I live in right in the heart of Westlake, a western (duh) suburb.

I guess I better build something then. All I have currently put together are
some semi trailers, a full-size bowling pin, and technic-scale AT-ST. I don't
think any of those will work for BrikWars though :)

For me, that's none :) Hopefully we'll have enough gamers that can supply the
wacky 1d10 and 1d20 dice we need.

If we can get enough buildings, a siege or two might be fun. Or we just
free-for-all and see what sorts of alliances may form. If someone has some
nice buildings and/or castles, that'd be a great start. I for one don't have
enough doors/windows to build a self-respecting building, so I probably can't
build a base.

Buildings would be nice, but I don't know if I can build any. I can bring a
few bins of basic bricks if we want to throw something together on the spot.

Keep in mind that I have a 2.5 hour each way trip to make to get to this.
Anything past 8 or so is going to make my getting-home time extremely late. I
wouldn't mind starting before lunch, maybe 10-11 or so. 6-8 hours of gaming
and I can get out of there at a semi-respectable time (unless I call on Uncle
Steve, who lives in Worthington, but I'd rather not)

I've got a couple of bottles of Mountain Dew sitting around that I can bring
along. Sugar and caffeine will be certain to keep the energy level up :)

Yeah, I'm a big kid :)

I will take care of the digital camera (as you mentioned in your addendum)
I am still wondering how much of my collection (or how much of anyone elses
collections) should be brought to the gaming site for last minute building for
scenery. Now that I've sorted my collection out, it's a little easier to
transport, but still might take a while to load into and out of the jeep. I
guess I'll see.
Tiffany mentioned in another message what sort of layout we will use. I'll
bring whatever baseplates (meager as they are) to build a town, if necessary.
For things like mountains and trees, I don't know. Will we have a supply of
books onhand to use to build a mountain if we want?
(you say you're longwinded...get the both of us together, and we could write a
novel!)
