I’m looking at all the Meetups scheduled. Are there one or more of the weekly meetups that are the best places for jumping in and getting to know people and the group? As much as I’d love to do them all, my wife’s love is finite and one day a week is going to be my limit. 🙂

(Also, it’s still a month or more before I’ll be in Houston, so maybe it’s too early to be asking, but I’m excited.)

If anyone is interested in playing iOS board games together, I thought we could use this thread for organizational purposes.

Many of the games use your Game Center ID for matchmaking. Others have their own separate logins. If you list a game you are interested in playing, please be sure to include the necessary info. 

Here are the games I am interested in playing:

Agricola (username jgc742)

Sweet Beagle of Doom, I love Shane Curruth’s movies.  Primer blew my mind, and I just watched Upstream Color.  I don’t have time to watch many movies, so I’m glad I picked this one.  The experience is what watching one of those bizarre creations in Rousseau’s Locus Solus would be like. Wow.  Wow.  Wow.

We had a terrific weekend of gaming! On Thursday, we continued our Dungeon World campaign. Just a few loose ends and one more session  before we head into Death Frost Doom and A Red & Pleasant Land

On Friday, we had a board game night. We played some classics: Reiner Knizia’s Modern Art, Klaus Teuber’s Hoity Toity (Adel Verpflichtet, for you old-timers), and Uwe Rosenberg’s Bohnanza. You know, I used to be into board games the way I am currently into roleplaying games, and it felt good to get back into that spirit for a night. 

On Sunday, though, we went back to roleplaying games with a vengeance, playing Brian Engard’s Becoming, a couple of quick ones called Char. Gen. and Agent Down, and then two games of the fabulous Cheat Your Own Adventure. 

Thanks to everyone who came out: Daniel Fowler Jeff Burke Kyle McCauley Jorge Salazar Ferrell Riley Kristen D Scott Owen Steve Mains Daniel Lewis Aaron Scott and my boyfriend, Rich!
