Is the posted Adventures release date of April 8 an accurate announcement of the current plans?

I don't have any more information than you. My reasoning would be, why would Jay put up that date now without expecting it to be accurate?

I think he may be asking because the same page is displaying a March 31 release date for Temporum.

It's easy enough to repeat here: That was a 2nd printing date, put up when Temporum was already out. Yes it's mislabeled as a release date. I don't know if Temporum's 2nd printing will actually make that date.

When do you typically get more information than us? I assume you do before the actual release, because you know when to start giving previews.

If a few of us from the forum showed up at your house suddenly without announcement, would you call the cops on us, or could we play board games?

At my house might be too scary, who are these stalkers. If you show up at a public place where I play board games then I will play with you, provided my table isn't full already.

I typically never have more information than you. I read about the release date on BGG. If it gets changed, I read about that on BGG.

I would call the cops. People just showing up at your house is frightening.
YBut hey, at least he wouldn't pull out a rifle and shout "Get off my lawn, you punks!"

SEE!
I told you it was a bad idea and that we should just rent the house opposite, accidently bump into him, ingratiate ourselves into his confidence and THEN reveal ourselves as Forumites

It's no good. None of those houses are available.

[silvern]

You could just do it at Wandering Winder's place, cuz, you know, he's everyone.

(I guess he'd probably know it's coming though, for the same reason)

[SwitchedFromStarcraft]

It's not that he is everyone, it's that we are all him.

ZOMG my new mission in life is to make this happen. I could get a selfie with DXV! Maybe get him to autograph my Steward randomizer or my Dominion Box!

SQUEEEE!!!!!!

Instead of finding a random public place, why not try Origins or GenCon? I bet Donald would even let you know if he would be there...

Maybe it's just an implication. You know, like "Any Dromedary is a Camel, but not every Camel is a Dromedary."

[qmech]

Who knows what the meaning of "is" is?

It should be the Knights randomizer.

No, Explorer.  Then he'd write "They can't all be the best game designer ever"

[AdamH]

The more I think about it, the more I would want an autograph on the Dominion box, then I could use the wood-burning tool to burn it in and make it go with the design that's already on there. That would be SO COOL!!!!

My favorite song title from that Sufjan Stevens album is "They Are Night Zombies!! They Are Neighbors!! They Have Come Back from the Dead!! Ahhhh!"

God, why don't you marry him already?

All forumites are Wandering Winters, but not all Wandering Winters are forumites.

Or, something.

Dear Dr Vaccarino,

Lately I've noticed that I like talking about board games, reading about board games and arguing about board games much more than I like actually playing board games. What is wrong with me?

It's not uncommon to find your game life missing a little spice as you get older. Here are some handy tips to help you out in the game room.

- Put on mood music. Perhaps the Queen album The Game, or something from Game Theory.
- Wear a special outfit. You could dress up like that guy from Monopoly, or a meeple.
- Get scented dice.
- You can make a game out of playing a game. Whoever wins the game, wins the game.
- Try playing games in public. It can be a real rush.
- Try unusual positions. In a game of Chess, group all of your pieces on the right side of the board. See where it leads you.
- Incorporate food into the action. Use gummi bears for meeples, or play Dominion using slices of cheese, drawn on with food coloring.
- Take a bath first. Man. I wasn't going to say anything but really. You don't have to fit a stereotype to be a gamer.
- Roleplay. "I go to my village... I visit the smithy..."
- Videotape yourself playing. Then you can put it online later as a podcast.
