Greetings all!

Karl and Liz are heading off to see John Carter, in IMAX 3D, on Friday 9 March for the 6:30pm session. 
Scantily-clad warriors! Scantily-clad princesses!  A pleasing variety of CGI monsters and aliens! Something for everyone!
All are invited to come along, send an email and we might even be able to meet for food and drink beforehand.

>From the IMAX website:

Edgar Rice Burroughs' classic tale of interplanetary adventure arrives on the giant IMAX screen in this sweeping sci-fi spectacle marking the live-action debut of Oscar-winning director Andrew Stanton (Finding Nemo, WALL-E).

See you there!

Liz

Sunday March 4th and March 18th : Pathfinder Planescape and Dark Heresy

Felix (Pathfinder) and Redmond (Dark Heresy) continue their awesome games

Recent events in the Pathfinder Planescape game include a visit to a less

In Dark Heresy the initial scenario, Illumination, is completed giving the
players a typical introduction to the themes of order, heresy, corruption
and mutation.

Message-ID: <CAJgdLVFRHJz92M1AYeAptZ_z3a+fLmAOP1uJp2CC03FWot7YHw@mail.gmail.com>

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Regarding tomorrow's session of Dark Heresy, I have a slight dilema - I can
run the session, however I have to finish around 4pm as I have a friends
party to attend.  For the gamers concerned, I therefore propose three
alternatives....

1) Be at COG at 1.30pm for a 2pm on-the-dot-start and run until 4pm

2) Start the session early (1pm or earlier, Lev can you see if there is any
issue with this re space) and run until 4pm.

3) Postpone until the next available slot.

Please repsond promptly.  I apologise for the late notice.  Based on the
response, I will endeavor to confirm by 10am tomorrow via email what the
solution shall be.


Cheers


Redmond

Hi, Redmond,

                     I vote "postpone". Lev, could you please bring
Battletech or some other game if that's the concensus?

Minneapolis, Minnesota, March 16, 2012

Professor Muhammad Abd-al-Rahman (MAR) Barker, known to his friends as
"Phil"; died peacefully in home hospice on March 16, 2012 with his wife
Ambereen Barker at his side. Professor Barker is survived by his wife of 53
years, Ambereen. Details on memorial services will follow.  In lieu of
flowers, memorials to the T?kumel Foundation are preferred, visit

Professor Barker was responsible for writing the game and world for
"Empire of the Petal Throne" (T?kumel), one of the earliest roleplaying
systems (1975), notable for the extraordinary cultural richness for this
science-fantasy setting.

Sad to see him go.
Perhaps we should play a session of my Oringinal Empire of Petal  
throne some time as a tribute...

You have an original? TSR edition? Wow.

I've picked up two copies of the Different World Publications (1987) which
is word-for-word identical, but having the 1975 original (or even '74
self-published) is something else entirely.

Whilst the system in of '75 vintage (i.e., it sucks) the world is awesome.
I'd be up for a tribute game.

All the best, Lev

Yes I have the original and someone gave it to me (they got it for  
20cents at a garage sale!). Lets see what I can do in the next couple  
of months. Likely to be a five encounter one session game with pregen  
characters like I did for FC a while back.

Well this is considered to be fair market value these days.

Looking forward to this as a game - say late April instead of the regular
Diaspora?

All the best, Lev

I make it Dark Heresy/Other Stuff, with Karl's stuff on the 8th

Note that Lev won't be there on Sunday, as he is in NZ, but Rick has the keys.

Hey gang,

Karl and I are back, and I realise that once again I have no idea what is on this Sunday (April 1st).

Any hints?

     If the 8th is Easter Sunday, it's time for Bunnies And Burrows, or, if
Lev is going to keep his promise, Bunnies And William S. Burroughs . . .

For those who don't know about MAR Barker I found this on the net:

A Better Game

Fond Rememberance for the Professor
One thing that I was glad got some attention amidst last week's  
kerfuffle is the respectful acknowledgment of Professor Barker's  
passing. I received this exceptional letter that I just had to share -
It is a sad day indeed. Most people know of the contributions of Dave  
and Gary, but few know about Barker.
When D&amp;D first emerged, there was virtually no plot and no need  
for complex roleplay. Morality was rigidly defined in terms of good  
and evil, and the group of adventurers were always on the side of  
righteousness. On the rare occasions when players interacted with  
non-player characters, their nature could be quickly determined by  
names such as "King Trueheart, the Wise" and "Scytharax, the  
Bloodthirsty". These campaigns followed what is now called the "hack  
'n slash" method because the characters relied almost exclusively on  
that tactic to resolve negotiate their environment. The characters had  
purely adversarial relationships with almost every being they  
encountered, and the only strategies required were how to avoid the  
traps and slay anything in their path. The shift away from this old  
format and into the modern methods of play is one of the most vital  
changes to increasing both enjoyment and engrossment for players, and  
it originated with M.A. Barker's Empire of the Petal
Throne. His was the first system to treat the world as a navigable,  
interactive space that was as important to the characters as the  
dungeons. This concept became so popular that games no longer revolve  
around linear plots and menacing dungeons. Now, each world is truly a  
rich creation that incorporates as many types of reality as the  
narrator and players can imagine. It is now common, for example, for  
players to invent entire histories of the lives of their characters,  
chronicling their childhoods, their relationships with their parents  
or other key figures, and important events that shaped them into the  
"person" they are now. Many narrators will incorporate difficult moral  
choices into their campaigns that are intended to test the characters,  
and the players themselves have infinite freedom to respond to these  
situations by choosing to be good or evil, chaotic or lawful, or any  
shade in between.
Before Barker gaming was just gaming, Barker brought the roleplaying  
into Fantasy Roleplaying. His ideas were the greatest contribution to  
modern roleplaying as we know it.
I agree with you. We have truly lost a giant, and most gamers today  
don't even know his name or what he did for us.
So... M.A. Barker....We salute you.

Thank you, Christopher, and thank you Professor for your wonderful

Traditionally Easter Sunday is our annual Bunnies & Burrows game.

I have offered to run Bunnies & Burroughs, a William S. Burroughs style
game, this year using the Over The Edge game system.

I reckon I'll have it in order :)

Best wishes, Lev

PS: I'll try to get an issue of The CoG out today as well

Excellent.

When should I pencil in the next Diaspora?

Also maybe next Easter could be Bunnies and Edgar Rice Burroughs?
