Tonight Herbert, Eric, Michael G. and I went to Nifty Fifties and then played Settlers (Michael's first game. Amazingly, the beginner didn't win :^) amid discussions of geiger counters, Orson Scott Card, foreign words for odd things, and suchlike.
We discovered that (Noda's) Settlers set is missing things - the white pieces and the circles for numbering each hex. I made crude substitutes out of paper (which are in the set now, Noda, in case you need to keep using them -- but I hope you know where the actual pieces have got to). It was a nicely silly evening, and a good if slow and 7-overfilled game, and just a wonderfully sweet respite from worries about the future of SWIL/"???", a reminder of how much I love it when people come together around creative play. So thank you!
