Current events
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.

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.)

--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.
GABE: Yup, thats pretty much what happened, one thing of note, the Not-Orc took a LOT of damage before going down. While I think building up a wall is nice and trying to attract soilders, others are doing this as well. Another problem is that a great wall, a very famous wall, already fell to this general. Not saying we shouldn't but something to keep in mind.
Also doesn't ol'Sal use magic?
Anyway, Dementis is on her way to Nordberg or whatever it is called to go meet with the Baroness. Her goal is to forge an alliance between her and the Count. If they allie together they will be posed to take power during the coming battle. Er, AFTER the coming battle. Oh and suggest to use the Border Princes but doubts they will be of much help.
She also has some investigations to do on certain nobles.
