Sounds like a good place for me to take a vacation. :) I wish I could read spanish so I could surf your site.

Keep up the good work.

best wishes for a good begining! have fun and dont worry about how many people you have attending, it takes time to grow a group. be sure to promote here and on atariage for best results.

if you ever want a north american "sister" group you can always get in touch with us in the New England Classic Gamers Group, we just love those pirate carts!

Naturally Christian will be the "sister" group, since he's a bit of a Mary.

So if you need a "big brother" group, a group of burly manly types to look up to and send your pirate carts out to, that would be the NJ Classic crew. Addresses available upon request.

Most importantly, have fun with it!

*notes that the "he-man" DP crew needed help carrying things and could not even finish the beer they brought at the last NECG meet. at least they didnt whine about the snow ;)

LOL

1. "others carrying things": That's because we're commanders. Again, rather manly, I know.

2. "didn't finish their beer": That's because we finished yours instead. I'd take a Sam Adams over a Coors Lite any day. In fact, that was the plan.

3. "didn't whine about the snow": Was there snow?

Carry on.

Hey!, the north-american parties are full of alcoholic people!!! :P

I'll see if I can't understand the Spanish version first, but I'm honestly rather excited about the idea. I find it quite interesting how the market ecology works down there so products failed or underappreciated elsewhere get a huge following and carve a permanent niche out for themselves (doesn't Brazil still, even today, have a pretty big Odyssey following?)

I'll certainly look forward to the pictures.

so why have a north american group to work with? well we're blessed that our games will work on your systems and vice versa, none of that PAL nonsense. the main reason though is shipping, it makes things a lot easier and cheaper if we have large group trades to save time and postage. for example, our members send your members a large box of games and you send us one to be handed out at the meet.

well i like my idea

[Ed Oscuro]

Actually, a number of folks do similar things; I can think of some folks in Europe who drive a large box of old home minis over the continent and trade 'em off with their counterpart. Works pretty well if you're both interested in stuff from the other region, and can find/bear to part with extra stuff from your area.
