(...) I for one would avoid putting 'world' or 'global' in the title, as some people were discussing. If the group isn't localized then just don't put a location. You might as well put 'galaxy-wide.' How about "LEGO-Using Gamers' Network," or (...) (22 years ago, 26-Feb-03, to lugnet.gaming)

(...) One thing we need for the Pirate Game is a bunch of cutters, but we'll also need larger ships, mostly lots of class 2 and class 3 ships. Of course cutters are easy to pack, I can get 11 cutters and a few extra bits into two shoe boxes. Frank (22 years ago, 25-Feb-03, to lugnet.gaming)

Hmm, I haven't seen any names that really inspire yet. Some things to consider though: - does it just cover the war type games, or does it cover any brick based game - does it cover official games (such as LEGO Creator) - does it cover computer (...) (22 years ago, 25-Feb-03, to lugnet.gaming)

Hi all, Springing from the discussion about this summer's Gen Con on lugnet.fun.gaming, several people have expressed interest in a non-regional gaming-with-LEGO organization. The initial reason we want to form this group is to have a unified body (...) (22 years ago, 25-Feb-03, to lugnet.gaming, lugnet.org)

Heya folks. If I do take Lego Wars: The Simple Version(1) to GenCon, I will need to rename it before offending the copyright gods. It's slid under the radar so far because it's not very well known, but if it's going to be printed as an event at a (...) (22 years ago, 25-Feb-03, to lugnet.gaming)
