Morning all
I got back from my hols on Saturday and figured it was time to start greasing the wheels of the next Warhammer World Inquisitor campaign day that I promised to run back at the March meeting. The plan is in place for the secrets of The Antonine Amulets to be revealed now.
However, having been in contact with Warhammer World, getting a suitable date organised looks problematic. They have a rather irritating policy of only opening the books two months in advance, otherwise I would have had this arranged months ago. October would have been ideal, but all the weekends I can make are booked up with events. I am unavailable all of November due to more holiday plans (oh how the other half live!), and I would think December is out as the Inquisitor Grand Tournament couldn't be run in its traditional month this year. Super-short notice as it is, Saturday the 25th of September is available. If about 10 people can commit to that in the next week then I'll run the day, but if not, it looks like I won't be able to run the campaign until the new year. Of course, if someone else wants to step into the breach to organise something for November then please do. The Antonine Amulets can stay under wraps until a more suitable time arrives.
So, any players game for the 25th of September?

no show here; am in Canada :'(
Piddle. Much though I'd love to be there, that's one of the few weekends I've got booked for months. I'll be playing even more of an anorak than normal that weekend - so, yes, that means I'll be at the Severn Valley Railway's Autumn Gala.
Steam locomotive enthusiast AND a roleplayer/wargamer. I really am a massive social pariah, aren't I? :P
I've checked and I'm free, so if it's on I should be there...
Myself and Holiad can make the 25th.
Again I'm as Marco, love to attend my first conclave event, but have had a day of work booked for an age :( sounds intriguing though!
Bah, the london tattoo conventions on that weekend!
alas I cannot attend, any other weekend and id be there with bells on!
I may have spoken too soon - I've just been reminded that my mum's birthday is on the following Monday (I should probably have known that without needing to be reminded!) so there's good chance we'll be going out for a meal on either the Saturday or Sunday. I may still be able to come as they live considerably closer to Nottingham than I do, but I may need to leave early...
Hmm. I seem to recall Robey mentioning Maelstrom games opening a venue near Nottingham. Might this be worth a look, if the problem with October is that Warhammer World is booked up?
Maelstrom Games are in Mannsfield, use of the hall is free, but you have to buy your drinks there...
i may have a contact i can poke if peole don't mind playing away from WHW (Maelstrom lack decent sized terrain (http://buildyourimagination.co.uk/files/maelstrom2.JPG) as well mind :( )
they got a few tables :)

(each 12'x6', 9 or 10 per row :O )
Games Day is 26th September, so the day before is definitely not going to get approval from SWMBO.
However, having said that, I might be able to manipulate some contacts to give us the chance to book a date further away than 2 months.

Buggrit - Games Day. Forgot about that little sausage. I imagine you won't be the only one attending that Robey. I'm beginning to think that I should really just bottle up the Amulets until the new year. I'd much prefer to put on a day that a bunch of you can enjoy.
I think Warhammer World appeals to me more than Maelstrom games due to Bugman's, good terrain and the potential to do some shopping. Old stick in the mud I may be.
What sort of date next year would be good for folk? If you could wrangle a day in January Robey, that would be great. Plenty of notice really is a requirement for these events - shame Warhammer World took the ability to plan in advance away from us!

Maybe try asking to speak to a member of their events team - that's who I went through to organise the Spring Conclave & IGT. You can only book a month or two in advance if you go through the WHW staff, but the events team should let you book much further in advance (but you'll be restricted to weekends that aren't free play weekends and don't have some other event on).
I'm being a pirate at chatham that weekend :'(
Well, that's been a week and I don't have ten players, so I'll have to forego running the day on the 25th. I think the new year is much more reasonable. End of January sound good to people? Leaves a couple of months before the Grand Tournament. Could of course put it off til after the tournament, but I need my Inquisitor fix! I'll try and get in contact with the events team soon to see what would be available.

End of January, I'll be helping to run the Hammerhead convention... although it occurs to me that this could be a suitable venue for a meet.
If you're interested, I'll get the details.

No harm in having a look I suppose. Cheers Robey.
