Revision as of 02:50, 28 February 2008

This page is for discussion of stuff related to the game coming up this week, no matter when that actually is. For instance, we can all assume Nate isnt coming for some lame reason and that Ed is sick of pizza and is bringing teriyaki or some other crap. They can post something here if that happens to be untrue.

Attendance and Food Preference

2/29/08

--Edmiao 13:54, 23 February 2008 (MST) 50% chance to attend. won't know until friday night.

GABE: 25% I won't be there, unsure as of yet.

--Dieter the Bold 16:07, 25 February 2008 (MST) Getting a root canal on Thursday. So, 100% chance of being physically present, but 25% chance of being mentally absent.

Ranting and raving or other random comments

--Jason 14:25, 22 February 2008 (MST)Check this shit out: http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/PDF/pr-2008-GamesWorkshop-Sabertooth.pdf

GABE: Wow, thats pretty cool. Fantasy Flight are the people who make Twilight Emperium and stuff right? Their boards games are pretty good with nice pieces, this could be very cool then.

--Jason 23:06, 22 February 2008 (MST)Come one, come all, and worship the RPG God that is me. I just bought two giant boxes (100 books) of roleplaying books. Yes, you read that correctly. Sure, I am $500 poorer, but I am a better person for it. Or, at least I keep telling myself that.

GABE: Early Christmas? Anyway, this FFG announcement is pretty exciting, just please don't make it D20. But they said they wanted to continue the smash hit game that is DH, so here is to hoping. Also really hoping we see some new board games based on WH.

GABE: So I was thinking, would anyone be interested in a WH40K one shot? It would be pre-gen characters with a bit of customization (you get some exp to spend). And yes the characters would be Acylites. I know Matt I think you were thinking of running a 40K game, and trust me I'd much rather be a player in a 40K rpg but I thought it might be a nice way to check out the system. Would anyone be interested? (This would of course be a week or 2 or 3 out.)

Other Non-RPG gaming Events

Weekly Magic Whining/Complaining/Smack Talking

--Brandon 14:07, 23 February 2008 (MST) So, is there any possibility of a Sunday evening/night Magic session? Ben, when are you going to be back in town? I also think Monday night might work.

--Jason 14:33, 23 February 2008 (MST)If its Monday I have a shot at attending.

--Brandon 12:19, 24 February 2008 (MST) Let's aim for Monday night. If no one else responds here by tonight, I'll try to make some calls.

GABE: Sure Monday works for me, although guess it'd be too much to ask to have it here?

BEN: I will be busy from 6 to about 10 pm. As such, I'd only likely participate if it was at my place, once I got back. Obviously, I can't host earlier than 10, which is too late to start on a weeknight, so if y'all want to play here, you'll need to work that out with Dieter.

GABE: Yeah 10 is kinda lato for meo. So uh, we not doing Monday? Wed works for me too.

--Brandon 23:17, 24 February 2008 (MST) I've got a car after 6 tomorrow, and would be interested pretty much regardless of the time. If Dieter's interested, it might make sense to start a bit earlier and maybe still be playing when Ben arrives. So, if Dieter's in, let's do it. If not, let's scrap it. Gabe, I could give you a ride, if that affects anything.

GABE: Well I've got work early, gotta try to get at least six or seven hours of sleep, so if we are gonna start/go late I'll just miss this time. Besides I don't even have a new deck ready, d'oh!

--Brandon 12:24, 25 February 2008 (MST) I'll be in the neighborhood of BnD on Wednesday, and will be free at 8:30, so Wednesday is an option for me as well.

--Dieter the Bold 16:12, 25 February 2008 (MST) Should be home by 8:30pm on Wednesday. Putting in some OT this week to cover upcoming expenses.

GABE: Hmm I think I can do Wed, I may have to leave by 10 though, or... 10:30ish.

BEN: I'm at gymnastics from 9-11 on Wednesdays...sorry guys.

--Brandon 14:09, 26 February 2008 (MST) So, do you guys (Gabe, Dieter, others?) want to play tomorrow, even if Ben is off doing back flips? Starting at 8:30-8:45ish, and going until 10-10:30ish? And, if all goes swimmingly, we might be having so much fun that we'll still be at it when Ben gets home, and the night will quickly deteriorate into a drunken shambles that will spill out into the streets, and Dieter will awaken on Thursday to realize that his dental woes were solved by our revelry so that he will not have to take a hit to the cabbage roll! Bonus points if someone (Gabe?) is able to give me a ride home.

GABE: Sure, though I really do have to leave 'round 10, 10:20. Gotz to get my sleep on. That said yeah I can give you a ride home, hope that is okay if Noelle comes?

--Brandon 01:04, 27 February 2008 (MST) Cool. It's totally great if Noelle comes, as long as she's open to the possibility of drunken dentistry in the streets. So, we're on as long as we get the ok from Dieter, it being at his house and all.

--Gdaze-- *thumbs up* I'm already not wearing pants! Well Dieter did say he would be back by 8:30, but no word on if its totally cool...

--Dieter the Bold 14:25, 27 February 2008 (MST) I be cool, but not interested in a whole night of Magic. I might be good for an hour or so, although ya'll are welcome to go longer. Should still be home by 8:30.

--Brandon 14:37, 27 February 2008 (MST) Excellent. I'll see you all around 8:40 tonight.

BEN: I'm going to skip my gymnastics class tonight: I've had pulled muscles every week after soccer, and this week I'm just not feeling like doing half the things I want to do at the gym because of that. So instead I'm going to be a lazy bastard and play magic with y'all. see you tonight.

The Next Step in WHFRP Reboot

WHFRP Reboot Recap

--Matts 17:04, 27 February 2008 (MST)So what's everyone's plan now? World events are moving, and action will soon be a neccesity...

--Edmiao 22:36, 27 February 2008 (MST) missed the last wfrp. anyone care to fill in the recap? are we on wfrp this week? still not sure if i'll be there, of course. btw, the snow in keystone is freakin awesome. great skiing.

BEN: last week, there was the fireworks show. More importantly, steward Rausch announced that Freifocker had golbfahren killed to make the town more law abiding. So we're off the hook for that one. To follow that up, Sheng went and killed the old head of the corrupt militia, and hopefully recruited some of his old lackeys. The town also got attacked by a strange barbarian with a really nice axe: he was part of salud-al-din's army, which has recently broken through the southern wall and invaded the border princes, on a bee-line for Altdorf. We captured the dude at some cost to our mercenaries, but still haven't figured out what exactly is up with him. Ignotus' plans (detailed below) relate largely to this. That's all I can remember...other people can fill in.

Ignotus Plans:

1.) if any of the militia come back to kreutzhofen, Ignotus will let judah take any of them into the watch he wants: all the rest will form the start of a labor gang ignotus needs for his plans for kreutzhofen: they will be paid.

2.)Ignotus will hire the best stone mason, the best engineer, and the most veteran soldier WITH siege experience in the region, at the going rate (he's got 72gc to work with): their task, between the three of them, is to make Kreutzhofen, AND both the pass to the border princes and to bretonnia defensible: to start they will have the militia goons to do preliminary gopher work, with more to come when the plans are laid.

3.)Ignotus will tell holly fuchs to propose, in the council, that all able bodied men between the ages of 16-45 undergo military training under Judah to make sure the city is well prepared. At the same time, he will tell Sheng to get the word "on the street" that everybody should sign up for this, since he might have use for trained people at some point in the future in his lucrative gang. Ignotus will tell Judah to commandeer the guns from Gunther's house, and that if he wants, Sheng will train the most able bodied men that he's got to use them. Sheng's instructions, of course, will include wooing these men with women, booze, and his winning personality to become loyal to him, for future use.

4.)Ignotus will also suggest that holly and the other council members, and/or any merchants, buy up as much easily storable/non-perishable food and stores of clean water as would sustain the town for 6 months. if she is hesitant, he will point out that he has contacts that will likely be able to resell the goods at a profit in short order if the town is not under threat.

5.)Lamprecht drucker is to get the word out that the pious and the brave should see him if they want to do something to save sigmar's holy realm. Anyone who comes to him is to be sent to kreutzhofen.

6.)Ignotus will also woo the priest of the local temple...he will ask the priest to give rousing sermons, and that if men come from out of town, that he should get them "psyched up" for making holy war against the infidel, ie, working for food and lodging rather than pay to get a force to protect kreutzhofen ready.
