Just a reminder that it is the Guild Meeting this Sunday at 1pm.

There will be the normal get together for GMs at 12:30 to discuss adventures
going out and any queries/concerns.
Also for those GMing this session to find adventures for themselves.

Lets not get bogged down in a rules meeting otherwise we won't finish in
time for the guild meeting.

For those adventures going out which were not listed in the minutes, please
post your intention or announcement in this forum, or let the Chair (Clare)
know about it, and ideally turn up at 12:30 at Leicester Hall.

Cheers, Stephen.

Stephen

thanks for the clarification on the purpose of the meeting at 12.30 and 1.00
PM . <f>

I take it that you are advising people not to turn up early to resolve the
Mind college - thank you, I shall go to my other meeting. I was trying to be
proactive - something apparently not encouraged in our small society - and
get the project finalised.

I am happy to enjoy every Sunday, waiting for a phone call to say that a
quorum has formed at a (monthly) gods meeting, get in my car and come along.
<g>

Ian

PS - see you second Sunday in September?

We could have a 5 minutes "why not put the mind college clarifications into
play-test" discussion at the pre-guild gods meeting, and if too much flak
happens, drop it.

Its up to Clare to judge the time and people, and what she wants on the
agenda. That's why she's got the hammer this quarter.

I agree.  
If people have put in the time and effort to create a document which will
help the campaign, and it is ready to be put into play, then to not allow
the five minutes to vote on it is stupid.  Piss off enough people trying to
make the game better and there won't be many left.

Perhaps there should be a vote on what the "quorum" for gods meetings
should be.  

Regards,
Sally

I say we put the motion to playtest without discussion on the detail (as is 
unlikely to be practical to  discuss in 20 minutes for the reasons given 
above). In playtest, GMs can refuse to play it if they feel strongly about 
it. Anyone who doesn't think that they have paid enough attention to have an 
informed opinion (and doesn't trust those that have paid attention enough to 
follow their lead) should abstain. playtest is hardly final, makes a more 
sensible set of write-ups available to all, and promotes thought amoung the 
apathetic.

Cheers
Errol

I just checked our booking and discovered that our booking starts at 1pm not
12:30 as I thought.  This means that we do not have access to the building
until 1pm.

Assuming thats it's a normal sunny Auckland day this is no big deal.  But I
thought I should warn you as standing in the rain for half an hour isn't
most peoples favourite occupation.

Cheers, Stephen.

I found the children's play area to be perfect for a gods meeting <g>

best wishes, Ian
