I am sorry guys but I won't be able to make it tonight. I am sick and feel like crap so I figured it would be best if I stay home tonight. I'm sorry...

If anyone has a hard copy of 3.5e DMG and wouldn't mind bringing it tonight for me to borrow it I would be grateful... I have it in PDF but that tends to slow my already slow reading speed to a crawl

Rigil hasn't been in to work today, after his Nyquil-coma last night. Don't be surprised if he doesn't show tonight (unless he gets up and says otherwise). Might not hurt to have a backup plan.

Rigil hasn't even been on the boards since yesterday at 5ish... Should we assume gaming is cancelled unless otherwise said?

Well.does.anyone have a backup plan? Or.are we calling tonight off?
::EDIT:: If I can find a one shot mod that could reasonably tie in with Rigil's current story then I can run tonight. The question if I will be able to find something in time. Depends on how work goes.

I'm alive but it feels like I'm thinking through cotton, so I'd recommend having something else in mind tonight. I just got into work at 2 and will probably go straight home at 6 to crash again.

If everyone had actual created characters for ATE, I'd just toss 'em in the ring w/ some zombies and see how they come out

So, do we have a game plan for the night?

Post by LabRat on Mar 15, 2013 13:48:44 GMT -6
Dunno...our options are this- - Do GURPS character creation night and if we have time then run our character with zombies to see how they play out
- Find a one shot Mod that would make some sense (in terms of Rigil's game) and I will run it. Or if there is a mod that someone would like to experience then I will run that. I don't care, I just need to know so I can start looking.
- Play another game. We (as in N8 and I) have a couple of board games that we haven't gotten to play because we usually don't have that many players. One of them is Castle Panic
- Decide tonight is a wash and then pick up where we left off next week.
Commence Discussion

As busy as the last few weeks have been for all of us, I'm not surprised there hasn't been as much activity WRT ATE characters, so it would be handy to get that out of the way—but I really do hate non-gaming game-nights. Also, if we had the characters, or even to a lesser degree, without them, it might be interesting to test out the sandbox/random approach to see how it plays out in a completely-unprepared setting—but I don't want to press my luck there; some re-acclimation combat would be just as useful.
My 2¢

but I really do hate non-gaming game-nights Me too... I think eventually we all need to figure out some sort of 'alternate plans' that default when the GM is missing... So long as we had 2 people ready to go with something specific we can avoid these issues (2 people mean if any one person is gone we still have 1 person guaranteed to have something ready) ... On the downside it also tends to force those two campaigns to be essentially be one shot style....

Sorry about this guys. If I was just playing, I'd be game for showing up, but I fear my mental bandwidth is totally tapped out right now. I just spent twenty minutes working on a task here at work that should have taken me five, tops...

It isn't you fault Rigil. People get sick...I am a testament to that.
So I've been thinking for a bit and have come to the realization that I've been running on fumes for a while. Next week isn't going to be any better. What I need is a vacation but since that isn't happening anytime soon, I think that I just need a night off to stare at a wall and decompress. I apologize if this ruins evening plans, as I think it will ultimately cancel game night tonight. I am just tired, and need a bit of a break from everything.
That being said, we need to start a new thread discussing what we are going to do if a GM is out. Though it is rather rare, I dislike these last minute scramble sessions when it is so easily preventable. I will think on possible solutions and let you know my ideas in the next few days.

We stopped discussing it because it hasn't been necessary in a long time

Just for my reference we are having a game tonight right?

Haven't heard otherwise.
Why is it that missing one week always feels like months?

Just making sure Rigil hasn't come up with some other excuse to get out of GM'ing

Pending sudden and unexpected head exploding ... which, sadly, is very much in the realm of possibility. Work is driving me quite mad...

So I noticed in the Admin section that the board is "eligible to upgrade to ProBoards v5." Have we looked into that or are we doing the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it?"

****ALTERNATE PLAN ALERT**** just giving a heads up that I won't be there next friday (the 19th) due to going out of town, figured I'd give a heads up so that the alternate plan could be put into motion
