Long Weekend
The big news is that I can finally reveal that murasaki_1966 has a new job! She starts as the Library Manager at Blacktown Hospital on the 23rd.
Yay!
We are now in the waiting stage to see if any of our eggs hatch so to speak. If they do, we won't be posting it here until we're past the three month stage. So you'll have to live in suspenders until then.
Unless they don't. But that's not going to happen.
We had one of our major game days (second this year) on Monday, with an increase in attendance:ashamel, kylaw, mrteufel, iwoolf, kalenture and Richard and Tim (who don't have ljs to my knowledge). The list of games (and my thoughts on them) are here. We're thinking of running a board games day for each of the Grand Finals next year.
Photos to follow (especiallykylaw's arty one of the Dark World game.) We then went to a farewell dinner for Bianca (who kindly supplied us with the copy of Dark World) at the Hogsbreath Cafe in Northmead. I kept expecting Moe to jump out with a Nacho hat filled with sparklers.
ferkster and I made real progress on the second act of our first full-length play, so I'm feeling really optimistic about it. We're going to spend a couple of days in Melbourne for the opening night of "Relics" (there will be other ten minute plays as well but they're not as important) so I've been arranging that. Unfortunately, due to said new job, murasaki_1966 won't be joining us. (She'd get bored anyway, after the second comic shop.)
Any ideas of good, geeky shops in Melbourne (especially book, comic and/or game stores)?

Re: It's really a matter of taste
That's Spree. Played David and Kyla's copy some time ago. I'm not enamored of the Cheapass games, but they seem to have found a real niche amongst role-players (Mary - aka
In that case, I may be more of a theme fiend than you - or at least a component junkie :)
Runebound is fun because there's some character management and combat tactics amongst the monster hunting and killing.
