This is Bruce’s big idea, and I couldn’t help but get swept up in his mania. Regular listeners\/readers probably know that it’s not common for Dr. Geryk to get energized in favor of anything post-Reagan, so his recent call for the two of us to conscript friends\/colleagues and the like for a game of the interminable Republic of Rome couldn’t help but energize everyone around him.<\/p>\n
Of course, at the time I was the only one around him.<\/p>\n
If anyone is curious about RoR, please check out Chris Farrell’s brilliant break down of why the game works<\/a>. If you can’t win an Ebay auction for the Avalon Hill version, Valley Games has reprinted it.<\/a> Not sure when it will start shipping.<\/p>\n We’re still organizing a line up for this, but I’m energized by the possibilities here. Our first priority for players will be peers, friends and colleagues we know we can rely on both from past gaming experience and risk of public embarrassment. <\/p>\n The volunteers I have heard from either in personal emails or blog comments are not being forgotten, of course. Every volunteer is appreciated and being added to a list. Even if you don’t make this game session, a successful RoR game means we’ll be doing more of these. And I need more fan service, right?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This is Bruce’s big idea, and I couldn’t help but get swept up in his mania.
