Okay, fingers crossed I've gone through and updated everything correctly to get us set up for the next event but I would take it as a kindness if someone could check I've got it all as it is supposed to be. Apart from that the usual routine applies, make your intentions to play/run games known on this thread (yes even if you might have talked about elsewhere previously because if I even read it I probably wasn't paying enough attention to make the link...) and either myself or one of the organising team will see to it your game is added to the calendar.

All looks good to me Alan.

It's Beer & Pretzels weekend though, will the meet go ahead at the Brunswick as usual or do we decamp to Burton?

Forum keeps eating my messages.

It didn't eat that one though?

Its lonely attention seeking behaviour, that's all.

We have the Brunswick booked, and I know in the past some people have expressed a wish to still have the Brun happen as Burton was deemed too far. That element may no longer be present, but I have given this some thought and fear B&P might prove a little too much for me. So I for one will be at the Brun if I am able. I am sure others will want to go to B&P. We can't officially do both, though there is nothing wrong with members going to B&P instead, after all its the enjoying a game that matters. I think the Brun should continue at least as an offering.

Len

I will be at the Brun (had a wedding to go to yesterday!)

I will run something as I believe Laurent is away?

Ive always found B&P a little unfriendly, not sure why really

Hmm... I was only saying that I'd like to do B&P this year as I didn't last year, but its a choice between that and getting back to monthly meets at all which is proving increasingly trickly.

I figure, when my driving lessons are over and I have a bit more time (including when I'm done with my editing work) I might be able to give over a Saturday a month again. But until then, I'm not sure. ~sob~

I'll see you at the Brun then John. Leah, if I am able, I will have a Leah shaped space for you if you wanted it.

Len

If the meet is at the Brunswick that's where I'll be.

I might go and take a look at B&P on the Sunday. It's not down the road for me anymore either but I might persuade my wife to come over even if we just look at the board and card games.

Bruce

Alan,

Set-up.

Nearly perfect, but the first post referred to ...until the May Big Meet has passed,.... I have edited that.

I hope the coming May Big Meet will attract as many - or more - members. Technically I shall be back at home, but with the wife working in London during the week, this will be a no-no as far as I am concerned to be at the Brunswick on that day.

Pathfinder Society scenario.

John, you could run some slightly more recent scenarios if you can. As you already know, they are perfect for one session.

Short but busy week ahead, last minute shopping on Friday and leaving Nott'm a week on Monday.

Laurent,

I'm now stuck with the Friday night shift at work and unlikely to make it on Saturday.

Hello,

I shall not be in Derby in the end either.
My wife and I have guests on Saturday evening.

Laurent,

Hello,

I will be posting the new Big Meet events and threads later today or tomorrow.

So... how was Saturday? Has anybody showed-up?

Laurent,

Marvellous

No-one had an adventure prepared, so Len managed the impressive feat of running a whodunnit detective style adventure from memory, without the aid of notes, rulebooks, or a safety net, and a good time was had by all....

I might have an adventure to run for the next Big Meet, but I should probably double check that I can make it before committing to anything...

CSI: Armagada is not normally a game you could play twice. So I have to take my hat off to Charlie, who managed to not give away all the stuff he knew from playing the game previously at Conception. This allowed the rest to solve the puzzles for yourselves. He took on a role that would allow him to plead 'stupidity' at the appropriate times, and got his fun messing with what he knew was an NPC red-herring.

He even prompted me with the name of an NPC that I could not remember. So although I ran the game, Charlie made it possible by playing along with a game he had played before, and suspending not only disbelief, but inside knowledge.

Len

Dear Members,

I will not be able to set-up the next event either.

Personal problem (not posting this on a public forum). Len will now and will be allowed to tell.

Laurent,

I've set this thread back to a normal thread to make way for the June Big Meet to take its place as a sticky. As normal discussions can continue. Time will take care of the rest. I'd have got to this sooner normally but the last weeks have been something of a whirlwind.
