[Drums of War] Deception in Durotar!

[Shieldmaiden]

While waiting to board the zeppelin to Northrend, a group of young Horde warriors is pulled aside and ordered to investigate a murder in a small orcish settlement. The mission seems simple enough, but looks can be deceiving and the baking expanse of Durotar can easily claim the lives of the unwary.

The next Drums of War playtest session will be helmed by yours truly! We've decided to alternate between his Alliance game and my Horde game in order to test as many of the rules as possible.

The session will be held over IRC at 1PM PST/4PM EST/9PM GMT on Saturday. jjohnson1, Superman's Dead and J Arcane are already signed up, but I'm more than happy to take an extra player or two.

Characters will start at level three and be Horde races only. You are, of course, free to create whatever class and race you wish, however there is a strong chance that any Forsaken or blood elves will get a hard time from the local orcs. This ain't no MMO, we roleplay here!

I'll also add that we have paladin, warlock, rogue and mage playtest characters already, so if anyone wants to give any of the other classes a shot, it'd be much appreciated.

[J Arcane]

I get to play this time! Yay!

And of course, we've got some new rules changes (http://drumsofwar.wikia.com/wiki/Errata_and_Revision_Notes)to test, so starting new characters is probably for the best anyway.

Hmm. Wonder what I should play.

[Hemalin]

I'd be interested in trying this out. Try out that Death Knight.

[Lint of Death]

I'm tentatively interested. I'd most likely play a warrior.

Question: why can't warriors use shields?

[J Arcane]

That, my dear sir, is what we call, an "errata". ;)

I'll get that in the list and fix it in the next draft.

rest assured, Warriors are intended to be able to use shields.

[J Arcane]

I got my character ready! Check it out:

[Vyzov]

I'd totally be up for giving this a shot. I'll gladly give a priest a shot, it was what I enjoyed the most in the MMO.

[Superman's Dead]

Then it looks like I'ma go Hunter. =)

[J Arcane]

Then it looks like I'ma go Hunter. =)
Might wanna look at that sheet I just posted . . .;)

[Hemalin]

Here's a Death Knight (http://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B1_z7uWE0h3vOTNkOGI1YjUtOTY0NC00YmMyLWJjM jktYzY4MzI5NzI5NDNj&hl=en&authkey=CMaG3YkL) I've made. I think I've got everything.


I thought Google Docs was supposed to work with .odt, it seems to want to give me trouble.

[J Arcane]

It will host an ODT, but it won't convert it or preview it.

Also, apparently jjohnson1 can't make it if we play on Saturday at our same time from last week.

Any chance we can move to Sunday?

[J Arcane]

So guys, we still on for today?

[Shieldmaiden]

Dammit, I forgot to post that I'm fine with Sunday. I've had a friend here since Wednesday, so my posting has been somewhat sporadic.

[J Arcane]

Cool, that's fine, I just wasn't clear on the plans. jjohnson1 will be happy to get to play I think.

[Shieldmaiden]

Bah, I'm going to have to take a raincheck for this weekend. Can we reschedule for next weekend, I can do either day.

[J Arcane]

OK. jjohnson1's not working next weekend so we can play either day.

[Superman's Dead]

I'm sorry, I didn't even check this thread. =/ I'm down for whenever, just shoot me a PM to be sure I read it =)

[J Arcane]

Bumping this thread to remind folks about game this weekend!

We on for Saturday at 1PM PST again?

[Shieldmaiden]

That's fine with me.

[J Arcane]

Woo! Now I just have to decide which character to play . . . :D

[Superman's Dead]

I don't know if I'll be able to make it, I have an audition at 11:30 and I'll be on the bus back. But I think you guys have enough people without me. Good luck. =)

[J Arcane]

It's just about 1pm, and I've got the channel up, irc.magicstar.net, #drumsofwar.

[Lint of Death]

I just realized that I forgot to attend. Life got in the way. So sorry! :(

[J Arcane]

That's OK. Looks like all of us forgot too. I had an errand to run anyway, so I would've had to skip.

BigJonno you on for maybe running it tomorrow?

[Shieldmaiden]

I can't today, I'm afraid. It's move-in day for one of my housemates.

[J Arcane]

Shit, I'd all but forgotten until just now about game today.

Do we want to give it a go? Or tomorrow?
