Dear players,

Game session.

Well, at long last we played with that Wendigo. I obviously could not predict the creative use of the wildshape ability, but it turned out to be fun.

Gaming day.

Ian and I have now realised that our Wednesday games have been reduced to at most a two hours playtime session. In the olden days, when Vague Connections was but a newly opened small shop, we gathered at half past six for a seven o'clock game; because the shop closed at seven.
Now, with the Yu Gi Oh card business booming, Andrew closes the shop at eight, and can barely be with us by ten past, or even quarter past; thus seriously curtailing our available gaming time. Adam must get his bus around ten, and with my having moved to The Quays, I would rather not propose to extend gaming past ten o'clock anyway.

This leads to the following proposal of finding another weekday for our Wednesday games. First, Ian and I would like to sound the idea of moving to Mondays. Please note that this is only an information gathering exercise. We would need to ask Andrew first before making any final decision.

The move to Monday is proposed for the following reasons:

• The board-game session usually starts around six and in a quiet shop.
• An average board-game play takes two hours. Even Arkham Horror tends to be lost within two hours with midly experienced players (the game is not so slow when we all know how to play it).
• I cannot do Fridays, Saturdays or Sundays.
• Thursdays are alternating one of Nick's games. Nick cannot make Wednesdays because of work, because if he could he would still be playing with us.

We could petition Her Majesty's Government to add an extra weekday and have an eight-day week, but the lazy French would veto it at the EU level. That would also invalidate some of the information contained in the first book of the Holy Bible; in other words we would be opening a very big can of worms.

I think we have had this kind of argument before, when it came to keeping Nick in the gaming group and we ended-up keeping Wednesday as our gaming night. I am not sure if we discussed the Monday option though.

Your thoughts?

Laurent,
