Gaming Group Forming

WHEN: Every other Friday Night between 5pm and 9pm (gaming will probably start at about 5:30 and wrap-up starting at 9pm), starting NEXT FRIDAY (1/23)

WHERE: My Place in Bothell (which is practically Woodinville, very easy to find)

WHO: Anybody who can make it, really. The more the merrier! Prefer non-smokers, or at the very least smokers who don't mind going far away from the house to do it because of some severe allergy issues in our household. Booze is permissible as long as you have a designated driver or are willing to crash on our Futon.

GAMES: Primarily Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition, but will devolve to other stuff such as Munchkin, Roborally, Zombies, M:TG and/or other stuff if not enough people show up to support the D&D properly that week. The D&D "Campaign" I have set-up will be extremely easy to insert and delete characters at will, so you don't have to worry about joining late.

WHAT TO BRING: A first-level character, preferably generated via the D&D Character Generator Beta (available on the WotC website for free right now), your own dice (loaners available upon request), any D&D Minis and/or books you feel you may need (PHB), Potluck-style Snax (something to share with everybody such as a bag of chips or drinkage).

As far as who/what you should be playing in this game? Well you'll probably need your basic set of Fighter, Healer, Rogue and Spellcaster at the very least. I'll have several characters already printed out in case you can't decide... I'm having a blast with the character creator software :) Only advice I have for you is to avoid "Outdoorsy" classes... 98% of your adventures are going to be indoors and that Wilderness Survival skill isn't going to come in to much use...

Please reply if you intend to come, and feel free to invite folks who you think would fit in!

It may not be the best of timing for him, but I sent the link of this post to Dan who has always been into this geeky nonsense ...uhh, stuff.

Regardless of his potential attendance to this particular event, I think you two would get along quite well.

I would not mind a gaming night but I was looking forward to us doing it not just me. please come play with me sugar poops?

I can fully understand the origins of some pet-names... 'Sweet Lips", "Honey", "Tiger" etc... even "Sugar Tits" is explainable!

...But whatever a couple of kids are doing that leads to the pet-name of "SUGAR POOPS"?!?!? It fills me with much fear!

BUT! You're both welcome in our home! It's a kid-friendly environment, we've got Molly who will be turning 3 at the end of the month and [livejournal.com profile] khristle has requested that her character not be exactly "crucial" to the game so that she can mainly deal with The Kid. There are also others who may or may not join the group who have young kids as well, the oldest one being eight I think?

So I can show up with my mangeek and play with the kids then? :P
He'd probably try and make me play, but I don't think he's going to win that battle.


I do not have sugary poops (I don't think?) in case your brain went literal on that. Or rather I should say that I wouldn't know. He also calls both Aurelia & I "honey pot" or "honey bucket" which I've slowly gotten used to :P

That would be awesome! I hope he recovers well enough to join in at a later date!
