Knight Realms Gaming Club

There will be no gathering of the Knight Realms Gaming Club in May since we have both a regular event and the week in the life event.

The June gathering of the Knight Realms Gaming Club will be on Thursday, 6/14.

The July gathering of the Club will be on Thursday, 7/26 prior to the July event.

Due to the renting of the camp for the next two weeks, I am sorry to say the June meeting of the Knight Realms gaming club is cancelled.

We plan on meeting @ 6pm on Thursday, 7/26 after day camp. Be sure NOT to show up early to the camp on this date.

Thanks and we will make sure we plan a special event to make up for missing the May and June gatherings. Tell your friends and lets come back in a big way.

Thanks!!

The KR gaming club will meet @ 6pm, this Thursday, 7/26 after the day camp.

A featured game of the new 6th edition of Warhammer 40k will be played by two veteran players. Stop by and let us check out the new rules together! Don't want to watch someone else have fun? No problem, we will have lots of space for you to claim a table, grab some of our terrain and run your own game! Bring your army and engage your opponent in a 500-1000 pt game.

Back by popular demand, a miniature painting seminar. Learn basic and advanced techniques of miniature painting from experienced painters.

40K not your thing? Bring your own card, board, rpg or wargame and play at the gaming club.


The Staff will award prizes throughout the night!


Reminder: Please be sure NOT to show up before 6pm to the camp.

Here is a small part of what you missed if you missed the KR Gaming Club in July ...

The KR gaming club or "Game Knight" is this Thursday, 8/23 @ 6pm.

Bring your army for a pick up game of 40k. Bring your favorite board, card or miniature game to play in our spacious and well lit facility.

Hot dogs, snacks and drinks will be available for purchase!

Terry will be painting tonight, so if you have questions on technique, stop by and ask him.

See you tonight!!!

I plan on starting a somewhat unconventional game of 3.5 D&D at this game night, and it will likely continue for at least the next 2 or 3.

The game will be run for 3-6 players.
I will not run for less than 3, and if more than 6 are interested, I'm simply going to choose who plays based partly on what kind of character you have and partly by priority of how much I like you. I won't turn anyone away if there are open slots, but if a slot is contested, I will choose first by what the party will need more, and second by straight-up favorites. Luckily, due to the format of this game, if you cannot make it every time, it is an easy game to have characters enter and leave more or less on a whim. This also means someone who was unable to get in on tomorrow's game may find an open spot in the future.

How is it unconventional?
-It's significantly more player-driven than many 'standard' campaigns. There is little in the way of overall plot, as this story focuses less on missions given by NPCs and more on the PCs abilities to fend for themselves.
-Rules that I usually consider nitpicky and don't bother with (Ammo count, rations, encumbrance, etc.) will be of utmost importance, and thus careful track must be kept of such things.
-It is a low-powered game, and will likely not run long enough to become a high-powered one, although we'll see how that goes, since it could conceivably turn into a full-scale campaign if enough interest or regular players are generated over time.
-Gold will be worth next to nothing unless the game becomes a full-on campaign.

How do I get in on this?
Simply bring a level 1 character suitable for the Eberron setting to game night. You can use any race, class, or mundane items from any splat book you can bring with you for reference, though I reserve the right to veto anything brokenly unforeseen. There are no restrictions on alignment.
Generate ability scores by rolling 4d6, re-rolling 1's, and dropping the lowest number.
As far as items go, you can give yourself 1 masterwork piece of gear (weapon or armor) and may start with any mundane items you could feasibly carry. For gold, pick any two-digit number (or roll d%), and that's the amount of gold you have, but trust me when I say gold won't be very important or useful.

Also, if someone could bring a battle mat, I'd appreciate it, as I don't own one. I usually don't bother with them, but I have a feeling it could make parts of this game easier to run.

EDIT: I have an old school veteran of both KR and my campaigns in Hackettstown who has no ride to game night. If anyone can get him on their way, I will gladly negotiate compensation. I'd get him myself, but by the time I went from work to there to the camp, it would already be at least 8:30, and I'd have little time to prepare, much less run, the game.

Any further questions, feel free to PM to me.
