Myrtle in March (the newest in SouthEast Trogland meet-ups!)

[Zeb The Troll]

Oooo, Rune Age. If it's the game I'm thinking of Alarra and I demo'd it at GenCon a couple of years ago and it was cool, but we didn't want to spend what they were asking for it at that moment in time. I'd definitely be interested in playing a full game of it.

[Krade]

I suppose I ought to figure out what games to bring with me. I'll try to get around to that in the next couple of days. I know I should bring Shottin' Ladders for Mountain Faerie since we managed to fail to play it at the Baltimore meetup. Other than that... well I'll just have to go through some boxes. But that can wait for another time. Like when the time isn't 3am and I need to go to bed. That would be a good time to do that.

[Reinholdt]

One game of Rune Age is a good game.
Several games of Rune Age is a great game.

That's because Rune Age has such depth of different scenarios and races that it's almost 5-6 different games.

[Gryffon]

The weekend of this also coincides with the monthly board-gaming night here. So there will be lots of games and lots of people to play them with.

[Diva De]

Ho-kay. Tentative schedule and costs and stuff following:

Friday: Gathering and dinner at Mellow Mushroom
Saturday: Board gaming (the local group plays from noon to midnight or so)
Sunday: Putt-Putt? More gaming?

All of this depends on when people arrive/depart. Pirate's Voyage is going to cost $28 a head, which includes the 2-hour show and dinner. More than we would typically spend on an evening out for dinner, but worth the treat if you can swing it! (Not to mention we have the only show like it in the country!) I would really really REALLY like everyone to be able to go. Usual show times are 6pm and 8pm, IIRC. The question is: What night do we do it? I would hate to leave board gaming early to go, but I don't really want to wait until Sunday night in case people have to leave.

Let me know what you guys think, so I can make the reservation. (Also, if this will be a financial concern, let me know - I have a brother who works there and might be able to help us out.)

So we put it to a vote!

In a related note, I will be off on that Friday and Monday. I believe SirSix will also, as will Gryffon.

[Reinholdt]

I intend to arrive Thursday evening (may be as late as midnight though) and stay until Monday (roughly noon-ish).

Pirate's Voyage on Sunday would be fine with me. Or even Friday, moving the Mellow Mushroom to Sunday night perhaps?

Actually, that may be a good idea, because looking at the showtimes on the website, it doesn't appear that they have any shows on Sunday night at all. At least not during most of March.

Fabulous. Sounds good to me. My only concern with Friday was the Hippies, as I am not sure when exactly they will get there, and I DO NOT want them to miss out. Would an 8pm show on Friday work for everyone?

[TSGames]

Unfortunately, I will now have to place myself firmly in the "will not be attending" category. It sounds like a lot of fun, but I will not be able to make this one.

I will probably be able to attend the meetups next year, but this year is not meant to be.

Sadness is to be had. You were a blast in Baltimore! (But seriously, if you were ONLY going to ONE, I would pick JC, personally.)

This schedule looks pretty good.

Our tentative plans are to head down on Friday... but I expect that we may be getting in a little late (best estimate is close to 10:00) and leaving on Monday sometime. This is still somewhat subject to change, depending on what our daughter has in mind (who is likely not to attend).

We would love to go to Pirate's Voyage... but if that screws everything else up then don't worry about it. If this is the lynchpin of the weekend, then if everyone is alright with a break in boardgaming on Saturday?

[Gryffon]

Gaming typically runs from Noon to Midnight, and in all honesty, there will probably be stragglers at midnight, so a break on Saturday isn't inconceivable.

Thanks Krade! I can't wait to play! (Plotting, skeeming on the game I've never played)

On a side note, i have an annual commitment on Friday the 8th. i didnt realize we were looking at the same weekend until it was too late, otherwise we'd leave earlier on Friday. Hippie is planning to leave a couple of hrs early so we can at least get on the road at a decent time.

[Zeb The Troll]

In order to maximize travel availability, Alarra and I may need to try to come in on Thursday and leave out on Monday. I'll keep y'all posted.

[Alarra]

Actually, I was thinking I'd leave Tuesday because I have to be in Baltimore Wednesday and it's dumb to fly back to South Dakota for a day.

So what you're saying is that being a MOD also allows for ridiculous flexibility with vacation time?

[Krade]

So now there's been two meetups in a row where Mass Effect 3 released DLC in such a time frame that I can't play it until I get back from the meetup. I'm beginning to think they are spying on me.

[Diva De]

Latest schedule is as follows:

Friday: ????
Saturday: board gaming (I sent invites to the event via FB), Pirate's Voyage at 8pm 6pm
Sunday: more board gaming? putt-putt? Mellow Mushroom FOR SURE

So Pirate's is only having a 6:00 show on that weekend. And we need to be there at 4:30 for pre-show. Which is fine. We can still game until 4, and then we are GUARANTEED to have time to come back and game more afterwards.

[KuReshtin]

*SADFACE* I want to come to this meetup. I liked Myrtle Beach when I was there last time, and the Pirate's Voyage thing sounds awesome.
And obviously, meeting all the Troglanders who will be there would be the main attraction.

[Krade]

You guys.

I only have one more day of work.

One more day.

Before I leave.

I am excited.

[smellie_hippie]

Cannot even begin to explain how badly I need this vacation...........

[Diva De]

I am in Raleigh now for a conference that lasts until 4 on Thursday. That means no snuggles or kisses for a couple of days. But I console myself with the knowledge that my house will be overrun with Trolls and...Krades...when I return.

[Alarra]

Apparently I actually have no idea when I'm coming in. Could be as early as 9:45 am Thursday or as late as sometime Friday afternoon. Are there any fun plans for Thursday night?

[Gryffon]

I don't believe anything in particular is planned, probably just gaming of some sort, whether it is board gaming, or video gaming. And probably drinking >.<

[IsaacTheHungry]

I might as well let you all know now. I have gone from maybe to a firm no. I got to teach mad science to an elemerntry school group and run a dnd group for high-school students

[Krade]

So my friend from high school says he could probably show up for one day. I was hoping to get him there for more or less the whole thing, but oh well. Related to that, do we have a schedule of events (tentative or otherwise) or are we just kinda wingin' it? If he's just going to be there for one day I'd like to see which day would be best.

So hey! Remember this? So I got him to come down on Saturday and hang with us. Cool guy. Always fun to get people to meet new people. That's half the reason we do these things, isn't it?

Also since it wasn't for-sure-going-happen until about an hour ago, I finally have my very own fully functional Kubb set to bring for a maiden voyage game at some point. I am excite.

So...do I need to add him to the Pirates reservation?

Noooooooooooobody Expects The Spanish Inquisition!

[Diva De]

*dusts off hands*

Well. I would call that a success.
