tapeslinger

I am pretty not great at anything involving guns or I would be down, dee

I apparently did not inherit my mother's latent marksmanship skills
(granted, those manifested sometime after I was born from what I understand)

tapeslinger

so are we all partied out or should we be looking ahead to
jesus christ it is almost September what the fuck

nexuscrawler

hangouts at my place tommorow

no particular plans as of yet but games may be involved

EggyToast

Supposed to be a big beach party on saturday night and sunday morning, right?

tapeslinger

Ahahaha yes. my boss seems to think we should be open on Saturday. Our store hours on Saturdays are 10 am to 6 pm. Right now supposedly public transit will be shut down if it is deemed necessary. Since I take public transit to and from work this is an issue. I am not sure what to make of all the hurricane hubbub myself but if they are even threatening to close down the subways I have to think twice about it if there's a chance of getting stranded.

tapeslinger

According to nytmetro via twitter mta will be shutting down at noon tomorrow dogs

Think we might make a bunker over at 9th and Coles tavern...

TomeWyrm

Yeah, MTA is shutting down at noon.

I get to move in this nonsense, god help me. Why did it have to be tomorrow!?

Gooey

Really? Noon?

Damn. I was hoping to get some stuff done tomorrow while it's still halfway decent out.

Bloomberg's ordered the evacuation of Battery Park and the financial district.

This whole thing is being blown way out of proportion I think.

tapeslinger

Better to blow it out of proportion than to have another disaster like last years blizzard though. That was a clusterfuck of bad communication.

YamiNoSenshi

I think it's going to be bad. Not as bad as the media is hyping, but evacing the coastal zone is probably a good idea. Anyway, we'll be meeting up at my place on Sunday to fish off the balcony, assuming it's still attached.

Deebaser

Noon? Well the missus and I won't be able to make it to Jersey day drinking.

syndalis

Okay, time to revive this thread for some dungeons and dragons action.

There is apparently some interest in getting a 4th edition game happening in the NYC/NJ area, and I would not mind running one at all.

So, with that said... so long as someone has a place to handle 4-6 players plus me that would be willing to host us for 4-6 three to five hour long nights over the course of a month or two, I would love to run something.

Having done the epically long games back in the day and largely getting them out of my system, I am a much bigger fan of high action, high drama games that have a logical beginning, middle and endgame, and take place over about 5 sessions.

That way, it never gets tedious, and I can do a great deal of planning in advance to make sure everyone has something fun to do, and something relevant for their characters, and tie it all together without having to go all LOST on it because it went on for too long.

TomeWyrm

I'm always down for some dice rolling. I've been playing 4e since it came out, so I'm able and willing to help out any new players in making characters and learning the game. I could host games, but my new apartment is just south of Prospect Park in Brooklyn, so sorta out there for some. Also don't have a table yet...

But yeah, count me in!

syndalis

I suspect we may be able to get nexuscrawler to host the D&D funtimes... though JC is pretty far for everyone also.

Gooey

i am down like a clown charlie brown

Johnson Masterson: Crusher of Hippie Wood Elves, spear-chucking fury barbarian and all-around awesome dude is ready to crush some things

I am so ready to learn how to D&D

we should record our d&d d&d so d&d can get in on the d&d d&d

YamiNoSenshi

JC I could probably do, but I'd be hesitant to commit to anything in the city on a recurring basis.

nexuscrawler

Hangout/ board game times at my place tomorrow

So Nexus, with advance warning, are you down for some D&D shenanigans?

TomeWyrm

We should just play at Brownstone. Bacon strip lightning bolts, maple syrup difficult terrain, and pancake golems!

nexuscrawler

yeah I'd be up or some dice derpin

tapeslinger

I can host dice derpin but I am not much of a dice derper myself. Jc is far but so is everywhere else

RedTide

I'd like to be on the list because I keep telling myself that I'll make it to one of these things

Noggin

I've been wondering if this is strictly a North Jersey/NY thread, or all of NJ?

It'd be cool to meet some forum peoples if there are any other South Jersey folks lurking around.

Deebaser

I think this thread is just for NYC and PATHable Jersey.

Noggin

That's pretty much what I figured, but was too curious not to clarify. Thanks for your answer.

Carry on then.

Zek

I live in NJ and am often up for stuff. When and where is this business tomorrow?

tapeslinger

maybe game night at nex's house in jc tomorrow, I haven't heard yet. Pm him for the address if you are in!
