2007 January Meeting

• The game gave us all some good laughs
  

NOTE FROM MGMT:

Anyone can propose an event. If you have something you'd like to do that is open to all members of the group, let me know (contacting me directly through the "contact organizer" link is probably best -- but you can just post a note in a message board thread, but not this one) and I'll put it up on the calendar. It's best to do so at least two weeks in advance, but as some members only check the site once a month you really should plan four weeks out. Thanks for your support!

2007 March Meeting

• Chris and I played D&D mini's, and Brad put up a couple of rare mini's as prizes, which we enjoyed.
  
• Just Chris and I, pretty much this month, but we discussed playing short, rules intensive encounters at the next meeting.
  
• I realized that while we've had a meeting in February, I neglected to post minutes - and I still failed to take any pictures.

2007 April-June Meetings

• Attendance is down, probably because it's summer, but we're still meeting and at least a few people show up to every meeting.
  
• We've been socializing and discussing rules, and this last meeting we discussed alignment in some detail.
  
• I continue to fail to take pictures.
  
• I'm considering adding some sort of prize or incentive to come to meetings, but haven't figured out a sustainable fundraising model yet
  

2007 December Meeting

I keep forgetting to update this, but we've been meeting on schedule. This last meeting, in December, we met and played Three Dragon Ante. Two of the members got their pick of d20's from the samples I received from Q-Workshop. It was fun.

Great meeting last night.

• We had 4 new (or new-ish) members show up.

2008 July Meeting

We played a game in the Pathfinder Rise of the Runelords setting

Next time: Someone else is going to DM a game...
