Be Excellent To Each Other

<small voice>

I have never played D&D. I would like to. Please can we play a game at the Cotta6e?

Really hope I can make this. Looking 50/50 atm

I could probably run something.

I would be interested in this. Assuming I can be a burly motherfucker with a huge sword that solves problems by HULK SMASH.

Then why would you need a sword?

Not much of a challenge for your roleplaying abilities then!

I'd be up for this. I don't have any D&D gear any more, but I think the PHB and DM's guide are downloadable as PDFs now? I do have a couple of other RPGs still; Shadowrun and Feng Shui. You guys would probably like the latter.

Not as well as I could. With all the 2nd Ed AD&D stuff I still have. Cos it's the best version.

Mercury dragon garden parteh!

Turn the fuck up then, douche.

That dragon had the best accent ever.

This appeals to me.. but please don't tell anyone.

This is October, right? That's plenty of notice isn't it? I could pop along for the day/evening.

You misspelled 'weekend'!

Hello!

It's getting towards full payment time. In fact, that time may have already passed, but the chap who owns the place kinda lets us pay whenever, which is nice.

We have 14 people with deposits paid. I will assume they are all still coming (are you out there, Trooper?).

Mimi and Russ should be rather busy at this point, though I have vague recollections of them saying they might come and say hello.

Mr Dave and Malc are regulars, so I hope they will come.

Kovacs and Cavey both expressed interest at the BBQ.

Mr Chris is a boring twat.

Saturnalian may join us at some point for a nice game of Mafia and some video games.

Slightly Green and Mr Dom were bandying around the idea of coming.

As were some more people. Please don't be offended if I have left you out; I'm monumentally lazy.

Any more for any more?

Grim... - were Other Matt and Mrs Other Matt still interested?

Other Dave was interested last time I spoke to him.

The more the merrier (and the cheaper), etc. We'd love to have any and all of you, and I'm sure if you ask the people who have previously been to this or the cottage, it's a wonderful fun time and we're all lovely.

Once I get a better idea of numbers then I will be able to let you know how much it is per person. In years past it has been around 100 quid per person for 3 days and 3 nights (Fri-Sat-Sun), though this year it may be more if we do not get as many people. I'm going to estimate at 130 quid per head, but I could be wrong.

So, LET ME KNOW, YOU BEAUTIFUL BASTARDS!

We might try and pop in to day hello for a couple of hours on one day if we can, with Surprise Auntie Ange, but it's going to depend on how we are doing and when and how Master Codd comes bouncing into the world (though at present I'm concerned he is just trying to escape through my front, Alien-Style - we have not had a good day. It's ok, I needed neither my bladder or my lungs, it seems), but yes, hopefully we'll come and say hello, but only briefly. We'll be back for Co7tage, though xxxxxx

I am a bit up in the air at the moment, in that my wife's job is changing focus in September, and I don't know what impact it's going to have on weekends in general and this one in particular.

I will find out, although last I heard was "probably".

Jem and I are still up for this. Zeppo is a possibility.

Why is Mr Dave only a possible? Where's your commitment, man?

There's another kickstarter just launched that sounds like it's proper werewolf/mafia with day and night phases only without full player elimination. Players who get killed off continue to contribute in some form as angels or demons. Sounds very interesting. I'm considering backing it but I don't think I'll make the cottage

Because you don't speak fluent Dave. (My reply was a yes, but I can see why it could be taken as only a possibly. Chuck some details my way)

Pretty sure Jazzy has paid a deposit too, but my inability to update pages correctly has struck again.

Other Dave is also in.

NERVOUS PETE! Now there's someone who should come.

..........................................

Do you have a youtube video link for every occasion? Or do you search for them each time?

Teen Angel#1 is due to give birth ~2 weeks after this date, but all being well, would it be OK for me to blast down on the Harley (if the weather's OK, otherwise car it is lol ), stay for a few hours (or even doss overnight on a sofa/carpet), chuck beers and quids into the pot and show you all quite how useless I am at games and stuff?

Abso-fucking-lutely!

Will anyone play netrunner with me?

Cavey.

Sorted!

We're playing D&D. Craster is being chief nerd, but won't decide anything about it. I WANT TO MAKE MY MAN, DAMNIT

It's two and a bit months away!!

Bobby!

You should bring Mrs Bobby and Mini Bobby.

If nothing else, Maria will totally look after Mini Bobby.

Actually, on second thoughts...

Any idea when the D&D will take place? I wouldn't mind playing but i can't commit to the whole weekend at the cottage.

Does she want to look after Minimimi as well?

I know this is, like, total on my part, but...

ahem, where is this please guys? sorry I couldn't find the venue mentioned, probably huge belm etc.

Nah, I probably didn't write it down anywhere.

Stenson Hill Farm
Stenson Road
Derby
DE73 7FZ

Almost certainly

Bargain, thanks Curio.
Only 60-odd miles away from the ol' homestead, much less than I was expecting.

Now viewable in THREE DIMENSIONS on Google Maps.

Have they made the "second" cottage bigger?

I think they're two separate "bits"

No, they're closer in size than you realise. Larger cottage has 8 bedrooms, smaller has 6. Main difference is the larger has a full second story but the smaller one just has a couple of rooms in an attic space. This also leaves more room in the ground floor of the larger one for the massive living room, kitchen, and snooker room.

I see.

Also, the smaller one is basically attached the the chap's house.

Anyhoo!

Looking at just the one cottage this year, as we look to have somewhere in the region of 17 people. We can fit in the odd one or two extra if necessary.

The likely cost is 105 pounds per person, though there's a possibility that this could drop, depending on STUFF.

Day visitors are not obliged to pay, but are can contribute if they want, especially to the fund of shared goods (loo roll, communal cooking what Grim/Craster/Gaywood/Egg) do, and are of course encouraged to bring nice things to eat/drink. People with newborns are exempt from this tax

Newborn what?
