And I'm back! With 2 dates!

March 9: we will resume! At noon.
 I'll plan for both a resumption of the Clan campaign, and a grinder in case absolutely no one is still interested in that campaign...

Second date: April 13. Not sure what we'll be doing then, since it'll rely on the feedback. It's been a bit and I dont want people to feel obligated. The goal = fun!

All I can say is maybe at this point... I'll be TAD early in the first week, and it'll depend on how travel goes...

And once again, you'll be there on a day that I can't make it. I'm solo parenting this weekend into early next week, and there's a 75%+ chance my sister is having her kid this weekend.

Hey guys, is this group still active? I've just moved back to the NOVA/DC/Maryland region and anticipate being here for quite some time. I'd be interested in joining for a monthly or bi-monthly game whenever possible. I've been painting BT minis for several years now; it would be nice to fit an occasional game into my schedule too! Thanks!

Yep, though im being a slacker and taking a break for a bit. May attempt to run again in July.

But something smaller, like a 1 on 1 game, thats an easier pull if that wait is too long.

The wait's not tool long, just the drive...  ::)

If I actually have access to a vehicle at that point (competition from the rest of the family is a... yeah, not going there), I'll try to make it.

Daryk,

Offer is still open to open any weekend I am headed up there to pick you up and drop you off.  Otherwise if you want a play a small game here or there I could drive up there.  Jester006 indicated the shop in Chantilly is closed and trying to 'reorganize'.  Both of us seem skeptical that that will happen anytime soon.  Nomad where are you in the region?

I'll be in Falls Church. I'll be away a big part of the summer, but would look to join a game some time in September - October once the family is settled.

Relatively speaking yes.  Millage wise it's probably 50-60 miles one way.  But after commuting N and S for this long it's nothing to me.  The only real issue is the majority of it is I95 along the worst stretch in VA.  What should take 45 minutes to an hour travel can easily blow up to a larger travel time due to accidents, volume, or just asinine drivers rubber necking in the passing lane. Also of note for Nomad is that Redshirt is in that same general area.  Assuming we can wrangle a local spot, perhaps we could get him out there as well.

Hiya, I'm in NW DC and I'm getting back into the game after a loooong hiatus.  A friend and I have been playing a few casual games at Third Eye Games in Annapolis, they've been pretty good about stocking Battletech sets and maps, and they aren't too far from DC.  I'm still rusty and re-learning the game, so it would be nice to play with somebody who's more confident about the rules.

Hey megs.

Glad to see a new person on the boards.  I'm not sure if the MD group has anything planned for the next month or two; nothing involving a campaign anyways.

I will be running some one-shot style games at Huzzah Hobbies on Saturdays to hopefully get new people interested and to get them up to speed on the rules in preparation for a campaign.

I will be running games using only Inner Sphere tech and some games that will mix in clan tech and some other homebrew things.  I will then ask people what type of campaign they want to run.

You're more than welcome to join in on one or more of the sessions where I'll be running my introduction games.  I will be posting dates under the "Battletech Beatdowns in Northern VA" thread.
Did you hear about the LEGO store grand opening?  People were lined up for blocks...

Cool, I've been looking for a reason to check out Huzzah Hobbies.  I can't make it this weekend since I lent my friend all my record sheets but I'll try and make it out there at some point.

Just send me a PM when you know for certain that you wish to go.  I am on vacation this week so have plenty of down time to looking at the forums.  During a normal week though I only check in a couple times a week, but I get alerts for PMs.

Protos! I've only ever been on the receiving end.

Also, Celestials. Maybe a Hunt for Berith, late or post-Jihad thing?
