Hey hey hey! Looney is my #1 favorite game design role model!

I just posted this in the PDX tribe:

In the Voodoo Doughnuts thread, I mentioned backgammon, then Fluxx, and someone else mentioned other Looney Labs games (namely Aquarius), and someone else mentioned Munchkin Fu and A Thousand Blank White Cards.

I love games! When I first moved to Portland (1994), I found a group on usenet that started up a Monday night games night at a coffee shop in Tigard. It was great fun. Maybe it's time to get something like that going again...

Please post if you're interested, and please also suggest coffee houses with enough tables and an ambience amenable to a bunch of game-playing, coffee-drinking geeks. I don't know if that place we used to go to still exists. I wish I could remember the name of it!

I'm thinking of maybe an every-other-week thing on Mondays, Tuesdays, or Wednesdays... and if enough people are interested, we could do it weekly, or different parts of town on different weeknights...

Very cool! I don't have a regular game night right now, but maybe we can get some people together at a coffee shop some night.

Whats more convenient for you - SE, NE, NW, Beaverton?

I think there's more of an ongoing discussion of gaming that seems to happen about 2x a month on wednesdays over in PDX Games. IIRC, there's a good number of Looney games played at these get togethers.
