I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and new year.
This month was a test into what our group can coordinate outside of our normal game night. Our normal meeting location at Right Brain Brewery was closed on Sunday for New Year’s and Christmas so we had to fit in the gaming when we could. This was also further damaged by the fact that we simply were too busy to get to the table in a regular fashion. Family and friends require attention too an especially around the holiday. We were able to secure a second location for game nights at a new brewery called Earthen Ales. The owners being gamers were very excited to have the night being hosted at their brewery but also be able to see what games come to their tables. I felt like this was a wonderful chance encounter and a perfect night for our group as not everyone can consistently make it on Sunday. I’m looking forward to the progress we make with our new gaming location.
I’m going to keep this light and just dive directly into the statistics as I tend to ramble on.
Let the games begin
