Works schedules seem to be OK this week, so we’ll game on Friday unless someone has trouble making it. Please let us know if you’ll have any trouble– otherwise, we’ll game Friday.

Next Game: Dunno
This upcoming Friday is the 4th of July. Do we want to meet some other time this weekend (Saturday or Sunday), or does it just not match our schedules? Let me know if any time is particularly good or bad and we’ll see if there’s sometime that works for everyone.
UPDATE: I spoke with Kev last night. He’s working unavailable Friday, works 1-10 on Saturday, and 11-7 on Sunday. It doesn’t look like we’ll manage to get our normal game up and running, though Jennifer and I are discussing backup options if there’s interest and availability.

Next Game: Friday June 27th
Please let us know if you’ll have any problem with making it this week. We left off just after your ambush of the Ogre camp, the rescue the gnomes, and the interrogation of the fallen Ogre. We’ll resume next with with the characters at 6th level. See you then!
UPDATE: As Kevin mentioned below, he’s not going to be able to make it when we start, but he encouraged us to begin without him. Unless you hear otherwise, we’ll play as usual tonight.

Cool Initiative Idea
Bruce Brown had a great idea on the FATE list for initiative.
The theory goes that GM calls out the adjectives on the ladder in descending order. Players can then use any skill that matches or exceeds that at any point during the round.

Gnome Stew
I don’t know if I mentioned it, but I’m currently writing articles for Gnome Stew. There are a lot of great authors, most of whom came from the Treasure Tables blog and forum communities. If you’re foolish, you can read only my posts this way.
If you have a comment that’d be a good part of the conversation, head on over and join in. If you’d rather chew me out, here’s a good place to do it. 😉

Martin reviews 4e books in detail. An excellent review.
From Doyce: Watching the 4.0 DnD release, and The DnD 4.0 game with the seven-year old got even more awesome.
4e FAQ (from Reading Dragon mailing list):
My response from Customer Service is that if a monster has two or more basic attacks, you can select which one you want to use in and opportuity attack situation.
Standing from prone does not generate opportunity attacks (OA). gleemax thread
Here is Customer Services ruling on slowed shifting. It exposes a new way to deal with rules precedence: “can’t trumps can.” As suggested in the basic mechanics of the game on page 11, specific trumps general, though when specific and specific conflict (as in this situation), we rule that can’t trumps can. Thus if you’re slowed, you’re limited to two squares of movement, regardless of the type of movement, unless the power/ability specifically says otherwise.
Now more than ever– is it time to buy Firey dragon counters print them on cardstock?

Next Game: Friday June 20th
Life got in the way of playing on the 13th– or the fear of Friday the 13th was just too strong. Kev and Dad aren’t available on Saturday night, so let’s play on Friday! As ever, let us know if you’ll have any problem making it Friday.
Session canceled for Friday the 13th. (Old info below)
Spooky! I suspect beads will be in heavy use given that we’ll be playing on Friday the 13th.
It doesn’t look like people need the posts up here on the blog– does anyone really want these reminder posts? Do you hop over to the calendar, or are we just used to Fridays. If we do more Saturday games, will that make a difference?
