Holy sh*t, I knew I should have gone to that Super Bowl party!
Or rather, my former housemate is friends with those guys, one has a place a few blocks away from me, if you want me to ask for details.

YES! Details!
ION, I managed to leave work early enough to find and make it before they close, to the comic book/game shop! Woot! So, I am now the proud owner of the BSG board game!!
And, since I no longer live in the same neck of the woods as Drew & Kristin, I picked up my own copy of Settlers of Cataan! They had a very tempting set of Cataan, a hand crafted 3-d multi-pack in a nice wooden case. I was very tempted, until I saw the price ($400), then I gently put down the pretty box and backed away from the shelf.
I spent a bit more than if I had purchased at Amazon, but I'm supporting a local shop, plus, I haz it NOW!

I have asked, but, like everyone else, my former housemate is buying a house, so he's a bit distracted at the moment.
Mostly, I'm now thinking this guy is probably in town and I really want to meet him and see his fabulous place (with in-home movie theatre)!

Former housemate has this--it was a gift, or he won it, or something. It is very nice.

move out and draw fire
See, when I check my news feeds first before coming here, I end up forwarding stuff around to people who will also probably see it here.
So, sorry about doubling-up on the Wave thing, although I didn't squee largely about the gaming aspect in email.
Who wants to work on a dice-rolling app with me?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Excellent. And we now have five people in the game, which means we're ready to start! I'm sending out an email to the players; meanwhile, I've generated a random player order, as follows:

Raq
Sean
Laga
Raq's Husband
The first step is for everyone to choose their character. Omnis, which character do you want to play?

Bear vs Pissed-off wolf? You bet'cha. FIGHT! [link]
a. The charge of an attacking bear is hilarious.
b. Is there any weapon more ludicrous than a stick to poke people with? If you could program brutes, I would have his battle cry being "Get offa my lawn!"

BSG
Hi group. As mentioned in the email, some of us are novices, and I fall into this category. I'm going to take a stab at picking a character. I choose Sharon "Boomer" Valerii
I'm curious how this will work. I look forward to the fun!
