Boring meetup at Cianty's home ???

haha, And we will make a detour trough Belgium to pick up some chocolates if we must!

Pfreck, I think that'll be ok, we are four in the car then (not too big a car though, so matt will have to fit in the trunk ) don't pack too much, and it should be ok... - about packing too much... Cianty, is there any place we can sleep around your location?

I'm working on the warband like crazy, ant they're turning out nicely, but as my computer crashed, and I'm gonna have to install a mad amount of programs, I can't update you guys yet...

I have one question though, about the rules for the BTB campaign (we are playing that right?) - some of the pages are corrupt in the complete file (images which block out text) is there an updated version? As I very much like to print it, so I can have it at hand - both in Bremen and here.

Cool Ez, thanks!
Hmm, I was more thinking about the dashboard cabinet for Matt!

I really need to get started on my warband as well, I'm still at my Dad's place until Monday evening.. so no modelling can be done until Tuesday or maybe Monday evening..
That leaves me about a month to convert and paint a warband!

seriously, don't start over again.

@Ez, yes I have been working on an updated version but I haven't finished, let alone uploaded that yet. If you are really going to print the full supplement, then I would provide you with an exlusive link to an updated version (including various errata). Can you tell when you would need it at the latest?

About a sleeping place: When it seemed like it was only three people coming I was considering letting you sleep in my living-room (which is pretty small). But two of you would have to sleep on the chaos-tainted ground. I hostel would definately be better.

There is a hostel very close to my place (5-10 Minutes walk), it's called Townside. This would cost 20 EUR (see "Hauptsaison") for a 6- or 7-bed room. It's super pratical because it's so near, but I don't know if the price is acceptable for you.

I've found the southend hostel, which charges 15 a night, is that close enough to you as well? it's on the Jakobistrasse 23

Seems like a nice location on googlemaps...

Southend to me is 6 minutes says google.

Townside to me is 1 minute.

While 15 EUR seems a lot better than 20, they charge +1 EUR for towels and +2 EUR for bedding. Townside charge 2 EUR deposit only. But if you don't need bedding or towels (I guess you could easily bring that with you for two/three days) then 5 EUR cheaper is something.

Allright!

Guys, what do you think? which shall we take? perhaps we should book?

Hmm, well since we can't take much baggage I think we'd better take the one from €20,- per night. Are both these prices including breakfast or do we have to get that separately as well?
Last time I was at a hostel was about 2 years ago, when me and two friends of mine went to Birmingham for Gamesday UK. They charged about €20 per night as well, but that was excluding breakfast. Since we where basically in City Centre we thought we could easily get something to eat before we went to Gamesday.. Turned out NOTHING was open before 11AM.. While there where construction workers working on buildings and stuff.. on a SUNDAY..

Hopefully this doesn't happen again, because I can assure you - it wasn't really fun to have eaten only two Krentenbollen and a Hotdog that costed about €5 on the entire day...

it's excluding breakfast... but we could get shitloads of krentebollen to avoid being stuck on 2 a day?

Southend offers small breakfast for additional 2,50 per day. Bige breakfast 4,50.

Townside doesn't list a price for breakfast. I can't believe that it is included.. However, here it says "Frühstücksservice" (breakfast service), whatever that means, but it also says: "coffee and tea in the morning for free".

I live in the centre of what one would call "trendy district" with cafés, bars, restaurants, cultural centres, bums, punks - everything you need. So if you liked we could have breakfast altogether somewhere near me on Saturday.

I think so

Do you guys have any idea when you will be arriving on Friday and when you will be leaving on Sunday?

I am asking because I want to prepare some things and I wonder when and how many games we will be able to run.

On Sunday, I'd like to leave 14:09 by train. As for the arrival, let's see what Ezekiel has in mind

yeah, I guess the departure would be somewhere around 15.00 for us, as we have to make it all the way back home in time to work :S

Arrival, I'll get back to you on that soon, as I'll start working again on monday, :S and will have to ask my boss for a day off on friday, so we could arrive somewhere around dinner time?
I figure it's about a 5/6 hour drive (in a happily cramped car! haha)

Well, we can take kind of a tray with us and have some Arena fighting on the back seat to pass the time. And we can sing a little to entertain you, Ez

god nooooooes! not the 100 bottles of beer!?

just checked, it's only a 4 hour drive! so the singing won't be nessisary (how does one spell that word!?) - even though matt looks like a little choirboy, he doesn't sound like one!

Muahaha!

Was that necessary?

Don't worry, I'd sing for you even on a half an hour drive, so prepare yourself And there's no need to bring 100 bottles of beer from the Netherlands as we are going to GERMANY, so that would be rather not so clever Better buy it cheaper and tastier in Bremen.

Bremen = Beck's Town Bremen (BTB?)

Beck's

However, the BTB coincidence is striking Smells like a world conspiracy.

is that where it comes from? - crap! I never really liked becks... then again, I only drunk it high up in the alpes, where for some obscure reason, they fail horribly at tapping beers... so it might have been their fault...

Cianty, thanks for helping me out on that one!

oh, and on the printing of BTB, I think I'd need it the week before the meeting at the latest so I hope that's ok with you - thanks in advance though!

I'll hurry up then.

These are the scenarios I am thinking of playing with you guys (some parallel so not everyone can take part in each of them).

- Last Order (with everyone)
- Avalanche
- Horrors of the Underground
- The Tainted Copse
- Man Hunt (maybe)
- Ghartok's Tomb
- Siege! (with everyone)

Thoughts/comments/suggestions?

- The Tainted Copse

Oh my god, everybody run for the tainted cops!


Haha, okay no jokes..
Cool idea's for the scenario's, I particularly would like to play the Horrors of the Underground, mainly because the board is so damn awesome! But then again, all your terrain is frickin' awesome..

I really need to get my lazy arse into gear to finish my warband in time.. if only my mail snail-order with bitz would come in faster!

I am a bit unsure about the Horrors scenario... because despite the tiles that I do have I still don't have enough for an entire game so it is necessary to use printed black/white tiles in addition. That's not so great looking of course. Considering that you will all be taking pictures like crazy this might not be so cool...

Yet, this would be an opportunity to play this scenario for some of you. Depends on you.

lol @ snail mail
