You were very generous in playtesting a significant rules revision, and I really like the direction things are going in. I also got some really good feedback afterwards- I think we can make things more streamlined next time, and preserve most of the course-plotting crunch. The good news is that the mechanics should be largely the same next time out- I think this is the first time in the Saltbox sessions I can say that. Huzzah!

Any room on board for a newbie this weekend?

I think we can manage to fit you in. I posted the time and location upthread; looking forward to meeting you.

I hope I somehow hit level 7 this time. Brinescale will be one save away from the dreaded finger of death. That's what happens when you subvert a member of the church!

The B-Strat is at 333 Court Street, Brooklyn, NY, 11231. There's a small cover charge, but if that's an obstacle PM me; I have a small number of passes. See you then!

I'd prefer to play in a 3-4 hour chunk sometime between 12 to 8.

Agreed on both counts. I'll try to get things worked out with the Brooklyn Strat tomorrow and update.

Is there a preference about time? I may try to get a table reserved at the Brooklyn Strat.

I'll know better closer to the time and I'll let you know.

is my guy the Nameless Cleric of Poseidon?!

I remember you saying his name wasn't Poseidon any more, but I don't recall hearing what it was (and it's not in my notes). Plus, "The Nameless Cleric of Poseidon" sounds cool.

Yarr, landlubbers, I be leadin' ye on a trip to Davy Jones's locker - check for traps! The Lord Poseidon bids me to sail either Saturday or Sunday as the winds decree.

LOLNOM's and Spy Trees for all!

Who will refit these ships and terrorize the North Seas? Who will be the instrument of the Nameless Cleric of Poseidon's wrath towards Brinescale and her wyrmish brood? Who will strike down the twelve-headed, troll-blooded hydra of the Broken Isles?

The Saltbox is an ocean-going D&D sandbox run in the ACKS (a B/X-like retro-clone) ruleset, with some addenda for better sailing. If you're interested, please post questions or your availability for the weekend of the May 19-20 below.

Sun, 5/20
Charlatan (GM) yes
foner yes
James Nostack yes
OtspIII maybe
TavisAllison maybe
