Snaking the HIVE

[Angel Tarragon]

Whats happening hivers? Boy-o. Needed a lot more sleep than I thought. I went down for a napat noon and woke up at a quarter past seven. Thats some nap.

Went grocery shopping with my mom and relaxed afterwards watching a couple episodes of Walker on tape. Busy day.

Kaboom!!!

Stupid bbc buttons aren't working and I'm too lazy to type in the bbc.

FIFY.

Morning, Hive! We had an awesome KotS session last night - have a look at me blog, if you'd be so kind!

Email Exchange With Axe Initiative Games

[sblock=My Initial Email]

Good morning,

My name is Mathew Freeman and I'm interested in running a D&D 4e game at Dragonmeet 2008. I intend to run an independent game, not affiliated with the Living campaigns, and I was wondering if Axe Initiative Games would have any interest in sponsoring the game, or if there are any products that you are currently working on that you'd like a playtest of in a convention setting? I appreciate that I am an unknown quantity, but I am attempting to become known on the D&D scene as a GM and as a writer, and I wanted to start to make contacts with gaming companies as soon as possible.

I have been DMing 4e since it came out earlier this year, including running Into The Shadowfell at the London Dungeon to a good reception. I also post reguarly on the ENWorld.org forums under the username of Tallarn. Please contact me either on this email address, or by ringing 07944 836 212 if you would like any further information.

I hope to hear from you soon.

kind regards,

Mathew Freeman.

Hi Mathew

The short answer is yes. We've have an introductory adventure for our Raiders Guild line that would be really fun to run at DM. I was/am planning to do very short (1hr) single encounters from it, but it would be great if you'd be interested in running a longer version.

I'm doing some work on our DM plans next Monday, so expect to hear more then but do let me know if this is still of interest to you.

Thanks,

Sasha

Hi Sasha,

I'd be more than happy to run an introductory adventure for the Raiders Guild line - sounds like a great idea and would obviously save me some prep time! The slot length at Dragonmeet is 2.5 hours, just to confirm.

I'm wondering about using the classes from the Advanced Players Guide by Ari Marnell, rather than PHB classes. Would this be a problem, as it's an introductory adventure? Please let me know, as obviously I'm happy to fit in with your plans.

Or maybe I could run it twice during the day, once in each slot, one with PHB classes and once with APG classes?

regards,

Mathew.

Hi Matt,

I'll get you the adventure doc tomorrow, I was hoping to get you something better laid out than a word file but it's been a busy time.

I have full colour miniature scale battlemaps for the first and last encounters BTW. They are done using Campaign Cartographer 3 and look great.

As for the classes, it's up to you how you'd like to run the games. I don't want to stifle your gming

They rock, hugely and utterly. I should be getting a more detailed breakdown of what's going on tomorrow, including what level this is being run at and so forth. I'm incredibly excited and very very happy. Woooo!

Dear gods. I wish I could afford to own my own vehicle or had a mode of transportation that was cheap.

I'd offer to do the same for lots of companies at AZ gme days.

It's the happy advantage of living in the capital of the UK!

I've also discovered recently that if you volunteer to run games at GenConUK you get free entry and accomodation. This may mean that I'm going to it next year, as cost was the main reason that I haven't been in recent years.

Alas, Advil and most Ibuprofens don't do a darn thing for me. Aspirin remains the king of my medicinal world.

Time to sleep.

Sleep is mine.

 

[megamania]

Allo Hive. Seems quiet here again. I'll be around and about.

 

[megamania]

I'm going to get to an actual tabletop game soon!!! Oh, boy, it's been a while.

It's eberron. I'll be playing a cleric. Propably worships the Traveller but I'm not sure yet.

Awesome! Eberron is currently my favorite campaign world. (sorry Darksun )

 

[megamania]

Umm ... what other butter/dairy products have the word "blue" in it I wonder....

*ponders*

Blue Cheese

Blueberry Yogart

......?

 

[Mathew_Freeman]

'ello Mega.

I'm not sure about these dairy products with the word Blue in them...seems odd.
