| | It just occured to me that beer club is starting in September, and we didn't put it on the schedule. I haven't heard from the executive as to when and where yet. I'll expect the first meeting will be here on Sept 5th. I'll email them to see if I can get a straight answer though. If so, can we put off the start until the 12th? I hate to miss the first session. | |

| I've just confirmed Beer club for September 5th.
Options could be:
1) take a week off for a break
2) squeeze in at the table upstairs, play anyway
3) go for ribs, roll dice at Montana's (could be a character generating/meeting session, or a bonus epilogue session for the Shadowdale light fellowship)
4) meet at Nico's, and BBQ Garrets racoon
5) Squeeze in at table upstairs for mini painting night to get figures ready for the campaign. I can donate my paints for the night.
As tempting as #4 is, I'm watching my weight and racoon is high in cholesteral. Plus I'm out for beer club. I vote for option #1, or #5. | |

| I like the dagger behind the back as he motions you forward!
I will take a look at the minis Scott and see if there is one i like
for the rogue ape.
Do we want to get a ship???
I'd buy it for the group! | |

| My place is fine the BBQ is full but not christened this summer yet
cause I was gone so long.
My vote is for everything other than #1 ; but that is OK if necessary.
I wouldn't mind Mikes KD dinner - I still have some of his left ingedients.
I'd spring for some of the BBQ meet rather than the raccoon.

| Are there any Hadozee minis?
Or apish/monkey mini???
Tons of great looking minis there Mike and Scott.
Esp the peg leg guys and hooked hands and stuff.
I like a lot of the rogue ones you posted me but none
are of the stupid monkey variety!!! | |

| I'll trust your judgement on decent monkeys. I wouldn't want to look bananas
Do you think you could get the top two minatures Scott??? Hell if you can get them
order all three. I really like the 1st and middle ones.
Any plans for food tomorrow??? | |

| Catching up on all of the threads I have fallen behind on.
I would be OK with missing September 5th and then starting the following week. I have been snowed under with work the past week and I will be working through this weekend and the long weekend without a break. A night off would be a welcome relief so that I can actually finish up my new character.
Speaking of which ...
I am not going to be a Mongrefolk thank you very much.
Human Wizard, young and intelligent, but perhaps not as people saavy as he should be. That is about as far as I have gotten so far. I think stats will go as follows, but I am still toying with a few ideas:
Str - 12
Dex - 13
Con - 15
Int - 18
Wis - 16
Chr - 11
That's all for now.
Cheers

| There, you get to be human. Satisfied?
So that makes 2 humans, a hadozee, a dwarf, and an aasimar currently. Not too shabby on the diversity front. Should be a pretty melee tough group as well.
If anyone needs some help with their characters or ideas for them let me know.
I think we'll take the 5th off to give everyone time to finish their characters, paint a minis, or just take a break.

| I am up for a painting night on the 5th if people still want to meet.
We can see Scotty and the Beer club in action!
Any idea if you can get any of those mini's quoted from Mikey there Scott - possibly
in time for painting on the 5th??? No worries if you can't.
Fish and Chips sounds good. I should stop at the bank before GM I guess.

We did change his diet, marginally, pun intended.
But he still had to go for the baconator though.
Hoping it is out of his system - but - it is in the vein isn't it | |

| You know when nico gets back to his own computer since his maxminis login name changes. 
And for shame on people for needing an extra week to make characters. They've already had like a month. | |

| All in all an excellent deal. I was prepared to go as high as $300 Cdn.
i think the American and Canadian dollar are on Par now so nearly $151
plus shipping I guess.
Done deal, lets order it now so we can get it ready! It says some
assembly required and painting. If it got here fast enough we could
start painting and assembling the day Scott is missing.
Yes I am absolutely serious! Lets get it unless there is a better one! | |

| Nah, I am but a humble ape. Plus if you read the Hadozee description - and the background story I have planned -
Captain of anything other than a dingy is out. I would appreciate a lot of help prepping the boat though cause;
well you don't want it left in my non-experienced hands . Paint by numbers
Too bad we don't have a sail, rigging or a crowsnest. Anything we can do about that.
We don't even know if Scott can order this. Hey, there arn't any lifeboats?????  | |

| I sat up until 2 am last night and have 2 pages of background. It's only half finished, so when I get home tonight I'll try to get it done and posted.
I'll be looking into the requested items shortly. It's second on the to-do list today. | |

| Could be a good grudge match shaping up in the first round of the tournament Thursday, Nico's Dwarves vs Rob's Orcs.
As with the previous campaign I'll give a bonus to players who beat other players involved in the league, for now each victory will equal a Potion of Cure Light Wounds. | | | |

This one was cool too, I'll order this next time.

| Len says if someone will phone the Chinese Order in early he will pick it up
with me after he finishes work shortly after 5 p.m. Ideally I think he said he could
pick the Chinese up at 5:20 p.m. tomorrow.
I don't know who you ordered from, how much time it took etc. I figure if you guys
do the samething then you know how much time and when to phone it in. I wasn't
here so I don't know. Does that sound like a plan? Does anyone want to volunteer to
phone it in early???
Len needs to know either way I think. Mind you couple people I think can't show up
until 6 p.m. but it could be there waiting when you walk in.
What do you think???
