Miracle Stone of the Amazon
An encrypted journal. A bloody assassination. A long-lost holy relic. Unraveling these mysteries will take explorers from the bustling streets of Rio de Janeiro to the deepest, darkest reaches of the Amazon jungle where even conquistadores feared to tread.

The clues point to the lost city of the Q'ero, rumored to be filled with riches beyond imagination-and a legendary holy artifact that could be used for either great good or terrible evil. But to get there, the explorers must first uncover an ancient conspiracy of murder, greed, and miraculous revelations.

Sounds good to me!!!  =D
How long are you thinking of running for? (i.e 4 weeks, 4 months, 4 years...)

[Silverback]

Probably start off with a four week block.
Start date still to be decided upon
Waiting to see what interest there is

[Silverback]

Wondering whether I should schedule a start date now so that it gives me a kick up the bum to get it prepped

What are available start dates in Feb?

[Tess]

You can start whenever you like, you just need to line it up with your players being free. I'm boardgaming at the moment so can join in whenever.

You may be finding it slow to get players because we haven't seen much of you for some time now. If you pop back and tell people about what you're planning you will drum up a bit more interest

[Silverback]

To get an idea for the type of adventure(s) you'd encounter take a look at the trailer for Journey 2 The Mysterious Island:

No helicopters, less cheese and more nazis though

[metagaia]

Hmm, is there are still spaces i would also like to participate.  I am also boardgaming so can start at any date.

[Silverback]

Considering it's already the end of January and I want to make sure I'm fully prepped in order to run a good quality game I'd say we're more likely looking towards the end of Feb or early March.

[Tess]

I will be in KG's mage game by then
I will try to get in on your next one!

[52]

I really like the sound of this and am currently gameless so would like to join if you have the space.

[Silverback]

Need to get myself sorted out for this one! Apologies for the delays. Will post an update once things are closer to completion.

[Marla]

I'd like to play too if I can. Haven't played it before, but it looks brilliant.

[Silverback]

Added a poll.

Go to the first page for a brief description of each scenario.

[Silverback]

Going for a start date of the week commencing 5th March. We can either run the game at the club or can arrange another night either in Buckley or another suitable venue.

PM me your interest, if you haven't already done so, and we'll start character creation.

[Silverback]

Start date will be:

Monday 5th March
7:30 to 8:00pm

A quick to-do and information list:

Forgot to add Motivations for the characters. If you need more info on any from the list PM me!

Will also check weights for cases of ammo.

Because your characters have been kitted out for free your starting cash will be $10.

For your information

HEX example of play - http://www.exilegames.com/downloads/HEX_Example_of_Play.pdf

HEX sample characters for background style and length - http://www.exilegames.com/downloads/hex_characters.pdf

PM me if you have any more questions.

[Silverback]

Without getting ridiculously technical the best set of weights for ammo I've found are:

Type                                            Weight (lbs) per #          Cost*            Notes
Arrow                                                    1/5                            $1/2
Bullets, small                                         3/50                         $3/50            .22, .32 pistol rounds
Bullets, medium                                     5/50                         $8/50           .357M, 9mm, .45 pistol rounds, .22 rifle rounds
Bullets, large                                         8/50                         $16/50         .50 and rifle rounds larger than .22
Flares                                                    1/3                           $5/3
Quarrel                                                  1/5                           $2
Rocket, bazooka or RPG-2                     7/2                           Military
Shells, shotgun                                     5/50                         $14/50
Slugs, shotgun                                      2/10                         $9/10

* These prices are from a 1945 sourcebook. Using http://www.dollartimes.com/calculators/inflation.htm you multiply these prices by 0.78 (rounded off) to calculate the cost in 1936.

[Silverback]

As per the law of sod you can get specific prices for ammunition from this web enhancement - http://mythiceras.net/mythicreadi...ex/sotswwe_prices_and_details.pdf

Handgun ammo - pg 2
Rifle & shotgun ammo - pg 3
SMG ammo - pg 4

I'd still apply the weights from the above table with hand wave that it also includes suitable storage rather than just a cardboard box.

You can also find lots of other useful equipment, arms and vehicles on http://mythiceras.net/index.php?o...task=view&id=24&Itemid=42

[Silverback]

We have space for one or two players in the game.

If anyone's interested drop me a PM before Sunday 11th.

[Prostanc3]

Guessing you guys have already started though?

[Silverback]

[Prostanc3]

Ah not to worry then, I was thinking you may have pushed your start date back due to needing more players, I won't be out my current game for another month or so I think... Thanks anyway and enjoy!

[Silverback]
