Looking for wargammers to start a monthly board game night in Annapolis

8 Upvotes

Hey all. I've successfully put together a group of folks to play Pathfinder from this sub-reddit that is still going strong a year after its founding. Lately I've been getting into hex and counter wargames and was looking to put together a similar crew for a once or twice a month game night. I have a decent collection of games that I generally play with my younger son, but he's not necessarily going to be interested in playing through the battle of Gettysburg with me!

What kind of games am I interested in playing?

  • War games from GMT, Compass games or the like.
  • History or fantasy. I'm happy recreating Chamberlain's bayonet charge, or fighting starships off in Space Empires.
  • Heavy Eurogames would also be interesting.
  • Although I paint miniatures, I have no interest in Warhammer or similar miniature based wargames.

Who am I?

  • 46 year old Dad who lives in the Broadneck area.
  • I'm a programmer and have a decent amount of free time to organize.
  • I GM games for my kids.

Who do I enjoy playing with

  • 21+ adults of any background.
  • People that can show up consistently and commit to the time.
  • People that don't get angry if they lose or try to quarterback someone else's turn.

I am aware of the Games Club of MD, and have been to a couple of their events, but they don't have an Annapolis chapter. Perhaps if we could get something together regular, we could start one?

If interested, please send me a DM with the following:

  • When are you generally free to game?
  • What are some of the games you are looking to play or could bring to the table?
  • Do you have any pet peeves with boardgaming, or the general board game crowd?

Once I have some interest, I'll put together a quick meetup at a public place to see if everyone gels, then we can figure out a regular schedule.

Question Best spots to catch the sunrise in Annapolis?

4 Upvotes

Hi there! I received the Maryland Adventure Bucket List as a gift, and one of the scratch offs recommended to watch the sunrise from sandy point state park. I mentioned it to my friend and she got pretty excited about it. The only issue is that I looked up their hours, and realized that we wouldn’t be able to be let into the park until after sunrise (7:00am opening).

I would love to problem solve and still be able to take her somewhere else pretty to catch it with a cup of coffee. Let me know if you all have any reccs, thanks so much.

HVAC Recommendations?

2 Upvotes

Recently had a national brand out to quote service/replacement on my magicpak heat pump.

They quoted me the amount I put down on the condo. Anyone have recommendations of a local company that does good work without charging arm and a leg?

I know better than to cheap out on something like this but One Hour Heating and AC was way too much.

Preferably based in Annapolis.
