Don't they also mean, I am stopped, dangerous cargo, engines going astern?  Are we sure that's the message we want to send?  ;)

In honor of Greg's RSN, maybe we should do:
Juliet - On Fire
Bravo - Dangerous Cargo
Zulu - Require a Tug

:)

<sigh> I really don't know why I continue to play with you people...

To quote Black Adder:

Physician- "Oh no sir, it's all part of the service."

Seriously, we only give this much crap to the people we like.  :)

I must be really well-liked.

Revised shirt design!



This one uses the new logo, and goes with the consensus that it should be on the back. What do you think?

I'll plan on wearing my t-shirts "Sheldon Cooper style" for Adepticon (i.e. over a long sleeve) - that way I can show off the back logo. :-)

Looks good Andy. Coming in around the same price?

Yep! Still holding to the $20 price point.

Landlubber's thread on his new space mat (http://www.manbattlestations.com/forum/index.php?topic=1145.0) got me to thinking...we should probably start thinking about who will be bringing what in terms of mats and terrain! I have a nice 4x6 water mat I was planning on bringing, along with my Dreadfleet mat (I forget the dimensions on this, but I want to say it is around 3.5x5'), my War at Sea mat, and my 3x3' space mat.

I'm bringing my cloth ocean-themed mat for Dystopian Wars, and my cloth space-themed mat for everything else. The vinyl mats are nice, but they're just too big to bring--the cloth mats fold up very small, and the space mat is big enough to accommodate any games that need up to a 4'x8' play area. I'll also bring lava rocks (asteroids), probably a TA-4 Starport space station model, and maybe some of my islands for Dystopian Wars.

I know there's no room for my 6x4 "mousepad" mat. And I doubt there'll be bag-room for terrain that isn't flat :-)

That said, I'll have a Relthozan station for my 2nd list that could be terrain, and some flat asteroids and planets from X-Wing, BFG, etc.

Yeah, I was figuring terrain would be flat counters and even felt or cloth templates, so that they can be rolled up for easy storage.

One thing, with bringing my 6'x4' mat, that would be enough run two separate games on by divding it in half to two 3'x4' areas. That actually works well to keep game lengths down, though of course you do lose some of your maneuvering room!

You guys are welcome to use either of my gaming mats at the con if I'm not using them myself. They're very light and fold up easily. I will bring the space mat to the Firestorm Armada tourney, not sure if it will get used.

Who knows? At least there will be an extra ;). I'm planning on bringing some felt pieces to serve as "terrain" as well. I figure it will transport easily.

At this point, I'm hoping that we can start refining the schedule a bit. Looking at what's on the Google calendar right now, it seems like Thursday afternoon may be the best window of opportunity for most or all of us to get together for a few hours. It's either that, or pick one evening and stay up late to do it! What do you all think? I would like to get a head count together of who all is going to be there, as I'm thinking of making a certificate for all  of you to commemorate the get-together ;).
