If you're from glorious Cascadia, post here... Maybe we can use this thread as a way to organize our various shenanigans and maybe even get together for games, if people are willing to make the drive. I'm from Vancouver, British Columbia, but I make a lot of trips to Bellingham and beyond on a fairly regular basis. Usually make a point of dropping by Games and Things to flash some Benjamins, if ya nah meen. B)

I am in Seattle and have an RPG Battletech group running for about 20 years. Were currently looking for one more player.

My group has in the past run a few Battletech events at Norwestcon but nothing recently.

Moses Lake area here, smack dab in the middle, surrounded by sagebrush. Don't know of anyone else in this area who plays and is aware of these boards. I was attempting to make it up to Spokane last year for some scheduled games at Merlyns, but that equals 4 hours of driving round trip from where I'm at.

We had a great game today here in tacoma. Clan Goliath Scorpion vs. The Eridani Light Horse on Huntress. Huge game, 47000 bv 2. 5 hour game. The Scorps won but the ELH put up a damn good fight. It was touch and go a few turns but when we called it the outcome was pretty clear.

I run the games here in Portland at Guardian Games every Monday evening. It's a weird play time, but I work in retail so weekend games are out for me. There is another Catalyst demo team member here and he runs games up in Gresham. Then there's another gaming group that meets occasionally on Sunday's at Epic Games. So we've got plenty of Battletech to wet your whistle.

Then we've got our big Con coming up in Vancouver Washington. This year it's all about the Clan War of Reaving. That happens at Gamestorm March 22-25th.

Ah that explains it. Last I knew you guys were doing that on Tuesdays and nothing was going on last time I was there and it was a Tuesday at the specified time.

Any rate Guardian Games is the closest game shop that actually carries minis so you may catch me and Liam's Ghost down there now and again. Getting us to actually show up to a game though? That may be a minor miracle.

My current belief is that if you want to play a game at a certain place then you'll make the time. I stopped trying to cajole people into coming to the games. It's a waste of my time. You'll either show up or you won't.

But thanks for supporting Guardian Games. Angel's got a nice place and she supports us, which is hard to come by these days.

Take a drive through the downtown area and you'll know what I'm talking about. Tried to find a game store near Pike street... Or Pine, I can't remember anymore. It was a gong show. I should've been more specific, I was not amused by downtown Seattle. Suffice it to say, I never found the store I was looking for and I got stuck behind a train on the way to the waterfront for dinner at Elliot's, which is not quite as awesome as Rodney's oyster house back home. So, I was not amused by Seattle's down town* at all.

Other times I get really annoyed because you guys don't know the proper etiquette because you aren't driving around the place for six hours a day like me.
