I hope they got the decent looking Weeping Angel.

The building is full of geeks. Did you expect them not to have something like this?

@3, weirdly, this is the first year they've done it. But yeah, I imagine it will only get bigger now, it's such a natural fit. Did anybody stay until late on Saturday? They had gaming until midnight, but we crapped out at about 9:30 after a long tromping day (and a fun round of the Walking Dead board game from Cryptozooic, in which Andrea kicked ass against the odds). —Paul

The Mouse Guard RPG is both ridiculous and cool.
Great story-telling mechanics and all sorts of intra-party struggles.

One line of that sign looks like it says "Chaos in the OCD World" which is definitely a game I would play.

I'm sorry I missed this. I'm a pre-novice gamer and would like to became a sorta hard-core gamer.

People still play Battletech? And they didn't call me?

ok... no settlers of catan or carcassone, but ticket to ride and apples-to-apples? this is the lamest line up in the history of gaming.

@8, dude, if I ever have to play another game of Settlers I may barf. It's okay the first six hundred times when your friends are all discovering good games but eventually you get burnt out.

Then again, I feel the same way about Apples to Apples. I wish there'd been some Puerto Rico! And I wish I coulda been there!

@9, oh, there was Puerto Rico! And Settlers (including a tourney), and Carcassonne, and much Dominon, too. ECCC had a great lending library set up and there was just about everything but ASL—although yes, that included everything down the simpler end of the spectrum, too, like Apples to Apples and TtR. —Paul

@6, if you have time on Thursday evenings, check out the Story Games Seattle group that meets up at Gamma Ray Games on Pine Street. It's geared toward story/role-playing games that are easy to learn and fun to play in an evening, without having to make a long-term commitment, but also a good way to transition into more hard-core gaming if that's what you're after.
