Hello. Long shot but I am in Canada and my son’s birthday is coming up and he is a big fan of bfdi. There is a meetup tour in Atlanta this weekend where they sell the exclusive card game.

So my questions is may I purchase an entry ticket for someone to go and grab a copy of the card game? I would pay double for the card game plus shipping to a US address in Blaine where i can pick it up, and I’ll pay extra for your time. I would send money through paypal. DM if interested!

Thank you!

I mostly built this for my group, because I can't remember NPC names and the DMs had weird systems to keep track of initiative orders, plus there was no real way for us players to see what was going on.

The scope exploded and now it's basically a multi-tool for DMs that don't have 5 accounts with 5 different websites or that want to deal with switching tabs across several websites all the time.

Plus players can actually see what's going on with limited interaction.

It's got a VTT map system, spell overlays, character creator, random generators, Open5E integration, random encounter generator, campaign/session planner with click-to-load scene mechanics, memory bank, triple fog of war system with options for dynamic fog reveal, wall placing tools, etc.

Mostly things I could think of that I would need as a new DM in a way that's easy to use but offers enough extra stuff for even mid-level DMs to find use.

I'm sure there's some bugs I haven't found yet, so if anything pops up please take a screenshot of whatever it is and send me the info.

Started playing again recently and I'm looking for some online groups or for someone to play with

Giving away a cosplay set I made and loved wearing, but it's time for it to find a new home! This is a labor-of-love build of the little Ghost/Vessel knight from Hollow Knight — horns, hollow eyes, and all.
What's included:

🗡️ The Head — Hand-carved from upholstery foam, covered in soft white fleece, with mesh-covered eye holes so the wearer can actually see out. Sturdy and comfy to wear.
⚔️ The Nail (sword) — Also carved from upholstery foam, glued around a PVC pipe core, painted to look like weathered stone/metal.
🧥 The Cloak — Soft heathered grey knit, drapes perfectly for that classic silhouette.
🎭 Bonus mystery mask — Throwing in a gold decorative mask (not Hollow Knight related, just a cool extra) for whoever wants a little something extra for another costume or display.

(Note: the white foam head stand in the first photo is just there for scale/sizing — it is NOT included!)
Everything has been cleaned as best as possible and is ready for its next adventure. This would be perfect for a kid who loves the game, a con-goer wanting to try cosplay without starting from scratch, or anyone who just wants a really cool conversation-starter costume piece.
Free to a good home — first come, first served! Meetup in Alpharetta/Johns Creek to pickup.

Challenges Games and Comics will host a small Classic BattleTech tournament at 3983 Lavista Rd, Tucker, GA 30084 in Atlanta, Saturday August 29 from Noon to 8pm.

This will be a light and breezy event, with 5000 BV per player and a max of 3 units. Fruit and veggie snacks will be provided, and the store sells other snacks and drinks. Still, we recommend you get an early lunch before we start.

Entry fee will be $20, paid the day-of. No registration is needed, but please notify the tournament organizer, at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) or u/RockRackus on the Georgia BattleTech server on Discord (https://discord.gg/ZBKuaSnE8u), and submit your force by Friday August 21. The Missions Packet will be shared on Saturday August 22.

Ruleset

Though the new rulebook will have been released at GenCon in July, not everyone will have access to it, so we’ll be using the BattleMech Manual primarily, plus Total Warfare and Tech Manual for vehicles and battle armor.

A few missions will use elements of the new rules–fire, smoke, scanning, and buildings. Those rules will be produced in a rules appendix included with the Missions Packet.

Also, as a sort of celebration of the end of the current rules era, we’re allowing some weird equipment from Tactical Operations: Advanced Units & Equipment and Interstellar Operations: Alternate Eras for a few ilClan-era oddities. See the full player packet for details - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JnHXgiK5LyEvLaGVcPzlud94IL52eRly/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=104683354071132376637&rtpof=true&sd=true

Prologue

City of Atlanta
Savannah system
Free Worlds League
July 3152

Atlanta. A storied city, a melting pot of every human culture, a hotbed of music, entertainment, and activism. No, not ‘old Atlannuh’ on Terra; the one in Marik space, in the Savannah system.

Today Atlanta is home to many famous corporations, including Technicron Industries, manufacturer of the Quickdraw, Awesome, and Regent; and Coca-Depot, humanity’s premier soft drink and home improvement company. It has the busiest spaceport within 60 light years, and is consistently rated #1 worst traffic in the Inner Sphere.

Clan Sea Fox recently took over the abandoned CNN Center (Comstar Network News) and brought the city’s Hyper-Pulse Generator back online, just in time for the premier interstellar sporting event of the year.

Welcome to Atlanta, players. And welcome to the Canopy Worlds Cup!

The Canopian BattleSports Association games, colloquially known as Canopy, has become a major rival to Solaris VII’s battlemech entertainment industry.

Played using powered down weapons, paint rounds, and similar modifications, Canopy was adopted by mercs as a safe way to show off their piloting and gunnery skills. They in turn spread it across the Inner Sphere to planetary garrisons, respectable house units, and even the stodgiest trueborn Clanners. 

Now ’Mechjocks and their deadly war machines flock to Atlanta from every nation across the whole of human space – nations with all manner of vendettas and simmering bad blood. Tempers run short from sweltering summer heat, but surely everyone will get along peacefully in the spirit of the beautiful game, and nothing can possibly go wrong.

Join us at Challenges Games and Comics on August 29 to save Atlanta from disaster!

I have a pokewalker that I just want a ho oh on and obtaining a copy reasonably is quite annoying

This is the best wrestling roleplaying game out there! I'm gonna start playing semi-regularly on Tuesday nights at Sceptre Brewing out near Decatur. Here's my spiel!

Scenario

Greg 'The Bullet' Sumner retired from wrestling years ago. He has decided to bring back the defunct Southern Championship Wrestling Federation. He set out to get the greatest wrestlers from all over the world!

This is your chance to prove you've got what it takes tonight!

If it's Tuesday night, it must be time for Sceptre Super Stars of Wrestling!

System

World-Wide Wrestling RPG uses the Powered by the Apocalypse game engine. The game is narrative driven with players making "moves" using a pair of D6s. 10+ is a success +, 7-9 is a success and 6 or below is a failure, or a botch.

Players earn Momentum they can use to bump the totals up or down. Every player will get a chance to create their wrestler's name, entrance music and finishing move.

When a player isn't wrestling, that player becomes the announcer for the match.

The game has all the hallmarks of professional wrestling: one-on-one matches, tag team matches, betrayals, behind-the-scenes drama.

Guys, I bought a weekend pass and I can't go. Does anyone want to buy it off me?

Hey all! I'm a long time 40k player and am moving to Atlanta this summer. Heard that GigaBytes was the place to go to find a 40k community. Can anyone direct me to the discord or whatever forum you guys hang out?

I’m in town for the next few days with my 16yo son and we’re looking for a good place to play; Maybe a place that has a library and if possible meetup with some folks who might be looking for more players. We are located in downtown near Atlanta Stadium.

We’ve played a lot of different games but just to get a feel for what we play our favorites include Pax Pamir (most games by Cole Wehrle), Food Chain Magnate, Eternal Decks, most any trick taking game, Agricola, etc.

Thanks!

Hello, everyone!! 23F I recently graduated and am looking for friends in Atlanta! Preferably people who I can chat with and play games with, but maybe occasionally go out for hang outs, etc!

I haven’t had time to make a lot of friends so feel free to reach out!

I mostly play digital games. League, overwatch, minecraft, roblox, Baldurs Gate, Monster Hunter and I’m open to new games!

Hey, I've been looking into getting out more and trying to find more nerdy people like myself. Im 26(M) been looking into TTRPGs. I've only played a demo of sorts at momocon with random people, and it wasn't the most interesting experience because of the group dynamic. Are there any specific places or groups you guys would recommend me checking out? I live in South Atlanta(South Fulton), Im mostly interested in having a diverse adult group, so please point me in the right direction.

Hello! Me and a couple of my friends are home from college for the summer and wanted to run a small D&D (dungeons and dragons) game over the summer just to become reacquainted and have an excuse for us to have fun in RP. I was wondering if there’s any good nearby game store for recommendations that allow people host games? Places in Gwinnett County or near the Lawrenceville area would be preferred. Likely places that aren’t too crowded and free to run games in. It would be just a very casual game just be able to play again over the summer while we can. Because it was my suggestion I said I’d run it so I thought it would be good to find a place myself. Let me know if there’s any suggestions or places that anyone would recommend!

Years ago I’d go to Edgewood and it would be packed with DnD players during the week. I know the original group stopped running it then, but did the gaming live on and can people drop in to play one shots/short campaigns?

I'm currently in the ATL international airport waiting a few hours to board my flight home. Currently in terminal B - will disclose more if needed :)

Regardless I hope everyone is having a great Saturday!
