The Lost World Campaign

[iversonjm]

As a question, will anyone here be at Britcon? I'm flying over for it, and would like to put some faces with usernames.

I will be at Britcon, umpiring and playing in the FOGR pre-release tournament.

I'll be playing in Lance & Bow. I'll drop by to say hi.

BTW, I looks like no less then four of us (me, Batesmotel, Davidfagnand, and Gray Mouser are in Massachusetts in the USA (which isn't that big a place). Anyone else?

A long time ago there was a thread where players gave their location , I think it was for the league, knowing your opponents TZ etc when MP ist started

I tried to find it but its likly 60 pages buried......

Helps that my kids are teenagers now so I have a lot more time.

But can they be pressed into service as opponents?

If not, you have clearly brought them up wrong.

(I am off to Devizes in 2 weeks to play in a FOG double tournament with my 28 year old son as partner).

I have pleasant memories of your son (more child at that time) beating me at DBM at Britcon and in particular using a light horse to quick kill a double based knight general. He was a bold player!

It might have been Thomas, or it might have been Ned, who is 6 years younger. He gave Lorenzo Mele a good game at that Britcon, and usually beats me.

A couple of months ago I hunted down some old photo's of my WA war-gaming companions as I wanted to digitize them for posterity. Despite all of us still looking very attractive for young adults (sporting a little more hair - well, a LOT more hair), the thing I noticed was the sheer volume of beer that we consumed! In those days there were no drink-driving laws (certainly not enforced if they existed). The beer was terrible stuff too. Emu Export and Swan Larger. But we knew no better at the time.

Gods know what you do to emus down there to make them into beer!

Isn't an Emu a Swan, Larger?

Yes, both are bitter lager's http://www.australianbeers.com/history/swan.htm
Even Emu Bitter.
Yes, they taste like the urine excreted by both creatures. Unfortunately it was all we had to drink in the late 70"s

Gazxtrix & I are from Oztralia (although he was born a Pom - that's an Englishman for our Yankee friends).
Although I like the Bee Gees song "Massachusetts".

I have now stickied it, so that it doesn't sink again.

Back after only 3 days away and feel a bit lost.
I am a table top player, but I don't play much as it's mostly solo here, mostly I paint, and once a year I go to the Birmingham Expo for a few games.

Sorry will05 I was at Birm Expo around the Society stand - maybe I'll get to meet you next year.

I have the same problem in that almost all my gaming was solo but via FoG I've played more people in the past 3 months than the last 10 years!

Excellent

I may be popping into Britcon on the Sat or Sun as I'm in the NW that weekend anyway - any excuse to buy more stuff I don't really need

I've been to Massachusetts (Boston) for a week about 16 years ago

Oh, before I forget. Morbious is now invading Crimea to regain lost territory

Logically it makes sense if this is Trapezius, but I'll wait for Iversonjm to confirm.

Sorry but since when has logic been permitted in LW - I banned it from the start

Indeed, we are fighting in Cragganmore because it has a city. I can't believe he'll need anywhere to hide in though

I guess that you must hum this little ditty then ....

Talk about the life in Massachusetts
Speak about the people I have seen
And the lights all went out in Massachusetts
And Massachusetts is one place I have seen

I will remember Massachusetts
(I will remember Massachusetts)

I was quite intensly involved losing games. Fun though. I'll see you there next year maybe.

Incidentaly is anyone going to download the Immortal Fire beta or is this going to affect the campaign.
