Campaigns do, by definition, as they are a series of adventures. But you can, of course, also just run a one-off session. It's an infinitely flexible format, so you can run it any way you imagine. One thing you probably can't do much of in a one-off is advance your character's skills. Hmm, unless you ran it as a series of vignettes spaced over a longer period of game-time... that's an interesting idea.

I have a load of d&d stuff in the loft..

Same here. I'm sure you could do an abbreviated single module in a cottage weekend.

RE: D&D stuff - not coming out in favor of piracy , but various torrent sites have some of the small one shot D&D modules which give a particular area and encounters which i'm sure you could get through in a few hours (or early copies of Dragon magazine which often had small encounter modules as freebies)

There are also all the Tolkien MERP (Middle Earth Role Playing) modules and quite a few of them have small bite sized areas with pre-set encounters and even pre-defined characters ready to go if you want to avoid some of the complexity of setting up your own.

How set-in-stone are the location and dates here? I only ask because, being an organised sort of motherfucker, it would be nice to book my flights/work holidays/cat sitter as soon as I can so I can just forget about it all. Obviously with it being months away if there's even the slightest chance of things changing I won't bother, but it would be nice to tick all these things off my list as 'done'.

Pretty set. Once I call the chap up and confirm then it will be in stone. STONE I TELL YOU!

Just the one cottage this time round, it looks like, unless there is a surge of interest.

Fair enough, I'll get my bookings on then just for sake of doing it while I remember.

Oh, last question: what kind of time do people start arriving at the place on the Friday? I've got a flight that gets me into East Midlands at 1230 and another one arriving at 1620 y'see.

That would certainly be convenient if it's no bother. I'll go for the earlier flight then.

I'd be lying if I said it was on the way, but it's not too far out of my way and saves you faffing around with trains and buses etc.

Fair enough, ta. Getting from the airport to Derby itself is a piece of piss for me though so if it becomes too much hassle for any reason just shout, it's no big deal for me.

If the quiz was a trap then it was a really shite trap given that I just walked away. You guys really need to work on that for the sake of future victims.

ETA: although, granted, I didn't do a full check the next day that all my organs were still present and correct so it's possible I'm just not giving you enough credit here.

Tempted to go to the cottage just to spend the entire weekend shouting offensive Scottish prejudices at bamba in an offensively piss poor 'scotch' accent. Seven hours at the quiz wasn't long enough to be truly appallingly offensive and tedious.

Yeah, at the time it occurred to me that the format of a night based round a really loud pub quiz wasn't the best way to actually get to know anyone. Later though I realised this was actually a bonus.
