    Yeah, I don't think there's an intention to misrepresent.

    But if it's gonna cause an issue we can take our sh1te talk to a new thread for the sake of everyone's sanity :p

    Cancun is soulless. Visit but don't stay there. It's just a ****ing dual carriageway with a bunch of hotels on it preventing you from accessing the beach, and a Senior Frogs. There is a town, but it's almost independent of the tourist strip. Don't go scuba diving unless you're reasonably experienced. Cowboys will get you killed throwing you into very strong currents that you will need to know how to deal with.

    Mexico is an incredibly varied country. Whatever you want to see, they probably have it. It's like New Zealand that way but with far more gang-related murders. Personally I'd recommend Merida, a couple of days to see the Copper Canyon (you can catch a train from Chihuahua), and some time in Mexico City (but with a mask, the air is awful and you'll have a persistent cough for months afterwards).

    Gotta say you're not selling it to me!

    yeah if the mods think it better to close this one and we'll start another, that's grand. It would be silly in the meantime to have 2 threads open which essentially fulfil the same purpose tho.

    So as I’ve seen before

    Or row name correctly as

    I don't think we need two OT threads, so if Tigger wants a new one started then this one should be closed.

    Can't help but feel that a few posters are just repeating the same thing now in order to pad out their post-count. There's definitely at least one wolf in that group.

    All your talk of Cancún and New Zealand...

    I'm just heading for Lake Garda for two weeks next month. Eurocamps to keep the kids happy. Looking forward to it though :D

    Now New Zealand on the other hand..........holy ****. Next on my list of big holidays. Costed it out at around £6,000 for the 2 of us for 3 weeks though. :(

    The single best country to travel in the world. I spent about 6500 euros for myself and the other half for a month not including flights. Hiked a glacier, did a bungy, jumped out of a plane spent time in a Maori village and seen some spectacular natural sights. Id go back in heartbeat, well worth it

    Nah the laptop has been banned from the trip and I'm only allowed on the phone in the evenings. It's a fair compromise given the rest of the year I play as much, and as often as I can. :p

    As an aside would anyone be interested in experiencing a one-shot D&D dungeon to try out the game?

    A couple of us are thinking of giving DMing a lash and if anyone was interested, give me a shout. Can be as fast or slow as you like, we'll work out those details when we get it up and running.

    Ugh I've been toying with the idea for ages but seems like a lot of commitment. What's required?

    Well as opposed to the longer campaign that Fourier runs this would be basically a scenario where for example:

    You get dropped off in a dungeon and have to explore, battle some monsters and escape with the loot.

    Once we iron out the kinks we'll be tossing a sign up thread up.

    Commitment we could go one day/evening a week, or more if people wanted until the dungeon concluded.

    The basic premise is you create your own character from a set of predefined types. First one would be using 1st Edition rules so they would be:

    (Dwarf, Elf, Cleric, Magic-User, Halfling, Fighter)

    Basically then the DM (Dungeon Master) creates the scenario and you try to work as a team (or not, up to the players) to get through it.

    Situations will come up where the DM will ask you to roll against one of your stats (Stats are Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Wisdom, Intelligence and Charisma).
    The rolls take place on a seperate site which you can input dice rolls to get a result.
    The stats are pre defined at character creation stage.

    For a better explanation, here's a few posts from Fourier:

    Feck it, depending on dates I'll give it a bash. Should be able to commit to one night a week
