dalmer Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Hello there, Looking for a friendly game of 40k with the following parameters: * either at my place (Birch Bay area) or at Dark Tower Games * 1000 points... call me old school but I start with foundational concepts and work up from there * patient opponent who is willing to help me with the ruleset What I will bring other than 40k materials: * a positive attitude * good sportsmanship * patience and appreciation for your efforts and willingness to play "the new guy" * my 13 year old son Dawson if he wants to watch and/or be my teammate * years of experience with 40k, just not with 6th edition. So I know a little bit On either day I am available most times, as they're my days off and I do not have overtime or court scheduled. Disclaimer: my job is unpredictable so I reserve the right to last-minute cancel or flat-out leave during the game in the case of a SWAT callout. I obviously will do my best to avoid either and to communicate to my opponent. Please let me know if you are interested. Thanks and stay safe, don 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayne_Cobbb Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 So, If I Am losing, I Can have a buddy rob a bank, so you have to forfeit? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbitron Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 See, I'm also thinking that if my opponent answered his phone real quick and stated, "I must go. The SWAT team needs me." I'd chalk that up to a badass enough reason to leave that I'd be happy. EDIT: Also meant to say that I love teaching people to play, but unfortunately don't know if I could convince my wife to watch the baby for awhile. We shall see though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalmer Posted April 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 LOL Jayne_Cobbb I guess that's one way to get the forfeit! Although I'm sure if/when you play you'll see that although "victory conditions" and such are part of the game, I personally consider my local gaming circle to be peers, mentors, confidants, friends and such. Thus, for me it's all about learning, strategizing, gaining perspective and being a worthwhile part of some folks' gaming lives! Hobbitron, thanks for checking but obviously don't rock the boat at home. My work schedule has firmed up and I have 4-day and 5-day blocks of days off in a row. Thus, I will have plenty of time to schedule games and as long as no one minds I plan on just tossing out weekly "who wants to play" posts on the Warhamster forums. If it works out, awesome. If it doesn't work out schedule wise, there's always the week after that, etc. Thanks for the replies, gentlemen... very welcoming.

generalripphook Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 I could play a game on thursday at 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbitron Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 I have gotten a go ahead for a game preferably on Wednesday (after 6 PM if that's alright). Not sure if you're up for one each day, or if you'd rather take generalripphook up on his offer. Baby is old enough that we're trading favors for each of us to get out and enjoy hobbies/activities ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayne_Cobbb Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 I personally consider my local gaming circle to be peers, mentors, confidants, friends and such. Don't forget cold, hard criminals... Also, I am down to play either of those days, after 14:30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalmer Posted April 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 Hello there, Hobbitron, let's plan for WEDNESDAY THE 30TH at 6:30pm, then. 1000 points should make for a quick, tidy game to boot. Thank you for wanting to play and I will put it on the calendar. Dawson said he would like to come along, so FYI. generalripperhook, sadly I can't make it down on THURSDAY THE 1ST until after Dawson gets home from school at 3:30pm. Holler if later works better. Jayne_Cobbb, if you'd like to play on WEDNESDAY at 4:00pm, we could do that. Or on THURSDAY at 4:00pm or later, lemme know. Thanks folks, I'll do my best to do a correct army list during the next few days. Stay safe, don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generalripphook Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 Nah I got a soccer game I gotta warm up for at 4:45 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbitron Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 Sounds good. See you on the 30th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayne_Cobbb Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 And I will get the 1st. Remind me maybe? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalmer Posted April 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Jayne_Cobbb, copy that on the 1st. We'll do 4pm and I'll be bringing Dawson as soon as he gets home from school. So if we're right at 4pm or a skosh tardy, that's why. Stay safe and we're very happy that folks are willing to play! don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TW_Haines Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 If this is a semi regular thing I could throw a game at you too. I'm still new to the game, and learning the rules. So things get a little bogged down with me. Anyway if you are interested drop me a line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalmer Posted April 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 TW_Haines, Cool deal... yeah, I'm just gonna post each week to try and scare up some games... figure that no one will mind, as that's what the boards are for amongst other things.

dalmer Posted April 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Hello there, This post bump is a friendly reminder that on WEDNESDAY, APRIL 30th at 1830 hours I have a scheduled 40k game of 1000 points with HOBBITRON. Also, on THURSDAY, MAY 1st at 1600 hours I have a scheduled 40k game of 1000 points with JAYNE_COBBB. My apologies in advance that my models will not be completely painted or built but their game footprints will be intact. I worked on all four days off but on the upside I got my army list completed! Stay safe and Dawson and I are very much looking forward to the games! don 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbitron Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Hey Don, sorry to do this, but I have to cancel. About to take my wife to the ER. It's nothing super serious, but something that needs attention sooner rather than later (in case anyone is worried). But, won't be able to make the game. I'd love to try another time assuming my wife's body doesn't attempt to thwart me again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalmer Posted May 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Hobbitron, No worries at all! Dawson and I got to DTG and heard the news... hope all is well! Family first so no worries on this end. Stay safe, don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayne_Cobbb Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 See you tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalmer Posted May 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Jayne_Cobbb, My son and I should be there around 1600-ish, depending upon traffic. Coming from up north and his bus usually gets him here around 1530. Stay safe, don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
