By Sally

Following our successful pilot day in November there will be monthly Sunday gaming at the Talbot Inn, Anglesey Road, Burton. January's event is on Sunday the 27th, we may move the regular weekend to earlier in the month to avoid clashing with Raiders of the Games Cupboard and Birmingham Expo. 12 noon 'til 11pm, board games, card games and wargames, tea, coffee and snacks available as well as good beer.

I will be there & look forward to my first game of Flames of war in ages.

 >:DGinger

I also intend to be at the 27-01-13 event but I am still trying to decide if I do magic or if I do other games choices +:bandhead=+::banghead:

 >:DGinger

Done it Magic Saturday & boardgames Sunday I have also invited the Spirit Games Cardfight group along as they may want an impromptu tournament & most of them like boardgames as well.

Any one got any particular plans for this? I want to have a go at whatever version of Civilisation the boardgame Martin has all the better if its the first one. I also really want to have another X-Wing Game though I should be at home putting up Racking & work sort of stuff....


 >:DGinger

May have to miss this as my Sunday lad is stranded in the nether regions of hell (AKA STOKE) & I am going to have to do the round and the paperwork, I will be half way there about 8-30 though as I have a new customer up that way - goes off mumbling as had lots of stuff to do......

being an evil genius is work I tell you.

Going to bale out again this time need the rest more after all the preparations to move of the last couple of weeks or so which look to be continuing for a while yet...

 >:DGiinger

Don't forget that there will also be space for Boardgames a long side the Magic.

  >:DGinger

Again I did not get down to a session, this time because I was let down by my Sunday cover I dont mind if I dont get cover I just like to know  +:cussing=+::cussing:

 >:DGinger

I was just wondering how the non Magic side of this went?

 >:DGinger

Is there a Sunday session this weekend (12th May)?

I assume so, but thought I should check bearing in mind the stress levels likely from having moved shop, as well as the close proximity to B&P the following weekend...

I believe there is a Monthly Gaming session this Sunday, I will confirm with Phil on Wednesday and post an update here.

I thought Phil mentioned it last night at the Burton Bridge but to be honest I was so tired it was all a bit of a blur apart form Martin throwing his pint at me  :o


 >:DGinger

He Did mention it at the pub I think but I was so damn tired and the beers went down to well that I really don't remember precisely enough to make comment  +:beer=+::beer:

Saw Phil tonight but forgot to ask him too knackered & busy geting the last of the shop moved

 >:DGinger

Updates on the Spirit Games (http://www.spiritgames.co.uk) site have the Monthly gaming as going on this Sunday May 12th.

Have now updated the Calendar

A small warning when I spoke to Phil yesterday this was reported as being double booked this coming Sunday.  So the plan is to use the Pool room if we get a small attendance or to return to the shop should we get a larger one.


 >:DGinger

** UPDATE **
Looks like the Talbot has been double-booked so the current plan, I believe, is to move gaming to the Shop for this Sunday.

Things should kick-off at 12.00 (ish) as normal, if there are any further updates they will be posted here by myself or Evilginger.

** UPDATE **

Ok will do but so far nothing additional to report.

 >:DGinger

Official Notice on the Spirit Games website.

Seeya all at the Shop tomorrow!.

I will be there from mid day & should be bringing X-wing & possibly Mage Knight

I just need to sort out the stuff into the new boxes I bought this morning - Black really useful boxes rather cool

Next Gaming Session 9th June

Beer, soft drinks, tea, coffee and sandwiches will be available all day and there is a Chinese Take-Away opposite.

 >:DGinger

Well speaking to Phil at the shop on Saturday, looks like plans are to abandon the Talbot in favour of moving this event into the shop itself.

This is mainly due to numbers and that the venue lighting is not as good as it could be, the Tea/Coffee and food option have become non-existent and the shop is just better suited all round.

So from the next event 14th July 2013 this will be held at Spirit Games (http://www.spiritgames.co.uk):

102 High Street,
Burton on Trent,
DE14 1LJ

See you all there....

I will definitely be there the beer will be better as well.

Monthly Gaming Now at the Shop 2nd Sunday of every month
By Sally

Next Date: 14th July
As we are now settled into the new premises and have a lot more gaming space, we are moving our monthly Sunday gaming from the Talbot to the shop, which has the advantage of our games library on site. The Burton Bridge Brewery is just over the road for those who want a pint with their game, tea and coffee are free at the shop and Aldi and Family Bargains are close by for those who want snacks.

Parking at the supermarket is still restricted on Sundays and the council car parks still charge, but there is plenty of legal on road parking and other good alternatives nearby, ask for advice.

This is good as I never could seem to make it to the Talbot after the first time I am proposing to run some Dux Fantastica at the shop if any one is interested the new wargames room would be perfect....

Even if my figures are not yet painted


I will also bring my X-wing stuff down

Opening at 11 as I need to make sure I have space to have a game of X-wing

 >:DGinger

Played Nations lost horribly but I still like the game I need to practice a bit more I fear. It is however a viscus game and its easy to be drawn into side issues and miss stuff that is in the end rather important


Played trains which is very much a train based version of Dominion with the added tactical element you actually having to build stuff on a board - which I also lost horribly & need far more practice on.


Played X-wing which I won and also should play a lot more often as its been a year nearly since my ships saw action. I cant remember what else I played   however I had a great deal of fun in some good company.

Will defiantly be along to the next one & as before more than happy to open up for the early birds

 >:DGinger

I had my first game of Fierfly at Spirit Yesterday & it was brilliant fun very evocative of the series and its setting if a bit long though that was the players fault to be honest had we concentrated on the game and its goals, rather than luxuriating in the 'verse  we would have been done near to the quoted time. If your a fire fly fan get a copy and honestly wallow in it as much as play it.

I also played 7 Wonders, Tsuro twice & had and Power Grid in which for a change I did quite well even if I did lose and I did only get home just before midnight

I hope every one else had at least half as much fun

 >:DGinger

looking forward to this one as I am planing on doing a Pathfinder RPG demo for some new players

 >:DGinger

No pathfinder RPG Demo...

But did get a game of King of Tokyo - always fun and to try Wizards of the Coasts Dungeon Command which was a lot more fun than I had expected and nothing like I expected. I had expected a rehash of D&D minis but it was nothing of the sort, the game being a dice less system with two card decks one of creatures and one of orders, which also included spells and special abilities. Very well done with good components and some nice models pre painted with a good if basic standard which would tart up rather well in the hands of a good painter. I rather want a set or two myself and will certainly be singing its virtues in the shop at every opportunity.
