That's all the sales pitch I needed, Jilli. Added to the list to check out.

Our wings are not tired

I know we have Set. I have played Bohnanza but am not sure if we own it. I know it has been on the list so if we don't have it then we might need to get it. We also have fluxx and Zombie Fluxx.

I also desperately want to pick up a copy of the OOTS board game. I know Laga has played it.

Also, Jilli, you wicked, evil temptress. You made me want to buy Unhallowed Metropolis, but I can find it nowhere for sale.

Oh crap, is it out of stock everywhere? I'm sorry, Sean. I know that one of my local gaming stores should have it in stock; want me to pick up a copy for you?

(Notice how I am NOT saying "Sean, you should come to Seattle"? Admire my self-control here, people.)

SO EVIL.

Yeah, maybe you should pick up a copy for me. It's what, about $40?

Something like that. I'm going to see the wife of the store owner tomorrow night, so I'll ask her if she knows if they've got it in stock.

What a lovely thread!!! Where are the Cheetoes?

Sean, you might take a look at Savage Worlds for a ruleset before you roll your own. It's not quite levelless, but close. I like it quite a bit.

I miss DMing--hell, I miss D&D, but the only games around here are Living Greyhawk, which I hate. Yes, yes, the answer to that is to start my own game, but I want to play and hack and slash and snark at a DM who knows what he/she is doing.

And please fear not, libkitty. I know several of the people who started the thread also play Scrabulous, including myself.

So this means we should invite each other, yes? I think I've friended you on Facebook...

::runs off to Facebook to invite Sean to Scrabulous::

I like Scrabulous, but I only check Facebook about once a week.

I wasn't all that whelmed with Settlers of Catan, but thought it was decent enough. I really like Starfarers of Catan, although the nifty spaceships are breaking.

Have you Catan fans played Carcassone or Caylus?
