gaming opportunity

[winterbadger]

Some friends are coming over on Saturday to partake of seasonal cheer by bashing, smashing, blowing things up, stealing, backstabbing, and generally engaging in mayhem. But only in a gaming context.

So if you'd like to join us play Warhammer, or boardgames, or Uno, or quarters, or whatever takes your fancy, come along and join in. Food and drink welcome, though some will also be available. I have a big jug of cider and some red wine, both of which are crying out to be heated with spices. Maybe I'll have some cheese and biscuits. Also, I was seized with an impulse to buy a duck the other day (the goose was a bit dear), so I'm going to try roasting it, along with some veg.

Oo, gaming. I've been needing a fix. I hope some other non-Warhammer-types can make it!

I'd invite A to come so she could meet some folks, but there's the whole Zone of Cat Death problem.

Clarify the whole "gamming" thing, no seriously.

[winterbadger]

Not gammon ;-) gaming.:-) (Non Angli sed angeli).

Playing board games or card games or miniature games. Entertaining, mildly competitive, but for fun and amusement.

Or am I being dense and missing something?

No, I just think of gamers as web based game playing geeks, or Magic.

[winterbadger]

Nope, these are more multiperson affairs, sans computers (I mean, PS2 and PC games are available, but the boardgames et al are a little more social).

I tried to get some of my chums interested in some of the card games similar to Magic, which are actualyl quite fun, IMO, but I was not very successful. There's even a Premiership card game that I *almost* got redactrice to play with me, but...

I'd come, but I just realized this is for Saturday, and I'm heading down to Richmond then. Next time.

Timeframe? I have to be at the church at 9 p.m.

[winterbadger]

Entirely nebulous. :-) I think not before 11.00 and I'll probably turf people out around 22.00 or 23.00, but any time in between folks are welcome.

Damn! I totally ran out of time! Trying to do too much this year, I think. Definately want to come to another one soon! Say hi to homies for me.

Greetings passed on; I also gave C your address, as she had a holday card to send to you.

Have they any interest in Twelfth Night? I know I'm not on C's flist.

I don't know; I'll ask.

I know I'm not on C's flist.

You're not, but you are on Melissa's. (shy_kat)
