The last couple of months have been very, very hectic and ... not so great. The good news is that most of the contractors are out of the house and we hope to be listing it soon. We MAY be able to host a game or two here and there. Stay tuned.
Our holidays were very subdued this year, so gaming has been at a minimum as a whole. We ended up skipping Barrage, Fall-In, and a Baltimore area Lard America day to focus on the house and family. We've also missed hosting games and seeing our friends at DAWG. We haven't been completely idle, though, when it comes to gaming...
Boardgames
When our daughter visits, Tim and she have been playing a LOT of Terraforming Mars. They picked up the expansion for a Christmas gift. We've also been playing a lot of Betrayal at Baldur's Gate (the Baldur's Gate edition of Betrayal at House on the Hill) as a family. We introduced our son's friend to it and had so 
much fun! We much prefer the Baldur's Gate edition, as they took some of the things we didn't like in the original game and fixed them. Some of the scenarios are still a little unbalanced, but overall, it's much better. We've also been playing Settler's of Catan (always good to go back to the basics).Miniatures
We have been to a few of the Delaware Area Wargaming Group (DAWG) events and, as always, they measure up to a great time! We also went to "A Bridge Too Lard" in the fall and had a blast. We even ended the evening with a curry, in true Lardie fashion.
Tim has been vigilantly painting his 28mm Saxons for dark ages skirmish games. Once Wendy finishes her Vikings, we have a lot of rules sets ready and waiting!
World Famous!
Did you know that Tim and Wendy are now World Famous??? We were fortunate enough to be interviewed at Historicon this past summer for the Too Fat Lardies Oddcast. You can hear the interview at https://toofatlardies.libsyn.com/toofatlardies-oddcast-22. We start at approximately 035:40.
Slightly Off-Topic
Future Gaming
We are looking forward to some future events:
- Friday, January 17th - DAWG is running What a Tanker! by Too Fat Lardies. If you're interested, please let Jim know ASAP by going to their Facebook Group and messaging him.
- March 12th - 15th - Cold Wars will be held at the Wyndham Lancaster Resort and Convention Center. From the outside, it looks like Wyndham may have actually done the place up right. The PEL is supposed to go out today and online registration is to open January 27th.
- May 2nd - Pickett's Lard II in Gettysburg (or... Littlestown, PA). Details are still coming in for that. If you're interested, keep checking out the calendar on here... I'll update it as I get more information.
That wraps up our long overdue update. Keep checking in - we really hope to host an event in February, if not at the house, then at some other location TBD. Don't forget to tell us about your own game days so that we can add them to the calendar.
Happy Gaming!
