See you on the battlefield!

I am just starting to get into L5R (a little late, I know). I am curious if there are other players out there who would enjoy dusting off their deck(s) and playing a game or two. I also am wondering if there any new players out there that would enjoy learning to play.

Which multiplayer games do you enjoy the most at LAN centers? Are there any we missed on our list?

Hey all. Just wanted to bump my new Meetup group in a couple of online forums just in case there's any gamers in the local area looking to find a gaming group. We're a 21+ group, meet up at Coyote's in Hillsboro once a month (so far) for board gaming, diverse and fun crowd. I usually run my game of choice, and others can feel free to bring something they know well if there's a need for an overflow table. Check it out! https://www.meetup.com/far-west-gaming-academy/

Would love to meet any fellow narrative video game writers in the city. I can't be the only one. Anyone else around?

I've been passionate about the idea of opening a LAN center in Portland for a while now. Having visited many of the great gaming centers of the past, I've seen firsthand what works and what doesn't. As an IT professional, I have the technical skills to set up and maintain a successful LAN center, but I believe that community feedback is crucial in order to create a truly inclusive and engaging space.

I'm excited to discuss with the community and hear your thoughts on what amenities, features, and events would be most appealing to you. I believe that by working together, we can create a hub for gamers and enthusiasts that will not only be a great place to play, but also a community gathering place that fosters connections and builds lasting relationships.

I envision my LAN center to have 30 high-performance computers, with 10 of them dedicated to five-on-five game matches. I also plan to have at least one VR area, with the possibility of adding a second if there is enough demand for multiplayer VR games. While I am undecided on having consoles at this time, I do plan on having an area for viewing parties of esports tournaments and doubles as board games area.

Originally, I was considering catering to adults only and serving beer, but I believe that this may limit the potential customer base. I plan on having a variety of food and drinks available on site, but I have not yet decided on the specific offerings.

If all goes according to plan, I hope to open in 2024, which will give me ample time to thoroughly plan and prepare for a successful launch.

I'm looking forward to hearing from you all and I appreciate your support in this venture.

I’m working toward a platinum trophy and perfection on my farm. I would like to have a celebration- think public place get together. I will definitely dress in something inspired by the game but to each their own. Currently imagining a pizza establishment for said get together.

I'm based in Portland and have been playing a play-by-email game called TribeNet for the past five years. It's been a tremendous amount of fun and I thought I would share a note about it here.

TribeNet is an open-ended, multiplayer, turn-based, play-by-email, civilization-building game. You begin the game as the leader of a nomadic Clan wandering in the wilderness. Over time, your Clan will advance to form an empire, managing cities, trade routes, envoys, and armies.

For people who like video games such as Civilization and epic board games, this may appeal to you.

One of the great things about a play-by-email game like this is that you can work on it in your free time. Your orders are due every two weeks.

There's 75 players at present, but I'm the only one based in Portland. I hope to change that. The GM is based in Melbourne, Australia.

Like clockwork, three months out of warranty, all four controllers have stick drift, broken triggers or keyboard issues. I swear I'm not that rough with them, just cozy games and bad luck :(

Is there anywhere that would do controller repair in the area? I've seen plenty of console repair but not sure controllers would be worth a repair stores time, even though they're like $70 a piece.
