She might need a shave down below. I hope it's just a tattoo, but who knows?
Jim,
I think you're friend needs to get a life if that's what bothers him. I don't believe any flat surface will be perfect. If the cards are bumped or moved a bit, well, then you just adjust them the best you can. After all, it's only a game. I mea…
Two other gamers and myself regularly meet on Saturday evenings around 6:30PM at my house in Perry Hall, about 2 miles from White Marsh Mall off I-95. We are looking for a fourth player (or more) who would like to join us. We play a variety of diffe…
World Boardgaming Championships at Lancaster Host Resort

The World Boardgaming Championships (WBC) features more than 100 tourmament-level competitions, a Juniors Program for children 12 and under, demos for learning new games, an auction, an outstanding vendors area, and casual Open Gaming play. The 2009…
I agree. We have a lot of corporate welfare at the state level too, and it's almost always a complete waste of money. The government shouldn't be picking the winners and losers of the marketplace.
Corporations should file chapter 11 bankruptcy rather than be propped up and owned by the gov't. I say down with corporate welfare as well. The President is going to bankrupt the whole country with these bailouts.
Yes indeed, welfare for Corporations only that is the American way.
A friend of mine has a bumper Sticker that says "Republican: Working hard so you don't have to" and "Annoy a Liberal: Work Hard, Suceed, Be Happy"
I like to use Battle Cry. The figures with the flags look appealing, especially for younger gamers. After the mechanics of BC are absorbed, I might try Ancients or Memoir. I also like Wings of War as an introductory game with the minis. I also think…

Remember Flag Day on Sunday, June 14th
Remember the 232nd anniversary of the adoption of the Stars and Stripes on June 14, 1777 is celebrated across the fruited plain this Sunday. I will be at the Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine for the ceremonies that begin at 6PM. At 7PM there will be the National Pause for The Pledge of Allegiance. At 9PM there will be a fireworks display from barges in the Baltimore Harbor. Hope your community will have a similar ceremony. In case anyone forgot the words, here is The Pledge:

Thanks for contacting me. I'm definitely interested in getting together for some C&C:A (and other games as well). Our gaming group gets together each Wednesday night in Parkville - so we're pretty close. I'm usually available for additional gaming one of the weekend nights as well. So lets game!!!

Didn't we just have a special election.....God we get to go through THAT yet again....
I've found the internal debate (i.e. the debate in my head) has been to either play a lot of games poorly or a few games well. I prefer the latter model, but then you must, as you say, find that set of holy grail games that one chooses to become goo…
Chris:
Really - that's a good point. I wonder if the Audi folks realized the message they were sending out with this one. I doubt if anyone found it funny in the least.

The fact that Carolyn like KAtie, married men like us tells us they are good and special people.
My wife Carolyn teaches special ed. I wouldn't trade jobs with her for any amount of money. Very difficult work indeed.
Group to discuss boardgame Map Making.
Where amateur and published map makers can discuss and assist each other with techniques and methods used in creating boardgame maps.
(not a group for arguments about what map style or software app is best)
I've recently printed and built "To the Last Man." I was able to play the game and get an idea of its look and feel beforehand thanks to BGG and Cyberboard. It's an excellent game, one well worth the bother.
I _hope_ it is just by unfortunate accid…
Yes, this was a creepy ad. I looked at the Audi website to compare this car to others. Oddly enough, you are unable to compare it to the VW SportWagon TDI, which gets exactly the same mileage.
Lately, I've been mad at Newsweek, due to issues of bias that are beyond the realm of this group. However, tonight I read a very good article on its web site, regarding layoffs.I was once in a meeting at a former employer, and we were going over th…
I second the motion. May his service in the defense to his country be what matters in the hereafter.
The game on the development table now is Rob Markham's Saratoga. This game covers the decisive battle of the American Revolution tactically, with two scenarios. One addresses the Battle of Freeman's Farm on September 19, and the other is on the Ba…
I'll just say "R.I.P.", lest I stray into the political realm.
I'd love to see more open source work, but I'm especially thinking of computer games. That would allow not just designers, but the developers, to look "under the hood" to see what makes a good game work. Even if that education is taken to commercial…
I haven't seen much in the way of Napoleonic games as of late, and I think the COA system always lagged a bit because the rules changed quite a bit and there have been lots of questions surrounding a new, more playable system. I think if someone can…
What I think will be coolest about the concept is the use of touch displays to pick up and move counters, etc. and swipe the display with a finger to quickly scroll and view the map. All this while having a live chat window or audio option to talk t…
