Hello Deb. Just come on out and we will get you situated.
No need to bring a game unless you want to. See you tonight.

I feel like I've been shot in the back right before I inadvertently walked off a conveyor belt into a deep pit. I think that's a sign that I should be playing Robo Rally tonight. Sign me up.

At Prariecon (Brandon, MB) I played a live action version of Roborally. It totally took this game to the next level. Super fun complete with little light guns for lasers... haha

Robo Rally was a blast! Definitely going to have to check it out again sometime. That one conveyer belt claimed so many innocent robo-souls. Oh, and poor twitch, he spent so much time spinning around in those double lasers, unable to avoid fate's cruel hand. ~sniff~

Tyler - you probably didn't know this.. but Richard Garfield originally pitched Roborally to Wizards of the Coast... he was declined and told to come up with a card based game.. He had already been tinkering with Magic before then... in the end he gave them Magic and then later they also produced Roborally. Sometimes life works in funny strange ways.

Glad you enjoyed it.

I am going to try to bring this out every once in awhile to ChewsDay Challenge events. There is so much variety with the map boards and scenarios that it will be fun to explore the game.

Michael - I didn't know that, that's really interesting. Now if only I could get rich and powerful so I can produce some of my zany ideas... like... beef... stew. Huh.

Matt - sounds good. I need to redeem myself!
