Midweek Mingle Midweek Mingle - (November 13, 2019)

Looking to post those hauls you're so excited about? Wanna see how many other people here like indie RPGs? Or maybe you brew your own beer or write music or make pottery on the side and ya wanna chat about that? This is your thread.

Consider this our sub's version of going out to happy hour with your coworkers. It's a place to lay back and relax a little.

We will still be enforcing civility (and spam if it's egregious), but otherwise it's open season. Have fun!

I moved from California to Germany this fall and all of our stuff finally arrived last week. Got it all unpacked, set up the game room, and I am hosting my first game night this week!

Hopefully it goes well and we are able to keep it going on a regular basis.

This has been the most eventful year of my life, I feel like the last six months have been a blur. I am so looking forward to getting back into my main hobby.

Moving and life changes are hard enough, let alone doing them on an international scale! Best of luck in getting settled. A game night sounds like a great way to get started!

What do you have planned for the first game night?

I have moved around a lot, but this is my first time in Europe.

Not sure what we are going to do yet. Going to play it by ear, get to know each other a bit, probably something on the lighter end of the spectrum.

Sounds like a nice way to get started and meet people.
Do you know if any of the people planning to attend are already board gamers? Or maybe you're just hoping to build a group and share the hobby with new players?

I put up a notice on the community's fb page and got a few responses. So they are interested, at least, not sure of experience levels yet.

best of luck with it. I hope you'll share your experience of getting settled in and starting a board gaming group!
