Sunday 6th August
I presume we've got upstairs at the Red Deer booked. Regardless, I'll be there ready and willing to playtest.
All those people who say they've got an idea but haven't got round to getting it into a concrete form, you've got a couple of days to cobble something together using scraps of paper and tokens nicked from other games. Yes, It'll most likely be a bit rubbish as a game, but by the magic of playtesting you'll suddenly see a dozen different things that you need to know to move your idea forward which another 10 years of mulling it over in your head would never have brought out. Maybe that little scrappy prototype with its broken mechanics, unclear rules, and awkward gameplay will be the start of something pretty decent.

I'll be down too, will probably bring Homo Sapiens again to test a couple of rule changes I've made.
Other than that, would be quite keen to play Tales of the Arabian Nights again, anyone up for it?

Afraid I won't be able to make it with Arabian Nights, I'm out of town this weekend - I'd be well up for it otherwise... I could bring it next Tuesday? I mean, unless there's another copy knocking about that can make it on Sunday!

There is - I now have a copy! I bought it after thoroughly enjoying it when we played last week.Richeh wrote:Afraid I won't be able to make it with Arabian Nights, I'm out of town this weekend - I'd be well up for it otherwise...
