**Melissia**

Alpharius, I'm gonna call you Alf-- yes, THAT Alf-- until you start this game

**A Town Called Malus**

Melissia, you shouldn't get on the wrong side of the DM before the game even begins.

Unless you want your character to be eaten by a Bloodthirster.

**The CF**

Unless we all begin taunting him to get the game started! Don't worry Melissia, I'll call him Alf too!
Then again, this could result in everyone dying... oh well.

**Alpharius**

I swear, we WILL get started this week!

Life (both work and home) have just been WAY too hectic lately - more so than usual, and certainly more so that I thought!

Things should be settling soon though, and once we get started, it will flow!

Getting started is the hardest part, right?

**Melissia**

Taht, and getting brutally murdered by an insane guy with an axe and way too much blood.

**Melissia**

Hey Alf.

Just reminding you, I figure you're still busy and all, but I still do want to do this.

**Alpharius**

Ack- so do I!

And I know you've heard it all before, but it is coming!

I have been swamped at work, and on top of that, I've got to head over to Europe next week.

Things SHOULD settle down soon though, and then we'll be off an running.

I do appreciate everyone's willingness to play, and for your patience!

**SagesStone**

Eh, I sort of lost interest then gained it back. Sort of a good thing in a way I guess.

**Alpharius**

If the delay has bugged or offended anyone, they can (and will!) be written off easily - so no worries if anyone has changed their mind!

**Melissia**

Just curious, out of the various players, who's still interested? I know we have two still interested...

**Grakmar**

I'm still in.

**A Town Called Malus**

I'm in. It's actually kinda a blessing that it's taken a while to start as it meant it avoided the disruptions of me moving to University and then the vast drinking of Freshers week.

**Ahtman**

Still in.

**Alpharius**

Good idea - this is going to be starting next week - guaranteed.

As soon as I return from my business trip in Europe - I promise!

So, a roll call of people still interested is a good thing...

**Cruentus**

I'm still in.

Same here.

**Melissia**

Seems like we're still good, then/

**SagesStone**

Yeh, just need to be patient.

**Melissia**

Ugh, just realized I need to shift my pdf from the lappy to this computer and I can't find my flashdrive. Yay me.

**Melissia**

I'm curious, what supplements do you have access to?

I know there's a Bretonnia one, and one basically made for dungeon crawling...

**The CF**

I'm still in too.

**Mordoskul**

Room for one more?

**Melissia**

I don't think so? But it's really Alpharius' call. And he's been busy IRL lately.

**Doctadeth**

Any room for a new player? just a quick ask and a necro at the same time.
EDIT
just am rolling up a dwarf if anyone want moi. Looks Fun.

**Melissia**

Best to PM Alpharius about that.

**Doctadeth**

I have, already rolled myself up a quite interesting Dwarf tomb robber...

Thank your for getting me to grab the core for WFRP. I also have been invited to another rp run by my local blackshirt.

**Alpharius**

Send me the details...

And, I'm just a good map of the WFB world (especially the Empire) away from starting this campaign!

Anyone have a link?

**A Town Called Malus**

http://whfb.lexicanum.com/mediawiki/images/6/6a/TheEmpire.jpg
Good one for the Empire.

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_s5cjrLNFkok/TD8Zl4-r0sI/AAAAAAAAAC8/b7eu3Hhn7E4/s1600/Warhammer-Map.jpg
And then this one gives a general layout of the whole world.

**Alpharius**

I think that's the one I needed!

This one's decent too:

And that World one is nice too, though I'm not sure we'll ever need it!

Thanks for the links... it won't be long now!

Knaffur was born to a family of craftsdwarfs. He was raised with the respect and the normal surliness of a dwarf workman. In his early dwarf tweens. he travelled to Reikland, to observe the imperfections of the buildings of humanity. He made a habit of frequenting the libraries and academies, even learning to speak well with the empire's inhabitants. He saw one day a funeral procession inside the gardens of morr, and did the unthinkable, broke in at night. Scaling the wall and picking the lock, he took the gold necklaces and urns inside and fled. His father shamed of his actions, Knaffur needed a fresh start, something worth doing. He started robbing tombs, unfortunately of the slightly more affluent. He skulked in the shadows and watched for the richer marks....waiting for a chance to do something to right his wrong.
