Warhammer Fantasy

[Cynical Cat]

So it's looking like Monday will be Warhammer Fantasy with it possibly moving over to Sunday when the Modern Nights Vampire game comes online and the Old Republic game reaches a suitable hiatus place. We will be doing third edition, which will hopefull work out just fine with the able assistance of Hotfoot.

[Karrick]

Man, I have been jonesin' for some Warhammer Fantasy for a looooong time. Just something about the setting, I suppose. I don't know squat about 3rd edition except that it was kind of a precursor to FFG's Star Wars RPGs... which I have really warmed to despite initial skepticism about dice.

Wolfgang was born in Altdorf as the first born son of a cloth merchant, and when he hit his teen years, the changes were more than simple puberty. He had a talent for magic, and was required by law to apply into one of the colleges of magic (which is a good thing because lacked the talent for mercantile endeavors his younger brother possesses). He was accepted into the Celestial Order and spent the next 12 years in mostly toil, with enough studying thrown in that by the time he reached 25, he was sent out into the world to experience life outside for the first time since he was 13...and hopefully survive. His task set by his Master (Gustav Heckmann) was to find as much arcane lore as he could lay his hands on, and bring it back to the college, at which point he would complete his training.

I'm not going to be available until about 10 eastern tonight (I'm reasonably sure CynCat said there was no game, but I don't trust my memory at this point).

[Cynical Cat]

So for this coming Monday I'm available to start a game at 6:30 pm Pacific. Several people have already said they are good to go with that. I would appreciate the rest of you sounding off with whether or not that's good, bad, or something in between so we all can plan our lives effectively.

Hope to see you all Monday night for some hard core Skaven killing action.

[Karrick]

I may have to duck out a little short of our usual ~4 hours so as not to be a zombie at work, but otherwise that's fine by me.
