X-Wing is fun. I only played a demo. But I just got into Warmachine/Hordes. Also all the Slave Ones are out of stock at my LGS

Heh, I was seriously thinking about picking it up for the exact same reason.
You should check out Agents of Smersh, storytelling game but with Cold War spy theme, plays better in my opinion.
Oh man I didn't even know there was an expansion coming out! I'll definitely be hunting you down to try it out lol.
I could also bring some Heroscape maps if people wanted. I can fit 3 maps and 12 armies into 2 bins...
Added Fluxx to the request list in the OP. Welcome to the Dork Side!
All I have is the plain, vanilla Fluxx, but I'll bring it along!
I actually found a copy also, Museum of Modern Art website of all places, so I'll have a copy to play too, or loan out, either way, I have the first expansion too. I'll definitely be able to add Hanabi to the games I'm bringing, came in the mail yesterday and its so tiny...I could fit it in my pocket, the game is a blast, anyone can easily learn and lots of fun.
Bartender: We don't have Apples. Just Cards Against Humanity.
Ned Nederlander: What's Cards Against Humanity?
Bartender: Uh, it's like Apples.
I'll have Love Letter, Samurai Sword, and probably Monty Python Fluxx (with castle expansion) with me.
If anybody is willing to bring Robo Rally, Betrayal At House On the Hill I'd love to play either.
Show up whenever you want. It's not a planned event persay, more like a big game room for folks to drop in if they want.
Oh my Dayum
Oh my goodness
They goin' Ham
I can't say that I've ever seen it here. However, people are really nice and always happy to teach newbies, so don't be shy: step up and join some games!
I can't remember the last time I played a boardgame that someone in the group didn't have to be taught the game we were playing, it's just a fact of board gaming, especially once you get into Euro's and stuff, there are just so many different games, its unusual to have everyone know a game unless you have a steady gaming group. 99% of us are more than happy to teach a game, and we can usually ease a new gamer into the hobby, there are plenty of gateway games that are lots of fun to play. If you want to start slow look for a game of Carcassonne, or Settlers of Catan, or you can get in on party type games, like Fluxx or We Didn't Playtest This At All, they're all super easy to play and usually involve lots of hollering and laughing. Most people running a game will let you know if a game is beginner friendly if you only ask. Don't be intimidated, we love getting new people into the hobby!
@LexiconGrrl: Speaking of the games list in the OP, I think I know a few things on it that can be collapsed down or otherwise cleaned up.
Android: Infiltration and Android: Netrunner are two separate games, but they kinda look like one game in that list.
"Edrick" (I think), along with "EDH Deck" and "Spymaster of Trest" could be collapsed into the line for Magic: the Gathering.
I think the Netrunner line can be collapsed in with A:NR, but we would need clarification on whether that person was talking about Netrunner CCG or the Android: Netrunner LCG. They're different.
And, with Mage Knight under the list of declared games, "Mage the Knight Board Game" could probably be crossed out on the request list.
Hopefully I'm not being too pushy here
