Badmike wrote: The North Texas Acaeum meeting is definitely still on! Set for Saturday, November 18th, here in Euless. We can meet at my house or at the local La Quinta meeting room (just down the street) and dig through each other's games, run a few pickup boardgames or RPGs, or just shoot the breeze. I have talked to the owner of Generation X Comics and Games in Euless (right up the street from my house), and he has agreed to a 15% off any games purchased in store that day by Acaeum members only! (20% off if the purchase is over $100). They have a pretty nice selection of new and used stuff, lots of different genres as well as a full complement of WOTC stuff, so it might be a good time to stock up on stuff for Christmas. As for fun events, I guess we can use Steve's swords to slice up things in my backyard...I have a pretty big house and backyard with very little to get in the way of sword swinging. There are three Half Price Books within about 5-10 minutes from my house, two of them have a large stock of used games/books/videos if anyone wants to hit these. Lots of places to catch lunch/dinner right around, including a brand new Dickey's BBQ. Pockets (a chain poolhall/bar/restaurant) is about a block away from my house if anyone wants to down a few and shoot some pool. If we could have a roster call out, I can better decide. So far from looking at this thread, I see myself, King of Pain, Geoff, Gus, Steve, and maybe Jason Braun and Grodog? Of course anyone in or around the Dallas/Fort Worth area is welcome to attend. If we get the list from definite to maybe, I can send out maps/directions to everyone....Mike B.

I'll double-check and let you know, though.

JohnGaunt wrote:(Off-topic, since I won't be attending . . . )I tidied up some of the Half-Price Books in the Dallas Area. I may be out of town Tuesday through Friday of the coming week, or else I would have waited until later: . . . (1) Main Store (Northwest Highway) - Some waaay overpriced JG is there. I took some of the RPG items hiding in the Old Stuff vault and put them on the top shelf of the regular RPG section.. . . (2) Parker - Not much as far as collectible RPGs go, but I straightened out their shelves anyway.. . . (3) Campbell - I gave up trying to organize their shelves. They still alphabetize their RPGs by title, though this time they put Ravenloft all under the "R" section. Someone bought their overpriced boxed sets, because only one remains.. . . (4) Preston - Some AD&D/2E stuff. Also some V&V on the shelf and in the clearance rack.. . . (5) Mesquite - I did this earlier in the week. It has (or had) a Silver Anniversary Ravenloft module and an RPGA module. It also has two short-boxes of Chess Life. Campbell, Preston, and the Main Store were all fairly organized, so I must not be the only psychotic, errr, obsessive-compulsive who visits HPB.
