This big boy illustrates our year's theme of Before the Socket Bayonet

Jackson Gamers' schedule of games for 2008

Our theme this year

Before the Socket Bayonet

Please scroll down to see all months.

This year we continue our schedule structure of dividing the year into four "quarters." In each "quarter" we will have a theme and three to four games will be played in that theme and with the same set of rules. The remaining games will be "wild cards" unrelated to each other.

In months that have five weekends, we will game on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th Saturdays instead of just the 1st and 3rd.

Please realize that while this is our best attempt at a definative listing, changes will certainly be made to this schedule of games. This should be considered as tentative until we actually start rolling the dice for the game!
