and I'd enjoy the odd game if anyone can...

[Archonic Energy]

and would like to play StarCraft and Nuclear War (neither of the owners of which will be getting a lift back daaaan saaaaf if I don't get to play :smallamused:). Board games ftw!


any good local hotels?
i'm considering traveling up on the Fri so i well be there earlier on the Sat... theroetically

Ikk do you have a particularly loved SC race?

[Charity]

I have about a bajillion cards BB but... They are all from decades past, and so would no doubt be illegitimate and confusing to all you Jonney come lately types :smalltongue:

Ikkie the prospect of reducing you to a fine radioactive dust is more than enough to ensure your place. :smallbiggrin:
It's lucky you can have 13 players isn't it...

[Archonic Energy]

Ikkie the prospect of reducing you to a fine radioactive dust is more than enough to ensure your place. :smallbiggrin:


Ghost: someone call for an exterminator?

[Last_resort_33]

@C & AE: Do you two actually have jobs to go to or what?

[Charity]

Four letter expletives are banned from this site LR33 circumventing the filters is heavily frowned upon.:smallwink: .
w***

[Archonic Energy]

@C & AE: Do you two actually have jobs to go to or what?

i get paid by someone to turn up somewhere... does that count?

[Exachix]

Ghost: someone call for an exterminator?

Tank: I'm about to drop the Hammer!

And:
I may have to leave early to get the train home like Libris did last time.

And I will need a lift from the station.

[Ikkitosen]

any good local hotels?
i'm considering traveling up on the Fri so i well be there earlier on the Sat... theroetically

Ikk do you have a particularly loved SC race?

This is excellent news - I was going to ask the Ikkimobile passengers if they wanted to go up on fri to paint the town red :smallbiggrin: Oh, and to be there early of course!

As for SC...Zergrush!!!!!!!! (did I do that right?? :smallconfused:)

[Lensman]

Sorry - been out of the loop for a while. Real life (more frightening than Darth Vader, believe me!) has been getting in the way.

Anyone who wants to be tortured play Star Wars please let me know - I'm only planning to run one session, with no more than six victims players.

[Kantur]

Ooh, sign me up for Star Wars.


And on a similar note, at Zombie Chick's request, I'll be bringing Vampire Masquerade along with me, so if anyone's interested, let me know.

[Last_resort_33]

I have said it many times, but just to make sure:

ME ME ME for Star Wars!

[Archonic Energy]

This is excellent news - I was going to ask the Ikkimobile passengers if they wanted to go up on fri to paint the town red :smallbiggrin: Oh, and to be there early of course!

As for SC...Zergrush!!!!!!!! (did I do that right?? :smallconfused:)

Kerrigan or Overmind (i'm not sure how that effects play at the moment, but we'll see when the damn thing arrives!)

where do i need to get to to ride the Ikkimobile?

and as before any good local hotels?

[Last_resort_33]

This is excellent news - I was going to ask the Ikkimobile passengers if they wanted to go up on fri to paint the town red :smallbiggrin: Oh, and to be there early of course!
That doesn't sound like a bad idea, if I can and you can, maybe we should meet up. I'll bring a paintbrush and, depending on what bars you go to, drink the paint-stripper as well.


Could you give us a full address for this shindig? Just so I can look at it on Google Earth and go "wow... I can see a picture of this place!"

[dehro]

I have tried reading the whole thing, but it's just too much..

is the general feeling still Birmingham or has the "cambridge party" taken the lead?
I've close to none experience ('xcept a little munchkin and d&d) but might just be able to be with you, if you'll have me.
(especially if it's Cambridge, where, eventually, I can also host one or two people at my place)
I'm not entirelly sure I'll be able to make it, but if someone nice would be so kind as to put together what consensus we have in terms of date, place a.s.o , I'll put it in the agenda and try not to be out of the country by then.

Thank you

8th

Brum

BYOG
i'm suprised i could condence this whole thread into 3 words/acroynims

[Eldpollard]

So it's the 8th then? I think I can make that. Depends on work.

[zombie chick]

i wanted Verification.

you in for OotS too?

if that is me, then yes please, unless i am too late

kantur - thankyou for bringing the game, looking forward to it :)

eldpollard, i hope that you can make it :)

[Eldpollard]

I hope I can as well. And that I'll have cash. It's my first day at this job on Monday. But hopefully I can get the 8th off. I'll be bringing many versions of munchkin. So if anyone wants to play just say.

[JettWilderbeast]

Hi!
Umm I've read the boards for a long time but only registered in the last month, and all of a sudden I notice this thread!!
Is it too late to say I'll come?

I can bring (and run) Zombies! Risus, Hollyworld, D&D and so so so many more....

[Charity]

All are welcome JW, the whens and wheres are public for just that reason.
See you there.

[Castaras]

*pokes*

Hey LR! You need to update the first post!

*pokes*

[Last_resort_33]

*pokes*

Hey LR! You need to update the first post!

*pokes*

No I don't:smallwink:

If anyone needs a lift from the York or Leeds area then I will be happy to give them a lift down there, I will be spending the night at my parents about 50 miles south, so I won't be able to give a lift back I'm afraid, unless you don't fancy leaving Brum 'till Sunday evening

[Eldpollard]

I would love a lift down. I live in the Hudderfield area if that's okay. If not I can make it to Leeds.
I do need a lift back up though. I don't suppose there's anyone from the Hudderfield area going is there?
I also need a place to stay. Sharing a room or something I guess.

[Archonic Energy]

for the record still one OotS space.

El, you got Space Munchkin?

[Eldpollard]

I do indeed. No expansion though, but it's still awesome.

[Dark Dork]

Well, I've had zero response for my Dungeons and Dragons game for what ever reason so I've decided I will run one in a similar style to last time:

An Introduction to D&D Campaign for all ages and abilities.

PM me or mention in the thread if you'd like to join my game. It shouldn't take the whole day so they'll be time to do other games afterwards.

[Totally Guy]

I've got no internet at home anymore...

And I've not signed up to any games whatsoever yet. :smalleek: Panic! Also I'll be brining my little brother who has no forum account. We'll pretend he has one, invent a name and when you don't know who he is we'll pretend he has an avatar, "yeah, it's a man. With a sword.":smallbiggrin:

Got to choose games. DD is a really good DM, I'd play his game but that pretty much what I do now every week since the first meet up.:smallsmile:

[BrokenButterfly]

Although Archonic mentioned that there was a spot available in his OotS game, I think I'll have to pass.

I'd rather play a few shorter games instead of a much longer one. Can't wait for MegaMunchkins...

[Dark Dork]

You have an automatic invite, Glug, and I'd be pleased to have you and/or your brother in my game. I'm cooking up something good, running simulations all this week.

[Charity]

I might have a go at your game DD, if theres room, I just assumed you were fully booked. If you want 1st time players however I will relinquish my place for anyone who wishes to give it a crack.

[Ikkitosen]

Ok, deposit paid on the room. I'll need to cofirm final numbers in a few weeks.

They're sending me buffet menus. The cheapest is £5.50 a head, I'll post what we'll get once I know plus some options.

They open at 12 and we can have the room all day until close. I've told them we don't need our own bar so it'll be like last time - pop upstairs for drinkies.

I guess I'm telling you all this so that you can pre-book travel and accomodation if you haven't already. You need to get to Birmingham New Street and from there get a local train to Barnt Green (costs less than £5) from where you can be picked up by a driver - likely me! That or drive to junction 4 of the M5 which is just a few minutes' drive from the venue. See my post on page 8 for addresses and hotels and stuff.

Questions, comments etc. welcome!

[Castaras]

Hmm, so we have Zombies, Nuke War, Munchkin, D&D, Star Wars, StarCraft game thing, and OotS, right?

Will we need any more, or should that be enough? :smalltongue:

[Ikkitosen]

I'm bringing Marvel Super Heroes, Bohnanza, Alchemy and some Magic decks I expect.

[Archonic Energy]

*Newsflash* *Newsflash*

I have spoken to the venue, and WE ARE ON. I repeat WE ARE ON.

Date: 8th of December.

Venue: The Oak tree (http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/28/28041/Oak_Tree/Rednal).

Accomodation: The Old Rose and Crown (http://www.oldroseandcrown.com/). Premier Travel Inn (http://www.premierinn.com/pti/home.do) (search for B45 postcode). Within a £10 taxi ride there are dozens - if you have trouble let me know (just don't expect a fast response - as you can no doubt tell from the wonderful Charity, my net access is somewhat limited).

So, now we can chat in earnest about games and such, and now I really need to know how many people are coming. This is now very important. Even if you have told us before, please do so again. Could someone please volunteer to organise this?

EDIT: until they do...

:smalltongue:
Yes.
do you expect some Earth-shattering knoledge to be incased into these white tags? no. then why are you wasting your time reading this mindless Drivel... now where did i leave that mind-control Laser?

[Archonic Energy]

it's here....

i'm looking at it right now...

i need some more geeky friends.

STARCRAFT : The Board Game has arrived !!!!

*parties*
Edit: Ikk any other CHEAP hotels nearby?

[Ikkitosen]

Sorry Archie, I don't tend to stay in many hotels in my home town. Just do a postcode search - there are loads of taxis to ferry you about.

Are you coming in the Ikkimobile btw?

[Archonic Energy]

if you'll let me.

where do i need to be?
and are we meeting on the Fri?

*makes protoss sounds while handling the minitures*
zap

oh no here comes the Battleship with it's yamato cannon
*throws Carrier away*
NOOOOOO!

[Totally Guy]

Booked hotel room for myself and little brother.

I'm looking forward to seeing you all there. I'll be in the D&D game, which isn't the most sociable option but I'll try to do more activities as we almost assuredly drift away from any kind of schedule.

[Charity]

Where did you book Glug? If you don't mind me asking, Archie was experiancing some difficulties, and
*whispers behind hand and looks around furtively*
I havn't even started looking yet.

[Totally Guy]

Travelodge on the M5. Wasn't the cheapest room I've ever booked but I think I know how to get there and it's got more than one bed. My plan is to travel to my hometown on Friday and then travel again on the Saturday morning. Would have been nice to party with you guys, or even drop in on my sexy nursefriends, maybe next time. Actually I'm in Birmingham with work during the week after the meetup so I'll do that then.:smallsmile:

Oooh! Oooh! Ikki, PM the Giant and see if he can write a speech or something for you to read out on the day.

[Archonic Energy]

*blah* sexy nursefriends,*blah*.

:smallbiggrin:




... anyway,
travel lodge M5... searching.

[Eldpollard]

I'm afraid that once again I must back out of the meet up. I was banking on being paid by my new job. However I started after the cut off point for being paid that month. As a result I'll be paid the wednesday after the meet up. Sorry to be cancelling again. I'd really have liked to have gone. Sorry everyone.

[Kantur]

Sorry to hear that, maybe next time things'll finally work out?

On a side note, I wish these (http://www.iwantoneofthose.com/scrolling-led-badges/index.html) were available for my badge...

[Ikkitosen]

Archie: Chaz and I were thinking of going up to Brum on the Friday. You interested in that? If so, from what time can you be available on the Friday? Because I can tell you from experience that driving to Birmingham on a Friday afternoon/evening is a BAD IDEA unless you get an early start.

I have now used and read Friday often enough for it to not seem like a word any more. Stupid brain...

heh... :smallamused:
i'm off work on the friday so anytime...

where do i need to get to?
unless of course you're going to pick me up from east london.

[Dark Dork]

Here is the current status of my D&D game at the meet:

-Starting at 1st Level

-Ideally generate characters beforehand but if can't we can sort something out on the day

-Show what homebrew stuff you're using for approval ( Probably not important, we'll be starting at level 1)

-When creating characters, make sure you bring any splatbooks you've used or tell me and I can bring what I got. Make sure you are familiar with the rules associated with the character. ( Not really important, but I warn you, I have no idea how to do psionics )

-The players we have are:

-Glug
-Glug's Bro
-Charity
-The_Librarian

- I don't really mind about party balance, just play what you think is enjoyable

-@Glug :smallfrown: I'm not sure I'll be able to work "The Beast" into my campaign, not sure of the size of the table and I won't be able to simulate it until the day but you can still bring it if you want, of course :smallsmile:

That is all for now.
P.S. @LR33 How are you getting to Birmingham and are you driving back on the evening cos two hours (plus) both ways means a long day. In addition, can I come with you?! :smallredface:

[Charity]

DD can I use ToB, and/or PHB II?
and for pregen characters, are we rolling online, using point buy or an array to generate stats?
If you want any help Libris, just give me a shout, I'm sure I can help.

Ikkie I finish at about 4 on a Fri, but I can take the afternoon off if its easier, no skin off my nose.

Archie are you playing Starcraft at the same time as DD's game? I hope not *crosses fingers*

[Dark Dork]

DD can I use ToB, and/or PHB II?

Yes but bring ToB with you when you come, I've got PHB2


and for pregen characters, are we rolling online, using point buy or an array to generate stats?

Just use the old-fashioned method of roll 4d6 and drop the lowest, you don't have to do it online, I'll trust your honesty.

the first game is OotS... starting at 12 ish...
DD what are the chances you'll be finished by 4 ish?

C and there's probably only the 3 of us playing so we can wait...

you booked your hotel C?

[Charity]

Ok matey... See now I hope I don't roll three 18's as it will look dodgy as hell... I could always get Ikkie to witness the rolls, though he's off learning archaic programming languages this week.
I've been hoping to play a warblade for ages, so I figure I'll be one of them.

Edit - cool cheers Archie.... and no I've not booked yet... sort it out Chaz you big slacker

[zombie chick]

archic, i have a slight problem i dont think i will be able to get down until about 1-2pm, so i dunno if i can be in the OOTS which i am well gutted for.
unless you guys can wait for a while but i dont want to hold everything up for me.
darn work!

still wil lbe coming and looking forward to it

[Exachix]

I will be comming.

I need to sort out my train though.

And I will probably have to go at about 6 =(.

[Totally Guy]

Don't call my little brother Robin a beast. You've not even met him yet.:smalltongue:

Yes I'll be bringing these things along. It's only a third of the size of what you used at the Leeds meetup so I'm not worried about it being too big.

[Dark Dork]

Not that beast! :smallamused:

@Charity: It don't matter, it's just the one dungeon so I'm not worried about character balance or anything. I haven't put any restrictions on class so we could well end up in a party with no specialist, divine or arcane spellcaster :smallconfused:

[The_Librarian]

DD can I use ToB, and/or PHB II?

If you want any help Libris, just give me a shout, I'm sure I can help.

I see your offer and take you up on it! Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Alas, I couldn't find a satisfactory miniature wolf, so the big grey one'll be with me again.

[Charity]

no worries Libris, I'd not have offered if it was any hardship.
What do you want to be?
A warrior, an skill monkey, a wizard or a holywoman?
Oh if you wanna PM me to maintain your mystique it's fine, I have cleared some of the clutter out of my PM box. What I'll do is put your character up here (http://www.thetangledweb.net/addon.php?addon=Profiler&page=view_char&cid=5208) so you can print it off at home and if you need to make adjustments or get familiar with her it should be easier.

Oh DD do you allow flaws (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/buildingCharacters/characterFlaws.htm) I don't really need that extra feat, but if we have no cleric I might appreciate a bit of vital recovery and if Libris is anything other than a human she may be needing feats badly... checks to see if he has stats for an anthro wolf anywhere...

[Exachix]

I see your offer and take you up on it! Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Alas, I couldn't find a satisfactory miniature wolf, so the big grey one'll be with me again.

YAY!

I may bring a fox... =D.

[Archonic Energy]

I see your offer and take you up on it! Your help would be greatly appreciated.


be a sorceror...

then i can laugh at your inititive rolls :smalltongue:

ZC: that puts me in a predicament...

[Dark Dork]

Probably plan about three levels of development, I'm going to speed up experience so that there's a sense of character growth in just one session.

[zombie chick]

archonic - ive asked a friend of mine to cover for me, hes gonna get back to me this week, so hopefully all will be well and no reshuffling will need to be done :)

[Dark Dork]

Oh DD do you allow flaws (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/buildingCharacters/characterFlaws.htm)

Oh, flaws are fine.

[Archonic Energy]

Don't worry Archie I'll buy you a drink.

erm, you do remember that i'm tee-total right?
...
RIGHT?

[Charity]

The horror! The goggles do nothing, nothing!
Of course I remembered (whistles)
I guess we'll just have to drug you then.. Kidding kidding... cost of drugs these days is prohibitive. Kidding kidding
Tee-total, non driver you sir, are an anathema.
You'll just have to find space for a lot of cans of coke.

[Archonic Energy]

Tee-total, non driver you sir, are an anathema.




Anathema (in Greek Ανάθεμα) meaning originally something lifted up as an offering to the gods; later, with evolving meanings, it came to mean:

to be formally set apart,
banished, exiled, excommunicated or denounced, sometimes accursed.

Something tells me you aren't offering me to any Gods...

Memo to Self: Pack Armoured Breastplate (+ 10)

[zombie chick]

archonic - ive managed to get cover for the saturday, so i am happy to tel lyou i will be there for the 12 o clock start, sorry to create panic there.

see you all in a week!

[BrokenButterfly]

I'm kinda nervous coming up to this again...

Mostly because I've got to mess about with taxis a lot (unless anyone can offer me any of the following lifts-from station/to Premier Travel Inn/to station-it would be seriously appreciated)...

Still looking forward to everything though!

[Charity]

I'm sure Ikkie can offer such BB, he is having issues with getting on line.

He would also like to know how much food to ask for... apparantly my call of 'All of it' wasn't very helpful ...
He recons if he asks for 150 quid it would then work out at a tenner each including the room cost and about 20 of us show up...
I still say all of it.

[Lensman]

Current takers for the Star Wars game seem to be

Last Resort - Cal, the young Jedi
Kureshtin - Canraki, the smuggler

Anyone else interested? Anyone from the last session, please let me know if you still have your character sheets (or if you want to play a new character). Otherwise I'll create new characters.

See you all on Saturday (eeek - it really is that close!)

[Charity]

Hey DD sorry to be a pain, i'm helping Libris out with a paladin just so i know, are we to be underground mostly? (I don't want to give her all mounted feats if she'll never get to use em)

[Timberwolf]

I'd like to come but I may have been booked as it's my mum's birthday on the 7th. This is doubly annoying because I'm only an hour down the M42 in Nuneaton. Well, we'll have to see.

[Charity]

Pah, your mother, what has she ever done for you?
In case you were in any doubt this is entirely in jest.

[Archonic Energy]

*Uses known phone number to triangulate Charity's Location*

Deploy the mind control laser....

:smallwink:

Memo: fix home boradband.

[Dark Dork]

Yeah, it's a dungeon crawl. Use the Paladin PHB2 thing too if you want.

That reminds me, I need to tighten my boradband.

[Sir_Norbert]

Have fun, everyone! Sorry I can't be there, but when it gets to a minute past midnight, do take a moment to wish me a happy birthday please ;)

[Exachix]

Urm guys... It's tomorrow.

So, can I ask, that someone, can I get a lift from Longbridge Station?

I mean, it may only be a mile to walk, but I don't want to get lost on the way ^.^.

[Charity]

I'm getting a lift down... up with Ikkie, I'm sure he will give you a lift from the station... when are you getting to the station?
Actually we are going up tonight, well this afternoon to get some early drinking in, I imagine you'll need a number to call.

[BrokenButterfly]

Wow this is really lucky, I'm heading in to Longbridge Station tomorrow morning as well. If there's car space I'd definitely appreciate the lift...please can you PM me any details to arrange something if possible?

[Dark Dork]

Dear lord I hope there's a table big enough. And a plug socket near it. And free wireless internet. I guess I'm going to have to make some compromises but I hope I we don't have to resort to the old Put-the-dungeon map-on-top-of-a-PH-balanced-on-your-knees arrangement.

LR33 is not responding to any of my messeges at all and I'm relying on him for a lift. There's supposed to be a D&D session tonight but I cancelled it. I hope he doesn't drive all the way from York to a non-existant session.

Nope, I'm here but I'm having trouble finding the time to do anything at all. I need more days in a week and more hours in a day.

[Kantur]

Just about to head into town now to starrt the long journey down (Though it has the plus side of I can get my essay drafts done for my exam....And finish fleshing out minor details for Masquerade...)

So see you all tomorrow!

[Exachix]

Wow this is really lucky, I'm heading in to Longbridge Station tomorrow morning as well. If there's car space I'd definitely appreciate the lift...please can you PM me any details to arrange something if possible?

What Time will you get there?

Me is thinking about 11:26. Although that can be altered.

[Jontom Xire]

Aaarrgghh. Why didn't anyone tell me about this? Way too late to stick it in my calendar now! I have places I've arranged to be now, and almost ended going to the Sky Broadcasting Christmas party except I cancelled that for another appointment tomorrow.

Is there a meet-up sign-up thread I can put my name on to be notified of every meet-up that we'll ever have in the UK? Sort of like the werewolf central that people put their names on to be notified when new games start?

Shall I start one?

[Timberwolf]

Well, if I come then it'll be completely unannounced, last minute thing.

Ie, don't expect me.

[Last_resort_33]

Aaarrgghh. Why didn't anyone tell me about this? Way too late to stick it in my calendar now! I have places I've arranged to be now, and almost ended going to the Sky Broadcasting Christmas party except I cancelled that for another appointment tomorrow.

By the looks of it, it seems that there's going to be one every 6 months or so. All you have to do is to check FB every month or so and there shouldn't be a problem

[Dark Dork]

@LR33: Phone me when you get back from work or whenever's convienient cos my parents are nagging me to hammer down the details. I'm not sure they trust your driving abilties about recent events jk :smalltongue: I know it'll be fine.
*removes "write will" post-it note from forehead*
:smallbiggrin:

[BrokenButterfly]

What Time will you get there?

Me is thinking about 11:26. Although that can be altered.

I'm getting there at roughly the same time, 11:15 I think...but I don't have the details to hand right now.

[Castaras]

...I had a link to this thread in my sig a while ago...Saying "UKitp Meetup! Where? Birmingham! When? 8th December!"...<.< >.>

Edit: And only just realised now that it's still there...Put it in middle of November I think...

[Totally Guy]

See you tomorrow guys.

I might see if I can create a fake avatar and user name for my little brother then he'll be asking if anyone recognises him and try to catch you out.:smalltongue: Probably not. I've not seen him in ages and it depends how bored we get this evening.

I'm still at work so I've got a long drive now. And I've got to load the car. I'm staying away from Leeds where I am now for the next week so I've got to remember to bring work shirts and all sorts, I'm in Birmingham on business Tuesday/Wednesday so it's worked out sort of conveniently for me again.

[The_Librarian]

We're aiming to get there about 12pm (hey, I like my Saturday lie-in).

I failed at making a badge but the wolf'll be with me and I have a bracelet with my username on it - hope that'll do! :smallwink:

[Hawkeye]

Well, if you see a person who doesn't know if he's in the right place it'll be me...

[Castaras]

Wheeeee. That was fun. :smallbiggrin:

*Elan runs around everywhere*

*touches his nose*

*runs in and kills :mitd:*

*contributes to the death of Xykon* I'm participating! :smallbiggrin:

We so need to do that again. And again. And again.

[Exachix]

And Again? and Again? =P

Sorry I had to go when I did, Thanks to Ikke for the lifts =).

Thanks to AE for all the wonderfulness of killing roy. :smallfurious:

[Castaras]

And Again? and Again? =P

Of course! :smallbiggrin:

[The_Librarian]

That was awesome - my thanks to DarkDork, my man at arms (Charity) and the hired help :smallwink: and to Kantur for looking after my character when I had to go.

Paladins are awesome. Why did no one tell me this before?

And why did nobody say that clerics can throw undead, skeletal chimeras down wells?

And why did nobody warn me that goblins are smart enough to push the paladin into the spike pit? (ow)

That was a brilliant game :smallbiggrin:

[Dragor]

Hope you all had a good time.

I spent all day moping around town with my girlfriend, miserably Christmas shopping. :smallfrown:

Ah well. Maybe, just maybe, I'll be able to make the next one.

Maybe. :smallbiggrin:

[BrokenButterfly]

Just got back home after having a fantastic time.

Thanks a lot to everyone who helped me out at the meet and all the people who brought games along as well.

Looking forward to the next one already...

[Charity]

Home again, home again jiggidy jigg.

Just a few thanks.

Cheers for the game DD, it was a blast, and to the players as it would never has been as much fun without you all.
Special thanks to Ikkie for the lift matey, and the tour of Brum, and for organising the whole affair... and for providing the comedy transport. nyuk nyuk.

We had a very strange occurance on the way home, I'm a bit spooked still, I shall give more detail later.

[Last_resort_33]

That was great fun guys.

The venue was brilliant.

We do however need more time... I suggest going for a two dayer in the summer.

Possibly with a trader on one of the days?

Possibly advertise it as running in tandom with a GitP "fringe" games do for not Gitpers?

don't know, I'd like to get as many people for as long as possible...

does anyone have any ideas for making the next one even more cool?

The venue was great by the way!

[zombie chick]

well just got back and i have to say i loved that gaming weekend! it was great to see everyone from the last meet up and to meet some new people.

i still cant believe that OOTS game went on for over 7 hours! and half of that was trying to find the stairs to Xykons secret lair. Still durken and elan managed to vanquish him in the end. Darn that adventure card where we all had to touch our noses!
playing V was fun but i have never been much of a magic user, im more used to being the meatshield. Speaking of which, poor Roy! Gettting backstabbed over and over again by Hailey. And not to mention Belkar doing hid fair share of that too:smallsmile:
shame i couldnt stay for longer, but it was a fantastic day and i cant wait for the next one next year.

Ikki - if you let me know how to repay you for the food i wil lbe happy to

[Exachix]

Yes poor ROY (:roy:) being ganged up on by HALEY. (:haley:)

>=P.

It was fun anyway.

Did anyone take pictures?!

[Totally Guy]

Really it was a reunion more than an actual meetup, as most of us had already met before. At least that's how it felt to me.

I brought my camera but didn't feel the need to take pictures. In fact I don't think anybody did. I took pictures when I visited my 10 day old niece today.:smallsmile:

What was the count? 15? There were 6 in DnD and oots took 6 too. There were 3 on the other table, what activities were going on there?

I don't think I'll ever use a travel-lodge again. Their over-selling rooms policy is laughable.

[Lensman]

We select three were engaged in vast quantities of Munchkin, (straight, Star and Bites), as well as deep involvement in major agricultural policy (or Bohnanza, the game of growing beans, to you lesser mortals!). We would have played Zombies! - but no one had brought the rules. Something for the next meet-up!

[Castaras]

Nobody brought the zombie rules? Shame...That's the second time that's happened...Third time lucky, maybe? :smalltongue:

[Last_resort_33]

Despite being a cleric, :durkon: is a dwarf. It took a heck of a long time for anyone to realise how much loot I had amassed.

I might bring the rules to zombies next time. If you're nice to me...

Charity: What actually happened on the way home?

[Dark Dork]

I was told to bring zombies even though we hadn't found the rules in the off chance someone might have memorized them.
Great game of D&D we had, sorry to be so rushing towards the end, the extra player made combat take just a little longer than I anticipated.
That woman in the travelodge was Lolsome.

[BrokenButterfly]

*Rages at lack of Zombie rules*

I did have fun hanging out in a little trio playing smaller games, but I felt that this meetup might have been a bit too dominated by the two games? (D&D and OotS)

Last meet there was a lot of switching of games, and I felt that more people got to do more things than this time. It would have been nice to have played a few more games with people I didn't get a chance to, but there's always next time :smallsmile:

Might give D&D a go too, that dungeon crawl (?) looked pretty cool...

I agree totally. We all knew that D&D would be like that, but OOTS was meant to take less than half the time. That's why I reckon that we should go for two days next time. Have all the long games on one day and all the shorter games on another.

I like the idea of doing a weekend meet instead of a single day event. It would improve the chances of people being able to make it (double the days, half the chances of existing commitments getting in the way), as you could show up for just the one day if you wanted to and still have a good time.

How about trying to set it around a Bank Holiday? Then people who stay over could stay the weekend and head out on the Monday...

People are more likely to have existing commitments on bank holidays methinks

[Archonic Energy]

*fixes Broadband*

Yay i'm back!

I'd like to thank Ikk for organising the weekend
I'd also like to thank Ikk for Driving
and i'd finally like to thank Ikk for showing me his home town.

so... next time London? :smalltongue:

[Last_resort_33]

so... next time London? :smalltongue:

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH

[Archonic Energy]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH

i think i broke him....

it was worth it!

[Castaras]

Hehe. Poor LR.

And a two day thing sounds cool...although I'd most likely be there for only one of the two...

Hehehe...We only just had this last meetup, and now we're starting to talk about the next one? :smalltongue: :smallbiggrin:

[Exachix]

I would try to be there for as long as I can.

And not London, please?

[Archonic Energy]

Hehehe...We only just had this last meetup, and now we're starting to talk about the next one? :smalltongue: :smallbiggrin:

just like last time.

and why not London it's so much more civilised than the barren north...

*hides*

on a slightly more serious note. anywhere south of the wall is fair game.

The question is, which wall.

I really liked the venue we had this time, however I would be better able, and very eager to organise a lot more things if it was closer to here. I am living in York right now, but Leeds ain't a bad city for it, especially if we can find a better room.

Sounds like a plan... well part of a plan at least...

[Castaras]

July 12th/13th would be bad for me...I go to Paris with my school on the 12th...don't come back 'til the 16th...

Weekend before or the weekend after would be good for me, as far as I know...

*shakes head*

[Castaras]

*grins* Mum and dad I started paying for the trip in Octoberish time. Knew about it from around September.

Hypocrite. :smalltongue:

In that case 19th/20th sounds like a better idea.

[Castaras]

Yeah.

I'll poke Lensman sometime to this thread again, see what he thinks. But 19th/20th sounds good to me.

[Archonic Energy]

Yeah.

there'll ba a new thread soon....

[Castaras]

Then I'll poke him to the next thread. :smalltongue:

[Totally Guy]

Yeah, make sure we have a date in the thread title because then the others will notice us and post encouraging messages. This thread had no date so nobody outside our little circle wandered in to say yay.

[Lensman]

Yeah.

I'll poke Lensman sometime to this thread again, see what he thinks. But 19th/20th sounds good to me.


1. Oww! Stop poking me!

2. I don't think. I've given up thinking because it was making my head hurt.

3. A two-day meet-up could be difficult for me - I have work and family commitments. I can't give up work because I have to pay for Castaras to go to Paris... And giving up the family ... hmmm, giving up Castaras... Perhaps this isn't such a bad idea... But one or other day is okay - at present, I've nothing booked for that weekend.

4. Venue. Definitely no further north than Leeds, preferably further south. Brum worked well - I'd be quite happy to go back to the Oak Tree. As regards London... well, let's just say that my experience (and I was brought up in London) is that there is nothing remotely resembling civilisation inside the M25 (and yes, speaking as a lawyer, I am expressly including the Royal Courts of Justice within that comment!)
