Bulk Order!
The Carleton U. Strategy Club will be doing its semi-annual bulk order this month!
Anything Fandom II has in stock or can obtain by the pick-up date is fair game. We will get a 20% discount if the order is between $1000 and $2000, and 25% if it's over $2000. Historically, we have had little trouble in reaching the $2K mark.
To add something to the order, contact me and tell me what you want to add. I will get back to you when it's put on reserve for us (at which time I'll also tell you the price), or when it's put on order if they don't have it in stock.
The pick-up date is November 7th, and so you should place your orders with me at least 2 weeks before that if possible (i.e., by the 24th of October). I will want to have your money by the 31st of October. There is a last-minute option in which you meet us at Fandom II on the evening of the pick-up date and arrange with me to add things they have in stock at that moment.
When I give pricing info, I'll generally go with the 20% discount after-tax cost, until we reach $2000. If you pay more than the eventual price of your stuff, I'll refund you the difference, of course.
You can get your stuff from me by arrangement after the 7th of November!

I'll be adding more to this list
The Heroes rulebook (the one you were recommending when you were talking about wanting to run a game)
Imperial
Bananagrams
Princes of Florence
Tsuro
A Touch of Evil, the Supernatural Game
*sobs* that Betrayal is probably out of print still
Re: I'll be adding more to this list
Imperial was stickered at $59 in the spring; we'll see if they still have it.
I haven't seen Bananananananagrams there, but I'll put it on order, along with one for myself.
I haven't seen Princes of Florence for a while, but since I already have it, I don't look hard.
Tsuro comes and goes; ordering it now has a good chance of getting it in in time.
I haven't heard of A Touch of Evil.
Betrayal is sadly hard to find, but I'll ask them to do what they can.
Re: I'll be adding more to this list
I think A Touch of Evil is new - it lokos like my cup of tea on BoardGameGeek.

Dunwich expands the playing area.
Curse of the Pharoah and King in Yellow are mostly card expansions.
All the expansions are deisnged to make sure that the game no longer fits in it's box.

Re: I'll be adding more to this list
I enjoy it, but it is a bit long. Also I have a house rule I want to try as a variation but I need to organize a couple of guinea pigs. I have the base game and the King in Yellow expansion - I haven't played with the King in Yellow sep rules yet (just the add-ins).
In the current rules, one can strategize aiming to fight the Old One - rather than ending the game before it awakens - in fact often this is how Shonokin and I and co have won because since you know what you are fighting you can run around the board being as prepared as possible. It depends - Azathoth and Cthulhu are hard to fight whereas MiGo is fairly easy.
I want to try a variation in which the doom track is set higher and "which" old one is not known until it awakens. It would change other minor aspects of game play (e.g. the special effects during the rise of the old one would not be in play) but I think it could work well.

Tease!
Re: I'll be adding more to this list
I'm generous though... people can come over and play it at my place!

Yes, it looked very similar. But with 19th century monsters! How cool is that?

That being said, I'll happily toss in if you deal with the staff and I just have to give you money.
I want:
5 copies (one-two-three-four-five) of "Savage Worlds Explorers Edition". Pinnacle Entertainment Group, softcover, 160 pages, should be $9.99 each.
1 copy "Pirates Of The Spanish Main" Hardcover. Pinnacle Entertainment.
1 copy "The Savage World Of Solomon Kane" Hardcover. Pinnacle Entertainment.
1 copy "Necropolis 2350" Hardcover. Triple Ace Games, and it won't be on sale until Oct 20th, but should be preorderable now.
1 copy "Slipstream" Hardcover, Pinnacle Entertainment.
1 copy "50 Fathoms", Pinnacle Entertainment - may no longer be in print.
1 copy "Sundered Skies" Hardcover. Triple Ace Games, available now.
This is several hundred dollars worth of stuff. I am completely, totally, 100% unwilling to waste my time talking to Fandom II staff. Either they can order it and I will give you money, or they can not order it and I will not give you money. Can you hook me up?

Savage Worlds: 2 of 5 set aside at $10 each, others on order. ($20 => $16.80)
Pirates: $40 => $33.60

Necropolis: F. has never heard of the company, but they're looking into it.
Slipstream: on order.
50 Fathoms: out of print, improbable.
Sundered Skies: if you meant Pinnacle Entertainment, it's in the box at $32 => $26.88; let me know!

I have two problems though, so it depends upon how nice you want to be :) First, I do have a chequebook with me but it will take about 3 weeks to reach you. This means that you may have to wait a bit before receiving the money as I cannot even guarantee that timing.
The other part is getting the stuff to me. Chances are good that by October 24th we should know if the postal service is doing free delivery to us, in which case you would have to box them up, write up an address, and drop it off at a local outlet of Canada Post (Billings?). If they don't offer that service then I won't bother at all. Still, it isn't exactly straight-forward for you, so what do you think?
no subject
I'm fine with covering for you while waiting for a cheque.
I think that under the circumstances, they'll probably be fine with us putting things aside on the assumption that the postal thing will work out, and if not, they will accept the cancellation.
So... Settlers, and what else?

Thanks!

San Juan is a lighter game with more luck involved and a similar feel. Race for the Galaxy is, in my opinion, a better take on the same idea.
Both are "building" games in which the players don't get in each other's way directly, although PR in particular has a couple of major mechanisms by which players can make each other's lives somewhat harder.

I might have a couple more games to add if my coworker likes playing the Settlers card game that I brought with me. I will let you know in the next day (so by Tuesday evening).
Also, please provide me with the amount that I should send on a cheque. If you think that it is almost guaranteed to be 25% and are okay with spotting me the difference in money on the off chance that it doesn't get to $2k then give me that price, otherwise I am quite happy to pay the 20% price and make you take me for a cuppa tea and a chat when I return (a very fair suggestion under the circumstances! :)
When I get confirmation of the costs (once I have confirmed my coworker's intent and the numbers from you) then I will send you a cheque. If it gets posted on 15 Oct then it should be close to making the 7 Nov deadline if we're lucky (although I have heard that the mail is delayed and will possibly take up to 6 weeks if we're unlucky).
I'm looking forward to these! Thanks for being a 'good sport' about it :)
no subject
And hey, if we can support you folks over there by providing entertainment, all the better, right?
no subject
I look forward to receiving these! I played the Settlers card game tonight and it took us about 3 hours for our first game (loads of instruction-reading involved) but it was fun and will hopefully be repeated in future. We don't have loads of spare time but a card game should be about the perfect length of time once we have the details down pat.

No. I guess you figured that out already, huh?
