Though our usual rp room does have a fire exit door in it so that plus the windows and the interior door would surely create enough of a wind tunnel to move the air about?

Soooo are we going with this then people?
If we need an alternative rp night then I can be online on a Friday or Sunday evening?

Get ready for some cricket related catchphrases and WG DisGraces battlecry of "Grab them by the googlies!" Now who's a silly mid off eh?

"I've had a campaign written for the Pulp Roleplaying System Spirit of the Century for quite a few years that I never got to try in Bristol. The opening mission was designed to be usable as a one-off to be played in 1-3 sessions depending on player appetite. So if Tim fancies a break for a session or 2 I would be happy to run a game." Maybe thats the interim solution while we sort out what system we play next long term? Now imagining WG DisGrace, before the war a talented undergraduate cricketer captaining the Cambridge first XI until being sacked in disgrace due to an 'incident' at Granchester Meadows. Signed up to serve King and Country, spent his time in the trenches hitting grenades back to the Germans with his trusty cricket bat and now uses (his little) brains and brawn for high adventures with friends and aquentences You have captured the setting in a paragraph! So is it 1920s high adventure. A bit like the 1999 The Mummy film? (really great film)

Ok chaps, I'll rustle up a character creation guide and we can go through the deets at a convenient time? Sounds good to me mate.

Well a number of the options planned might take some setting up especially Traveller or Trek, so getting a 1-3 session break where I can play would be fun That sounds suspiciously like a plan!

Ok...the Firefly link has certainly made me want to play Traveller more. Sounds like that'd be the most free form option.

Looks like we are indeed online again today. Maybe next week?
I think it's safest to assume we're still online going forward until we announce that we're not.

The bottom line for me right now is are we opening tomorrow Y or N? Oh I forgot to get the sanitising stuff from Simon on Friday as I'd had a very long week and didn't even remember until Saturday tbh. In light of Tim's comments, I would venture we're a bit of a way from a consensus, so keep it online for now? Okay.

The proposed rules are approximately 90% of what I would ideally like to see. But also include some rules that I feel are unnecessary. However, if the club reopens this coming Monday, I would not feel comfortable attending. Suggestions are more than welcome mate. 🙂

If we have to jump though countless hoops just for the sake of gaming in person then what's the point? We could take a board game whack it down on a table at a local pub and barely have to jump through any hoops at all if any, yet if we go to the club we have to act it's lockdown 1.0 again was the original rules suggestion. Stay on your own table, don't interact with others etc. At this point the only point of gaming in person as opposed to online is interaction in person with everyone. If the club stays in hyper lockdown then I don't see the point in reopening at all until we can game just like we used to. Or at the very least with the bare minimum of relevant restrictions.

Tbh I much prefer role-playing in a world I know well or well enough to know what's going on. Playing in a world I know next to nothing about is far less interesting or satisfying for me personally.

Okay sorry people but in true Wargaming style we failed to decide on the exact rules set to use in time for tonight. We shall try again next Monday when hopefully we'll have more potential attendees and we'll have decided on the rules. In other words we're still virtual tonight.
