United Kingdom in the Playground Meetup - Xmas Party

[Timberwolf]

I'd like to come but I may have been booked as it's my mum's birthday on the 7th. This is doubly annoying because I'm only an hour down the M42 in Nuneaton. Well, we'll have to see.

[Charity]

Pah, your mother, what has she ever done for you?
In case you were in any doubt this is entirely in jest.

Memo: fix home boradband.

[Dark Dork]

Yeah, it's a dungeon crawl. Use the Paladin PHB2 thing too if you want.

That reminds me, I need to tighten my boradband.

[Sir_Norbert]

Have fun, everyone! Sorry I can't be there, but when it gets to a minute past midnight, do take a moment to wish me a happy birthday please ;)

[Exachix]

Urm guys... It's tomorrow.

So, can I ask, that someone, can I get a lift from Longbridge Station?

I mean, it may only be a mile to walk, but I don't want to get lost on the way ^.^.

[Charity]

I'm getting a lift down... up with Ikkie, I'm sure he will give you a lift from the station... when are you getting to the station?
Actually we are going up tonight, well this afternoon to get some early drinking in, I imagine you'll need a number to call.

Wow this is really lucky, I'm heading in to Longbridge Station tomorrow morning as well. If there's car space I'd definitely appreciate the lift...please can you PM me any details to arrange something if possible?

[Dark Dork]

Dear lord I hope there's a table big enough. And a plug socket near it. And free wireless internet. I guess I'm going to have to make some compromises but I hope I we don't have to resort to the old Put-the-dungeon map-on-top-of-a-PH-balanced-on-your-knees arrangement.

LR33 is not responding to any of my messeges at all and I'm relying on him for a lift. There's supposed to be a D&D session tonight but I cancelled it. I hope he doesn't drive all the way from York to a non-existant session.

Nope, I'm here but I'm having trouble finding the time to do anything at all. I need more days in a week and more hours in a day.

[Kantur]

Just about to head into town now to starrt the long journey down (Though it has the plus side of I can get my essay drafts done for my exam....And finish fleshing out minor details for Masquerade...)

So see you all tomorrow!

[Exachix]

What Time will you get there?

Me is thinking about 11:26. Although that can be altered.

[Jontom Xire]

Aaarrgghh. Why didn't anyone tell me about this? Way too late to stick it in my calendar now! I have places I've arranged to be now, and almost ended going to the Sky Broadcasting Christmas party except I cancelled that for another appointment tomorrow.

Is there a meet-up sign-up thread I can put my name on to be notified of every meet-up that we'll ever have in the UK? Sort of like the werewolf central that people put their names on to be notified when new games start?

Shall I start one?

[Timberwolf]

Well, if I come then it'll be completely unannounced, last minute thing.

Ie, don't expect me.

By the looks of it, it seems that there's going to be one every 6 months or so. All you have to do is to check FB every month or so and there shouldn't be a problem

[Dark Dork]

@LR33: Phone me when you get back from work or whenever's convienient cos my parents are nagging me to hammer down the details. I'm not sure they trust your driving abilties about recent events jk I know it'll be fine.

[BrokenButterfly]

I'm getting there at roughly the same time, 11:15 I think...but I don't have the details to hand right now.

...I had a link to this thread in my sig a while ago...Saying "UKitp Meetup! Where? Birmingham! When? 8th December!"...<.< >.>

Edit: And only just realised now that it's still there...Put it in middle of November I think...

[Totally Guy]

See you tomorrow guys.

I might see if I can create a fake avatar and user name for my little brother then he'll be asking if anyone recognises him and try to catch you out. Probably not. I've not seen him in ages and it depends how bored we get this evening.

I'm still at work so I've got a long drive now. And I've got to load the car. I'm staying away from Leeds where I am now for the next week so I've got to remember to bring work shirts and all sorts, I'm in Birmingham on business Tuesday/Wednesday so it's worked out sort of conveniently for me again.

[The_Librarian]

We're aiming to get there about 12pm (hey, I like my Saturday lie-in).

I failed at making a badge but the wolf'll be with me and I have a bracelet with my username on it - hope that'll do!

[Hawkeye]

Well, if you see a person who doesn't know if he's in the right place it'll be me...

[Castaras]

Wheeeee. That was fun.

*Elan runs around everywhere*

*touches his nose*

*runs in and kills *

*contributes to the death of Xykon* I'm participating!

We so need to do that again. And again. And again.

[Exachix]

And Again? and Again? =P

Sorry I had to go when I did, Thanks to Ikke for the lifts =).

Thanks to AE for all the wonderfulness of killing roy.

[Castaras]

And Again? and Again? =P

Of course!

[The_Librarian]

That was awesome - my thanks to DarkDork, my man at arms (Charity) and the hired help and to Kantur for looking after my character when I had to go.

Paladins are awesome. Why did no one tell me this before?

And why did nobody say that clerics can throw undead, skeletal chimeras down wells?

And why did nobody warn me that goblins are smart enough to push the paladin into the spike pit? (ow)

That was a brilliant game

[Dragor]

Hope you all had a good time.

I spent all day moping around town with my girlfriend, miserably Christmas shopping.

Ah well. Maybe, just maybe, I'll be able to make the next one.

Maybe.

[BrokenButterfly]

Just got back home after having a fantastic time.

Thanks a lot to everyone who helped me out at the meet and all the people who brought games along as well.

Looking forward to the next one already...

[Charity]

Home again, home again jiggidy jigg.

Just a few thanks.

Cheers for the game DD, it was a blast, and to the players as it would never has been as much fun without you all.
Special thanks to Ikkie for the lift matey, and the tour of Brum, and for organising the whole affair... and for providing the comedy transport. nyuk nyuk.

We had a very strange occurance on the way home, I'm a bit spooked still, I shall give more detail later.

[Last_resort_33]

That was great fun guys.

The venue was brilliant.

We do however need more time... I suggest going for a two dayer in the summer.

Possibly with a trader on one of the days?

Possibly advertise it as running in tandom with a GitP "fringe" games do for not Gitpers?

don't know, I'd like to get as many people for as long as possible...

does anyone have any ideas for making the next one even more cool?

The venue was great by the way!

[zombie chick]

well just got back and i have to say i loved that gaming weekend! it was great to see everyone from the last meet up and to meet some new people.

i still cant believe that OOTS game went on for over 7 hours! and half of that was trying to find the stairs to Xykons secret lair. Still durken and elan managed to vanquish him in the end. Darn that adventure card where we all had to touch our noses!
playing V was fun but i have never been much of a magic user, im more used to being the meatshield. Speaking of which, poor Roy! Gettting backstabbed over and over again by Hailey. And not to mention Belkar doing hid fair share of that too
shame i couldnt stay for longer, but it was a fantastic day and i cant wait for the next one next year.

Ikki - if you let me know how to repay you for the food i wil lbe happy to
