Over on the nerdist.com website, they let us know a "Real-Life Harry Potter Location Clock Proves GPS is Magic" here.

Also, floating around on Facebook and elsewhere is this Steve Jackson Games funny on wargaming.  Laugh it up.

Finally, from YouTube and the Monty Python gang, this scene from Holy Grail with the dumb guards is one of my favorites and an inspiration for GMing guards in any era or setting.  Enjoy!

The Friday Grab Bag - Cafes, Comedies, & the BPA

Over on okcfox.com, they tell us a "Group in Norman wants to create café centered around gaming" here.  Personally, I think it is great that more and more of these types of places are opening up all over the place.  They might not work in the busiest locations where turning over the tables is a must, but locally we play at Culver's weekly and enjoy adding tot he atmosphere.

Also, on cleveland.com, a slightly confused account of a comedy stage show centered on gaming is titled "Dungeons & Dragons and beers and laughs? Yes, this weekend at The Side Quest in Lakewood."  The author seems to be a little off on his terms but seems to have enjoyed the show nonetheless.  Find out more here.

Finally, on boardgamers.org, check out the Boardgame Players Association here.  "The Boardgame Players Association is a non-profit corporation established to support the shared interests of board game players everywhere. The BPA wishes to serve as a portal for boardgamers to enjoy their favorite games. If you enjoy historical simulation games, euro games, racing games, train games, any type of board game, you’ll find thousands of people here that share your interests.

Events & Play Wednesday - Gathering, BrigadeCon, & the Dwarven Tavern

Just a reminder that, locally, A Gathering of Gamers is not being held at the Elkhorn Pizza Ranch as per the norm but rather at Lake Geneva Games 918 S Wells St, Lake Geneva, WI 53147. (262) 885-1515.  That's this Sunday for those of you with some free time and an interest in boardgaming.  The even is run by the Southern Lakes Area Gamers  (S.L.A.G.) on Facebook here of which you have to be a member to see the events like this one created through the group.  But just show up and play, if you like.  There's plenty enough room for everyone.

Also, on brigadecon.org, you can find out about Brigade Con 2015, "a free, online tabletop gaming convention that will take place on October 10th, 2015. There will be 24 hours chock-full of roleplaying games, workshops and prizes."  Find out more here.
