We now have a start time too!

So first gaming day in a couple of years will start at 11 AM.

Lets take a look at the check list:

• Room clean
• Snack bowls clean
• Goblets cleaned
  
• Chips stocked up
• Pop in fridge
• Cream and coffee ready
• Popsicles ready to grab
• Rules reviewed
• QRSs printed and ready
  
• Terrain set up
  
• Forces set up
• Unit cards created

With a few days left before gaming day I am well on my way to being ready, I can hardly wait!

We have a date, Monday May 23rd...Warhammer!

 

So good news after far to long a break we finally have a game scheduled, Warhammer 6th edition.

Start time to be determined. Armies Orcs & Goblins vs Dwarfs. (maybe some allies)

Gaming???

 Hello all

So, I feel we have established some days that do not work, at least for gaming outside of OMG. This leads to the obvious question:

What day[s] in May work for people to game. 

We have 23 other days left in May, do any of these other days work for anyone out there? 

I figure maybe we aim for the day then figure out what game to play.

Again I am open to suggestions.

Thank you

Scheduling games

Hello everyone

 

I am looking for input, how are we going to schedule games assuming that we want to play and that people require some advance notice. I really need help here as I do not have a clue how to do this. With the possible exception of me, most everyone has a lot of non gaming activities in their lives. I am essentially available any day, at any time barring unforeseen events.

So how do we do this? Do we do this? 

I had thrown out the long weekend in May as a possible weekend to see us gaming. But more than one person has a conflict on certain days that weekend, some know what day others do not yet know the day. 

Western keep has offered to host, what day (s) were you thinking about, I am assuming it was not for the long weekend.

Do we just throw out days like spaghetti and see which ones will stick then go from there?

I think most of us have preferences for what game we might want to participate in, for example maybe not everyone wants to do ancient battles, or naval games or whatever. Do we therefore then post up something saying I want to host xxx this month then throw out some dates, or does someone say I really would like to try out Fantastic Battles or xxxx who could host and when.

I just want to host some games, to ref and to play. I will travel but I am game dependent I have no interest in certain genres or games so I am unlikely to participate in them, but maybe I will (stranger things have happened)

I will commit to saying out right if I cannot attend so that the host can assess the number of players who will be attending. I also commit to arriving at the predetermined time for the event to participate. I cannot commit to not being sarcastic, better to ask me to stop breathing.😏

Covid and other plagues are of course a potential concern and each player must assess their comfort level (barring any mandatory regs) 

So this has rambled on somewhat, the real point of this post is to get feedback on how we are to arrange game days/nights, or how we are not going to do that. We are a small group with diverse interests, how do we marshal our resources, our players and our gaming areas to make up for lost time and get gaming.

 

Thank you

Side bar

I have added two sites on the side bar that tend to announce sales and new releases. Table Top Fix is more on target for miniature gaming while Table Top Gaming News covers all gaming news. Both are listed twice the first link will take you to their respective main page, while the second listing shows the 5 most recent posts.

Beyond these two sites I will try to post up any interesting news items that I might stumble upon that will hopefully be of interest to club members (and any visitors) As such it will not necessarily be a regular  thing as I will only be able to publish stuff when I find it. On the other hand pointing out cool/interesting sites or tidbits of information and not just to announce sales, may see a few more posts.

Again please post stuff that you see that you think might be of interest, most or all members should have posting ability.

NEWS 2

Proposed game day

I wish to game soon. Soon in this case may well be May.

I can set up a game in the basement, outside on the deck or even in the garage, whatever appeals to you, the players. What game does not matter so much as playing a game. Pulp Alley, Silver Bayonet, some other miniature game that you want to play, I just want to play.

So let me know how you feel about this.

There is a holiday in May so, worst case scenario, we could play on that day, maybe we can get together sooner.

 

If need be I will play a solo game real soon, but as strange as it may sound (for me), I would prefer to play with other people. Oh, and yes I mean play, I will not just ref as usual (although reffing may still happen) I would like to actually participate as a player.

 

Please let me know who might be interested.

 

Thank you
