done....
So we'll be there.

edit: a question (or series of questions I guess)
My wife and I are thinking of signing up for Master of the Fallen Fortress - Do we need brand new PCs for it? or can someone play it with a PC with 2 XP? how about playing it with a 2nd level PC? Thanks!

[noswald]

Master of the Fallen Fortress is a 1st level, no XP character. That's part of the draw since you can have people who have been playing forever and noobs together at the same table and have a blast.

While I would love to join in on the fun, I'm limited on travel with 2 kids under 4 at home. If you can make it, I recommend it.

[Purple Fluffy CatBunnyGnome]

this will certainly be an interesting convention!!!!!!

noswald, are you sure? I'm getting kind of ...

on this. Check the link (I started the other thread when someone sent me a PM saying other things).

Per request from another thread:

Master of the Fallen Fortress was originally limited to the 1st level 0 XP character, as an intro to society play. However, it has changed from its humble beginnings.

Currently, MoFF is simply treated as any other 1st level module, with the exception that since it's a FreeRPG day mod it only offers 1 XP and 1 PP. So, it can be played by any legal 1st or 2nd level character. It maybe replayed as often as one desires with 1st level characters, but only once may you receive credit with a 2nd level character playing through it.

The most recent rules reflecting this are on page 30 of the Guide (v4.2).

Hope this helps, and good gaming. A convention at a Brewery...man wish I could make this one =p.

[noswald]

I must have missed that in the new guide. That will make it a little less deadly for some characters, even though they are still 1st level. Sorry for the misinformation and have fun with it.

[Sarta]

Glad to see Brewfest is back on track. I can't get out there this year, but will try next year.

Thanks Noswald! I was unsure of how to proceed, and it's always nice to get us all back on the same page. (thinking of all the times I gave out "out of date" info ... still getting those 3.5 rules out of my head!)

Getting a place to stay is ... tough this year. Plan to drive down and spend the night - but all the local motels are saying full. the ones that don't say full, say "We've got this waiting list, so we'll just put you on it...", shesh...

this should really be a fun con .. looking forward to it

You should announce these things a little sooner!

I would hate to deprive someone of a seat - but I'll keep it in mind. I think you are running Goblin Guild - and I would love to play that again (we got very rushed playing it, and I think the Judge trimmed/rushed some in the middle).

I played this at the PFCBG's table at Nuke Con and let me just say that [redacted] makes a good present for [redacted].

Kristen and I will be bringing the Runecarved Key she made for the special on Saturday night.

I accidentally broke 'Sloth' off of it at Little Egypt Wars, but she managed to get it fixed up pretty well.

[Kyle Baird]

Nice. I'll probably know by tomorrow if I'm going or not.

PM me if you can't find a place to stay - I know a hunting lodge B&B not to far away...

[nosig]

This is maybe a silly question (a week before the convention), but would anyone else be interested in playing (or running) a mod across 2 or more slots? Something all day Saturday for example - say Crypt of the Everflame? Or is Murders Mark available yet? or even something higher level like Carrion Hill?

[nosig]

HA! five more days! (yeah, I don't get there till Saturday - so I miss the first day. Gotta earn the money to pay for the CON!)

[godsDMit]

I'd just like to point out that Missouri is pretty far from the East Coast. No hurricanes over this-a-way... :P

[Purple Fluffy CatBunnyGnome]

Alrighty ...... LET'S GO BREWFEST

hehehehehehehehe ... just off the last one and ready for the next

[Tim Statler]

We have the special being run Saturday night.

So Kyle, if you come, you can actually get player credit. We'll try not to kill you, but I hear it was written by a killer GM. :)

Yep. That guy has some kind of reputation for writing killer scenarios. :/

weakling! Come to St. Louis, we only get 5 min. to read the scenario summary as prep work! It grows you STRONG Judge skills! (sarcasm, really. Prep good, it makes a better game...)

[godsDMit]

Re-read all my scenarios
Highlight Frostfur and KotSS
Draw maps for Frostfur and KotSS
Pick out minis
Make sure my characters are up to date, in case any tables fall through

Got plenty of time. ;)

Snarky comments on the state of affairs in the St. Louis gaming area are counterproductive in my opinion. This has been hashed out on other threads.

I do agree though that all judges can be helped tremendously by advanced preparation of the scenario they are going to be running, particularly when you have a hard time limit, such as at a convention.

I don't think he was making a snarky comment (since he's one of the STL judges, but moreso joking around about it ... could be wrong .. but that's how I took it :)

[godsDMit]

That's what I had read into it, too. I dont think he was being snarky. He might actually have been directly referring to another thread where he had just posted something about it and I mentioned I didnt think I could consistantly GM like that.

[Cire]

I sit across the aisle from mr. nosig at work. This topic has been discussed much lately and Im probably just too sensitive. I apologize. Carry on.

If you like I could talk some smack so you could turn your aggression outside of your community. :]

Naw. I'm fatigued for 5 rounds from my rage. I'm good. :)

Heh.

If the people in this thread are the type of people that plan several months ahead... you should plan on this - Con of the North, February 2013.

Less than 24hours to go.
Come on people. Where else can you game in a micro brewery and have your food delivered to the table?

[godsDMit]

I could be mistaken, but I dont remember any food being delivered to tables last year. Just them putting it out on the bar and waiting for you to come pick it up. :P

[nosig]

Well, if you're the Judge, most any of the players will be happy to get it for you. In fact, if you're running the only cleric/healer, that is also likely to be true. YMMV.

[Ezekiel 25:17]

So jealous of all of you. I came back home to Oz after UCon. If I took another week off I could have had beers with you guys this weekend.
Went to a brewery con here at Easter - it was certainly different.
Have fun

The Shadowlodge cons in Sydney. The last three (I think, might be only two) have had this. Certainly a change from Origins or Gen Con
