ARBBL Open 2011 - March 19th/20th 2011, Andover, Hants.

[Darkson]

Rulespack is attached to this post.

Hopefully there will be a figure next year, but our initial idea was rejected, and we've dithered a bit on getting a 2nd idea in (we were looking at other options for getting #1 made). If we can't get a figure made, prices will come down. if we can, but no in time, we'll leave prices as is, but sort out getting the figs sent out.

If paying by PayPal, please make sure you use the "Personal, Gift" payment option, else some of your money goes to Paypal.
Anyone not doing so will owe me a pint.

The three tourney figures you have done so far have been excellent. Can't believe you can't come up with another decent idea.

[Darkson]

We (thought) we did, but others might not have agreed. I looked at getting someone else to produce it, but never got a reply, so back to Impact, who are now on the case of idea #2 (already discussing details with Tom, and I only sent a follow-up email this afternoon [thumbs up to Tom & Impact] ), so hopefully there will be an ARBBL '11 fig, but if there isn't, the fault squarely lies with me, not Impact.

#2 is not quite so out there as #1 (if I say #1 was BigBelcher's and MoodyGit's idea, that might explain why it's a bit weird.. ). #1 will stay on file in case I ever have the money to get it made.

[lunchmoney]

Count me in.
Have posted on Exiles 'site for my lads as well.

[Long_Bomb]

I aim to make it down this year and hopefully bring a car full from Spiky.

[mattwhile]

Any update on the date?

[Darkson]

Not yet - finding a replacement car (me! not my fault I hasten to add!) and moving (Moody) has meant we haven't had a chance to badger the committee in the last 4 weeks. I'll ask again on Tuesday - I do know we definitely have one of the two weekends though, so ARBBL 2011 is confirmed.

[Darkson]

Finalised date: 19th/20th March 2011.

[Lycos]

As you know I will be there

[nazgob]

what's the lrb5 khemri list?

[Darkson]

Ignore that - in the name of sanity (and the fact I've got a NAF rank with them), and to ensure there's no controversy over NAF ranking,
[drum roll please] LRB6 Khemri [/end drum roll] (see, I can see sense!).

Just dotting the i's and crossing the t's, and the final rulepack will be up for download.

[lunchmoney]

I'll be there. Will have some pennies sorted for you soon as well.

[Darkson]

Suppose I ought to say - final rulepack is up, and ARBBL '1 has been submitted for NAF approval.

[Joemanji]

I like your rules Simon, might try to make it down depending on the dates of Dungeonbowl.

[firebreather]

Looks like this will be my next BB outing, count me in, might even bring the converted elves that were inspired by big belchers team, only 3 years later than planned
