World Wide D&D day

[EvilGinger]

Prepare yourself (and your friends) to join D&D fans all around the world on March 21st for Worldwide D&D Game Day: Player’s Handbook 2. Everything you need to play will be on-hand, so it’s a great chance for new players, as well as veterans, to band together and find some adventure.

Come try out the new races (such as the gnome) and the new classes (like the invoker and barbarian) while you battle wicked fiends and thwart dark plots. No matter if you’re new to the game or a 4th Edition veteran; we'll have everything you need to embark on an all-new adventure.

The adventure, entitled One Dark Night in Weeping Briar, runs in 2-3 hours and includes five pregenerated 11th-level characters. The characters are:

    * Ilvarra, drow avenger
    * Markaria, tiefling invoker
    * Roswyn, gnome bard
    * Squeaks, warforged barbarian
    * Balasar, dragonborn paladin (uses material from the upcoming Divine Power product)

In addition to the adventure, there's a trivia activity sheet. Test your knowledge of our 4th Edition releases since the game's launch.

There is one problem though it currently clashes with a HeroClix game so when do we do it

[CrazyFrog]

 

Wizards are the biggest load of useless  muppets

Thats the same day as new set release sealed booster tournament for StarWars Minis.  So I'm in that and the shop will be full of SWM players.

...Warforged barbarian? Am I the only one who thinks that's a bit...weird?

[EvilGinger]

Correction Frog is correct it clashes with the Star Wars Minis release tournament, not  a Heroclix tournament  B@#**Y dyslexia. Which is worse because they are made by the same B@#**Y people do they not communicate in their B@#**Y Company or do the moppets just fail to realize that people might want to do both star wars minis and world wide D&D day. I don't know  look what happens when you put B@#**Y colonials in charge of stuff !!!!!!

Calm now

it still poses the same problem how do we sort up this Foul-up? suggestions please could we run D&D day on a Sunday perhaps

[EvilGinger]

...Warforged barbarian? Am I the only one who thinks that's a bit...weird?

It is as the Warforged are made by advanced Magical technology, since lost and I don't see how one could have become a barbarian where they not all basically fighters to start with and some multi classed after the war. It makes one wonder what Wizards have done to Eberon in 4E

It's about a month away, so maybe it isn't too late to phone Sal/Phil @ SpiritGames and notify them of the clash. Appropriate pleading may get them to move one event or the other to Mon 23rd or another date. They usually understand a gamers problem and may do all they can to help.

Also, it's obvious warforged have been changed significantly so they can be a new race in PHB2. Oh well, Halflings changed in the PHB but are still food hungry, bare footed, hobbits in my mind.

The gnome sounds like a pile of awesome, but sqeaks is a strange name for a warforged, - maybe he talks mouse.

[EvilGinger]

Fret not I will talk to young Phil & all will be well squigly one

[CrazyFrog]

Was planning to discuss it with Phil / Sal tonight.

Me & Andie are planning for Saturday evening > 19:00, whether or not its in the shop we dont know yet.

Its only the meetup side thats going to cause problems for the space.

Or the most logical idea is more D&D day to wednesday night,  simples    (meerkat speak)

[EvilGinger]

I was also planing on talking to Spiritgames about this perhaps we should form a delegation I had forgotten about the meet up people, however running it after hours on the same Saturday is not a bad idea at all well done Frog < goes off to look for the patronising smiley>


O look I found it   

[CrazyFrog]

Oh crap that sounds like a plan  and I thought of it,

Which means.................   Its Brilliant but rubbish and some say 'He has brilliant ideas', some say 'He talks B**%$$££ all the time' and all we know is if it works then an ancient one could awaken and the world will be destroyed and my brain could go bang and  blah blah blah blah,  men in white coats have just arrived here and I'm being carried away, blah blah blah.

Hello to who's reading this.
This is Arkham Asylum.
The CrazyFrog is currently unavailable for gaming due to changing into a cross between Clarkson and an Arkham investigator from 1920
He may be released into the community for the weekend, by which time Doctors are hoping he will have changed personality to his normal Dark Lord of Sith personae.

If you have gone wibble started drooling etc & etal  and will be unable to carry out your plan, I will drop into see  Spiritgames today and carry out my plan which was similar, a classic case of an infinite number of Monkey's typing randomly mimicking the work of a great mind

Hope you are well enough to play by this Saturday otherwise I win three nil by default which is not as much fun as thrashing you in person.

This has been sorted out the plan so far is to have the meetup "people" run world wide D&D day in the day alongside the Starwars Minis' tournament evicting them to the Coopers in the event of there being too many to fit in Spirit.

There would then be a special session of world wide D&D day after hours in the shop for the select few who are also doing the Starwars Mini's

I stand to be corrected as this is a precee of a long and rambling conversation between Frog & SpiritGames of this parish I may have missed something vital.

Update I have Just E-mailed SpiritGames re this with all the sign up details for this and will drop in at 10am to remind SpiritGames in person.

Ginger

[CrazyFrog]

Correct plan.

I will be booking the room at the Coopers tonight.
Phil should be emailing Len today about the venue change and how many people will be wanting Player 2 handbooks, starting time etc.  If required I'll drop Len a quick email tomorrow to confirm the venue and times etc.
The Coopers is for Meetup + Burton group who are not playing Minis and want to play during the Day.

Currently I think there are only 3 of us who are Mini's and want to go for the evening session.

Any comments from anyone please.

So, saturday, right? With most running in the afternoon, and a re-run for the star-warsers after seven?  That's probably for the best, because I could actually make it to a post-seven game. (Just about).

[EvilGinger]

I am just on my way to see Spirit games about this and to remind him about the e-mail registration etc, would have done so earlier but still am not over my cold quite and seem to have bouts of post viral fatigue still
