You're only letting yourself down.

Because we all think you're a cunt.

Sounds like we're going to have to be in and then give you a lift, forcing you to stay for the whole weekend.

(Not an 'in' - I need to speak to Mimi)

Is there any chance of playing a game of D+D? I never have and would like to.

I know it was mentioned last year but I'm not sure what happened with it.

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.

We can't make the Friday (flying back from Vegas) but should be there for the Saturday. Jet lag will dictate whether we stay over on the Saturday I guess!

Craster said he'd do it and then didn't and I didn't get to be a man with a tree :(

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.

I'll be there from lunchtime as I live 30 mins down the road. Do you want me to pick you up from the airport?

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