Peter replied; is anyone else (local) up for some gaming, on either the 4th or the 5th of November? I've gotten a few more titles since the last big event (yes, *more* ;-) including an interesting-looking card game called En Garde! and some boardgames that are close along the line between historical and more general-audience.

...probably trying to thrown an effigy on the bonfire.
Which makes me think of (the by then wheelchair-bound) Michael Flanders in one of his monologues saying, "Ah, nearly November the 5th, my goodness! [His musical comedy partner Donald] Swann pushed me up the road--we got one and sixpence, all in coppers..." :-)
[For those not familiar with the custom, not only do (or at any rate did) people in the UK celebrate Nov. 5th--Guy Fawkes Day--with fireworks and a bonfire on which was burned an effigy of Mr Fawkes himself, called "a Guy", but kids (at any rate used) wheel their Guy around the neighborhood in a barrow beforehand, asking for "a penny for the Guy" with which to buy fireworks. Kind of a British trick-or-treat.]
