I've not played in ages, pretty much 2nd edition, though I did own the 3rd ed. but never had the time.

Would love to play (any ed. is fine with me).

BBLBB, are you BB's secret admirer?

Double post

no, there's no secret admiration here. Just a palindrome which also happen to be my initials to my full name.

Hey there. We actually have a good number of people interested now. We really should organize a meetup. I think Khelben and Aussieclay are still out of the country. Let's see what happens this coming week.

Just curious, did any of you ever play other genres like Judge Dredd, Call of Cthulhu, etc?

Hi, am back... had to go to UK and then the following week Copenhagen.

Issue with me is that my wife and kids arrive in the UAE from Australia this Friday, so I want to spend some time with them and help them get settled.

Now, re the game, I would really like to use 4e. I am very happy to DM and am generally more of a DM than a player.

My books etc are on the ship from Sydney and are due to arrive around 20 June.

Is this an issue with anyone? If we can wait until around then, I can DM and my family would have been here for 2-3 weeks to give me some grace with them.

PS - my wife was playing in her first campaign when I left Sydney, she enjoyed it and may be persuaded to play again. The best balance for gameplay in 4e is 5 players. So do we have that many?

hi..got any room for one more player?
i've played 2nd ed and 3.5 but im willing to try the 4th one..

26 and eager to play..

Hi lazir. Welcome

Aussie,

I do believe we have 5 players at least. I think that can be stretched to 6 without much problem. I've DMed for as small as 4 and it was decent. June 20 isn't too bad considering we've waited this long anyway. If the books are an issue for you, I have pdfs and the core 4e books as well.

Wow, I haven't played since the mid-80's. It was a lot of fun! Enjoy guys!

let me know when and where..really want to play again..

Ya, the system is flexible. Designed for 5 players, but scalable either way...

Perhaps a casual one shot game in late June and then a regular campaign...

That sounds perfect. A one-shot would be fairly simple and we'd be able to get a read on how everyone likes to play. Last weekend in June sound ok?

Last weekend of June should be ok.

Ok, are we agreed? Aussie, will you DM a game for late June? What day? Friday or Saturday? Time and location?

Slight hitch, I will be in London 24 June thru to the following weekend...

We can do this on the following weekend which is 3/4 July.

I would like to do an evening session, Friday night say... and am happy to host.

That sounds awesome. I was actually wondering about finding a place to have this but you've gone ahead and solved that Ok, we've waited this long... July 3/4 sounds good.

Have a further slight issue... our ship doesnt arrive now until 5 July... we can play as I have all the books on pdf on my laptop, but my table here isnt as good as the table on the ship (we're living off a kitchen dining, but my dining table on the ship seats 10 and is great for gaming).

I am happy to still go for the 3/4 July, but it might be a bit slower given lack of books.

Also, anyone offically wanting to play, send me a PM so I can give you my email address and we can start getting an official email chain happening in which i can give out game specific details and addresses etc etc

Would like a party of 5 players... my wife "may" play if needed.

Also, is anyone a subscriber to D&D Insider from Wizards of the Coast? I am and highly recommend it for the character generator alone.

I have the books so I can bring those to our game, no worries. As for mailing list, would you prefer I set up a small web site where we can all post details with a bit more privacy? I also have dice, tiles, and some generic miniatures that we can use.

I'm not a D&D Insider member but I have heard that the character generator is awesome. Unfortunately, it only runs on Windows and I'm a Linux guy.

Sounds good! I presume you mean the 4e books...

Yes, i just realised that not only the books, but my battle mats etc for combat are also on the ship! Do you have anything with a 1" grid?

Yes, 4e core rulebooks. I have this dungeon tile set:

It's a mostly indoor set so it's not very flexible but we could make use of it if needed.

Who else is up for Friday, July 3rd?

July 3rd could be good for me. But i just realised I don't have my dice...anyone know where you can get dice in town?

I have looked all over town but couldn't find any at all. We can all use my dice though.

I have a spare set...

I dont have a printer though as it is with all my furniture coming from Oz on the 5th so I cant print character sheets etc.

the first session may be simply a "get to know us" session, some character generation and maybe a one off encounter. I have something out of the books that I can run as a campaign intro although I havent got a campaign theme yet...

Having said all this, nobody has PM'ed me re details...

What sort of details do you need?

No... PM me and I will give you my email addy and phone number... not wanting to plaster that on the forums...

Game was delayed at last minute and is being rescheduled for Friday week!

Players still welcome!!

So we all met up and had a good time

Looking forward to our first real game July 31st. I don't think we need any new players at this point but I'd be glad to help others out in starting their own groups.
