4th

Who is coming? If you are coming, please let Vince know if your character has anything in mind to do. Chris, I am thinking of you here specifically. Alex, Charles, Amanda, Vince and I will all be here at my house at 1pm. Hope to see others here too. I think Bob may be coming! Hooray!

And then there were five. Well, it's just as I've always said...

Ok We have: Me, Vince, Alex, Charles (Alex's newly trasplanted brother), Amanda, and maybe Chris. We will play at my house Saturday at 1pm.

I would love to get a head count for the 13th role playing session. I would also love to hear people generate a little discussion about what happened in the last session. With a month between the games, I think it would benefit all involved to freshen our memories, so to speak. And for the...

And on this note let me say that we are now working on creating a core group of players. I foresee a core of about 4 players and 1 DM, and this does not include anyone on this forum but me and Vince. The rest of you are always welcome. This is guaranteed. However, we will not be counting...

Well, those "commitment" conversations were really sort of misinterpreted. We weren't blaming anyone. I wasn't aiming my criticism at anyone. We were just frustrated. We still are. That's all. Perhaps we should just bitch in private, search for other players and just leave it alone.

Unfortunately, this is really more of a trend than a hiccup. Again, I am not blaming anyone. I realize that all of these reasons are very important to people and that they are legitimate. However, the fact of the matter remains: People aren't coming to the games. We have basically cancelled...

Well, just so you know, APewty, we really enjoyed having you. We don't blame you. Situations change. In our hearts we don't blame anyone for having lives and problems. Yet the fact remains that we really want to play this game and can't seem to put anything together. And ironically, the...

While I must vociferously disagree with IM's belief that his game must suck, I must also feel a certain empathy for him. All I can hope is that people start to come again soon. I know that Chris has expressed a desire and willingness to come. Alex, too, wants to come, but his brother had...

Well, if this many people need a schedule change, we can certainly entertain it. I, for one, don't care what weekend we play on so long as it can be fairly consistent... The game is cancelled this week anyway. No one can make it.

Sorry, but the schedule must remain consistent. You knew about it. You made the choice. We lose, girl wins. We understand. But we don't like it!

Okay, I am getting excited to play! Who all can come? Will split pea with sausage be acceptable to everyone? I make it from scratch. Yum.

Incidentally, I am really thinking of starting my comic idea again... the cartoon strip, that is. As for John K, it is typical of artists in general, I think, to apply their own biases as if these biases were the only clear definition of art. I met a girl who argued until she was blue in...

Ugh. Yes. He is quite the blow hard. Any time someone sets out to tell me what is right and wrong in art, without truly credible arguments or examples to back up his argument, I immediately close my mind to him. He constantly refers to being "more artistic", yet he offers no real definition...

Don't hit your head! ;)

Thus the term "Magic the Gathering Effect". These games don't frustrate me. I just find them intensely boring. Ultimately, what is the point? Why not flip a coin to decide who wins? It's just as random and just as meaningless! Such games are like playing craps for no money. There is nothing...

Yes, waiting around is a huge pain in the booty, especially when it is a game that is boring to start with. As for Diplomacy, I do think you would enjoy it. Maybe we can start with that one on the 6th. We might be able to count on at least 5-6 players. It would be great if we could fill the...

Yes, I mentioned Age of Imperialism. I would definitely play that one again. Twilight Imperium I would be willing to give another chance, though I think the game has some flaws. As for Starcraft, I will have to look at your link! :)

I have noticed that there is a category of games that is defined by one particular game dynamic that I call the "Magic the Gathering Effect". This dynamic is characterized by building and increasing points through discovering and making symbiotic connections between cards or buildings/units that...
