[Castaras]

Order of the Stick Game I can bring, if needed.

Munchkin original I could bring.

Umm...other weird boardgameish things we have...

[banjo1985]

Ooo I didn't know there was any kind of UK meet up, but sounds like a great idea to me! I'm a reasonable DM, and have a huge selection of Munchkins and other boardgames, a frightening amount if I'm honest!

[Archonic Energy]

ooooo.
new thread smell
*sniff*
mmmmm


so the general consensus was that Brum was ok as a location.
and we were fighting between the 1st & the 8th of Dec.

*hands Lensman & LastResort bat'leths*
to the death gentlemen.

[Lensman]

*hands Lensman & LastResort bat'leths*
to the death gentlemen.

What sort of monster do you think I am? I wouldn't be sadistic enough to attack LR with a bat'leth. After all, he has an electric guitar - far more deadly.

No, I just blast him with my eyebeams...

It seems we have one vote (me) for 1st December, and one vote (the now seriously deceased Last Resort) for 8th December. Any views from anyone else?

(Pauses to resurrect LR-33)

Oh, and I'd be quite happy to inflict another Star Wars scenario on anyone masochistic enough to want to join in!

[Castaras]

Hmm...What way to vote...

I vote Thog.

Or, in other words, I don't mind.

[CurlyKitGirl]

I wouldn't mind coming if I could get transport.
I've never played and therefore don't own any types of DnD/ similar games, but wouldn't mind taking part.
I don't mind which date either.

[KuReshtin]

I vote Glasgow on the 1st of December. Then again, if people want Birmingham to be the venue, I guess I could try to make it there.

I'll be happy to participate in another game of Star Wars if Lensman feels like running another scenario.

Also, another game of Serenity would be awesome if Adlan decides to come along.:)

[Eldred]

Ooo, a new Meetup! I'm not sure if I'd be able to come along though; I live in the Westcountry, which is kind of awkward with travel. Also, depending on the date, I might be at college or something

I'd still love to meet up though!

[Last_resort_33]

*Brushes off 5000gp of diamonds*

Ok... I vote for the 1st then... if I can't remember what it was, then it probably wasn't all that important.

Do I get to keep the bat'leth? I've always wanted one!

[Archonic Energy]

Do I get to keep the bat'leth? I've always wanted one!

ok... just keep it sharpened.

i'm ok with any date... except the 20th to the 4th

[onasuma]

Yay! this time i (might) be able to make it! Either date being fine, parental permission being sorted, but venue matters for me, yet they wont say where would be good.
If i do, ill dm some form of free form game, probably warhammer 40k based if enough people are interessted if not, something else.

[Saithis Bladewing]

Even if I wanted to leave my shadows, I'll be busy this winter. Sorry.

[InaVegt]

*looks around*

I will be going to england this winter, though most likely around new year.

Though, thinking about it, I wouldn't even go if I could.

[Archonic Energy]

Though, thinking about it, I wouldn't even go if I could.

U maked uz cri.


*Slap*

[Last_resort_33]

I dunno people have the impression that meeting people that you know over the internet means either A: you are really sad and can't meet people in real life and B: You are going to get raped.

I can assure you that only A is true (in this case)

Edit:(Deleted remark made in poor taste)

[InaVegt]

are you insinuating that there is something wrong with us UK based forumites?

No, I'm not going to the Dutch meetup either.

Also, fixed your spelling.

[Castaras]

So we've got a few votes for the 1st?

And we're thinking Birmingham...

So the next step...Who's organising the pub?

[Totally Guy]

Awesome, I was living in Birmingham for the first half of this year so I might be able to visit some friends on the day before or after the meetup. And I stand a good chance of not getting lost. By good fortune I knew where the last one was too.

[Exachix]

I will be trying to come to this.

I may bring Munchkin Cthulhu.
I may not.

I may find more games nearer the time and work things out then.

EDIT: I will get my mum to do a shirt with my Avatar on it! *grins*

[Glaivemaster]

I'll very probably be able to make this one. Depending on when university terms begin/end I might even be able to stay with a friend, though I think they're out by that point.

I can bring board game(s), if they're not too chunky, and Magic cards for those who want to play. Can't think of anything else I'd be able to easily bring

[Hoggy]

Hmm.

Hmmmmmmmmmm.

I will be able to drive by then, so if I go, I could give other Westcountrians lifts (I'm looking at you Eldred, and you Curly). But I'm usually quite busy around Christmas with band and stuff. Plus, Birmingham is long way.

HRMMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmm.

[CurlyKitGirl]

Hooray! Possible lift! *goes to check dates*
If my mum says I can go I can make either date providing nothing else comes up.

[Eldpollard]

Well, I'll go to this one. Actually book time off work. It sounds fun. I'll bring a lot of munchkin games.

[Ikkitosen]

Being from Birmingham, and knowing a good pub, and knowing that said pub has a function room, and knowing that said pub allows use of it to gamers (having played there every tuesday night for a coupla months) I suppose I'd better volunteer to look into it. I shall ask about the 1st and 8th of December.

I'm not sure they do food, I shall ask. Then again it's in the middle of England's second city, so popping out for food shouldn't be a problem

Watch this space...

[Death, your friend the Reaper]

*mumble* You better buy me a nice prezzie, or I might turn up to the celebrations


(Best of luck you lucky small island dwellers, take lots of pictures.)

[Last_resort_33]

You're not wanting sacrafice of young virgins AGAIN are you... I've told you I don't HAVE any

If they don't do food, I wonder if we could get a take away, save interupting the gaming!... we could go out I suppose... I can just imagine you phoning up the local indian "I'd like to book a table for thirty please!"

It would seem that Ikki is our Venue Organiser...

[Eldred]

HRMMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Thankyou!!! That'd be great if you can! *hugs*

I've just got to check everything's fine with my parents and stuff.

[Adlan]

KHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!


I have no more holiday this year I must beg my Boss to give me Unpaid Leave. Gaaaaaaah!

Why can't we do this on a sunday (I know why, but still).

If I can make it, I will Come, and I will run another Serenity Game, and I will play the Starwars D6, and then run another serenity game, or maybe I will Play some D&D.

And I vote for getting an Indian. A nice hot curry goes down a treat with Gaming.

Or Maybe a Pizza, do you think they'd do use 4 48" ones, with klatchian Hots?
