paulygcon3: pauly3con (17th - 19th November 2017)

Third time's the charm, right?

Two years ago I wrote:

A few people have noted (when out at The Cast Are Dice weekend or similar) that "we could just do this but at someone's house - we've got loads of games we haven't played". So I'm doing it! It's vaguely near my birthday, I've got permission and it's all systems go for paulygcon (blame Lizzy for the name).

[...] Come over and play some games. We've got loads we haven't played and you probably have too! We'll do some food and stuff! Come for some of it or all of it! Let me know if you can make it! Don't make me stubbornly play solitaire Firefly on my own all weekend!

I'm pleased to announce that we're going to do this for a third time on the evening of Friday 17th November and all day on Saturday 18th and Sunday 19th November. Join us for lots of games (with an emphasis on looking through those unplayed piles for those who want to), food, drink and fun. Circle the dates on your SBGC calendar!

Exact timings to be confirmed, but something like 18:00 - 00:00 on the Friday, 12:00 - 00:00 on the Saturday and 12:00 - 21:00 on the Sunday. For those who haven't been before, I live in Greenhill and will PM my address to those who want to come and don't have it. If you think you'll be able to make it then I'd appreciate it if you let me know in this thread so I can work out what to get. Yay!

This sounds like a great idea! How much is a weekend pass? haha unfortunately I can't make it that weekend

Twilight Imperium 4?

I think (for reasons of space and time) that might be better separately (hmmm, if only we had regular TI play sessions...) but I'm not going to stop you! I guess it may well be an unplayed game at that time...

It was more a declaration of my attendance than an actual suggestion. I'm hoping to have photosynethsis by Pauly3con...

So what is the USP of this event?

PaulyG^3? Your face on a dice?

pauly-tree-con with everything tree-themed. Everyone only allowed to play Arboretum and Toc Toc Woodman.

So Photosynthesis will be perfect. Now all I need do is perfect a strange Irish accent?

I'll definately be there for some of it... The friday evening for sure...

I am up for this!
Not sure I have any tree themed games. Other than squirrel rush. But it's not that great!

So if we are running with the Tree theme this would be my suggestions:

Settlers of Catan - Obvious wood for sheep jokes
Kodama - the TREE spirits
Photosynthesis - Tree based strategy game
Agricola Farmer of the Moor - you have to fell trees to build a farm?
Broomservice - Brooms are made of wood?
Small World - Woodland regions?
Click Clack Lumberjack - Obvious
Coconuts - they grow on trees...
Flick em up Red Rock Tomahawk - had woodland scenery

I'm sure we don't have to only play tree themed games

You don't have to, but he's obviously having so much fun listing them that maybe we should make Aneurin only play them... ;-)

Sounds like a plan

Are we getting a Tree-based logo this year Kes?

+1 to this request :-D

A wise old Ent with Pauls face?

YES I WILL ATTEND

I will make an appearance at some point, but once again it clashes with Harriet's Birthday (strange how that keeps happening!)

Would love to but there is a chance S and I will be in Devon that weekend - shall confirm ASAP

Yeah I'll get to the logo at some point

This is the weekend before I get married so I'd like to come but might not be able to.

Potential stag do?

I will definitely be there for some of it, as much as I can.
