Gaming stuff

Two items:

1: The Carleton U. Strategy Club is doing another bulk order at Fandom II. If there's anything you want to buy there, this is a good chance to get a discount; you can buy things on the order through me if you want. Interested? Let me know!

2: My RoboRally board for CanGames is printed (after some fiddly conversions: CorelDraw is wonderful for some things, but our old printer Just Can't Handle the big vector files), but not yet assembled. It's bigger than usual this year, being 21x21 instead of my usual 15x15; this is because robots will be moving faster than usual. The title this year is Robots! In! Spaaaace!; make of that what you will. There will be a playtest, probably next month; date to be announced once I have a reasonable plan for how to do the assembly work before the thaw.

for the bulk order, the only thing I want at this point in time is the Base book for Fairymeat. Fandom should still have it.

Does the "Base book for Fairymeat" involve recipes?

Naw, like most nasty animalistic cannibals they like their meat raw.

Out of stock, out of print; Fandom will ask their distributors if they have any on shelves though.

*sigh* figures. Thank you for making inquiries.

another possibility has arisen. Tho this may cost more. There is a game from an italian site that has just become available. A game called The Surname of the Rose.
link is here

what d'you think, might it be possible to get this thru fandom and you guys?

This? We shall try... *sends e-mail*

certainly seems like the right game.

[identity profile] ironphoenix.livejournal.com 2008-02-25 04:56 pm (UTC)(link)
We checked; Fairymeat isn't available at their distributors, and The Surname of the Rose isn't available in North America yet.

Sorries!
