DevLAM '17 (UPDATE: Links to four AARs)
« on: November 06, 2017, 02:05:17 PM »
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.

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

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!   :'(

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"  lol

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

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 lol

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.

Certainly was drunk with enjoyment, along with several more!

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!  lol

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!

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

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

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.  :D

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.

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