Gleemax is shutting down. In case you have no idea what Gleemax was, it was Wizards of the Coast's attempt at social networking for gamers. After spending about a year on it, they decided they wanted to focus their online investment in Magic and D&D.

Badge registration opened yesterday, and housing registration opened about 20 minutes ago. I actually managed to get us a room at the Marriott across the street. Register now! If you were there and attended one of our events, let us know what you thought. I'm still debating whether I want to run anything again. The D&D intro session was a lot of fun to run.

I had heard great things about this game, from so many different people, yet up until Christmas I had never played it. Anyway, we ended up buying Apples to Apples for the inlaws, and had a blast playing it.

Visit the Winter War web site - winterwar.prairienet.org for the pre-registration packet and schedule. New this year - order winter war t-shirts online. Check out the web site for more details.

GameStorm is a gaming convention in Vancouver, WA (just across the river from Portland, OR). It has 24 hour gaming and programming, and inside of the larger convention has the Indy Games Hurricane, which is devoted to the promotion and playing of Independently produced games.

MikeIT and I just got back tonight from our daughter PhiPhiBabe's school Family Spirit Night. We decided to try and get our school to participate in the Million Minute Family Challenge. I mentioned in a previous post about how we were going to be organizing a game night for the event. I had no idea what I was getting myself into at the time I volunteered us to co-chair a committee. It required organizing, gathering games, and volunteers. We contacted a few game companies and three responded with generous offers of donated games to our school for the fund raiser.
