June 07 Game Day

[Dmitri]

If we run on the 3rd Sunday of the month, that will be Father's Day. Is that the plan?

It is fine if we do... I know some people don't spend it with their fathers (out of state, deceased, etc.). But if we do, I won't be there, I have my son that weekend so I can hang with my dad and cookout.

If we decide to do it, I will try to get my character sheet to someone, so that I can still be run that game. Without the cleric, every little bit helps. Whatever we do with XP and loot will be up to you guys, and of course Rince. In the event that I dont' amke it and have someone run my PC, I will abide by whatever they do with him, and whatever happens.

Anyway, just wondering.

I can handle pretty much any shift in the date, so feel free to throw out a differnet date.

Well, we were going to, but with you not being able to come and it being inconvenient for Dragonsrule, maybe it would be best to reschedule it for another day. Possible open days I know of would be the 1st Sunday of the month or the 4th if it doesn't conflict with Olrac's LGG2. Thoughts?

(Oh, and my father's 4,000+ miles away and both my grandfathers are deceased, so Father's Day is basically all about me on my end )

[Tomas]

I like the first because it is sooner. I like the fourth because it is closer to the regular schedule.

If possible, the first weekend works best on my end because my wife's birthday (32nd) is last weekend of June.

If you guys schedule the 1st weekend of june, olrac won't have to run 2 weeks in a row. I can run mine on the same day, and LGG5 ravenloft can be done the night before, if that works with Dmitri

[Rincewind]

OK, looks like the first Sunday in June, Sunday June 3rd, works best for people. Is this ok with everyone?

I don't know if Dimitri needs to change his schedule, his game was scheduled for Saturday night before Father's Day, which wouldn't necessarily cause a problem.

[Rincewind]

Thanks, Tomas, for updating the calendar there, although unfortunately I don't have power to delete the other entry for next month. I guess I'll PM MH about that one.

Anyway, looks like we'll be playing this coming Sunday, the 3rd of June, and the group should be swelling up to 7 people, I believe. The cleric of Fahrvergnügen (hehehe) and Hank the, er, differently-sane semi-murderous bum should be rejoining us, as well as a new character. Well, we just had two disappear abruptly in the dungeon, so I don't think 3 appearing abruptly will be quite as odd as it could be, heh. We should be finishing up the dungeon and maybe getting into some real plot now.

I've updated the campaign history and try to keep it up-to-date, although I'm not always prompt about this. I also made a slight change to the first post to reflect that it's not merely a few minutes to read the whole thing anymore, heh.
Also, Hank has a description in the character history thread, if any other characters don't, they may want to post one.

[Rincewind]

Well, I had some fun, hope you guys did as well. I don't think I'll be using those giants again for a while, they pack quite the whallop. Sorry about knocking 2/3 of the new (or new-ish) members unconscious

Next time will probably be more role-playing and mystery-solving, less battle, so try to read up on the campaign history, at least the parts your character would know. I know it's a lot to do, but it's too hard to recap any other way.

Edit: Oh, and turns out it's a good thing we weren't playing on Father's Day, we just realized yesterday it's also our 7th anniversary. We don't really think about things like that too much.

[Dmitri]

a good time was had by this monk...

glad to see Olrac and Grond, and Chris (do you have a screen name?)

was a good game - and I liked the giants! sometimes i think we dont use our heads when we fight... we have a tendancy to just wail on whatever appears before thinking about the best way to take something down...

[grond]

There was no best way to take that down, and guilty as charged. It's full attack would take someone down either way. But great fun, except for all of the stinking 1s, I had like 10

[Dragonsrule]

Yeah !!!! I don't care what the MMIV says, there is no way that is a CR10 monster. Anything with less than a 30 AC is gonna be torn to shreds, with any decent attack rolls.

[Rincewind]

Well, I think the CR came less from its staying power and more from that it downed a perfectly healthy warrior (Hank) in one round. Sorry, downing the wizard in one hit isn't as impressive
