Right now shooting for early December.

Thinking more of an day trip this time so if people come from further they aren’t driving 2+ hrs for just dinner.

Thinking a Saturday and start at like 3pm. until ???. You know the best events are until ??? so its a guaranteed good time! Don’t forget to bring 2 bottles of wine to make sure it is (I hope he has a good sense of humor).

Let me know if there are specific dates people can’t make.

[Deza]

The 16th is the only day I probably couldn't make it but otherwise I'm in (probably)!

[Mogonis]

If they still have this game, prepare to get WRECKED. It's my jam.

Ahh the 2017 EG Dig of video games! So much effort and so little to show!

Kidding aside I'll totes get shamed versus you on that, never played it

[Mogonis]

I think my high score is over 700. It's been two or three years since I've given it the pleasure of having me play it.

[drauz]

What is that? Looks like a dance dance revolution type game.

[Mogonis]

It is! But you use your hands instead of your feet.

[Ltlprprincess]

Once we hammer down a date, I'll know better if I can attend. I basically just found out that on top of going into season, I am going to be on overnights so day sleep will be precious.

Fixed.

[Ltlprprincess]

Fixed.

Haha

[megadeth]

Day. Drinking.

[0zymandius]

The wife and I are probably a no-go for this. Finals up until and including the 16th, then the weekend after that is XMas eve... um... eve. Anyway, too close to Christmas for a day getaway, unfortunately. Early January would work, though.

[Asile]

Huh, what, how did I miss this? D&B is just down the road from me.

Depending on the exact date, I could make an appearance. January would work better, though, for sure.

[Mogonis]

But January is when winter starts in Richmond! It could be 65 on December 9th!

[drauz]

Dec 9th has been set for the date. If there is enough interest I can set another one up for Feb. and you all can celebrate my birthday!

[Mogonis]

You mean our birthdays!

[drauz]

You mean our birthdays!

FINE!!

You live around where i work? We've probably met and don't realize it!

[Ltlprprincess]

I could do February better than December at this point.

[0zymandius]

Yarp. No go for the wife and I for this round. Drink a few extra for me.

[Asile]

Third on the February birthdays. (Mine happens to be Superbowl Sunday this year. I'm trying to decide what I want to do about it, especially since I'm sure my team won't be playing.)

I have to pass on December 9, unfortunately.

[Asile]

You live around where i work? We've probably met and don't realize it!

"Down the road" more means "down the highway." But I have to drive by the turn for D&B on the way to my gym.
And it's totally possible we passed and had no clue.

[drauz]

Still on for Dec 9th if anyone is interested in coming.

[Deza]

I'll be there! With my kiddo...soooo if you guys could just be prepared with Star Wars facts, that would be great. Also this is perfect if it starts around 3. I think we're gonna go over to Lewis Ginter and see the Christmas lights before heading home. Yaaaay.

midichlorians are the powerhouse of the cell

I am DEFINITELY working that night so 3pm is likely a no go for me. :-( Season means I have no life.

[0zymandius]

Plans seem to be changing on my end, so the wife and I are likely to head down for this. Do we have a consensus on time yet?

[Mogonis]

I know so much about Obi-Wan Picard!

[drauz]

I'll keep it at 3pm unless people would like to go later.

[Deza]

So if we get all the snow that is apparently gonna blanket my area, I may not be able to go. There's a lot of twisty roads that don't get cleared till way later and I'm not risking an adventure day with the kiddo in the car through that shit. :( So I'm bumped down to a maybe. Sorry, y'all.

We need to plan a D & B day for Spring/Summer.

Yeah they are saying 2-4 inches now down 95, so I'll have to see if it comes or not. I wanted to play some arcade games but not enough to drive 2 hrs in snow for it.

[0zymandius]

Agreed, 100%, with this.

I just checked the forecast for us, and they're saying 3-5 inches of wet snow overnight, with ice tomorrow. That's probably not enough to snow us in, but if it's much more than that, it could become problematic.

[Mogonis]

Hmm. Sounds like maybe it'd be best to nix tomorrow?

[0zymandius]

Sorta what I'm thinking, too. I don't know how many people have confirmed, but if it's just those in this thread, well...

The wife and I could probably make it, if the weather is just what they're predicting, but maybe pushing it back to early January would be best for all involved?

[Mogonis]

There's no need to risk snow to hang out. It's dark at 5:00, so I'm more concerned with people heading back when it's dark and snowy, especially if there's sleet.

Richmond's Saturday forecast:


Snow during the morning will give way to lingering snow showers during the afternoon. Some sleet may mix in. High around 35F. Winds N at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of snow 90%. Snow accumulating 1 to 3 inches.

[Mogonis]

It's basically sleeting at my house right now.

[0zymandius]

Updated forecast for us is 4-8 inches, and it's piling on snow right now. I'm gonna go ahead and say we're out for tomorrow, but would love to reschedule for soon after the holidays... Maybe even first week of the new year?

[drauz]

I'm gonna go ahead and say we cancel this. If its already sleeting and almost definitely going to snow I wouldn't feel safe driving at night in those conditions and wouldn't want anyone else to.

[megadeth]

Hopefully we can make this happen when the weather is a more cooperative

[Asile]

Never expect the weather to cooperate in VA during winter. But I'm still up for trying again in January/February.

(If anyone needs to feel better about today being canceled: I'm about 10 minutes east of D&B, and there's a steady snow now. The roads are ok at the moment, but as soon as the sun goes down and temperatures drop, there's going to be a serious black ice issue.)

[Ltlprprincess]

Why haven't we started a DnD group?

[Orthin]

I've always wanted to play DnD but for those who have, how soon could I get my kids involved? What age range to immerse in a life of fun and fantasy and probably ridicule among their peers?
