New PFRPG Sessions

Author: Games Master
09 21st, 2009

We’ll be starting two new sessions of DnD , using the Pathfinder core rules. This campaign is aimed at people who are new to DnD and are interested in learning the system and experiencing a fantasy system.

There will be two seperate gaming groups

Group 1 : Will play on Sunday Afternoons from 1 PM to 5:30PM every Third Sunday
Group 2 : Will play on Either Thursday or Friday Evenings from 6:30 to 10:30 PM Every two weeks.

The first session will focus on character creation and some initial party introductions and encounters to get everyone ready to play

Then the next 4-5 sessions will run using the first stand alone Pathfinder RPG (PFRPG) module. This will give everyone a chance to learn the rules and their characters, as well as a chance to see how other characters work.

Once that module is finished we’ll allow everyone to make a new character or stick with their original character, and then we will start a fully fledged PFRGP Campaign Path. The Campaign paths are designed to take characters from Level 1 to level 20.

The game will be run in English, the gaming groups are expected to be mixed Expat and Thai.

Please ensure you register at the store to book a place and  make sure you say whether you want to play at the weekend (Sunday) or on a week day (Friday/Thursday)

Slice and Dice had its’ grand opening this weekend.  The tables were buzzing with people playing Warhammer Fantasy, 40k and Warmachine, as well as plenty of spectators enjoying the great set up that Win has put together. The club features five tables, each 6 foot by 4 foot with base terrain in place.  Plus there’s a mass of extra terrain that can be added to turn the boards from snow fields to snowly forest, or empty ruins to busy city landscape. Very cool! Slice and Dice also features a lounge area where you can sit around talking shop, or watch a bit of TV on the 42″ Plasma TV.  Snacks, drinks and refreshments also on hand.  There’s also room to store armies on site,  so no need to carry them around everywhere. Great set up, and a great location. Situated in Piyarom Place just above McDonalds and 100 Metres from Battlefield Bangkok. All hail Piyarom the gaming center of Thailand!

Anyway check out some great pictures from the opening here

Midnight Chronicles DVD

Author: Games Master
07 17th, 2009

Midnight, one very cool rpg setting, finally comes to life in the Midnight Chronicles DVD, a film that has been in the making for many many moons, but is due to be released in August. The Midnight setting is one I really enjoyed running, a really dark setting which challenges players in ways that very few RPG campaign settings have manged to do.  More info on the film is on the FFG site

We have just about the complete set of all books released for Midnight in the store library, so feel free to ask to take a look and learn more about this great setting.

A hundred years have passed since the Shadow in the North triumphed over the free nations of Aryth. The dark one’s corrupt lieutenants, the Night Kings, rule with an iron fist over ruined cities and shattered empires. The dwarves of Kaladrun have retreated into their mountain holdfasts, and the elves of Erethor have withdrawn into the heart of their vast and ancient forest. Twisted, incorporeal spirits known as sniffers hunt down the last true masters of magic, and the Shadow’s dark and secretive priesthood, the legates of the Order of Shadow, seek out elven spies, dwarven insurgents, and the few brave heroes who stand defiant against the fall of night.
