Grind is intriguing, but I don't have it. The 2nd edition rules and new cards and plastic warjack kits and shit all came out this month so that's soaked up my gaming dollars. Aeryk I think you should decide to drive up to SF, stop at a game store, buy three copies of Grind, drive two more miles, suddenly pull into a Target and buy some on sale Hannukkah paper, tape and a scissor, wrap the spare copies, drive to my place, so drunk you smash into a telephone pole two miles down the road, run the rest of the way to my place, while on fire, climb the fire escape, still on fire, smash through the balcony window and present me and Johnny with our gifts. That my friend would be a belated secular Hannukkah present worthy of the Action Team.

But yeah, come up if you're feeling it! Some Combat Commander could be in the cards, some new Space Hulk, maybe a little Vegas Showdown, I dunno. Maybe your proximity would inspire me to finish painting my amazons! Just a wash and highlights and they're pretty much done.

Hey Noric, I think Jon and I are talking about maybe getting together for a bit on saturday for some Gaymen action also, WM most likely. Mike is doing some of his professor stuff. So anyway, if you show, just for enticement, I'll read up on Jon's copy of combat commander (don't know if youre still into THAT game now of your newfound passion for Grind). =)

yay, i was reading up on Paul Volcker and he seems a much better qualified candidate. I like his direction vs. how Tim G is leading us to financial bankruptcy. It may be motivated partly by a political move, but I think even the staunchest politicians are realizing that without regulations we are doomed. Just surprised how late we are reacting to this crisis.

D'oh. I can not partake of festivities this Saturday. I will be at a photo shoot in the AM until probably mid-afternoon and in the evening, washing King Edward's testicles. I may be able to sneak in for a short bit between events, depending on how things transpire in the afternoon.

I have not looked at Grind yet. I will try and peep it this afternoon.

| This Ain't Eric Nies' The Grind!

I think possibly one AT member will be aware of the Eric Nies reference, but I digress.

PLEASE tell me someone in SF owns a copy of Privateer Press' 'Grind' game! I remember Denis posting a note about it some months back, and I looked at it with some interest and excitement, but this morning I have been watching the intro videos and flash tutorial and me wanna play!

FYI, if the deluge lightens up I plan on being in SF this Saturday for some gaymen. Get it? Gamin'/gaymen. See the joke? See, I changed gaming to ACTUALLY say 'Gay Men', which is hilarious because any reference at all to being gay is intrinsically funny.
