I expect more this week.  We are running 7 tables, probably 8 by the time all is said and done.We are giving away two copies of the red box set at our event to players who sign up and RSVP correctly (we are trying to encourage proper sign ups).  If that goes well we will probably give away a copy of Gamma World for that gameday.</blockquote>
