Come on out to Eastern Divide Brewery in Blacksburg on Saturday. We begin at 12:00 (noon) when they open. Great food, great beer and a good selection of games! It’s a fantastic venue for gaming, large tables with plenty of seating, a vey welcoming environment. Check out the pictures below.

Hope to see you there!

It’s a new year! There are new events and our gaming group is growing!

We will have one day a month of board games at Eastern Divide Brewery in Blacksburg along with bi-weekly gaming in Christiansburg.

Also, as a side note, if you are attending Prezcon in February, we will see you there!

We have updated the game day/night schedule, we are trying to meet every few weeks, alternating between Friday’s and Sunday’s. We shifted a few of the dates to avoid holiday conflicts. I would love to add another day to the calendar. We need feedback from our members as to what day would be best and WHERE. It can definitely be at the house but if someone has a recommendation for another location, that would be great. I’d love to expand where we meet to broaden our scope.

You can find the calendar here.

Please post a comment here or on Facebook as to your recommendations. We would love to get more of you to come by making the times more appealing or convenient.

This Sunday was not your normal, family, euro game sit down. We decided to go big and NOT go home!

It was a 5 person Firefly: the Board Game day and the game did not disappoint! We played the Desperadoes story and people were way more willing to feed each other to the Revers, the Corvette and the Alliance cruiser. One player tried over and over to get contraband to the planet Osiris without luck, another couldn’t pull off a single misbehave action without getting his crew wanted then killed. The Georgia system turned into the Reaver’s personal vacation spot and the Rim was not friendly to other players.

At the end of the night, it came down to two players vying for the title with Matt coming out on top thanks to an Alliance patrol.

Come on out and play with NRV Tabletop, we would love to see you!

We have tweaked some of the site pages, here are the changes to the site

• Main Page
  • Removed the posts section and made the forums the main display
  • Moved the upcoming events to the left side and renamed it
• Menu
  • Moved Forum above Posts and changed the main heading to “Posts and Stuff”
  • Changed the heading of “Gallery” to “Pictures”
• Forum
  • Enabled copying posts into the General category (allows new post to get emailed out)
  • Changed the Players Wanted Category to be “Players Wanted, Quick Games”. Use this if you are looking to play on a day there isn’t an event. This will get emailed out to those in the group and replies on the topic would show interest. This allows players to reach out to each other, try it out! Thanks for the idea Ken!
• Weekly Event Email
  • Created a new job that will send out a list of the upcoming events, when they are and the number of seats still available

A couple of additional reminders:

• You can use the members list to reach out to individual members of the group, it has name and email address. You need to be logged in to see it.
• We have a capability to maintain a list of games for each user, It would be great if people could enter their games in, it creates a link to the BBG page for that game!
• Would you like a way to create events through the website?

Thanks everyone!
