Revision as of 13:08, 12 June 2007
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.

Ben: The one shot was good: it was a fun adventure with a good amount of creepiness without being over the top. The characters were fun too. We also played the Dune board game, which to my eye is like a vastly more violent version of settlers (albeit with significantly less play testing): I think it's a game that is designed to be played by 5-6 at once, though. Once we made some minor adjustments (as in, once we decided that somebody winning in the first round was dumb) the game was pretty fun.
as I've also mentioned to some people: the "lesser shades of evil" game I bought is pretty cool: I may use it to run a one shot sometime, or, if Matt or Jason don't start running something more permanent, I may advocate for a game using this system/setting (fancy that, ben wanting to run a system/setting "as is"). I'm almost done with the book, so if other people want to look at it, I can pass it around on Friday next. In terms of what it's like, I'd say it's got a mix of our PA game, the rifts supplement "wormwood", and the game "in nomine".
speaking of which, as far as I understand it, Dieter's place is still free this upcoming friday, and Jeremy has volunteered his place as a regular gaming abode, so I assume we'll be at one of those places. I'm also assuming we're playing Gemini: in case anyone forgot/was absent, we ended the session with your psycho-navigator falling unconscious out of his chair and alarms going off warning of a catastrophic overheating problem.

Dune BITCHES!!!!!
So Im almost done reading Dune, and since you jokers are playing in a space game I thought you might be interested in the following activity. I have purchased the David Lynch version of Dune, and the Sci Fi Channel Dune and Children of Dune miniseries'. My plan is to have a megaDune marathon some weekend day. Skippy got a new super huge HD widescreen tv, and it would be perfect for this event. Anyone who wishes to attend is invited. If interested, let me know what day would work best. Also, I got the Dune boardgame (won it, hasnt arrived yet), so I have included quite possibly the bestestest board game review EVAR!!1 [1]
--67.183.132.220 23:51, 26 May 2007 (MST)My house is probably too messy but I am up for a Dune event if someone else can host. I know its weak, I kinda suck.
--Dieter the Bold 19:37, 30 May 2007 (MST) My dad leaves for Europe on Thursday June 07. So we're welcome to game at my place that Friday and the Friday afterwards (6/15). We're also welcome to watch Dune and BBQ here (if someone has a BBQ to bring) that weekend or the weekend after. I also own the big tin box David Lynch Dune and my dad owns the SciFi miniseries of Dune. Anyhoo, just thought I'd throw that out there. The only downside is that parking is a bit tight. It's an apartment complex with very little visitor parking and nothing really good close by. This could be worked out, though.
