Hey all, we've had our best board game preregistration ever! So good, that we find ourselves scrambling to ease overcrowding on some of our scheduled games. If you own a copy of Dominant Species, Alien Frontiers, The Adventurers, Defenders of the Realm or Runewars and would be willing to teach (or at least loan it out) we're looking for some extra help! There is some (small) compensation for volunteering so you'd definitely qualify for that.
We're also looking for extra volunteers who can teach Arkham Horror, BSG and Agricola but we should be able to provide an extra copy of those games.
If you're able and willing to help out contact me through PM here or on BGG. Thanks!

HELP needed
I've volunteered to help Arkham Horror Friday at 11:30pm.
I need a set of Permanent Disability cards. If anyone has a set that I can borrow Friday night, please let me know.
The Man is planning a game of Arkham with an expansion (or two) for experienced players at 11:30pm on Friday to take in "overflow" pre-regs that aren't n00bs and who want to try an expansion. We don't know how many pre-regs will take us up on this offer, but we may need a couple bodies to fill out the table. If you are interested in 'flying standby' for this game (I'm looking at you KingPut and DaveRoswell) please touch base with me. Last time we ran an advanced Arkham game at ConnCon, everyone who participated really had a great time.

Uba,
I don't know about being an "advanced user", but playing Arkham with an expansion would be perfectly fine with me. First, I have to actually get to Stamford. I remember that last time I drove through Conneticut the roads were like the shrubbery maze in the Shining. I'm trying to find a less confusing way to get to the hotel. If anyone (especially those coming from NY) can help, let me know.

The hotel is like a block from I95, if you fuck it up, you lose.

Thanks Dave.
By advanced, I mean players who don't need much more than a quick refresher on the sliders and combat, plus the expansion rules. As long as someone else is handling the book keeping, playing an Arkham Horror investigator is like riding a bike. A little wobbly the first turn, but then it just all comes back to you.
So anyway, I'll put you on the reserve list. Just meet us over at the tables at 11:30, and we'll see how the pre-regs sort themselves out.

I can do with a spot of advanced Arkham if you still need bodies.

So we rolled in around 1:00. After playing Merchants and MAruaders, I discovered I am the sickiest pirate ever but can suck down cheap rum like a baby nursing on sweet mothers milk. Othergames included Richards spy proto, intrtigue and Nostra City. "Wassamater you! hey ! Fagetaboutit!"
Besides sucking down a 1/2 a bottle of cheap rum we also ran out for Thai food. That is a brutal combination...

Dammit, stop posting about your fun. I have to go to work in the morning before I can head over.
Of course you had Thai food. As far as I can tell that is all Loter eats.

Day 2:
Rum gone. Other provisions ok. Must sleep. the gaming continues even though I am past the point of exhaustion. I and other F:ATie surviors persevere to play games thought the night. Though I am past the point of exhaustion, others continue to play games through the evening. I hope canniblilism does not ensue. Must marshal my strength for the upcoming day.

Me, Malloc and the Spawn arrived 3:00 PM Friday.
We dusted Malloc, the Judge in 2 games of Buffy with Lotter Buffy, Spawn Willow and me Zanders and Oz. Than Malloc decided to take an easier bad guy and went as the Master and beat Lotter Buffy, Spawn Willow and me Zanders and Flim-Flam Oz.
Then me and the Spaw on side of good crushed the evil Malloc and Octavian in Star Wars epic duels.
By that point we had gathered up 6 players for a game of Ti3 (Malloc, me, Flim-Flam, Matt Lotter, Octavian and Bob). Malloc pulled out a 9 - 7 victory over me in record time, 5 1/2 hours.
Ended the night by playing "Fuck This" or some other wacky Uba card game with 6 - 8 tired drunks.
Good times.

One game I forgot about Friday was War on Terror: BGG Admin vs. F:AT. F:AT won a decisive victory.

Saturday's game list: Shadow Hunters, M&M, Washingtons War, BSG with the new Exodus expansion (now a must buy for me) and Mansions of Madness (I thought Madness was excellent).
