Hey everyone. Just wondering if the group still meets or what?

Sort of. I confess to not having checked here for notices for a long
time because of the lack of activity / participation.

re: the gamedays
I've been at The Source the past two months and the attendance -aside
from my kids and their friends (a couple photos of the games in
December can be seen at
http://s575.photobucket.com/albums/ss191/brawlfactory/Geek%20Partnership%20Society/Dec%2012th%20-%20Penguins%20and%20Space%20Marines/)
- has been negligable. Still, since I put up the posters in the store
I'll keep showing up as much as I can: I'll be there today with some
stuff...dunno if Elliot will be there...but will miss next month (will
be in DesMoines for a Con).

re: the group
I've not delved into it enough to have much authority attached to my
opinion, but it seems to be that as long as the gaming branch is
separated from the main Geek organization (I can't post announcements
of the gamedays to the geek page nor place anything on their calender -
it may be possible, but I'm sort of a computer-klutz, so...) then I
don't see it has having much of a future. For all I know there may be
plenty of people in the main group that would stop in for an hour or
so on a Sunday afternoon but don't simply because they don't know
anything is going on? dunno...Like I said: I've not 'rolled up my
sleeves' and really worked for it, so my observations may simply be
the result of a self-fullfilling prophecy.

I'm still willing to bring/run things to the event and do what I can
to promote it, but my past efforts haven't seemed to work much, and
I'm not sure (being 30+ miles out of town) I'm really a good candidate
for taking the reins.

I had one player show interest in the 'Vermin Khan' game I'd set up
last weekend so we sat down for some dice-rolling. He snapped some
photos and was kind enough to forward them to me. I've posted them to
my photobucket album:

As posted above, I'll miss next month's gameday (May's as well) as
I'll be out of town at gaming conventions.

We have lost some of our gaming space at the Source because of non-support
from the membership. I had the embarrasing experience of being told that
another active group wanted the space that we have not been using.

We will loose all of the space at the Source if attendance does not improve.

Now I will be putting on a historical game on Sunday 3/13

If you want a club, you'll have to support it.

That has not been happening.

It is dishearting to Don and myself to turn up, set up games then not have
people show up.

I am not aware of anything happening that was available to attend.  Please let me know what I am missing.

"I am not aware of anything happening that was available to attend."

That, I think, is the problem: how to get word to people outside of
this (little-used) group page.


"Please let me know what I am missing."

A couple of the events have some photos available on my photobucket
account:
http://s575.photobucket.com/albums/ss191/brawlfactory/Geek%20Partnership%20Society/

...and an idea of a few other things I've brought (like the B&P space
marines and the Starroom Brawl) can be seen at:
http://www.glewwe-castle.com/brawl-factory/

Elliot has been running a Napoleonics-era miniatures game off and on
(I assume that's what he'll do this Sunday?).


As previously mentioned, I will be in DesMoines this weekend with my
pile of goodies, but am more than willing to accept requests for
something to bring/run for April --assuming we have space/tables...

Willing to help with any marketing and word get out efforts.
Even help just organize/record.

(Me to this list, so not sure what is needed, but offering.)
