Twitter Week: 2010-01-01

  • @BrenoKummel I think 2030 is worth it, but I also think the original is the leaner & tighter game. 2030 is a considerable change of pace. in reply to BrenoKummel #
  • @scottredracecar: 1830 Wabash is still missing the rules. I have them. They are under-license, interesting and…not trivial. #18xx #
  • @BrenoKummel: I created the 1830-Wabash BGG entry. Bohrer holds the copyright, licensed to Janich, but Bohrer may re-license. #18xx #
  • @jdludlow: In short: Coalfields without the coal or the train-obsolecence, but with a tighter NYC area & a more track-heavy end-game. #18xx #
  • @jdludlow: Like Pere Marquette, JDG’s Simple or Chesapeake Bay Bridge etc, it is an interesting twist, not a fundamentally new game. #18xx #
  • @jdludlow: And what’s missing are the rules, and given my last chat with Bohrer, you ain’t gonna get them unless you buy a copy. #18xx #
  • @scottredracecar: Where are y’all based? LA area IIRC? We’ve talked about making trips down to LA to play #18xx with Vanderpluym etc. #
  • @scottredracecar: Oh, MN. Oh well… #
  • I need a better #linux #twitter client. gwibber, gtwitter, twitux, twit2 aren’t it. #
  • @scottredracecar: Hehn. Always. Can’t live or without ‘em. #
  • @scottredracecar: We’ve also noodled doing a ~quarterly #18xx convention here. Informal, just a weekend. Could be interesting. #
  • @scottredracecar: I grok. I have 30+, poss ~50 local #18xx players, but have to kill to get more than 5-6 in a room at once. #
  • @BrenoKummel #18xx over? Why? in reply to BrenoKummel #
  • @BrenoKummel: Ouch. I forsee a recruiting/evangelism drive! #18xx #
  • Bugger. New Years plan just disintegrated. Blast. Time to scramble. #
