I wanna play that Star Trek game with loads of computers all linked together where everyone has a different role.

I'm not talking about that horseshit, fiddling around with bits, rolling dice crap board game. I'm talking about full on computer screens and doing Star Trek shit.

Can anyone sort this out?

I think he;s talking about Artemis spaceship bridge simulator. More serious than space team.

Artemis

I saw that set up at Buckeye Game Fest a few years ago. Pretty elaborate.

Not planned for this year (arrival of our third kid happened in March), and I havent been in years - but it looks like it'll be further away from me next year in Western PA.

I should have been paying attention to this. Just moved to Pittsburgh last month, I'd like to check it out, but not sure I can make it on short notice.

4 hour drive from Pittsburgh to Lancaster. Just did the drive Sunday. There's some cheap hotels in Lancster.

Just think Metalface, next year you'll be about 5 and a half minutes from the new location!

Is Repoman going to WBC?

Not this year, unfortunately. Next year hopefully.

Sad to hear that Repo. I am going to make it this year but not as much as years past. Work has it's teeth in me this year.

I will make evenings during the week.

I would love to play Argent, Runewars, BSG, and other stuff. Maybe a game of mageknight.

See you all there when I can

Casey's only gonna be about 5 mins from the new location next year? I've long thought of playing TITAN and Manoeuvre in tournaments.

Casey, interested in putting up The Commish sometime?

Struggle of Booze (empires:) is scheduled for Monday night 7;30 ish. Me, Uba, Al. Malloc, brother Bobbttweeks andJGriff and Andy Joy. I expect lots of drinking, cussing and maybe a table flip.

TI:3, Kingput?

nm, duh, I just realize struggle of booze was a tip off for the game. Durrrrrrr.

We named it Struggle of Booze a couple years ago after the game we had 3 Whiskey drinkers. 3 Scotch drinkers and 1 rum drinker at the table. We're a little worried about starting so hard core on the first night but I'm a little worried the host Hotel won't last the week. It's on the verge of being condemned.

Yeah, I had this wild thought of coming to WBC this year and I was like "nope, why don't I wait until they're at an actual venue that isn't rotting."

Is it worse this year? I remember laughing and laughing at all the cheap ass BGGers who were SO MAD about losing Lancaster Host, that Jewel of the Northeast.

Tough bar to get under.

I changed my tune quick when me, my son, and several field mice were sharing a room last year. Keep-it-in-Lancaster became get-it-out-of-the-Host.

For me it's about location. I won't get out to Pittsburgh, even if it's the same price. I'd like to, but I won't.

I've largely written WBC off already just because I can split a monster house near the shore five times a year in the off-season for the same price as a few nights at WBC. But after being there last year and seeing my entire wing of hotel rooms out of service because there were no doorknobs available for them, it became pretty apparent that the Host was toast. I'm surprised it's open this year.
