Gaming stuff

[ironphoenix]

Two items:

1: The Carleton U. Strategy Club is doing another bulk order at Fandom II. If there's anything you want to buy there, this is a good chance to get a discount; you can buy things on the order through me if you want. Interested? Let me know!

2: My RoboRally board for CanGames is printed (after some fiddly conversions: CorelDraw is wonderful for some things, but our old printer Just Can't Handle the big vector files), but not yet assembled. It's bigger than usual this year, being 21x21 instead of my usual 15x15; this is because robots will be moving faster than usual. The title this year is Robots! In! Spaaaace!; make of that what you will. There will be a playtest, probably next month; date to be announced once I have a reasonable plan for how to do the assembly work before the thaw.

*blink* We are doing another bulk order? Score. :) I shall certainly participate.

[dagibbs.livejournal.com]

Vector movement with acceleration? That would be cool! And... they could ricochet as well, make it Ricochet Robo Rally!

[ironphoenix.livejournal.com]

Pretty much... and yes, ricochets are also being considered; I'll have to playtest it to be sure, but there will at least be planets with gravity wells.

in the vacuum of space, no one can hear you scream.

For the bulk order... again, the hero rulebook. Maybe this time they will have it.

[jagash.livejournal.com]

They do! (Though I'm grabbing one of them)

[ironphoenix.livejournal.com]

There must be more than one... right? right?

[jagash.livejournal.com]

I hope.

[ironphoenix.livejournal.com]

Gotcha... we'll give it a try!

One of these years...

He will hear us scream. From what he said above, I believe no more than two minutes until the official "Bastaaaard!" first gets vocalised. :)

[ironphoenix.livejournal.com]

Two minutes after I reveal the board, or two minutes after I deal the cards?

[http://users.livejournal.com/niall_/]

Probably both. :)

[ironphoenix.livejournal.com]

Hero mainbook requested; will get you a price when available.

[ironphoenix.livejournal.com]

Out of stock. Again.

Ordering. Again.

Maybe?

[ironphoenix.livejournal.com]

They got it, surprisingly! Sticker price is $48; with 5% GST and 20% discount, that would be $40.32.

for the bulk order, the only thing I want at this point in time is the Base book for Fairymeat. Fandom should still have it.

[ironphoenix.livejournal.com]

Does the "Base book for Fairymeat" involve recipes?

[oni-neko.livejournal.com]

Naw, like most nasty animalistic cannibals they like their meat raw.

[ironphoenix.livejournal.com]

Requested; will reply with price when available.

[oni-neko.livejournal.com]

so noted. and thanks.

[ironphoenix.livejournal.com]

Out of stock, out of print; Fandom will ask their distributors if they have any on shelves though.

[oni-neko.livejournal.com]

*sigh* figures. Thank you for making inquiries.

[oni-neko.livejournal.com]

another possibility has arisen. Tho this may cost more. There is a game from an italian site that has just become available. A game called The Surname of the Rose.
link is here

what d'you think, might it be possible to get this thru fandom and you guys?

[ironphoenix.livejournal.com]

This? We shall try... *sends e-mail*

[oni-neko.livejournal.com]

certainly seems like the right game.

[ironphoenix.livejournal.com]

We checked; Fairymeat isn't available at their distributors, and The Surname of the Rose isn't available in North America yet.

Sorries!

[oni-neko.livejournal.com]

Crap! Ah well, you tried. s' not your fault the things I want aren't available.

[ragnhildr.livejournal.com]

I'd like to participate in the order this time. I'm interested in Princes of Florence and Powergrid.

[ironphoenix.livejournal.com]

Both requested; will reply with prices when available!

[ironphoenix.livejournal.com]

Yay you... both your games are available!

Sticker prices are $44 for PG and $40 for PoF. Assuming we make it to our $1K target, that'll come to $39.78 and $36.16 with 20% discount and 13% tax, for a total of $75.94.

[ironphoenix.livejournal.com]

How would you like to arrange to pay for these? A cheque made out to me or to the Carleton University Strategy Club is OK; alternatively, cash never fails. We'll also need to meet up for delivery; thoughts?

[(Anonymous)]

Sorry for the delay in responding. I can give you cash; that way you won't have to wait for anything to clear.

When do I need to get money to you? I'm not so worried for the delivery since I'm sure we'll eventually both wind up gaming at David's place. I live in the east and work in the south-west.

[ragnhildr.livejournal.com]

*sigh* The above was me.
