I've been tlaking to Andreas Doktor and he's gutted he's missed oput on Wotan (especially as he lives not far away)
He's offered to Marshall and lend kit out if he can just tag along which is pretty good of him (he was really generous and great bloke at Arnhem)
I was wondering if we could possibly squeeze him in as he's a good player, helpful and pretty popular?
Even if we get him in as 'character role' say a top scientist or a oficer who needs capturing?
"I think we are in rats' alley - Where the dead men lost their bones."
I reckon we may be able to sneak him in...
Agreed , but he'll have to keep it secret
Perhaps he could be a mad Nazi Scientist , he's got at least one of those qualifications in spades
Well once (if) every bodies cool with it i'll let him know whatever we decide but insist its got to be secret.
I think a gaming role might be best as then if anyone says 'why was he allowed to snaek in'
we can say because he was being a non player character, he speaks German etc...'
"I think we are in rats' alley - Where the dead men lost their bones."
Gets my vote. I've always liked the roles of scientists knocking around down there.
It's also a good way to get Helga in for Dave.
NPC gets my vote - could use him as either a scientist or as a defecting German officer.
Lots of things can be done with some NPC characters...

Ok, i'll let him know we can get him in if he helps us by playing a role.

Diggah has just contacted me:
Hey Richard.
Sorry I've been out of comms for a while. New business has meant lots of travelling and not much time for anything other than work.
I noticed you've put up details of the Oct 7th game but I also notice its changed subject matter since we last spoke. I assume there is no russian angle. I've not sold any of my gear which makes things easier for later on I guess, but just curious if you have any other plans etc.
Please pass my absence appologies around when you next see the HQ lot
Cheers
Ben / Digs
Ben,
Not only have we not put up details of the Russian angle, the whole thing has sold out!
In fact it sold out in around 5 days!
There would have been a Russian angle if you'd wanted, as it is there isn't as nobody chose to go that way.
Would you have been able to attend?
Richard
Yeah I probably would have been able to as well. My trip to Germany in October has fallen apart so Im currently available... Ah well
Cheers for letting me know.
Ben
Incidently I may be able to attend as a camera monkey should you need it. As thats my companys work area I have a range of rather nice pro equipment at my disposal.
Ben
So ... does a Russian/photographer get a special invite?
Opinions...
FFS.
This is creeping up all the fucking time. I said that we would have a few extras on top of the original planned 40 (eg. Gadge's mate, and my mate Scott) Now it seems to be creeping up higher every day.
Not happy

I've not said yes to him or even suggested that there is space to play... and anyway this would be allied position... I would suggest a special NPC part if anything at all...
Kermits call really IMO as its his game plan.
I cant see a lone russian havinga logical role in this.
give him a lab coat and a camera and get him to take official pics seems the best option?

Talking of which... hows that coming along? What stuff do we need to build... etc... etc...
Not too assed about accomadating Diggah personally. Nice enough lad but a bit of a fuck about merchant . Plus I doubt mum will want ot drive him to Pompey from Glossup .
As Richard asked the question...
Version 1.0 of the plan will be posted up next wednesday. It's on my work comp, and i'm on leave till wednesday.

cool stuff kermit...
Just had a PM from Helga - she has sorted the kids and WILL be coming to Wotan. Happy days! I said we have a role especially for her and will make sure she is briefed well before time. She will do some videoing too.
Sounds good to me.
I'm going to heist a load of labcoats of different sizes, so we'll have one for her that should fit.
Reminds me, will get my "one extra" to PayPal you the cost for the event (Scott Hawkins - Snyper)

Just sorted dates with (my) James. I couldn't book him as we didn't know what was happening, what with Uni etc. Turns out he is going to a Jack Potato gig at Nottingham on the Friday night so will be sleeping here overnight. So, I can bring him with me on Saturday and I'll drop him off in Coventry on my return journey to Derby on Sunday.
He is OK with being a scientist so as not to boost the 'extras'!
No problems, from my POV.

So we have James and Helga as scientists so far?
