This blog is our groups attempt to have an internet gathering spot for organizing and discussing our varied gaming interests as they relate to our club. Like most gaming clubs we are a diverse group of gamers who play a variety of games. We meet at least once a month in the city of Ottawa. While we are always keeping an eye out for a place that the 'club' could call home, we have, as our name implies, more or less resigned to the fact that we are not likely to find a single fixed location to play our games. Currently two of our members host games at their respective homes for the league members.
The league believes that gaming should be fun, and do not encourage nasty competitive play. Yes we do play games where someone will lose, someone will win, but winning is not done at the expense of fun. It is a place of positive interactions, a place to freely exchange ideas, to further our passion for gaming. While we may post the results for games that we play, this site is really not about winning or losing, just about playing games, working on out hobby and having fun!
Also, since our hosts open their home to members of the league, we do have rules to govern attendance, and proper decorum while attending an event to protect our hosts and our players.
This Blog site is intended to serve three main functions;
- First it provides a place to discuss and plan upcoming event,
- Second it is a place to post reports on games played by league members as part of the league. That is an event hosted by a league member that includes the participation of at least two active league members.
- Third, this site can act as a place of first contact for anyone interested in joining our group gaming activities. Feel free to post us a comment!
We primarily play table top games using painted metal, plastic and resin models. Our interests are as varied. Some of the games/genres (and by no means an exclusive list) that we have an interest in, even if not yet played include;
- Warhammer fantasy/Battlefleet Gothic/Epic/Adeptus Titanicus/40K
- Dr Who miniatures game/7TV
- WWII - Battlegroup/Rapid Fire/Spearhead/Micro Armor etc
- Pulp Alley/Chaos in Carpathia
- Dystopian Wars
- Congo/Saga/Tomahawks and Muskets
- Two Fat Lardies games
- Victorian science fiction
We also play board games, again ranging across many different genres, from classic wargames, to non-collectible card games.
Recently some members have gathered to take a shot at role playing games.
We draw the line at LARPing and collectible card games.😀
Ultimately we are an informal association of more or less like minded individuals, we each bring something to the gaming table, be that actual games/figure, gaming ability or social skills.
The league does not own any of the games or figures shown on this site, individual members bring their own items or borrow from other members.
Thank you
