Pumped for 6th ed of 40k, lately I've been shifting my focus over to Warmachine/Hordes. It's more of a skirmish game, but the rules are really tight and the game is a blast to play, not to mention less models to buy/paint. ;D

smallworld is a great game, also pandemic, and a better know catan are also good games

I picked up the expansions for Smallworld at Acen actually. Got 'em for my Student Org. back home.

Warmachine/Hordes

Finally, someone who plays that game here! What faction(s) do you play? I play terribly the boys in blue, the Trollbloods, myself. Do you use Vassal for games? Please say yes, I wanna play a game against something that isn't Cryx.

I have a copy of Arkham Horror lying around which I've played a couple times. It's fun, and is actually not ALL that hard to win at if you have enough people and know what you're doing. I've played Descent twice, which is a D&D themed dungeon crawler, fun as well. Carcassone is great for a light quick game. Lords of Waterdeep is one that I've played recently with my cousins, lots of fun there. Puerto Rico in all of its racist glory is also one of the better tabletop games I've played. Chaos of the Old World was good, too, if we could only play that more than two times. I've heard of Agricola but I don't know anything about it other than that it's resource management or such. Munchkin's obvious. Fluxx is one of the funnier games I have just for the sheer randomness that happens in it. I'm sure there's more that I could talk about if I could remember them all.

I've tried Vassal only once, and that was to play 40k with Whendilin. Not sure if I still have it. As to factions I play I'm sorry to say that I play Cryx, but I also play Circle  ;D

I played the Battletech tabletop at ACEN and had a blast. I kind of want to get into it but I've got a bunch of other things I want/need to buy first.

My dad got me into it, and yeah, its awesome.  I wish I knew when you guys left to go play, I totally would have joined in!

I wish we could have played Twister on the tabletop.

I spend too much money of Warhammer 40k but I'll be damned if I don't love it.
Loving the new Ork Flyer.

I love Warhammer Dark Hersey, 3.5, and Call of Cthulhu. Those are my games. 

I tried Anima once, and quit as soon as I saw how unnecessarily complex the battles were.

My friends and I play D&D (or other RPGs) on Wednesdays.  It's my turn to run and one of our friends recently moved to Virginia, so we've been down a player.  One solution posed to player shortage was to have two of the player play two characters.  For now, it's hilarious watching them talk to themselves.  I'm wondering when the novelty wears off.

I'll only play twister naked.

At0m and I went the day the fire alarm went off. So what was that, Saturday? I played for about 3 hours then was going to go to the zombie panel. Then since the fire alarm went off and I saw that it wasn't going to be a while until the let everybody back in, At0m and I went BACK to the game room to play some more but they were gone. I guess there was a 2nd tabletop focused con up in Palatine or something and they'd gone to that.

Anyone ever play Mage Knight?  I know they don't make it anymore but my dad, my brothers and I played a shit ton of it when it was popular and now have several hundred figures clogging up a closet.

There was a point in a shadowrun campaign I ran this year where I had my players fighting themselves, it was pretty funny.  But yeah, the novelty wears off about a session or two later when both of you get frustrated at having to have every action and piece of dialogue clarified.  It's either that or split the party, and you never split the party.

Hopefully, we can shitcan the excess when we get another player.  The trouble with that is that we've pretty much run out of D&D players that we can tolerate.

I would say post an ad at a gaming store or something.
Then play a session with whomever called, and be the judge of who you want playing in yer group

it'd be kinda cool if we could do a session with everyone over mumble or something. I'd have fun with it, anyway.

That's kind of what I meant.  I know too many regulars around the area and they're all sweaties.  I used to work in a gaming store before I got the job at the credit union.
