Scott, you can keep the $5 off next entry fees you were gonna give me for the SWM rare. You let me play for free. Plus, it's less to remember.

Happy Monday!

New D&D Group starting - players wanted! Matt Lane is going to start a group to play either on Wednesdays or Thursdays (depending on availability). He's posted a notice on our bulletin board, and I thought I'd mention it here. Jory, Tyler, are you guys still wanting to play?

Also this week:
Weds: AAM on wednesday - is anyone interested anymore? D&D RPGing.
Thursday: DDM 500 points epic
Friday: Boardgame club - Settlers History of Rome or Skullduggery
Saturday: SWM 100 points, DDM League!

That's not necessary.  You can play Thurs for free, or Saturday for the whopping big sum of $1.

Not getting enough D&D in your life? Know someone new wanting to try it out?

This Friday is your chance with my WotC Delegate demo, starting at 6 PM. Characters and minis provided, all you need to bring is yourself.

I have 5 dice sets to give out along with other prizes.

See you all there.

League does indeed resume this Saturday at 1 PM with the 9th session. It's still not too late for new player's to join in on the fun or for old ones to make a move in the standings.

After this session the botton third of the league will once again have a chance to replace their commanders for a new one should they so choose.

The Gameday link says that Application for Gameday are now closed.

I guess that means I'm out.

That's for stores to run the events.

The general public just has to show up to one of those locations and play. The more the merrier.

Just trying to match up DMs and players alike.  GameKnight - your RPG lavalife connection!

I know we have some displaced players since the group shrank from the last campaign.  Matt is my new guy who wants to DM the "Worlds Largest Dungeon".  Since the other Mike folded his group, there is room for another.  Actually at one point before Mike folded there was enough players for a 3rd group.

And there is another guy, Jeramy, who wants to start an RPG group for Saturdays here, but something other than D&D.  Possibly "Mage" (by whitewolf), or Shadow-run, or something else.

Aaaannnnnd......(will it stop) Jay was talking of getting Star Wars RPG going again on Fridays.  More details to come on this one.

I wonder if Jay has seen this?

http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=starwars/article/dodcampaign


It looks interesting, and the adventures don't require RPGA stuff, although you can use RPGA rules if you want to, and report them to earn rewards.

I'm interested in doing starwars again.

As am I and Jay has.

We discussed it the other night. He's either thinking of going with that adventure path or the plots from the previous campaign he didn't get to use.

Although I'd love to, school would be getting in the way too much. Which leaves the door open for Jory.

Hello,

Seems that I have missed out on quite a bit lately; the perils of having work for a living all over the province.

Well, I will be back for league, both sessions this month.  Still debating if I can make if for part of the Pre-release, but I can make D&D Game Day.

Beer Baron, need any DMs for Game Day?  I can volunteer if you do need chairs filled.

Cheers

Yes, please!

I haven't put out a call for DMs yet, so consider this it.  If anyone is able to DM on Saturday November 3rd, I do need volunteers to help make the day a success.  There will be swag to give away, and I always make sure my DMs get their fair share.

So post here, or talk to me and I'll make sure i write it down (and I'll write it down somewhere I remember too).

Hey all, once again the reports of my untimely demise have been overly exaggerated.

Ok first a bit of SWRPG info. We would play on Friday nights, two weeks in a row and then take two weeks off. As for the number of players, I’m looking at 4 maybe a 5th but that’s the max. Now for a start date, I’m looking towards the later part of November.
Work Schedule pending of course.

And secondly, this Friday I was wondering if anyone would be interested in having a game of “Original” Axis & Allies.

"Well maybe Mr. T hacked the game and created a Mohawk class! Maybe Mr. T is handy with computers! Had that ever occurred to you Mr. condescending Director!"

10/16/2007 8:36 AM  
With my Sunday D&D group now meeting on Fridays, I won't be able to do Star Wars for a few weeks at least. Once we sort out what day we're playing on, I may be available. I'd like to play that's for sure. It's the "when" I'm having difficulty with.

So if 5 is the limit, don't save a spot for me. If time allows I'll play a guest spot (maybe a villian or reckless hero).

As to Axis and Allies, how about saving that for the next boardgame club night? That way it won't interfer with MJ's demo, and I can get it on the schedule to help get more players.

In the cayegory of Ladder League news the original plan was to run the 11th session on November 17th but as there could be a potential conflict with the Force Unleashed release event we had moved it up to the 10th of November.

Sadly as it turns out the 10th doesn't work for me as it's my mother's 70th birthday and we're having a big party in Brandon so I won't even be arround. Thus I've been forced to juggle the schedule again.

There will only be one League session in November as a result on the 29th. The 12th and final session has been moved to the same week on that Saturday December 1st.

Not ideal but having the 2 final sessions in the same week could make for some interesting play dynamics.

We still need ideas for DDM and SWN themes for December, keep them coming.

The plot thickens. If the final session is on December 1st, the title of league champion will be wide open.

Hopefully everyone can make it out for that Saturday.

Which reminds me I need to throw together a League warband for this Saturday.....

It's good to hear some people are going to make it out for the league sessions. The more the merrier.

Beer Baron, are you going to be able to order in the Battle of Hoth scenario pack? I'm thinking playing that out could be a good theme game for SWM in December.

Hoth scenario pack you say? Hmmm...must talk to my delegate about that one. Last to know I am.

I can't see why I can't, if it is a WOTC product I should be able to.

From what I understand in the US it's a Target only exclusive.

http://swmgamers.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=7438

http://www.sithclan.net/SC4/accueil/index.php?template=black_html&id=11108

It releases at the end of November. I'm not sure how it's being distributed in Canada which is why I asked earlier if you could get it.

Looks to be a great set. From what I've gathered the MSRP will be about $60 give or take. Good value considering the rares you get. Who doesn't want the exclusive Holographic General Veers.

Me, actually....but I do want the AT-ST and the Vader (which looks to be the one from the A&E set without the square base)....I'm sure I can make use of all the troopers and the Tauntaun in there too...

BTW, I just bought my weekend pass for the Manitoba Comic Con, and I really want to know when to be there for the gaming...(Sunday?)
