[Elfsea] Announcement : Gaming Guild

[Wilim Penbras]

A Backgammon Tournament?  What do I win?  Oh wait, that might sound like a challenge to some people.  It's certainly not meant as a challenge.  At least not a challenge for me. <EG>  Llywelyn, why am I left wondering how well you roll the dice?

Ld Fathead, Esq.

PS - Anybody got a book for me to learn to play backgammon?

>The Gaming Guild will be a time for people to hang out and make new friends across a board from one another.  While we will always be happy to teach, or learn, period games such as Backgammon, Pente or Chess we will also have more modern games such as Kingmaker, The Great Dalmutti and Once Upon a Time available.  Our primary focus is to have fun, with the secondary purpose of teaching period games.

>To start the ball rolling, I will be sponsoring a Backgammon Tournament.  I will be sending more information on this shortly.
