No flag from Google, ClamAV finished it's scan with 0 result... I'd hazard to say it's fixed.

Question is now: wha'happened?

Meanwhile, I've a tiny bit of tweaking on my game blurb... but it's 90% done. w00t!

Hey Buzz. I've got the game description for you.

Special Delivery
Star Wars Saga Edition game for 5-6 pre-gen 7th level PC’s taking place soon after the events of Episode III
(this game is continued from a couple of Gamedays ago, but previous experience is not necessary)

In a previous game, a smuggling crew was hired by a group of underground Jedi to rescue a kidnapped padawan. No one knew that the crew had among its ranks a Jedi in hiding, who did reveal himself during the rescue of the 12-year-old boy. The rescue went relatively well, though no one told the crew the facility they’d be breaking into was a cloning facility. Nor had the crew been told the boy had been under the watchful eye of a fallen Jedi.
The crew, safely into hyperspace, simply has to bring the boy back and collect payment. And figure out what to do now that they know they have a fugitive Jedi on their hands. Not to mention a 12-year-old boy who has encountered the Dark Side. What could go wrong?

What's all the .....

about!!!

Yo Buzz!
I would like to run an event for Game#7 in the Afternoon Slot if there are any tables and chairs left.
Keep me posted!

It would be a blast from the past!

Basic D&D c.1977 red boxed set
4-6 players
2nd level
Pre-generated 2nd lev characters provided.
Rules will be explained as we go along. Players just need bring standard D&D game dice, pencil and paper.

THE HAUNTED TOWER
On a hill outside town stands the old tower. It’s been empty for years, they say. Once it was the home of an Alchemist, his students and his apprentice.
The old tower on the hill is haunted, or so they say, but you don't believe it. On a dare you've agreed to spend the night. Will your opinion change before daybreak?

Nitpick: The Mentzer "Red Box" came out in 1983. If you're running the c.1977 Basic D&D, that's the Homes "blue book" Basic.

So Buzz, when do you think you'll start the sign-up thread?

buzz · 23rd February 2009, 03:30 AM

As soon as everyone gets their event descriptions in...

Really, I'm thinkin' Sunday, 3/8 should be ample time. That's still unofficial, of course.

Reidzilla · 23rd February 2009, 05:05 AM

Sounds fine to me.

buzz · 26th February 2009, 03:11 PM

Hero's Banner: The Fury of Free Will
Tim C Koppang

World-changing decisions set in a grim fantasy epic.

Winter has settled over the land known as the Cross. With little hope of reprieve, the cold has set people against each other. They are beginning to turn away from their kings and towards the Church for more than spiritual guidance. The old kings feel the threat looming. But as a young noble, you will have the opportunity to change the course of history. You hear the call of your people. You see the chance for greatness. Will you use this opportunity to benifit yourself, the Church, or your father's traditions?

---

Hero’s Banner: The Fury of Free Will is a fantasy roleplaying game with a razor sharp premise and elegant mechanics to match. Every character is faced with a choice between three mutually exclusive and world-changing paths to glory. Which will he choose, and what will he forever give up to achieve his goals?

No experience necessary. Partiallly pre-genenerated characters will be provided. Up to four players.
