よいお年を/明けましておめでとう (depending on when you read this). The January games day is at
e-able Nagoya, on Sunday the 29th, in the usual room (3階大会議室).
As always, we have the room from 9am to 4pm (4:30pm deadline to be packed up and out), and it's 500 yen for the day if you play any games.

I will be there to play 40K as usual! This time I'm planning on bringing Tau and Custodes, to answer two important questions:
1. Does the combination of nerfs and new books make them playable in polite society?
2. What are they even going to do vs a parking lot of Leman Russes?
@Mattb - happy to answer your challenge to the Greater Good. Would you like a 50PL game or a 100PL? I thought I might be restricted to 50 but 100 actually looks quite doable.

I'm planning on being there!
My big old box of Darkest Dungeon board game finally arrived this week, and jus and I are going to give it a go, so if one or two more folks want to try it out, hop on in! I've played through a questline solo, and can confirm that it's good fun, and "feels like Darkest Dungeon" in all the important ways.

Ooo, I'd be very interested in snagging a spot in Darkest Dungeon.
No idea how the game plays, but if you get one character, I have a strong affinity for Plague Doctor.

Do you think it'd be a whole or half day commitment?

I will be there.
Hopefully I can mainline some Malifaux.

I think I can come. Balloonacorn, it's been a while since we've had a game, would you like to play?

I think the three quests to take down a single boss will be a half day affair!

I wouldn't mind hopping in. Never heard of if before, but anything with the slightest wiff of Mordheim to it is a win for me. Some very, odd critters there. An interesting style, given the amazing, accurate sculpts you can do these days. I can see they are trying to match the sort of blocky old computer game graphics look and a bit of that old school- big heads/hands/feet look you'd get with old GW toys.

Hmm, okay. Depending on what everyone wants to do in the second half of the day, I could bring Mysterium, but we could probably fit two, if not three games of that in a half day. If you've never played it before, it's an extremely not-crunchy game, where you're basically trying to describe a murder scene using art and no words. Or I don't know if more Darkest Dungeon is on the table, but we might just be able to do more of that if everyone is up for it?

It's a really good computer / tablet game too! Both very grim and very dark, with a strong Lovecraft vibe and a really cool Mignola-esque art style - I think you'd dig it.
That's 4 for Darkest Dungeon! (It's a very heavy box so I'll probably just bring that, so if anyone wants to swap in / out for an afternoon session it'll be very doable - or I'd happily play something else.)

Sounds great!
