We have some massive milestones to celebrate, along with a couple of quick housekeeping reminders to keep our community welcoming, fun and comfortable for everyone.
🎲 1. Save the Date: EGL’s 15th Anniversary Party!
Can you believe it? Our little board game club, The EGL, is turning 15! The very first EGL meetups happened in July 2011 😲
To celebrate a decade & a half of tabletop victories, crushing defeats and amazing friendships, we are throwing a massive party on Saturday Aug 15; see the official announcement & RSVP here.
🧼 2. Community Comfort (Hygiene Policy)
Please consider this a friendly reminder – with large gatherings & time spent around the gaming table, we want to make sure everyone has an enjoyable experience, so we ask everyone to take a moment to review & abide by our club’s Code of Conduct.
In particular, please be mindful of personal hygiene. Out of respect for your fellow players sharing close spaces, please ensure you’re fresh & clean before heading to our events.
🔄 3. Mix It Up This July: Try a New Table!
Come July, we’re trying something new to help shake things up & get folks mingling!
We want to ensure everyone has a chance to meet, connect and play with as many different people as possible, so we’re asking you to adopt a new guideline: try sitting with a different table host each week!
We know it’s easy to settle into a familiar groove, but we promise it’s worth stepping out of your comfort zone. Playing with different folks is a fantastic way to experience new playstyles, discover new games, and make this community even closer; we think you’ll find it well worthwhile! We will see you at the next table!
🎨 4. Game Night’s Tables @ EGL
To aid & abet you with #3 above, we’re excited to introduce a brand new tool for planning EGL game nights! Tables@EGL allows hosts to create game tables which members can view & join; get a preview of which games are on offer each week & reserve your spot!
To use this tool, first ensure you have RSVP’d via Heylo, then visit https://tables.egl.events/ to log in. Even if you don’t plan to register for tables, consider logging in just once to let us know what kind of games you prefer to play, it really helps!
🆔 5. Discord Clean-Up: Update Your Nickname!
We want to know who we’re talking to! If you haven’t already, please update your Discord server nickname to include your real first name.
Example: GamerTag99 (Alex) or Alex | GamerTag99
If you need help changing your nickname on the server, just ping a moderator & we’ll gladly assist.
⚠️ Note: To keep our community safe & recognizable, accounts without a real first name in the discord username will be subject to removal from the server.
Thank you all for making EGL such an incredible community for the last 15 years. Let’s make this anniversary the best one yet! See you around the next table!
