Progress report (03.01.08)
What I'm doing at the moment is trying to figure out:
- how many gamers we've got & when they want to chuck dice in Dunster
- what they want to play
- what scale they want to play in
- what they can bring
- what they are happy to let others use
Once I've got a rough idea [in the next few days I hope] I'll be producing a *very* loose plan - which will obviously go out the window once we get started!
Dave Fielder's wife is going to help with sorting out B&B links etc so folks can book directly - I will post this info here once I've got it.
In terms of eating etc, there are a number of options for Friday & Saturday night - ranging from a fish & chip / McDonald's run; through delivered pizza / chicken / kebabs; to pub & buffet/ menu - right up to full-on restaurant shenanigans - again, we'll do a straw poll of attendees [I can make local arrangements in advance for pub etc]
I'm thinking ot trying to gain some sponsorship for prizes (just for fun - this is NOT a tournament) - if anyone's got links to games companies etc, let me know
Extra-curricular activities: Not just a tour of the wonderful medieval village of Dunster, but ideas for unwinding after a hard-day's gaming (especially on Saturday):
- poker / blackjack
- different wargames that people would like to play - feel free to suggest anything I might have [eg NapoleonicMaster, ECWarmaster, WFB, Mordheim, LotR, etc etc]
- gamer's pub quiz - team event
- one-off whacky game - I've got a few of these, ranging from zombie-survival, through chariot-racing, to Deathball to tank-tag...
- DVD film-show - with beer & popcorn - I've got plenty of suitable films, or bring your own...
- any more ideas???
