Heroics
The Newsletter of the Eastern Pennsylvania Gaming Society
September 2010

If this newsletter appears rushed, it's because I am a very busy person. When I took over the newsletter position I had just been laid off and had plenty of time. Now I'm dealing with work and school and while there a lot of positive things to be said for that, it definitely has compromised my free time! In fact, with officer elections coming up soon, I would like to officially announce that I will be stepping down from the newsletter editor position effective at the end of my term in December. If you have an interest in this or any of the other officer positions, please bring it up at one of the upcoming meetings.

Meanwhile...the Phillies won the NL East division again. Funny how it never grows old! They've been looking very good recently, so perhaps there's another World Series in their near future. Go Phillies!

All for now. Game on!

The Games We Played - September 2010
Axis & Allies My personal thanks (once again!) to Harold Dewhirst for providing lists of games played. For the second month in a row, Axis & Allies won most played honors, this time with an incredible seven times played. Incredible because it is definitely not a quick game! Second place was a tie between two fantasy-theme card games: Magic The Gathering and Thunderstone, with three plays each.
