Too bad A Mighty Fortress takes 18 hours to play. It's a great way to get six people to stab each other in the backs repeatedly. I could have my buddy mail me the only copy I've ever seen.
Hi, Eric from the Raygun Lounge here. We regularly double and triple book events because it creates a great community atmosphere (as you can see from our calendar http://www.gammaraygamestore.com/events/… we overlap events practically every night of the week). We thought that Ladies Night and Slog Night would be a great mix. We've received some feedback from both groups suggesting we may have been wrong about that so we're looking into it. I can assure you, however, that whatever happens, we love Ladies, we love the Slog, and we love games, and we guarantee that both groups will get their respective regular Friday nights whether they choose to spend them together or not.
Eeeeee! You waited 'til I got back from Mexico to host the Nerdy Slog Happy!!
(Or you waited 'til they started serving booze, but I'm gonna be self-centered here.)
Hi downbythefreeway @9: We checked with Lounge staff to make sure that there were no conflicts on the 7th; we were flexible about dates. I didn't hear about your event until after I published this post, and I'm sorry if you're upset. As I understand it, the Lounge would still have been open to the public—men and women—during your event, even if the Slog event didn't happen. I promise we won't interfere with your event; I just want everyone to have a good time. We'll all be playing games, and there will be tables set aside for both groups.
Hi, Ashley from Queer Geek here, I planned the ladies meetup. I'm sure we can all fit in the lounge next Friday. Plus I'd love to kick Paul Constant's ass in Small World ;)
Thanks for being so generous with our scheduling quirks everyone. We're very confident that it's all going to work out great. But if, worst case scenario, both groups are so popular that it just gets too crowded, we'll alternate future Fridays to make sure that there's friendly, inclusive room for everyone going forward.
Elder Sign sounds fun.
Basically, 1 victory point = 1 garment.
Since he's from S Korea, probably plays it Gangam style.
New Orleans is sinking, and I don't know how to swim, @21.

Can't wait to play games with y'all!
