While this was my first foray into GMing, I'm lucky that two of the players in my group are very experienced GMs. They are an excellent resource. One of the players also co-GMs and runs different parts so I get to play too. It's a lot of fun to be able to switch off. I've learned a lot about how to handle battles. Probably the best thing we did in my group were run several "optional" sessions where players and GMs had an opportunity to explore specific game mechanics. We focused on taking the time to work through aspects and figure out how the game worked (or our interpretation worked). Players who participated did not receive any experience points. Instead, they were given additional coin or items instead. Before we played, I wrote up posts of resources and sent them to the players. (See the Warhammer FRP category for links to those posts.) Have you looked on Gitzman's Gallery in the Warhammer section? The site has an excellent summary of the rules in a printable PDF: WFRP3 Summary by Count Dimon.

I’m hoping to demo the system soon after giving up hope of trying to find anyone that plays it around here. After starting up, what did you realize you needed? What kind of material prep would have been useful for your players? I’m trying to put together a packet of basic gameplay rules ahead of time.

Hi, Kate.

I could see something like what you describe happening. I have some references for early horsemanship and equine domestication that I should write a blog post about.

I replied to your email but haven’t heard back. I may try writing from another account just to see if my email didn’t come through and maybe landed in a spam filter.

I am looking forward to talking with you!

Comment on EPM study by Pathogenes with Oroquin-10 by Ceffyl Aedui

Hi, Diana. I found out about Oroquin-10 through the site EPM Horse, where the cost was estimated to be about $150 for treatment. If I remember correctly, that is about what my cost was too (plus the cost for the ELISA titers). My vet worked with the people at Pathogenes, so I never contacted Pathogenes directly.

Can someone tell me how much a treatment of Oroquin-10 costs from the lab for a vet?

Comment on Friends and family by Kate Kestner

Hi, I am Kate Kestner. I found your Epona site and really enjoyed it. I am currently researching horse domestication. I am looking at all fields that touch on this subject from mythology to current DNA discoveries. As a result I am looking at the human migrations too and the language families. Epona has always fascinated me. She spread to the Romans and then everywhere they went. Yet unlike most of the other gods/goddesses of the day there is no real story line for her. She is a force of nature.

I see a woman of the steppes who leads an older mare that she has milked for years. She has a young child on her hip and it is still a long walk back to the house and corral. The mare is a supermom and loves all babies just not equine ones. Tired and her arm going numb she sets the child on the back of the mare who curiously looks around at this new development. The child of three laces his fingers in her mane. The woman seeing that the mare is fine with this puts a hand on the boy’s leg to steady him and gently leads the mare forward. By the time they get back to the house the boy has figured out the basics of balancing on a moving horse. By the time he is ten he has figured out how to guide the mare. By the time he is fifteen he decides to train a young horse to ride. This is how I see it beginning.

Parking policy paranoia | Y Ceffyl Du — Tue, 05 Jun 2012 20:08:56 +0000

[...] A friend from my Wednesday WFRP gaming group visited today to review some of the material for the next gaming session. Parking at the complex was tight: no visitor spaces available close by. (Three of the six visitor spaces had residents in them again.) I gave my friend the visitor pass for the car. We came back up to the apartment, got the gaming stuff, and both started getting twitchy. We ended up sitting by the car. We just couldn’t settle down after what happened last Wednesday after gaming. [...]
