About the Club:
GAGG, in a word, is about one thing: FUN.
The club exists solely for that reason. We are probably one of the easiest clubs to belong to -- you don't have to do anything to be a member except enjoy hanging out and playing games. You decide your own level of involvement. Don't be afraid to try a new game if you've never played -- we're all eager to teach new friends our favorite games.
What kind of games do we play, you ask? Well, what kind DON'T we play?
Board Games
We play everything from the classics like Risk or Monopoly to more obscure but excellent board games like Settlers of Catan, Lord of the Rings, Ricochet Robot and many, many more! Have a favorite board game that no one else plays? Bring it to the meetings and you'll almost definately find people to play with!
Paintball
GAGG makes several trips out to Avon every year to play paintball. It will cost you $15 to rent the equipment you'll need for a whole day of fun. Carpooling is available and we always hit up Tom Wahl's for a great meal afterward.
Video Games
Computer games, Gamecube, PS2, X-Box. We love video games! We used to play computer games in the South Hall computer lab weekly, and we're always up for some console gaming, everything from Super Smash Bros. to Halo 2 to Dance Dance Revolution. Want to test your skills against some of the best, or just want to try a cool looking new game? Bring it on!
Card Games
We play many fun card games, from traditional playing card games like Poker to fun and wacky games like Grave Robbers from Outer Space and Lunch Money. We also play lots of Collectable Card Games, like Magic: The Gathering, Marvel VS., Shadowfist and Raw Deal. Ever wanted to learn one of these great games? We're more than glad to teach.
Some of the group has also recently got into Texas Hold'em, so if you enjoy that classic poker game, or have seen it on TV and would like to try, you know where to find games!
Role-playing Games (RPGS)
Sure, you've heard of Dungeons and Dragons. Ever wondered what its all about? It's sort of like a combinatation of Whose Line is it Anyway?, your favorite action/adventure/horror film, and a bagful of dice. Did you like The Lord of the Rings films? Ever wanted to fill the boots of Aragorn or Legolas facing Orc hordes? The Lord of the Rings RPG is your chance. Ever wanted to be a Jedi from Star Wars or a James Bond-esque superspy? Whatever kind of action you're into, there's almost definately an RPG for it. Never played before? Don't worry, it's easier than you think! If you're interested in any kind of interactive storytelling, you should definately give an RPG a shot -- they're alot of fun and a great way to make friends.
Wargames
Warlord, Warhammer, 40k, MageKnight -- yeah, we do that. Recruit new players to the fold or come to our annual convention, Running GAGG and play with the veterans! Warlord, especially, is becoming popular amongs the current members.
Movies
GAGG's been known to organize group trips to popular movies like the Matrix, Lord of the Rings and Star Wars. On top of that, we've quite a few movie buffs in our ranks, so if you like discussing films, trivia and pop culture new and old, we're happy to accomodate.
Convention
GAGG runs an annual convention at the beginning of each year called Running GAGG. Running GAGG has been running for nearly 10 years and is one of the most respected conventions in the area. Our little group regularly draws nearly 300 people from all accross the state for a whole weekend of games and fun.
Everything else
Bottom line -- if its a game, we'll play it. Any game you can possibly think of, bring it, teach some people and have a blast.
It's all about fun.
