For Instance, if you have a family, and you are hosting a game someone might want to rob at your house, this is probably bad in the first place.

Re: MD/VA/DC Players warning!
 

old ebbitt has really great crabcakes too and a good mix of burger menu and nicer stuff. One of my favorite places.

Not to mention amazing raw oysters...I'm totally flexible where we go, everyone just let me know.

Re: MD/VA/DC Players warning!
 

Believe me, the people playing appreciate the precautions I take. My house is not located in one of the safest neighborhoods in Ithaca, so they doubly appreciate it. I wouldn't be shocked if some of the local criminal element actually are aware of the game, but they also probably know there are WAY easier targets. The firearms aren't a problem, since the players are family, close friends, or people vouched for by them exclusively, plus my brother, who's there every week, is a probation officer licensed to carry firearms, and one of the occasional players in the game is an off-duty NY State Trooper, so my gun is rarely the only one in the room.

And Trajan and Hadrian, despite their size, are really big sweethearts. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Until I tell them not to be. Or until they see someone threatening my wife or child. God help the moron who does that.

So dinner is definitely on the agenda, and the location is to be determined.

How many people are interested in playing some cards at Jon's in Greenbelt afterwards? If there's not significant interest perhaps we should just go out for (more) drinks after dinner.

How about everyone who is interested PM's me thier email address so we can get this organized without letting the public know about our rabid dog/milita style home-game.
