Bad Dreams: Alien Saturday 2nd of June

Arse, I’m no longer able to make it. Sorry!

I can probably take up to 2 people for the 4 pm game from the city center. MP me if you want a lift

I can probably get a bus to the New Lynn depot, not been around Kelston much (if ever). Can anyone pick me up from the Depot? I’m coming to the 4pm one :slight_smile:

The house is actually on a bus route 11- (well, that’s what it used be when I was living there, I guess things may have changed.) It was 4 stages from town. One bus about once an hour IIRC. Maybe less on weekends. Use bus stop either part way down St Leonards Rd, (the stop After the shops) or the one around the corner on Sabulite Rd, and walk back up the hill.

Kharnak, I can get you from the depot. :slight_smile: Will make plans closer to the day.

Thanks Vanya. Very excited!

In case you haven’t clicked, the venue we are playing at is my mother’s house (also the future gear shed position).
We will using the downstairs rooms only. Upon arrival, please go down the concrete drive (under the deck) to use the doors at the back of the house at ground level. Probably the one just around the corner of the house.

edited out my phone number for prosperity.

I have now sent out ALL of the characters either through email or PM. If you do not have your character, get in touch with me.

My email is

when are we supposed to arrive ?

is 4 pm arrival time or starting time ?

(just because I need 3 hours to put my alien outfit on…) Oups…

  1. 30 soft arrival time. 4 is fine but I want to start shortly after that.

If I am giving you a lift, can you please be at the New Lynn Train Station at 3:15??

I’ll be across the street in the Burger King parking lot in a green Toyota wagon.

And can you confirm I’m picking you up?

I know I’ve got:

-Eva

  • Fraser
  • Er… someone else

(just because I need 3 hours to put my alien outfit on…) Oups…[/quote]I’ve seen you putting on monster outfits before, and you don’t need nearly that long :stuck_out_tongue:

I expect to arrive some time between 3:30 and 4, depending on traffic and how well I can find my way there.

Hey - a thought. I haven’t seen Alien. I was going to watch it tonight - but would it enhance the game to be familiar with the setting, or would I have more fun discovering the setting in the game and then see the movie after?

I’m okay to catch a bus to the game, but would anyone be able to give me a ride back to town afterwards?

For one thing, I think you’ll find it more fun, and for another, I suspect that Vanya has perhaps just taken the basic premise of the movie for the game but made quite a few changes - so what we experience might be significantly different from the movie, and I don’t think it’d be a bad thing to not have the preconceptions. But really, do what you think will be the most enjoyable :slight_smile:

Plus, that way your first experience of a xenomorph might be up-close, rather than on a tv screen (although I’m not sure if that would be a good or a bad thing).

What James (Jarak) said. :stuck_out_tongue:

I’ll hold off on watching it then :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

(Maybe also because I’m actually -really scared- of the idea of this movie… so you know, being able to put it off one more day isn’t a bad thing!)

If its any consolation Jackie, I haven’t seen it either. :neutral_face: Probably for the same reasons.
