Huh. Well look at that: if we take Apex Highway, AF&G is less than a mile further than AT, and only 3 minutes more driving time. (23.3 mi/33min to AF&G vs. 24.0mi/30min to AT). I guess it just looked considerably longer on the map since every experience I've had driving around or through Cary so far has been like crawling through molasses.

So even though it's Mother's Day is anyone playing tomorrow and if so where?

Granite-M · #**1239** May 10th, 2009, 02:49 PM

I know it's a bit late in the day, but if anyone's interested in a game at the Bean, I'd be up for it. Post here before 5PM and I'll be there. Otherwise, I'll probably just let this day go.

My main concern with finding a decent in-Raleigh base of operations is the difficulty for Griffin in driving all the way to AF&G. As I've said before, I'm already a fan of the Royal Bean, and we seem to be somewhat short of alternate locations.

My Mother In Law is in town so I will not be at the Bean today.

Hey Hogg,

I am about 3 hours from Raleigh if I am in Pamlico. To drive to AF&G would be a bit more, not sure how much extra time though.

If I am in Wallace (until my house sells) it is about a 2 hour drive.

I am taking some graduate classes atm and working full time, so I will have very little time to play, but I really want to squeeze in a game at least every month.

Granite, I didn't see your message until just now. I should have posted something this morning, I actually had it in my head that I'd done so. I think we just needed a weekend off.

The next couple of weekends are going to be busy for us, I would be up for some Heroscape May 31st, but Elstree will be out of town.

Well that is very considerate Granite, I do live almost in WakeForest. How does everyone feel about possibly setting up in a church conference room? I could ask around, but I won't bother if some of you wouldn't feel comfortable there. I will continue to search for a space for us, but it is difficult. I would have everyone over at my house (I have lots of room), but like I said, I live almost in Wake Forest and I think that would be asking too much.

I wouldn't have a problem with being in a church conference room. And I will look into finding space myself.

Same here.

I'm going to go by Sci Fi Genre tonight and find out about setting up a game night there. I'll report back with the info I get. I'd like to do something there on Tuesdays or Thursdays depending on their schedule.

I'm fine with a church conference room, though I won't promise to cease theological argument just because we're playing on your home field.

The problem is that we've got such cool people all living in opposite directions from each other. Why don't we all just move into one central neighborhood? We could take over the homeowners association and change all the street names to suit our nerd purposes.

Hogg · #**1248** May 12th, 2009, 11:49 AM

Sci Fi Genre has an open board game night on Mondays. They also have a miniture war games night on Tuesdays. We fit in either of those catagories, though they said that WH40K has priority on Tuesdays so we should aim for Mondays until we have a large enough regular group to have 'reservations.'

They also have a forum on their website and I am going to advertise for our group on their and see if I can get anyone new interested.

I have 4 of each set so I'm willing to set a MS or 2 aside to play over there with.

So now what we need are players. I have a few friends who play I can get to come over but I need your support too.
