What exactly is BLAM?
« on: September 29, 2011, 06:07:04 PM »
Hello,
I've done a little searching on the forum and haven't come up with the answers... what is BLAM? Something to do with LAF/LAM I suspect, but I haven't found anything about who/what/where/when.

Is it related to SLAM?

Since I'm stuck in the midwestern USA I may have to have a KLAM  :)

BLAM is a gathering of a few LAFers here in England, we get together annually for a weekends gaming.

You should. There's been one SLAM, Swedish Lead Adventures Meet so far but there are more to come. Just what malamute says, a few LAFers getting together and let each other play with our toys. I think it needs to be said they've been by invitation so far, since space is often of an issue. There's been a GLAM to (Germany).

Thanks for the replies, sounds like fun. I know there's some LAFers in my region, maybe we can organize something.

No one seems to want to be honest about this... it's British Lead Adventurer Masons.

CLAM sounds good. If it ever sees the light of day, I could be up for it, depending on scheduling and whatnot.
