Preparing for TurkeyCon
With the middle of November passed, Thanksgiving is coming, and so it's time to prepare for another TurkeyCon.
Okay, it's only kinda a Con, more an annual gathering of friends to socialize, game, watch, and eat. By this time next week, it'll already be started. I, for one, can't wait! And yes, barring any unexpected developments, there is full connectivity from T'Con, to there will probably be daily updates like there were last year.
This year, I'm going to be following T'Con with a week at my company's HQ, which means 13 days away from my home and cats, but it also means two fewer vacation days used up by the trip (usually the following Monday and Tuesday are consumed by the drive home). Yeah, it means a train trip from Cary to Greensboro on Monday morning and a flight back to New England on Thursday, but I think I can make that work. Connectivity is a maybe, though... The Marriott in downtown Greensboro was adding broadband last time I was there (and not yet charging for it), but it wasn't yet in all rooms. We'll see how things have progressed.
I have every hope of continuing to post in all the PBEM games I'm currently active in.
I'm mostly packed for the trip already (this was my laundry and packing weekend)... Those who know me are probably not surprised that my major bring-along to T'Con is as many board and card games as I can fit into the (strictly limited) space granted to me in Julia and Lou's minivan. Two big tubs are currently packed as tightly as I can manage to maximize choices...
Details are below the fold.
Tub 1
Blue Moon
Grave Robbers from Outer Space (with 3 expansions)

Queen's Necklace
Betrayal At House on the Hill

Balloon Cup
Runebound (with first expansion)
Attika
Axis and Allies D-Day
James Earnest's Totally Renamed Spy Game
Tub 2
Master and Commander
Duell (the new edition of En Garde, a personal favorite)
Apples to Apples (with expansions)
Memoir '44 (for BIG GAME PLAY, as there's already one copy there)
Arkham Horror
King's Breakfast
Ticket to Ride
Wheedle
Wooly Bully
War of the Rings
Mare Nostrum

I'm still fiddling with a few tricks to squeeze in a couple more space-efficient games as well.
