A much vented discussion under Board Games have put forward the pros/cons of buying games/ terrain etc. as a central part. My tuppence worth of input:
1) As one of these boardgamers I'm happy to buy my own games. Mostly on the principal that those are the ones I want to play and as someone mentioned, as a clubgame it's way too easy for stuff to go missing, rendering the game un-playable in the end. Do people actually play any of the games in the storage upstairs?
2) I seem to remember a discussion at the yearly meeting about cleaning up among the bits and bobs. Meaning throwing trash away and maybe get rid of "unwanted" items in the storage, and then have a look-see whether the club should buy replacement items. Also sorting out the storage.
3) I totally agree with the view to have terrain, buildings etc. for the minis stored at the club because it takes a lot of space and will be a right pain to have to transport it to/from the club every time.
4) I don't subscribe to lean for/against any of the "factions", after all, we're there because we like to play games, whatever type they might be and have fun (and escape the harsh reality for a couple of hours
).
On a sidenote: We own a copy of Kingsburg and have never played Twilight Empirium but it looks complicated, I'd take Stephen Mawson's word for it and have a Long Sunday dedicated to it maybe.
Anyway, that's my thoughts.
