A weekend, then.

Had eyebeams, nottheterritory and non LJ user Dave over for Games, Pizza & Rappin about Foucault yesterday.

Played some Buffy Board Game (the game plays FAST when everyone knows what to do), some Counting Zzzzs, Chrononauts (cockroaches forever!), Filthy Rich and some other stuff.

Dinner provided by the fine people at Domnios, where there's a guy who wears shorts.
Dave gave me a hoilday gift (Randy Orton Legend Killer Tour t-shirt) and brought along his newest piece of fun, a Lord of the Rings board game. The manual (or rather, tome) of rules, the 2+ hour game time (and no game runs on time the first time you play), and the fact it had more pieces than I find comforting scared us off.

We also discussed the viability of the d20 Modern system (Yes, Alex, it is good).

Then they left and I fell asleep on the couch.

Feh. Tomorrow is Monday, isn't it?

Grr... stupid work. I watched white trash and their children all day.

It's okay. You were being productive and responsible.

Next time, there will be more heads up.

You know, not scoring a copy of the Buffy game when I had the brief chance to is turning out to be one of my life's great regrets. The only ones we ever got were special orders for other folks, and apparently it had a printing lifetime of hours.

I do hear the Lord of the Rings game is fun, if difficult to win at (if it's the version where every player is essentially playing against Sauron).

Oddly enough, the Buffy BG was an anniversary gift for my wife.

I had to hunt all over town for a copy of it, and ended up buying it for her at the Silver Snail.

A while later, a toy store in teh area had a couple dozen copies available at half price, so we bought one for a friend. Should have picked up a couple more, in hindsight.
