Hi! Is there anyone out there who's still pretty new to all this?
I've never played a Thud! game, but I'd really like to. Are there any other amateurs out there who fancy a learning experience?
Original rules, and I think I'd prefer unlimited, but if we seem to be taking forever don't mind restricting it later... and single would be easiest to begin with.
So, any one want to learn-as-we-go, fantastic.
Best wishes to you all.
Pidgeon.

Sounds great! I'd be honoured. I'm writing an essay at the moment for tomorrow though, which I've got to concentrate on. Is that okay? From the weekend I'm effectively on holiday.
[Had to make a new account BTW, small administrative error rectified!]

so are you still pidgeon then? if you are then a forward question for the weekend - trolls or dwarfs?
+++divide by cucumber error+++please reinstall universe and reboot+++
Fewer 'd's, but otherwise just the same.
As to the weekend and onward, I am entirely to be at your mercy; trolls/dwarfs, single/double, limited/unlimited. You have experience on your side so I'll happily trust your instinct. Whatever you believe will make the best game.

then i would go for a single unlimited to start of with then. i will also let you be trolls first so you can see how dwarfs work. your call though
+++divide by cucumber error+++please reinstall universe and reboot+++
Sounds like a plan.
In which case that makes it your turn! Ratburger for the winner!

I've renamed it Ponder vs Pigeon, since you're Dwarfs.
Very best of luck to you too though there's little chance you'll need ay of it.

TIP: don't be afraid to sacrifice a dwarf to help slow down the trolls from getting to a forming block

btw im also in the northen hemisphere, as my location says
+++divide by cucumber error+++please reinstall universe and reboot+++
(Hemisphere's: I just meant the board! The top bit [i.e. North) was looking a little scary! That's why I went toward the bottom [South]!)
Anyhow, I'm gonna go out on a limb here...

I'd been thinking about whether to move the others yet or not for a while, so was just lucky that I'd already looked hard at them for a bit.

I wouldn't say that! We've only had seven turns! Anyhow I've only nicked a few off you by mostly chasing you around the board! I reckon if you've got a large walking boulder wielding a sapling following you around, statistically speaking it's pretty likely someone's gonna end up getting hurt.
Anyhow...
