Revision as of 10:53, 6 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.

GABE: Soooo, would anyone be interested in some Heroscape? Not this week of course. But would anyone be down? I got a nice big table we can use. Weekdays are fine too. I was also thinking maybe a Sunday.
GABE: What, no more love for Heroscape???
--Edmiao 10:12, 5 February 2008 (MST) Anyone up for some board games this weekend? Gabe? Cheryl's itchin to play Puerto rico. I could probably con her into half puerto rico and half heroscape.
BEN: Kim and I might be interested...not sure yet.
JASON: Depending on time Rumi and I may want to do this. I have a ton of new games to try as well. And as for Heroscape, even though I havent tried it yet, once I get my board set up (and now that I have my truck back its any day) you guys can use it anytime. Its 4x8 and I have a ton of terrain.
GABE:Sweet, I got a big ol'table as well although seating may be a problem... Um that aside if we want to do heroscape I'd like to do it at my place to just so you know, don't have to spend time putting the board together. And yeah I'm down this weekend.
--Edmiao 12:49, 5 February 2008 (MST) sweet. we'll plan for at Gabe's new place this weekend. any preference for Saturday or Sunday? either is fine for Cheryl and I.
Who is Rumi?
GABE: I believe that would be Jason's new woman, although not really that new. Okay sounds good... um this sounds ghetto but if you have like 2 folding chairs to bring it'd be good... I only have 2 chairs with maybe one more coming for this weekend.
JASON: Gabe would be correct. She likes games and stuff.
GABE: Coo', so like Saturday or Sunday works fine for me, I ain't doing nuttin' this weekend. I guess Sunday would work okay if that is alright with everyone else? Saturday is all cool too. Oh, I just got the 40k rp, seems pretty cool over-all though I'm not seeing rules for the floating head servators, lame.
--Edmiao 15:23, 5 February 2008 (MST) Is she the one from Portland that we met at ben's that last time?
JASON: No, that would be Amy. She and I go way back.
GABE:So has for gaming, will Sunday work for people? I'm most likely taking Monday off next week JUST CUZ. So if Sunday works lets shoot for that. Otherwise, let me know.
Regarding the 40k RPG, I must say it looks really cool. Granted the career system isn't around any more but their new method is pretty neat, it reminds me of a level up system from a console rpg. Basically you buy advances and once you spend a certain amount of exp you become the next rank. You can buy any advance in your current rank or any rank you've held. Also each career forks in it so you can go down certain paths. One thing that is new is that raising charateristics now has become more expensive. Your starting career determines how much each advance costs, an example is 250 for the first +5%, then 500, then 750, etc. It seems expensive but then you realize that you should be getting 200 exp per sesson.
Two things I'm disappointed about is they don't have the skull drones or the people who are pumped out on drugs and cybernetics that were in the previous book. Also the equipment section is kinda small.
