I'll go through the votes tomorrow and see who voted for this.  But this will be the thread of the Lords of Waterdeep game.

Here's the google-doc that I'll use to run it: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AgQW2_nUk_nKdDlRRGdQZDZmTjNZbFdLMVc5RGhHU0E&usp=sharing

I'll keep track of player order and VP in this thread.

I'll handle the intrigue hands like they did in Through the Ages where I'll PM you a link where your Intrigue hand is visible alongside all other game-state information.

I've only got the base game in there...if people would prefer to play with the expansion, and the info is available I can add it.
I'll re-randomize everything before we start, but it should give a feeling for how I'm adapting everything over.  Let me know if anything seems off, or like it will be hard to understand.

Rules can be found here in case any of you haven't played. (EDIT: forgot the link: http://media.wizards.com/downloads/dnd/DnD_LOW_Rulebook_EN.pdf)

I'll also note that I haven't played...I've looked over the rules, and ran through the FAQ/rules forum, but at least some of you will probably know the rules better than me.  I'm generally pretty good with rules, but if I miss something please point it out.

Finally, it would be great if someone could go through the Reference pages and make sure all the cards are right.

Players:
1. Kuildeous
2. liopoil
3. nkirbit
4. mail-mi
5. <empty>

Oh, we had 5 players in the poll already.  So, if everyone's good with 5 we'll do that.  If we want to do 4, we could see if there's sufficient interest to run 2.

[mail-mi]

You need to change the privacy of the google doc.

[theorel]

thx...my bad.

[ashersky]

Why does Waterdeep sound so familiar to me?  Salvatore?

[liopoil]

/confirm. I think I remember how to play this...

[Kuildeous]

If someone has to drop, /in me.

[nkirbit]

Why does Waterdeep sound so familiar to me?  Salvatore?

It's a place in the D&D universe.. I'm not familiar with it outside of this game, so that's all I know.

[nkirbit]

And confirm!

[mail-mi]

If someone has to drop, /in me.

you can replace me.

[Kuildeous]

If someone has to drop, /in me.

you can replace me.

Only if you're not really interested in playing. I wouldn't mind playing, but I'm late to the party, and you deserve to enjoy the game.

[theorel]

Also, for anyone playing...I'll need a color.

[hyramgraff]

I'm going to have to step out.  Now's not a good time to take on a new game.

[nkirbit]

Also, for anyone playing...I'll need a color.

Red!

[liopoil]

Green!

[chairs]

As tempting as this is, I'm already hard-pressed to participate in existing games.  Keep me in mind for a Lords of Waterdeep round 2, though!

[theorel]

Okay, well...are you still in mail-mi?  If so we're at the 4 players in the intro post...

Anyone else want to play, just not as bold as Kuildeous to say it while it appeared the game was full?

[mail-mi]

Hey sure why not?

[Kuildeous]

Also, for anyone playing...I'll need a color.

I'll take purple!

[theorel]

Hey sure why not?

pick a color

I'll get it started today, unless there are any issues anyone has?

[theorel]

Also, random really obscure ruling...not in the FAQ here:
http://boardgamegeek.com/thread/828388/question-re-plot-quests

I found it when initially trying to understand plot quests better, but it's not in the FAQ.  I had a bit of trouble finding it again, so I figured I'd link it for future reference.

The ruling is that: if you use a building which provides someone else with a resource, it activates the plot quest.  (i.e. a building which supplies someone else with gold will supply you with a rogue for Bribe the Shipwrights...there are a few other corner-cases where it applies as well)

Orange.

Interesting.. we did not play that way the first time I played.  Good to know!

[nkirbit]

Starting as soon as possible sounds good to me!

[theorel]

alright, I'm going to go ahead and start up the randomization process.  Sheet will be private for a minute, then I'll send PMs with Lords/starting Intrigue Hands and we'll go from there.

[theorel]

Player order is:

Rolled 1d4 : 4, total 4
Rolled 1d3 : 2, total 2
Rolled 1d2 : 1, total 1
