UKitP meet VII "X-mas/Winter" Sheffield 04/12/10 *UPDATED Nov 23, 2010*

[KuReshtin]

Can I come?

I'd really like to run a game.

But I don't really post here any more... nobody here wants to talk about the same things as me.

GLUG!! How've you been?
Of course you can come. You're one of the regulars.

[Eldpollard]

Ku. No one here is "regular". Delightfully eccentric perhaps.

I'm well. Been galivanting off to the States to attend a forum meet up over there. I met all kind of geek celebrities: Vincent Baker, Luke Crane, Rym & Scott, Zach Weiner and Jared Sorensen.

Have any celebrites signed up to this one?

[Archonic Energy]

Can I come?

Of course you can Glug... it's why i PMed you!

if you do come, and you do run a game tell me so i can put it on the front page

Have any celebrites signed up to this one?

yes, ME!

No one here is "regular". Delightfully eccentric perhaps.

i so need to find space to sig that!

[KuReshtin]

Before Archie can sig it, I'm going to grab it for my sig.

[Irbis]

Ech, I'd like to play in one.

But, with my poor command of the language, it would just make the experience awkward to everyone, so I'll stick to board games.

Anyway, would it be a good idea to bring laptop for a quick late night match, or are such devices verboten?

[Thufir]

Does Jibar count?

What do you mean by a late night match?

[Irbis]

Is that thinly veiled suggestion that there will be no late night activities? :P

[Capt Spanner]

Depending on numbers, it seems likely that some people who aren't staying at mine on Saturday will come back here to play some games after we've been kicked out of The Octagon. I can't, for obvious reasons, issue an open invitation though.

[Thufir]

Actually, I just have no idea what variety of match you may be talking about.

[Totally Guy]

I'll have to have a think about what the game I'll run will be but I'm going to use the Burning Wheel system to do it.

It's got some powerful social conflict resolution mechanics. And all the system parts work together to create some really good play experiences.

[Irbis]

Actually, I just have no idea what variety of match you may be talking about.

Well... considering the nature of this meet, I was thinking some popular classic game, that no one played in long time, to give equal ground.

Doom II (95), maybe, or Duke, or something indie?

With possible publication of mini-LP later.

Assuming they would ran on modern machines, of course.

[Eldpollard]

Before Archie can sig it, I'm going to grab it for my sig.

I believe that's the first time I've been sigged. I should really post more.

[Vampiric]

I'll chime in for Banjo's game, or Glug's, whichever gets run. If both (and at the same time), I'll go for Banjo's, as I've not played those systems before, and have wanted to for a while

[Kobold-Bard]

How far is this place from Sheffield station? Walking distance? Buying tickets today and wondering if the PlusBus thing is worth it.

Only if it works on the tram too. Best way to get there is take the tram.

[Kobold-Bard]

Cool, thanks.

[Totally Guy]

The BW game I want to run should last about 4 hours max. That's way better than the 10+ hours we've had D&D last at other meet ups.

If I get 4 players the game will be about claiming a magic sword. This will probably be shorter... about 2 hours.

If I get more players (up to 8!) the game will be about the Dwarves recieving an envoy of Elven diplomats into their halls. I so want to run this!

[Archonic Energy]

can i politely talk to the evil wizard before the party Rogue starts stabbing him again?

[Kobold-Bard]

Ok ticket booked for Saturday morning.

Now need info about what tram to get and whatnot.

So I'm guessing that means there's space? I know nothing about BW though.

[Totally Guy]

I know nothing about BW though.

I don't expect anyone to. It's Mouse Guard's big brother. It's quite complicated but has some pretty neat mechanics. It's got a lot of emphasis on interpersonal interaction. Sometimes the sword is what you want other times you just need to win an argument.

Does this mean I managed to convince you?

*Evil laugh.*

[Irbis]

*Evil laugh.*

I is almost tempted to say 'no' to have an even better *Eeevil laugh*

But alas, I think I've already agreed :P

[KuReshtin]

Only two weeks to go!!! WOOHOO!!!



PS. Irbis, clean out your PM inbox/sent box

Woah, holy crap you're right. I hadn't realised how close we were.
Time flies when you're doing nothing.

heh, story of my life!

[Kobold-Bard]

Oi, stop copying me!!

[Archonic Energy]

Oi, stop copying me!!
