DevLAM '17 (UPDATE: Links to four AARs)

[Mad Lord Snapcase]

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but it was definitely an event! Please feel free to move to the correct place if this is not right.

Over the course of the weekend three like-minded LAFers met at Snapcase Hall, Much-Piddling in Devon for a long weekend of gaming and drinking socialising. A superb time and some really great games. As the AARs are not yet written (and will appear on the appropriate boards), I am posting a few teaser photos and will add links to this post as the reports appear. In the meantime I would like to thank Doug and John for a really great weekend, I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it (apart from my hang-over this morning!). It was my privilege and an absolute pleasure to game with you both.

Brilliant!
Great looking games.
 

Looks like a proper show at DevLAM.
Great eye candy, chaps, and I look forward to finding the AAR's.

Well done, its great to see another LAF get together.

 The group shot is excellent. What a gang of dangerous looking pistoleers

[Mad Lord Snapcase]

Thanks, Mason and Malamute, they were indeed great games. Even the one where my brave and dedicated lawmen were mercilessly gunned down by a right nasty bunch of outlaws!  

What a gang of dangerous looking pistoleers

More like a dangerous gang of OAPs!  

[Ramirez Noname]

Looks like you boys had a wild time ...

I note the wine bottle label says "grown with care" - I assume it was "drunk with enjoyment"

Splendid. Well done gents. Always good to see another LAM 

[Doug ex-em4]

Doug's empties!

That is a foul slur, Sir...! The one on the left of the second row was definitely not mine...!

This event was brilliant and LAF can take a lot of credit because we only knew each other through this forum. This weekend was the first face-to-face meeting, courtesy of Mad Lord Snapcase's hospitality. By the way, Mad Lord Snapcase's title is almost totally genuine - he is completely mad

Also, my solicitors are even now considering our next move regarding the photoshopping of that old git on the left of the group photo in place of me....

Excellent stuff guys. Good to see you went for the t-shirts too! I do recall Proper Job being pretty decent.

[Hammers]

Proper hats and all! Good on ya!

Certainly was drunk with enjoyment, along with several more!

Always good to see another LAM

Thanks, Captain. Not quite in the same league as BLAM but in the same spirit, LAFers gaming, drinking and having a great time. As Doug said, we only met because of this forum. My wife thought I might be inviting a couple of cannibals to my home as we'd not met before. I believe Doug and Vagabond's nearest and dearest thought they might be visiting the home of an axe-murderer! 

That is a foul slur, Sir...! The one on the left of the second row was definitely not mine...!

True, I have to admit the Icelandic vodka was empty before you arrived! However, I'm still finding empty beer bottles in the kitchen for recycling!

I do recall Proper Job being pretty decent.

Yes, Proper Job is a rather nice beer from the 'Snozzle' brewery. My tipple is the Jail Ale from the Dartmoor Brewery.

Proper hats and all! Good on ya!

Thanks, Hammers. If you want to get ahead, get a hat, and if you want to get a hat, get a head!

[Matakakea]

It looks as though you all had a good day out.
I have personal experience of the Wairau Cove's enjoyabiiity, but I have to admit I don't recognise any of the beers on display there. I feel that I must fill this gap in my knowledge post haste. 

[blacksoilbill]

Looks like loads of fun. Some fine looking games there!

[FifteensAway]

With a little tactical photo-shopping, that group photo would make a proper wanted poster.  Now, who will be the first to post such an image?  Come on, you know you love the idea.  Get to it.

[Eric the Shed]

Well done guys..

.are you going to make this bigger next year?

[Michi]

Great fun to look at and read, although I always thought you'd prefer cream teas and cider in the beautiful south over there...
