I just HAD to post this. Apparently Abrams took a shot at Star Wars in the new Star Trek film when he has R2D2 floating as some space debris in the film. This is hilarious. Take that George 'Toy Boy' Lucas! (you get brownie points if you can tell me where thats from) -l8r, Deus_Morte (aka Justin, aka JP, aka a Lurker) |

Greetings, all!
If we can gather enough folks this weekend, how about a combat practice and/or mini-adventure on Saturday or Sunday? I realize this comes not too long after our last get-together, but as for me personally, I have a show running December 3rd through December 22nd and won't be available those weekends.
So, better than early than late, I say, and the weekend before Thanksgiving is usually better than the one after. Already, Bill has said he'd be most likely available, as would probably a decent number of us.
If possible, let's hold this in a more "neutral" location this time -- honestly, Cochran Mill is still one of my favorite game sites. Besides, it's equally far from most of us, except for Jacob and Jared who, I believe, live in College Park.
At any rate, please post or email your interest and availability regarding this weekend. I'll copy and paste this to the Savage Kingdoms group site (groups.yahoo.

That's within striking distance for me, and maybe a few other folks as well.
Still trying to settle upon next gathering date...maybe November 28th, although that's T-giving Weekend, methinks. When we know more, then we can start setting up a time to pick you up if need be.

Hey all!
In case I might've given you the wrong URL to the Savage Kingdoms Yahoo Group site, here's the real and accurate address:
http://games.
My apologies for any confusion. May Crom cast me out of Valhalla and laugh at me! ;-)

Greetings, Justin P.! Thus far, we just have a Yahoo Group site (groups/yahoo. Please join 'em if you can, by Crom! =) -MikeY --- On Thu, 11/12/09, Justin P. <jlp32782@yahoo.

Greetings, MerlinM! MARTA is a pretty decent way to get around Atlanta, and parts of Metro Atlanta, but is sadly rather limited in its range. Most of us "core participants" are located out in the northwestern or northeastern Atlanta suburbs (among other places) where the MARTA rail falls a bit short. However, please let us know where you live, either here or by private email, and maybe you can carpool with one of us next time? We don't (usually) bite...much. ;-) -MikeY --- On Wed, 11/11/09, MerlinM <gareret@yahoo.

Invite 'em along, Jacob! You'll have to be our "official" school recruiter, then. ;-) So, anyone else willing and available for the 21st, 22nd, 28th, or 29th? -MikeY (The Mouthpiece of Crom) --- On Wed, 11/11/09, Jacob Holewinski <the.ranger.of.

Greetings, fellow adventurers!
In wake of the modest success of the last combat practice, and general meeting, it's time to decide upon our next meeting! I believe a photo shoot stands to reason, as well as a mini-playtest adventure. Looking at November 21st, 22nd, 28th, or 29th for this event. Things are coming together pretty quickly for this LARP to take off, so we have to move with it if possible!
I realize that this will be either the weekend before, or after, Thanksgiving, which might pose some problems. The weekend before T-giving is likely to better for most everyone, but let's put it to a casual vote. So, who's available for which time, and how many new folks can you manage to drag along with you? ;-)
The Savage Kingdoms rules are still in early draft, but are about 75% complete (and I must say they're going to be awesome!). The Elfstone core rules are in effect, but with lots of nifty adjustments and additions to better reflect the grim and heroic Hyborian Age setting. Should be pretty darn cool -- just think Conan meets 300 meets Gladiator meets Thirteenth Warrior with a mild dash of Cthulhu!
As for the Photo Shoot idea, we need some good costumed pics for marketing purposes (i.e. websites, flyers, brochures, the usual suspects). If you need help with costume ideas, and aren't that familiar with Robert E. Howard's Hyborian Age world, then just think ancient or Dark Ages real-world cultures: Celtic, Pictish, Roman, Greek, Persian, African, Mongol, etc. Nice touches are things like long hair (real or wig), jewelry, tattoos or war-paint, grim, gritty, and/or exotic.
Instead of a combat practice per se, I'll try to have a mini-adventure ready to run by the date we all decide upon -- maybe 5 or 6 encounters, not all of which will necessarily be combat-oriented. This will allow us to also playtest some non-combat stuff, as well as the more rules-intensive battle stuff.
Event location to be determined soon. Keep an eye on this forum, or your email, for more information! And tell others about us, by Crom! ;-)

| You were missed, Jacob! But, even still, we still had 10 folks who showed up for a little foam weapon fighting exercise. Not too shabby! Thanks to all who came out to Lewis Park, and not only fought in the various combat scenarios we threw together, but gave some valuable feedback on the potentiality of getting another LARP group going again. It looks we're pretty much a go for some Savage Kingdoms action (i.e. the dark heroic world of Conan the Cimmerian)! Maybe next time, Jacob (and Jared)! =) -MikeY (Pict, City Guard, Ghoul, Animated Statue, and several Zombies ;-)) P.S.: Just back from my movie audition. Did pretty, methinks...will hopefully get a call-back in a few days **crosses fingers, practices Scottish accent** --- On Sun, 11/8/09, Jacob Holewinski <the.ranger.of.
