Yeah, we had a couple attempted events where participation was really low (I totally understand that Real Life gets in the way sometimes), so I decided to lay off trying to schedule anything for awhile.
To be honest, what I would really like to do is set a specific date and location every month--like, the third Sunday of every month at Collectormania or something like that. That would prevent us having to try to schedule anything. Everyone would know when and where the group game day would be every month, and could show up if they wanted to.
If we were to do that, I would suggest picking a Sunday and meeting at Collectormania. Reasons for this: 1) we've played many Sundays at Collectormania and they pretty much always have room for us; 2) they have four 4x6' tables, so we can run multiple games (and this lessens the chance that there won't be any room for us to play); and 3) Collectormania is still the best mid-way point for the Denver and Colorado Springs crowds.
We also aren't required to play strictly Spartan games. We could do X-Wing, B5, or even board gaming (Firefly and Star Trek Ascendancy, anyone??). We could even have painting parties there (seems like there's always someone there painting/building gaming pieces). Again, I've never seen Collectormania completely full when we're in there (and we're usually in there on Sunday afternoons), so there would be plenty of table space for that sort of thing, especially down on the far end away from the front.
Interested to get people's input and thoughts on this.
