Events in 2016 (Latest news: IRE playtest day?)

[Cortez]

Are the still any plans for this event?

How easy is the dark sphere place to get to from victoria station and just to throw a spanner in the works how easy is it to get in/around in a wheelchair? Id like to come even if only to say hi and see ypu all again :$ and show off my finished warband.

I do still want the IRE playtest day to happen, but pushing on with the rules development has been a bit slow recently. Partly that's because feedback on some of my discussions has been a bit thin (which is a bit demotivating, I'll admit), but I've also been messing around with other projects too. (Amongst other things, trying to develop my computer modelling and animation skills).

I'll get back to you lot with new dates when there's something more concrete to test.

How easy is the dark sphere place to get to from victoria station and just to throw a spanner in the works how easy is it to get in/around in a wheelchair?

The public transport from Victoria is:
- Take the Circle or District line to Embankment and then change to the Bakerloo line for Lambeth North.
- Take the 148 bus (from Victoria Street) towards Camberwell Green until, again, Lambeth North.
In either case, it's then about 400 metres down Hercules Road.

I'm guessing the bus is probably the better choice if you need to travel with a wheelchair. It's got no changes, and Lambeth North tube station didn't strike me as being very wheelchair accessible when I came through.

However, the store isn't exactly hugely wheelchair accessible either, as I recall it has (internal) front steps and is a little tight on space inside. (Although probably not so tight that it's impossible).

Would it be possible for you to release an Alpha version of the new rules so we can look at it properly as a whole and do some initial testing of our own? That way we might be able to give you some better/more useful feedback.

Has anyone got another event planned or in the works? It would be good to get at least one more conclave meet in the autumn if this doesn't happen.

Maybe, but quite a lot of my full Alpha version lives in a scrawled notebook and several poorly annotated spreadsheets; a huge portion of the rules-writing effort is working out how to explain those ideas concisely and clearly.

There's certainly loose ends I could leave loose - the effects of grappling don't necessarily need to be rock solid yet, and it's probably not vitally important that I decide how 100+ stats (or modified stats) will work with the inverted success margins at this stage - but there are other areas that I can't leave poorly explained, such as the process of Engaging in close combat.

I'll see what's possible though.

Well, I've still got Legacy in the works, but if I'm honest with myself, me working on two events at once probably means that neither will happen very soon!

Is anyone up for something to happen in say october/november a campaign day or similar somewhere up north? I could start writing and venue finding if there was interest. Maybe WHW could host us idk.

[Lord Borak]

I wouldn't mind another day up at WHW. It would have to be a weekend though and I'm away late Oct and early Nov.

[Cortez]

I'm definitely up for another event this year. WHW is probably the best option although we do need to be careful about non-GW models (we had complaints a couple of events ago).

[Van Helser]

Just thought I should chime in and say that it's pretty unlikely I'll be able to make it to another campaign day this year.  Unless you all fancy coming to Inverness for a game?

although we do need to be careful about non-GW models (we had complaints a couple of events ago).

That was a pretty extreme circumstance; an unpainted model (in a resin that GW have never used) left amongst a table full of P&M entries, Gav's first founding project, my vehicles and lots of other things that we'd deliberately set out for people to take a closer look at.
The staff can't normally tell third-party, scratch-sculpts or conversions apart - and I'm not even sure they necessarily care that much unless it's pretty blatant. I did once get asked about how I'd made my NPC guardsmen, but I wasn't told to stop using them.

Anyway, I am, as always, provisionally interested in an event. I know I've potentially promised to run some, but you'll have to give me some time to work out how feasible that is.

[TallulahBelle]

I'll do some planning dependant on my health and my holiday (will give me something to do on the plane anyway) and the complaint was my fault If I recall with the mini being a mostly 3D print custom job with the rest being cast off a 3d print.

[TallulahBelle]

ok, sorry I was ill and in and out of hospital/the country. I will be ringing WHW this week to see about an event in the early part of next year on Friday.

provisionally what are people like for dates in March?

[MarcoSkoll]

I don't currently know of any commitments I have for Saturdays in March - however, WHW only normally open up bookings two calendar months ahead (plus the current one, of course), so they're not currently booking past the end of January.

[Lord Borak]

I can't do late march but other than that I'm game for a game (see what I did there?). Most weekends I'm free if given enough notice to warm Mrs Borak.

[Cortez]

I've got no commitments for March at the moment.
