Depends on player responses.

I'm ready.

The flip between systems is a bit disorienting. Anyway, what have we decided to do?
I still vote for the gnome-business but would go anywhere.

You mean the flip from 3E Ravenloft to 2E Povero?



Although my preference these days leans toward AD&D 2E or Classic D&D I'm certainly open to booting up a new 3E game if that is what people would prefer.

Not, I'd say, for Povero.

All the work of converting characters and notes doesn't appeal to me. Might as well do a new game, in that case.

I kinda like the retro aspect of Povero. Makes me want to order and wear a t-shirt of cryptic words that will pass unnoticed and unrecognized by most if not all RPers of today.

Cool.

So we have:

ALHOON
STEVE
VAN
ADAM


Shall I open recruiting for a couple more players?

I think Lord Skybolt is probably too busy these days.

Don't laugh!

It is surprising at how many people have no idea who to calculate it

Ascending AC was a sensible change, as it eliminated a step in combat calculations.
But it's not as if it was a hard step.

I am practically unemployed and I don't have that much time... You live a good life my friend.

Ewan: Do we need more? I don't mind either way.
If you think we could use a couple more... is Kintire interested perhaps? Or grab some newbies?

And what did we agreed to do after all?

Kintire was interested, but is now rather busy. Still in for Ravenloft, though. :)

RE party's next move--you guys have not reached an agreement.

Alfonse is the default group leader, so we could give him a double vote, if you like.
Adam, thoughts?

Right now it is:

Gertie= let's go south with the Burgoddins.

Fild= let's go investigate this murder on Chimbley Head, in gnome country.

Alfonse= Gaarrrhhh! Pickpockets!

Tom: (no opinion given, presumably will go with Gertie if he doesn't have a different notion)

Sixt(maybe not in group--need to check with Lord Skybolt)
