Montreal Group?

Hi guys!

That could be something very interesting. Someone plan a meeting and let use know!

Yes it could be a good idea to meet each other. I live in montreal-north. So we somewhat live at the 4 corners of the city (^_^).

I have a proposition, on may 27th, 28th, there is a D&D miniature tournament ( I intended to make another post on this forum with all the info) that takes place at my college. If things goes correctly, I might be a part of the staff. If I have free time during the convention, they don't mind that we play other board games while the tournament is active. We would also probably have access to all the games in the game club.

So this would be the perfect gathering place. On the other hand, there is and entrance fee of 25$, but I think it is only for the contestants, I'll contact the admin and ask.

Just for my curiosity: Who can speak french and who can only speak english?

Hi,

Although I speak French more fluently, it could be a good opportunity to practice my English, if it can make things more easier for someone else. At worse, we could have Frenglish sessions:D . I think language would not be a barrier, since at least everyone can post in English on this forum.

Also, even though I am booked for the three next weekends, I could manage to free myself for short gaming sessions in the weekdays evening. I work downtown Montreal, thus I could reach any of you guys more easily.

Regards,

Jeb

OK, I have some news. From what I know, My school is oponed all summer. So at anytime, we can gather ourselft in the cafeteria or in the game club, I can ask for the key. Still, I am not sure of the opening hours, I'll have to ask, and we will have to enter in the main entrance so that the security can see us.

If you want to gather after may 27th and 28th, it's OK, it will fit with my schedule.

Now for the location, since everybody seems to live on the south shore and at least 2 of you near a metro, "College de maisonneuve" seems like a good location since it is near the south shore and a metro. But If you come by car, there might be some parking restriction around the college. So for those who lives on the south shore, I suggest you park at metro "Longeuil" and come by metro.

I am openend to other location suggestion.

Now for the gathering, I first tought that we could see each other at least once, but if you want to playtest regularly, I might be available to play once each 2 weeks when my friends will start again their D&D game that I don't want to participate in.

Here are the maps. First there is the exterior map :

The main entrance is near the red star. I placed a M inside a circle to indicate the metro locations. Then there is the interior map. We can play either at the cateferia or the game club.

So if you follow the path correctly, you should go down to floor 2 by using the stairs before reaching the cafeteria or game club.

I'll probably wait for everybody in the lobby of the main entrance for the first day.

So as a first meeting, I suggest the following day and time :

Saturday, June 3rd, 2006 at 9h00.
It should end around 17h00

Bring all the prototypes you have and we'll play a few of them. Bring either a lunch or some money to buy food.

I don't mind for june 10th.

That sounds great hpox, this is a good way to get to know each other. Realisticaly, some of us might not like one another and this way, we can at least be more objective and know in advance before showing stuff that might be dear to us(as they are our creations, and let's just say most humans pratice attachment on a regular basis, i know i do!!! hehehe).

So? Second cup or Starbucks? I prefer the later, but i'm open to suggestions. Where are the best tables? We will need space if we want to play games.

There problem with a restaurant , cafe or any other commercial place is :

1- We must buy their stuff.
2- We can't stay there indefinitely.
3- We can't play games in their store.

So I think it will have to stay short, at most an hour or two.

If it is what you want, I don't mind

If you want to gather somewhere downtown, just give a few indication on how to get there ( ex: metro station ) because I can get lost easily, especially downtown: I don't go there often.

Any time for me is good. 10 am is usefull: there is much less people in restaurants or coffee shops at that time, 13pm is very busy with people working downtown.

I'm good with the program: Concordia is a good place to keep it going. There are at least 3 coffee shops VERY close (in front of the describded building!), second cup, coffee depot an starbucks...anywhere you guys want to go i'm up to it.

Se you there guys!
