I'm in Wisconsin Minocqua but will have to work that day.

I'm in Wisconsin Minocqua but will have to work that day.

This is a regular meetup, generally held on the second Saturday of the month. Any time you're willing to make the drive, we'd love to have you. See also the Twin Cities ASL Yahoo Group for more information.

Maybe sometime we'll have to get a North Woods Jack Pine Savage get-to-gether as we have others in Hayward, Wis Rapids/Plainfield area, Rhinelander, Amery, Baldwin and here in Eau Claire as well as some others further east and Southern Wisconsin as well.

I would be game.

I would be game.

Hmmm? Lake Minocqua in the north woods in July/August? Put on some brats, bring out the "Point Beer" and Walleye & Northern Pike as a side distraction not to mention some fun ASL? Hey, love it if a plan comes together!

I'd make that drive. If nothing else, it'd be an opportunity to put some of the bigger scenarios on the table.

DUE TO TOMORROW'S WEATHER FORECAST, EVENT IS CANCELED.

Hopefully next month's event will not be affected by snow.

Any players left in the group from the late nineties/early oh ohs? I used to be part of the group when I lived there and had good memories of playing. For a good while it was in the basement of a city hall or police station - I forget which it was.

Sean Dennis is around from time to time, and he's been around as long as anyone. Beyond that, I really couldn't tell ya-- I joined up at the tail end of 2011. If rattled off a few names, I could at least tell you if I recognize any of them.

Curtis Brooks and Houlie may be the most likely candidates of the "regulars" that current attend, but there may be a few others that attend occasionally. (not to say Curtis & I have attended pretty regular in the past year though :facepalm

I haven't been around that long. I started going to TCASL around 2009 although I've lived here since 2000.

That would be the Hopkins PD. I made it there once probably in 2003 and then the group lost the space and it moved to Sean Dennis's place of work in St. Paul up until a couple years ago. Now, it typically meets at Fantasy Flight gaming center in Roseville -- a wonderful facility for gaming.

It is great to be a gamer in the Minneapolis - St. Paul metro area. With groups like TCASL and First Minnesota Wargame Society (among others) it is one of the most vibrant and most importantly -- welcoming -- gaming communities in the nation.

 

[Cult.44]

Played my first game at TCASL in 2012. I even won with a little (okay, a lot) of coaching from Mr. Yetter and some luck. I agree with Houlie, the Twin Cities is a good area for gaming generally. What else is there to do during the dark, cold, bleak, endless winters? I definitely would be up for a North Woods get-together.

 

[dynaman]

I remember Sean by name, I might have met you Houlie but the name is not familiar. Yes the Twin Cities is a great place for gaming, in addition to a lot of gamers in the area you have The Source Comics and Games. I make it a point to stop there every time I'm in the area, sadly with the death of my father in law we will probably only make one more trip to the area.
Keep rolling them dice!

I attended when we met in the Hopkins City Hall. Good times.

What ever happened to Boxcars Dave? He used to host it.

 

[Sully]

BTW - what is your real name?

 

[dynaman]

My real name is Paul Blankenship. I lived in the Cities area from 1997 till late 2003

I remember Dave, just couldn't remember his name. He used to host a weekly(?) game at his place for a short while. Also had a LAN party there where we played Total Annihilation once.

 

[Houlie]

Yep. Dave Lentz. He dropped shortly after I started. (Hmm?) I know he got really busy with his job at the time.

 

[Big Noodle]

Don "Big Noodle" Holland checking in. As I now live in Hayward, the Minoqua thing would sound good!

I was in TC for the supercross race during that flippin blizzard. Hail, lightning, 30 yard visability... What fun.
