In honor of both Talk Like a Pirate Day, and Dungeons & Dragons Game Day I will be running a D&D game with pirate PCs!

The PCs are a band of merry pirates who have been raiding looting the merchant ships of Drakko Bay for several years. They have grown skilled, powerful and merciless. The previous baron allowed the PC's to operate unchecked, that is, as long as they cut him in on the loot. However, last week a huge dragon descended on the barony, killed the baron, most of his elite guard and made off with his infant son as well as loads of treasure, including the family sword.
The new baron, appointed by the prince has asked to see you and promised you amnesty for the duration of the meeting...you know where this is leading don't you?

Don't fall overboard or you will be squirted! Dressing like a pirate will earn you rewards, and pirate talk is encouraged!

Arrr, thar be dragons off the port bow!!

While Maddman and Shellbelle are away at GenCon I thought I would organize a meetup for those of us stuck at home. Saturday August 15th at Mecca Games.

So the game will be the Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition module Scepter Tower of Spellgard, run by Andrew 2.0.
At the height of Netheril's power, the fortress of Spellgard held many great secrets of the Empire of Magic. Now only ruins remain...and one last guardian, the near-mythical Lady Saharel, whose prophetic visions draw the desperate and the doomed from across Faerun. But a dark presence in one of the Spellgard's intact towers wants to control the power of prophecy for itself and remake the future in its own image.

I will be canceling the late game. Sorry. Something has come up and I can't get out of it.
If someone else wishes to run a game at the 6-10pm time slot then please ask.

This Saturday was a huge success. Fun was had by all, and we got to game with some new folks. Everyone got to compare OD&D with 4e, and my conclusion anyway was 'D&D is fun!'

Anyway, something different this month. I'll be putting out a call to all our GMs to see what they might run, then figure out who is running which game. If we get enough, we could do four games - so RSVP yes and tell your friends!

This is our first Saturday meetup. I'm hoping to get more people out, and turn it from a monthly 'game and greet' into more of a mini-con. There will be at least two games going on and more stuff on the side. So come by the message boards and we'll talk about what we're doing, what people are running, and so on.

Hope to see you all there!

We've got a good core of people, I'd like to expand it to turn the meetups into more of an event. So here's what I'm thinking.

- We'll provide some food for everyone who RSVPs.
- Talk with people about what kind of gaming they're doing, what they're looking for.
- Talk about what we can do to help grow the meetup group.
- Discuss activities we could plan other than play a one-shot RPG game.

From there, we'll start the scheduled one-shot RPG game as usual. Everyone is welcome to come and watch, or bring some card games in case we get too many for one game. Hey, I'm always hopeful!

Anyway, I hope to see everyone there on Thursday the 21st!
