Chicago Gameday - 11/09/02 (now including the Castle Brawl photos link!)

[Wulf Ratbane]

I'll probably play in one game, and GM one Star Wars game, now that I have a better idea of how the game works (and thanks to the patience of everyone who played in my games last time)...

Heh! Jack, your Sand People have achieved legendary status in our group. As far as I am concerned, they rank right up there with the Dread Gazebo in the annals of gaming euphemisms.

I hope that's some consolation!

Oh, and Mark, for your first session game. Is the PsiHB core? Some DM's consider it so. Also, what are ECLs are you using for the MM creatures? I have seen conflicting reports on ECL.

Some DMs would be mistaken. There are only three Core Rule Books; PHB, MM, and DMG. Nonetheless, monster classes for player characters aren't allowed. Just the Core Player's handbook classes. The inclusion of the MM is to facilitate the use of animal companions, familiars, etc. The DMG included to allow for selection of magic items, and such. Good questions, though. Thanks.

(Updated, also, btw )

HEY MARK!

Hey Mark,

Is there anyway we could get this thread "pinned" to the top...makes it easier to get to that way for everyone. Just a thought.

Thanks... I think.

If it's any consolation to you... Look up the rules on Combined Fire on page 161 of the RCRB to find out how you too can turn a ragged band of low to mid level thugs into a group of sharp-shooting terrors.

That, and they rolled really lucky. I was truly surprised that they were getting so many criticals against you guys.

I'm still not certain why you guys didn't either ditch out, or charge into melee. Gaderffi sticks are pitiful weapons.

Anyway... I'm going to go with a little more traditional adventure this time. Only, I've got four good ones (all converted from an old WEG Adventure Guide), and I not yet certain which one to use. Maybe I'll just provide a plot hook for each of them, and let the players decide when they get to the table (in the Mos Eisley Cantina).

Mark, why don't you go ahead and put me down for a SW game in the morning for 6 players, and call it "Grab Bag" for now... I'm still working on a summary.

Mark: Again I will be travelling with Trinity666, please put him down for breakfast (tentative) and your afternoon game. I spoke with him on the phone this afternoon and told him to post here, he sez he forgot his password or some jive.

To all you game corps donating: You F'in ROCK!! Thanks for making the last gameday awesome, I except this one will be even better. Thanks for everything.

Mark: Oh, and my GF sez if you keep doing this every 4 months shes gonna hunt you down or something. I wasnt really paying attention because I was building a character for your min/max game.

Naw. People should bookmark it. I'm not going to ask that they pin this up for the next two and a half months.

I'll put him in for breakfast, but I just went obver that whole proxy thing in an earlier post. He'll just have to get his stuff together like everyone else. Sorry.

Regarding your GF, I'll put an extra guard on the compound...

silly question - what slots in what games are still open? Is there a place we can see an update of the offerings?

The second post in the thread is kept updated by someone with far too much time on his hands...

Mark. Here's my game's listing for Slot 5.

For Game 5:

Fury of the Broke-Tooth Clan (D&D, 3rd Ed, Forgotten Realms)
Table: 6 players + GM

“Damn them, them damn dirty dwarves!” The wounded and dying Grug-Huk cursed through bloodstained canines. “Not only they attack us again, they stole clan totem! Clan no last against foes without totem, you must…” the shaman’s body suddenly raged with blood-bubbling coughs “…go get back totem…or else…” His spirit passed from his body, lost as surely as the clan, if the totem cannot be found.

That’s right; join the quest to save the Broke-Tooth Clan of Bugbears from certain death unless they are able to retrieve their lost clan totem from a group of "Damn Dirty Dwarves". Check your morals at the cave entrance. Bugbear characters will be provided for mid-level fun. 6 Bugbear “champions”.
