    Who is ready for 2020 to be over? I'm know I am. Summer is on its way out, but the holidays are not quite here. It's time for a monthly meeting! This will possibly be the third from last meeting for the year and we have much to discuss. Please join us for the conversation if you can.

    New Stuff:
    • Results from my 2 month test run on Starbourne:
      • general impressions and some of the mistakes I learned so you don't have to
      • prospects for future involvement?
    • Run & Gun for Saturdays
      • more big War Thunder fun?
      • more prizes for participation?
      • Among Us
      • Fall Guys?
    Old Stuff:
    • Recommended Game List
    • Mechwarrior:
      • updates for MW5 steam release
    • Total Warhammer Tuesdays
    • Warlord Wednesdays (Strat Night)
      • CoH2 still strong contender (alt. Planet Anni, SinsOASE, BFME, etc.?)
    Decisions Need To Be Made:
    • Tabletop Simulator
    • Sunday Group Play
    • No Man's Sky
    • Megamek/Battletech
    On the Radar:
    • Star Citizen
    • Bannerlord
    • Iron Harvest
    • Elite Dangerous
    ...and whatever else I forgot to be added later.

    After-Meeting Event:
    • Among Us "testrun"
    • War Thunder Custom Battles

    Among other things, I want to also talk about the 75% off sale going on for Stardock games until Sept 29th:
    [​IMG]
    https://store.steampowered.com/sale/stardockpublishersale

    Including Sins of a Solar Empire:

    • it's a popular 4x game among our group.
    • games finish much faster than Stellaris which could make it a better alternative for many of us with busier schedules.
    • still is less micro intensive compared to most RTS games
    • best of all, up to 10 people can play together competitively or cooperatively!

    Thanks again to everyone who was there and to Dane for taking notes.

    The plan is to follow through on much of this by later this month.
