Oh I like that idea ... and Basalic will be at the pub with Boulder ...
But yeah .. getting all the like minded PCs together to share ideas and
experiences seems to me like a good one ... and each PC gets to know
other PCs in their College etc .. and not having to wait until being on
the same adventure.
I suppose we could set up forums to accomplush this if we want to use an
on-line mechanism - just my 2 cents wort - but .. yeah .. let's go for
this one. More fun for PCs outside adventuring is always good.

I agree ... those were fun ... they may have been a right pain in the
proverbial to organise but they were really good .. and different.
Maybe it's time for something like that again to get players excited.

History does show that an external threat can have a unifying influence
(which is why I'm waiting for the alien invasion or the zombie
apocalypse ... or something like that to unify mankind *g*) so yeah ...
if we can organise something like that again that could be an
interesting motivator.
