I’m up for seasons. I’ll probably bring Machi Koro along as well.

Hello and happy New(ish) year.

I’ve booked our usual table area in the upstairs area of the Blue Posts for the last Saturday of each month. So The RPS Social London Chapter Community Drinks Meetup Fellowship Monthly Get-Together can restart for a new year on Saturday 31st January, I suggest we come up with a better name. The pub just refers to us as “games” by the way, if you’re new and want to come along but don’t know what to look for.

Just got a call from Michael, the Blue Posts’ manager, to let me know that unfortunately he’d accidentally double-booked the 29th of January and so he won’t be able to provide us our table upstairs that night. He suggested the following Saturday instead, so January’s social will now be Saturday 7th February. Sorry about that. Hope to see you guys there then instead.

Stense 2015-01-15 21:03:08 UTC #524

Well, this is awkward. I got another call from Michael of the posts so blue, seems he’d got the calendar wrong and the 29th isn’t double booked afterall. So we can have our regular last Saturday of the month slot on 31st of January.

I repeat, Saturday 31st January for the next social. Sorry for the false cries of date changing.

Do board games happen much?

MalkContent 2015-01-27 10:54:35 UTC #526

A fair amount, with a leaning towards more casual drinking friendly games. I’ll probably be bringing Master Plan, Noir and Blades of Legend as they all fit in my pocket.

As a general question, I remember at one time someone brought cake along. Is this generally acceptable or should I seek out special permission if I intent to bring baked goods along?

Stense 2015-01-27 12:55:58 UTC #527

I’m not sure about baked stuff. Generally you’re not allowed to take your own food into any pub, but I know there was one night a couple of years ago when they didn’t mind us bringing some things. I made some cookies. They were delicious. I think it would be best to ask if they’d mind us bringing along a cake or something. If for no other reason than to be polite!

Anyway, the first RPS night of the year is on Saturday. Huzzah! Who is coming?

Stense 2015-01-31 14:37:37 UTC #528

Just thought I’d mention that our table up stairs in the pub is booked from 8pm, under the name “games”. By all means turn up sooner if you like. I think I’ll be aiming to get their 7ish or so.

Heyo to those there yesterday who wanted my steam page, here you go: http://steamcommunity.com/id/alderneyvamp/

So… RPS night is this Saturday. I entrust to you all the sacred task of coming along and having a lovely time. Bring friends too if you want!

Same place and times, our regular area upstairs at The Blue Posts is booked from 8pm, but they don’t mind us turning up earlier if we want. See you there.

Manchester anyone?
If enough people interested i could organise something, ideally with Adam Smith’s blessing, but I’m not up to organising board games (or anything else but someone has to & I’m suffering from London-envy.)
If a Thursday rather than Saturday is doable then have a regular booking arranged anyway near Manchester uni.

Mags 2015-02-26 17:47:18 UTC #532

Currently in Liverpool. Could work something out maybe?

Dewi 2015-02-26 17:57:09 UTC #533

Considering I live here that would be awesome

Will there be an informal meet at or after Rezzed on Saturday 14th of March?

Stense 2015-02-27 11:33:18 UTC #535

I know that Adam Smith, of RPS fame, has often expressed interest in setting up meet-ups in or around Manchester. I guess he’d be a good person to ask, or maybe start a new Manchester Social thread and see who that attracts on the forums?

As for Rezzed, I’ve no idea. Wasn’t going to be going to the show myself, but I’d be surprised if there wasn’t people around who’d want to meet up.

Re: Manchester social - I can’t start a new thread.
I guess I’m not yet a Person Of Some Importance.

Stense 2015-03-01 16:55:29 UTC #537

Had a great time last night. So nice to see so many people turn up. Hope to see you again!

Stense 2015-03-24 12:35:07 UTC #538

It’s the most wonderful time of the month again, for the RPS social looms on the distant horizon of Saturday. It would be lovely to see everyone. Games and good times a plenty. Usual place, time and deal. You know the drill, so come along!

Hi, will there be any PC gaming done at the London meetup or is it purely boardgames and cards?

Stense 2015-03-26 16:01:12 UTC #540

Just boardgames and cards really.
