    At the last meeting John brought up the idea of having different SIGs for different intrests.

    Myself and a few others have expressed an interest in Role Playing Games (RPGs) such as The SW RPG, D&D (Dungeons and Dragons), and TMNT RPG (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles).

    I would like to know who would be interested in starting up this SIG (post here or PM me)

    Once I have a general idea of intrest we can begin to decide where and when to have it.

    Looking forward to it.

    -Kevin

    OK, but I didn't use the term "sect". Makes us seem like an extremist organization!

    The term generally used amongst other fan clubs appears to be Special Interest Groups (SIGs).

    So yes, I would be interested in seeing a Gaming SIG develop; as well as a Book SIG and and a Costuming SIG.

    Well I would like to try my hand at gming a short couple of adventures with a few of us, since I am relatively well-versed on the SW RPG rules. But yes, as I said earlier I am definitely for helping head this up in some way.

    I dont think there are stats for those, Justin. I'll check to be sure :D

    I'll see what I'm up to this weekend and see if anyone wants to play an adventure or two that I have.

    Update:

    The first meeting of the RPG SIG was a great success. We continued Wil's SW d20 campiagn. It was alot of fun.

    The question is now. What Where and When do we continue?

    The TMNT campaign should be ready by the end of the week. Any players for that are welcome aswel as any new players for SW d20 are welcome aswell (it should be easy with a good GM)

    March break is coming up. I think that would be a good time to continue, as long as no one is going away for the week.

    Suggestion...

    How about we set something up at Brock. Those who want to play can meet in the area Tim told us about (public). Those that want to hit the pool can do that also.
    Plus we can add a meeting in to go with it (mind you we have no new business to discuss...yet)

    Success, it was, Kevin. Now that we've played the game the first time around with each other and I know what the characters are capable of, I won't just be throwing 8 stormtroopers at you! :D I also read over combat and some other sections once again; I think now that we seem to have the basics pretty much down we can let feats play in more.

    Oh, and next time, we won't use any fancy-dancy figures to illustrate walking down a ladder (not naming names) :)

    As for the TMNT, I'm looking forward to your campaign. For sure I'm in.

    I am always interested in trying out a little RPG. Though the only experience I have is freestyle Online Roleplaying I would love an oppurtunity to try it in a new medium.

    - When and where are you guys meeting next?
    - Is there room for one more person? Do you mind me joining in?
    - Do I need to prepare anything?
    - Do we get to create our own characters?

    Well the current campaign has 3 PC's. I guess 1 or 2 extra won't hurt (1 spot reserved for John).

    Currently this campaign is being run on a weekend at my house. However, other campaigns and sessions could be run just about anywhere with a table and some peace and quiet. The characters essentially have the same characteristics, and they are changed along the way as the player wishes.

    Well all I need is someone to teach me this stuff. I figured if I came out to an event and wacthed and maybe played a little i would get the hang of it and could get serious about it.

    I just never know when wnaything is happening.

    Here is my suggestion...

    How about a game this weekend at Phoenix Rising? Lots of tables, and maybe we can attract a few new members to YJN by having the games there once in awhile.

    Saturday may not be good, but Brian is open on Sunday as well.

    We can try for a Saturday, might have to go earlier or later perhaps. I can also find out what times are good to grab a spot for say 6-8 people.

    Well we can see if there isnt a tournament this weekend and we can play there. That really is a good idea John. Never thought about drawing attention to YJN, especially in P.R.

    We're looking to have a game wednesday.
    I hope no one minds, but I began writing my very own campaign on the side, along with John. It sometimes is tough to write based on Episode III speculation and non-written EU, and with most of us being relatively new to this, I wanted to start everyone off with first level characters so you get used to your character from day one.So as a second project I decided to start a Rebellion campaign.

    It focuses on 3-5 young soldiers gaining entry to the Rebel Alliance, then helping fight the Empire over the events of pre-ANH to post-ROTJ, provided they survive.

    Those who want to play (Kevin, Andrew, James, John, anyone), let me know, and we will probably have a game on Wednesday at Phoenix Rising or my house.

    2. If your game is ready, we can play this wednesday

    Well get in touch with myself or John. If we cannot get a game tomorrow evening at Phoenix Rising, we can have it at my place again. I'm assuming Kevin and Andrew can make it as well as John (and anyone who would like to learn). Since we are starting from 1st level, n00bs (newbies) are welcome! :)
