[Ikkitosen]

*Breaks AE's head* Cheers Chaz.

When next I am in Brum I will get onto looking at the Garden House. Unless anyone that lives there happens by before me.

I shall let you know.

[Castaras]

*pokes thread*

Just keeping it active in my forum additive thing.

[Raistlin1040]

Have fun my fellow UK forumers. I'd like to come, but I'll be visiting relatives. Oh well. Make a carboard cutout of my avatar and say I'm there. No one will know the difference. Or will they? DUN DUN DUN!!!

[Charity]

Soooo, whos's all gonna run stuff then? eh?

I shall bring Nuclear war as it was such a hit last time... you bunch of sick freaks you...
We should start a register type of affair, post what you're running then whomever made the first post here can list and update it.

Ooo we went to Gencon UK (Ikkie, Dorisfrog and I), did any of you lot go?
We may have inadvertantly broke a boardgame you were in... poor old Mr blue eh Ikkie... note to self cut down swearing whilst bantering with an audiance.

What was that mad balancing game called Ikkie? I might get that, using our rules of course...

[Castaras]

Yay! Nuclear War!

I might be able to bring the order of the stick board game.

Umm...dunno what other games we could bring...Hmm...

Someone could bring Zombies again? Maybe with the rulebook this time, so we can play it...

Ooo, Munchkin. Anyone gonna bring Munchkin again?

Lol, Villa Paletti. We pulled quite a crowd with that. Note to self: rules in German you can't read = make up mroe fun rules yourselves I have a couple of photos on my phone of that, but I'm a bit of a tech div and don't know how to get them to a computer, despite the fact both my phone and laptop have bluetooth (and I have no idea how to use it on my computer ).

Mr. Blue was in...War of The Throne. Poor fella. Again, quite a crowd, and a demonstrator who said he'd never seen such a bloodthirsty game, ever. Ditto on the language though, although there were lots of swear-worhty moments (damned rampaging monster thingy event card).

As for the meet-up, I wanna play Star Wars. And Nuclear War. I might have A Game of Thrones by then if it's any good, so I can bring that.

Yay! Nuclear War!

Bad Castaras! Remeber kids, millions dead = bad. Yes, even if they're French

[Matthew]

Aw man, I keep missing interesting UK things. I need to pay more attention to GenCon UK. Reading University would have been a nice venue and within striking distance of London.

[Totally Guy]

I have a very entertaining mini game called once upon a time. You get dealt cards that represent elements of a story and you tell a story from that. The other players need to listen out because if thet story teller mentions an element on their cards they can interrupt. Each player is trying to guide the story to their own ending and it's funny when they clash.

I'll bring it along for an "in between" type game.

Oooo!

I remember playing that...that is loads of fun...

[Glaivemaster]

I can bring Settlers/Seafarers/Cities & Knights of Catan, with expansions for up to 6 players. Also, the Catan card game, a quick 2-player for people who have nothing else to do

I could bring about a billion other board games as well, but I figured I'd stick with the easy, popular ones. Hmm, I might bring Shadows Over Camelot though. That's a fun game where the players can work as a team for once

[Last_resort_33]

All sounds great, but we don't have a venue....

Cas.... is there anywhere round where you live that we could go... we don't have that long considering that people will be booking works Xmas parties and wotnot.

@glug: we should have a go at that at some point... for the moment we seem to have a little much to do in serenity.

A friend of mine has that, it's very entertaining but not to everyone's tastes. I liked it though! I kept getting interupted though, who'd have thought a Prince and a mirror would be on the cards eh?

I've no idea. It'll have to be Lensman you pester, but he's been attacked by real life.

[Ikkitosen]

Pesky reel life. Mine will become a real issue in a few weeks but until then, and in other news, I'm going to Brum this weekend so shall look at the Garden House. It's our last best hope...for a venue.

[Charity]

You're only going to avoid the dreaded Gardening.
We've roped nelly in already.

[Ikkitosen]

I noticed the mail and thought "aw shucks, I'll be in Birmingham". He he.

Still, if you don't get finished and run over until next weekend I'm sure I can arrange to be busy then too help out

[Charity]

I'll be handing out shovels on the door Friday, I know you'd hate to miss out and all.

I can't afford to look at a photograph of London, nevermind travel to, stay in, buy food or buy drinks there.

[Ikkitosen]

Garden House is a bust - they are bad, incompetent people. Have another place. Does food. Not too expensive (£8 each if there are 20 of us, gets a bit cheaper with more. These are so far reported values). Don't know of any nearby hotels, but gimme time. Near motorway junction. Accessible (kinda) by train from Birmingham New Street.

More to follow...basically I need to call them and ask about availability, minors, maximum allowed geekiness, etc.

[Eldpollard]

What do you mean "kinda" near train station?

[Last_resort_33]

What do you mean "kinda" near train station?

He means near enough if it's our only option. A taxi service (me) will be run TO the event FROM the station if necessary for a nominal fee.

Good Work Ikkie. See what you can do.

Preeeeecisely. Basically, get to the station that's a couple of miles from the venue and then get a lift (a taxi would be pretty cheap too, but why bother when lifts will be available?).

[Archonic Energy]

Within a 60 minute walk... at double time

[Charity]

*Puts feet up*
Ikkie's bound to drive me to Brum... it's like the law or something...
