Port Angeles, Washington

[susandwyer]

Anyone? Anyone?

Buller?

[Savinien]

OMFG! Anyone that doesn't leap at the chance to game with Susan and Keith Curtis is a FOOL!

He's the greatest GM ever. He is a great artist and you just KNOW the maps will be beyond awesome!!

[Greywind]

That's all well and good for people on the left side. How about coming this way and running a game Susan? :p

[Cancer]

I can get to Port A, though it's out of my way. If we were at my mother-in-law's place in Port Townsend, that's easier.

[keithcurtis]

Your location seems to indicate a lovely (and apt) chunk of sky. Where are you terrestrially-speaking?

Sorry, I've spilt that enough times I thought it was common knowledge. I'm in Seattle.

[susandwyer]

We come "home" evey summer for the family reunion.


(I'm a Jersey girl):D

Visit your mother every weekend starting in August!

[Outsider]

What day/time were you planning on?

Port Angeles is a ways out for me, and I work starting at midnight Tuesday-Saturday/Wednesday-Sunday, depending on how you look at it.

On the up side, if the time works out, I suppose Cancer and I could carpool...

[Savinien]

Looks like a cool group of cats you're accumulating...

I'm curious to hear if they'll be adventuring in TSE, or something else.

[susandwyer]

To get a good group together? We'd work around schedules. We're very excited about the move but it makes up both physically sick to think about leaving a group we've been gaming with for 20+ years.
:C

[HewhoisMatt]

Oddly enough I have friends who moved there a few years back and have been trying to get me to move there for a while now. The only thing stopping me is finding a job up there.

[keithcurtis]

Do they game? Hero?

Keith "Mr. Nosey" Curtis

[HewhoisMatt]

Not really but if ya help me find a job I'll move up there.

[Killer Shrike]

Ill be there in spirit. Game on!

[susandwyer]

Ill be there in spirit. Game on!
Spirit Hero? We don't have that book...:P

[susandwyer]

So this inquiry is for a game starting in August?

[susandwyer]

We're moving in June...
We're very excited about the move. All except for the part where we have to leave the people we've gamed with for more than 20 years. Port Angeles is rather small and the prospect of finding gamers, especially Hero gamers is not too good. That's one of the hard parts about the move.

[Outsider]

Well, a good game in august is still something to look forward to. I've been too long without actually playing HERO.

If you dont mind me asking, why Port Angeles?

[gewing]

good luck!

back in my single days I drove across the state every two weeks one summer to game in Seattle.

With a baby on the way, there is no way in Heck it would work.

Might be able to make a one shot and crash on Outsider's couch...

Not like I have EVER done that before!

;)

Hey Kurt, you had better start putting your notes for your world back together!

[HewhoisMatt]

Doing What?

I have been looking into Animal Control as of late. I need to work out side and move around. I am not a work inside kinda person. I heard about a Trail Manager job in the area a while back but I responded to late.

[susandwyer]

Well, a good game in august is still something to look forward to. I've been too long without actually playing HERO.

An amazing house to buy. So, you'll come?

[Cancer]

I can't make any promises this far out, obviously, but like I said before, it's not impossible. We'll see how it looks like as the time approaches.

[The Monster]

Another good place to look for contacts might be Metro Seattle Gamers, the org that runs the local con, Dragonflight (www.dragonflght.org). It's right in the heart of Seattle (well, the con moved to Bellevue last year, but it's the same in relation to PA), but might have subscribers who are closer. The con's in August.

There are also gamers in Vancouver, BC, just a ferry ride away, though I only know a couple personally and don't know the scene there at all.

We - our whole family of me, wife, and 13-yr-old son - are all gamers, and it's just possible we could make a trip out sometime (BTW, Cancer is my brother, so we might even make a double-family trip out of it).

[Outsider]

An amazing house to buy. So, you'll come?

Yes :)


Edit :
Unless I get hit by a meteor, or something...




Edit #2 :
Is the campaign that will be run in an already established setting that has a prospectus already prepared? If so, send it to me via the email I am going to PM to you!

[susandwyer]

That's one, any other takers?

[Nevenall]

Welcome to the neigborhood! :thumbup:

I would come, but I get the flu whenever I visit the Olympic Peninsula. :dyn

[susandwyer]

That would be a reason not to come!









Why do you get the flu when you visit the Olympic Peninsula?

[Nevenall]

Well, actually it's when I go to the National? Forest there and it's only happened twice, but both times it was violent enough to make an impression. I think it's either a coincidence or an Indian curse. Can't imagine anything in between.

[susandwyer]

Kewl! You're cursed!
How many points is that worth? :D

[Nevenall]

Just enough to pay for the Wealth it takes to support my Espresso Addiction.
:)

[i3ullseye]

Well, there are a few of us over on the other side of the state. If you want to car pool over to Spokane I am sure we can find soemthing to do. But as I drove across state for VS Tourneys to the point of burnout... and that was only one a month or so, it is not a prospect I encourage anyone to consider.

If ever I am staying with my in-laws in Olympia, I may just log on here and see if there is any room for an extra scrub in anything you guys got going on.

[keithcurtis]

That might have been an option four years ago, but now we have a little girl to consider. I think we'll unfortunately have to be the home base.

Keith "Adjusting to Isolation" Curtis

[lapsedgamer]

Too bad you guys are a ferry ride plus away. I see the Seattle/Tacoma thread died too. I wish you luck. Maybe you will post a lot, and I can enjoy the gaming vicariously.

[susandwyer]

Ferries are nice. You could grow to love them! It's a great game! Shouldn't be missed...

[Cancer]

As next summer draws closer, I'll pick this up again. What with kids, Port A is out of our normal range, even though our house is only 10 minutes from the Edmonds ferry terminal. But we usually spend 1 week every summer in Port Townsend, and the Port A - Port T distance is manageable.

You guys definitely have to spend at least a day exploring Fort Worden, right next to Port T, a big old circa 1900 US Coastal Artillery fort. The guns are long gone, but approximately everything else is still there. It'd be a helluva place for a live-action game of some sort. They sell maps of the place that are absolutely prime game setting materials ... they're copyrighted, so I haven't had one scanned and uploaded here.

[keithcurtis]

We stayed a week at Tongue Point years ago. We always managed to get back after gate close and would have to walk back through the park to get to our tent trailer. We took a wrong turn in the dark one night and wound up walking through one of the old gun emplacements. Extremely creepy at night with no one around, especially if you had no idea it was there or what it was (flashlights don't revel much).

Keith "Way cool adventure" Curtis

[Short Shot]

There is a small group in Puyallup, which would cut your drive to only 3 hours! I'm actually commuting to it from Bremerton, which is only about a 40 minute drive, and I believe about two and a half from Port Angeles.

[susandwyer]

Actually, we have to host. We have a 4 year old. Any other takers?

[Cancer]

As I've said before: We live in Seattle, but only about 15 minutes from the Edmonds ferry terminal. Even so, Port A is too long a haul for a regular engagement :(. But given that we spend some time each year at my mother-in-law's place in Port Townsend, which is roughly an hour from Port Angeles, special-event games when that happens are a real possibility. When you're settled there and we know our travel schedule better, we can swap PMs and see if we can hammer out an engagement :). Both I and my wife game, and with luck, the 9- and 10- year olds will be doing it by then too (the first session is tomorrow night :eek:).

[ultrium]

I just move to Bellevue. I drove through Port Angeles sight seeing a couple of weeks ago. It is not that long of a drive. I could drive to Port Angeles once in a while to play.

[korovan]

I live in Seattle.... but if I can catch a ride with someone out to PA I'll gladly kick in for gas.

BTW, my first post here...

[susandwyer]

Welcome to posting. We're deep into the planning for the move. We'll probably be looking to put a group together in July or August.

[korovan]

Errrr... do any of the people already in and around Seattle have room in their group for one more? Or (wacky thought) maybe we shoud all get together and make a new group NOW instead of waiting til the summer?

[Lemurion]

It might be a bit funny going through customs to game-- but I'm in Victoria and the Coho ferry does run daily.

[susandwyer]

It's even cheap and regular!

I have a jeep and can drive you if you want me to.

I have a passport I could goto Victoria. If we have a game there.

[korovan]

Thanks for the offer, Ultrium: I appreciate it and will take you up on it later if the PA group coalesces.

In the meantime, is there any interest in starting a group here in Seattle: for those (like me and Ultrium) who are here-or-near already or who don't mind driving in? I could even host at my home/office on a Sunday maybe?

Somebody needs to put on a leader hat and pick a time and venue. With one of you in Bellevue and 520 closed this weekend, maybe we do it during the week (I work in Redmond), or wait until next weekend. Thoughts?

We can not meet at my place. It is too small. korovan does not have a car. We need to meet somewhere convenient for him or else give him a ride. So if we meet at your place I could take him there. If we meet at his place I could take you if you need a ride. As of 520 being closed, I90 is still open. We could still meet this weekend. I work at Redmond also maybe just you and I can meet after work.

OK, how about meeting next Sunday (3/5) afternoon (1:00 PM?), in Seattle at Vivace's coffee shop (Broadway/Denny: Capitol Hill). Who's up for that?

[Outsider]

That's close to where I live (U District)... mind if I drop in, if the meeting is a go?

[korovan]

I certainly don't mind... and hope fully between now and Sunday we can get a couple other people interested as well...

The more the merrier.

This sounds good to me. Lets start an email thread to discuss preliminary options. My email is tunglashr@gmail.com.

[korovan]

My email is korovan@hotmail.com ... but we should also keep the "general public" informed here on this thread in case anyone else wants to join in at the last minute...

[lapsedgamer]

I would be up to come to the general meeting at Vivace, if it would not be an imposition. I cannot go to Port Angeles, but I wouldn't mind hearing about anything going on in the Seattle area for future reference. I live in Federal Way now, but I'm thinking about coming back to the city next year.

[korovan]

Right, that's it. The corner has a US Bank, a Jack In The Box, and a Post Office. The entrance to Vivace is on Denny accross the street from Jack's, at the top of a cement ramp.

I'll be the sinister looking guy in the black leather trenchcoat, with a beard. Who all else is planning to make it tomorrow (Sunday, at 1pm)?

Im going to be there. Im terrible at driving downtown for some reason, so I might be a little late. Whats the parking like?

I know two other players, but neither can make it this weekend. I have a decent idea of what they are interested in playing.

For identity verification purposes, Ill have a black jacket as well, and I dont drink coffee so Ill be looking around like a doofus trying to find everyone else.

[korovan]

OK, today's get together came up a bust. I was there at 1PM and hung out til a little after 1:30.... I assume various and sundry people had things come up. Oh well, I only live a few blocks away.

Wanna try again next weekend?

There is no Vivace's at Broadway and Denny. I walked 2 blocks both directions to be sure. Email me, maybe we can salvage this today.

[ultrium]

I did not see it either. There was a jack and box on NE corner, post office on the NW, US bank on the SE corner, and a white building with a Kinko's and a Indian restaurant SW corner. There was no place to park. I drove several times up and down Denny and I saw nothing.

I found parking in front of that Indian restaurant, but I dont think this is a good location. If we are married to the Capitol Hill area, we should meet at the Stabucks on Olive (I think) a few blocks from there. Its a major one in an easy to find location.

I agree with you. I thought Broadway/Denny was a horrible location to meet.

[korovan]

I agree with you. I thought Broadway/Denny was a horrible location to meet.

Sorry. I wish people had spoken up: we could have picked another place. I chose it initially because it is close to my home. BTW: the Vivace entrance is on Denny, behind the US Bank, directly across the street from Jack In The Box. Just in case anyone else wants to find it for some reason...

So, somebody mentioned the Starbuck's on Olive. That would suit me. Or, soes anyone have other good ideas?

I think if we choose to do the Starbucks or anything, we should exchange cell numbers in email. This might curtail the idiocy we perpetuated last weekend. In any case, lets get this party started.

[CorPse]

Hey Guys, I hope both the PA group and the Seattle group that formed on the thread post some updates... I'm moving to Seattle in the summer and would love to find a good regular group...

Best of luck to all,

cP

[CorPse]

If anyone's game... there's a thread in the Conventions group where a guy is requesting someone run Hero at Norwescon (http://www.norwescon.org/) (April 13th-16th).

Anybody willing to go for it?

[lapsedgamer]

Did we sort out a new meeting place in Seattle this weekend?

[ultrium]

Did we sort out a new meeting place in Seattle this weekend?

not yet. There has been a suggestion that we meet at a Starbucks near the first location. I do not know the exact location becasue I did not see it last weekend.

[lapsedgamer]

I'll check back tomorrow.

[korovan]

OK, I'll be at the Starbuck's on Olive at 1PM tommorrow: Black leather coat and Strongbad T-shirt. Who else?

Remember that Olive can be a little tricky. The street you want is called East John east of Broadway, but becomes Olive on the west side of Broadway. The Starbucks is just a few blocks west of Broadway.

[lapsedgamer]

Looks like I missed it. I didn't see the late night posts. Did it go well?

[tunglashr]

Well depends on how you define well. Somehow I got elected to run a star hero game (I think we used the tried and true 1-2-3 not it! method). If you wish to participate, email me. We are meeting next weekend again to make characters.

That is, of course, unless you want to take the reigns and run a game...hehe

[lapsedgamer]

I'm still on the fence about getting back into gaming. also, I don't know the rules well enough to run a game anymore. I'll keep checking back, as Star Hero is not normally my thing.

[ultrium]

What is your thing?

[lapsedgamer]

I like supers mostly. I'm a big fan of Bronze/Tarnished Silver Age stuff. My favorite game when I was still playing was a 4th Edition Dark Champions game I ran/played in back in the early 90s. We were a loose cabal of costumed vigilantes who got together to handle problems in the Champions Universe. We were sort of a cross between Heroes for Hire and The Defenders. I played a guy called Iron Knight. He was outfitted sort of like a mounted knight, but with modern materials and a motorcycle.

I would do a more traditonal Teen Titans/X-Men/Avengers thing too.

If I were to run something again. I would most likely do a modern fantasy game in the style the Sandman comics, with big helpings of the X-files, Unknown Armies and Call of Cthulu (Delta Green) thrown in. I probably will never run a game though because work would always get in the way.

There is talk of an alternate sessions of playing supers, but nothing is decide yet.

[HewhoisMatt]

Well folks it looks like I will be moving there at the end of may as my truck has been stolen, my lease will be up, and I have been offered a job up there as a diver. If that does not add up to God telling me to get the hell out of Dodge then I don't know what does (still waiting for one of the bushes to catch on fire). I will have wheels once I get there so I can drive a bit for games.

[HewhoisMatt]

Heeeellllllooooo. Anyone home? Don't tell me that now that I am moving up there ya'll have dropped off the face of the earth.

[keithcurtis]

We're still here and still moving. (paradoxical as that sounds). The house is on the market and we are due to move the middle of next month.

Keith "in transit" Curtis

[HewhoisMatt]

Where too dare I ask?

[korovan]

No, we are here. Several of us are gaming pretty regularly on Sunday afternoons now. The problem would be that we are already it bit crowded in the tiny space we have... we'd have to find another place to meet if we wanted add players. Bu, maybe we could do that....

[keithcurtis]

Where too dare I ask?
Eh, Port Angeles, Washington?

Keith "Like the title ;)" Curtis

[HewhoisMatt]

Okay folk I told my company I would do one last two week gig for them so I should be in Port Angeles by mid-june. Even if there is no room in the games you have now ,I would still like to meet Ya'll as I will be new to the area. New friends are always a good thing I find. I also fight in the SCA, play paintball, do anything outdoors, and will be working as a diver on the off chance any of that interests you. I am also looking for someone to teach me how to play Mandolin on the off chance you guys know someone.

My e-mail is hewhosleeps@yahoo.com (read to much lovecraft late at night and you end up with a e-mail that sounds like you are a narcoleptic).

[keithcurtis]

I wish I could be in PA by mid-June. The housing market in Fresno is not doing well and we have been delayed. July is looking more likely now. And yes, I'd like to meet.

Keith "sigh" Curtis

[HewhoisMatt]

Well I am sorry to say my date to get there has been pushed back a great deal ( at least a couple months) as I got a offer for a project in the south east and between the money and the chance to ply my trade in a new place it was to good to pass up. I will be getting there sooner or later just not as soon as I thought, and I still look forward to meeting all of you.

[keithcurtis]

It's cool. We'll meet up eventually. We are leaving the 12 of July, house sold or not.

Well I will be leaving Hattiesburg MS in a couple days and heading west to Vegas. Once in Vegas I will grab a few things out of storage, hug a few people, take care of some things and then headed north getting to Port Angeles no later than the 11th.

Who's running the game and where?

[susandwyer]

Don't know but I'll be happy to see you!

[CorPse]

Hey Gang,

It's been awhile since I visited the thread.

But a trip and a banged up rental car later, my fiancee and I will be moving into our place on Capitol Hill in Seattle around Sept. 1st. Just wanted to get an update on how the Port Angeles Mob is fairing...

Seattle just blew me away after 4 years in LA, PA must be a nice switch from Fresno?

Love to get an update on your moving/selling progress.

And I'm guessing it's too much to expect to meet you guys at GENCON?

[susandwyer]

Moving is great, selling not so good. We've still got a lovely house on the market in Fresno. Here's hoping for some action soon. Here is beautiful but we don't have a game going yet. I met a Magic and WoW player yesterday. It made me wish for the secret gamer handshake! Hope to hear you're here!

[Lemurion]

Good luck and I hope you can manage a game sometime soon. It might even be worth taking the Coho for :)

[CorPse]

Hey Lem,

Didn't realize you were in Victoria... I'm thinking of going to the Con in Victoria that happens in October (can't remember the name)... is it worth a visit? Any advice on what method from Seattle would be the least expensive?

Thanks!

[susandwyer]

Yeah, take the Edmonds/Kingston ferry, drive to Port Angeles, game with us, take the Coho ferry to Victoria!

[Lemurion]

What susandwyer said about getting here. Port Angeles is the easiest way (my brother lives in Seattle so it's something I have to know).

I haven't been to a game con at UVic for a good 15-20 years but as I shouldn't be too busy I may try to catch it this year.

[HewhoisMatt]

I'm here, I'm here and good lord it's chilly.

[Lemurion]

Chilly? I'm just across the water in Victoria and it's fine here.

[susandwyer]

Chilly for those of us used to desert.

Hey Matt, it was nice to see you! Maybe we'll have a gaming group soon!

[CorPse]

Chilly for those of us used to desert.

After 4 years in the San Fernando Valley (not to mention growing up in the humidity of middle Georgia) I'm looking forward to the temperate rainforest for a few years.

See you Port Angelinos soon!

I went through Port Angeles yesterday when I was driving around site seeing. Port Angeles seems to be a nice town. It is next to the ocean on one side and it haves the Olympic Mountains on the other side. It is a small town, but it is large enough to have any stores that you would need.
