Cool Gantry. Where abouts is that? I am not familiar with it, by name anways.
It's a chain of lakes over 100km long, one of the top 10 canoe trips in the world. I had the good fortune of having lived near there some years ago. Some links: clicky, clicky, clicky, clicky and map |

Some links: clicky, clicky, clicky, clicky and mapThanks. I knew they sounded familiar, (and somewhat close). I enjoy canoeing, but it is my wife who is passionate about canoeing. She is planning a 5 week trip from the Yukon next year. I will pass on the Bowron info to her. Looks awesome. Thanks for the links!!!! |

Hello, all!
Long-time gamer here, but no quite a hard core wargamer. These busy days I tend to play games that the family can enjoy. You can find me around the internet always with this username, although it usually has a "17" affixed. (Which does not mean I'm 17 years old.)
My interest in Carcassonne was recently rekindled when we acquired a second, open copy of the base game and I thought: hmmm, maybe I'll convert all those extra tiles into customs! As I searched for customs ideas, I came across Matt Harper's annotated rules compendium on BGG. Being thoroughly impressed by that body of work, I fully intended to thank him via a BGG PM or some such, but I could not be immeadiately diverted from my quest for variants.
Which led me to the public downloads section of this board. Found Novelty's forest tiles and swooned with delight! "But such a small sampling," thought I, "here's goes my time into expanding that." As these thoughts were going on, I joined the board then started slowly poking around over a few days.
Holy cloisters and cows! What a bunch of like-minded Carcassonne fans. Not only did I find mjharper right here, but I also discovered the whole forest expansion, and gold mines too! heh. Not only is this a group of fans, but you're knowledgable, imaginative, and dedicated to quality custom projects.
I'm currently trying to work through the old posts before I post too much (I'm just that way). And I'v got quite a few oars in the water right now, so I'm not sure how active I'll be, but I am glad to be a member of the board. Hopefully you'll accpet me into your community.
-- Cappy

Welcome to here. Take your time reading all the old posts (I did too... but when I joined... well, there weren't that many of them...), but do feel free to contribute as well.
And thanks for the kind words about the forest expansion and gold mines, but forest is still work in progress at the moment. Please do feel free to suggest improvements!

...and somehow I missed it and started my own thread. Mods, feel free to merge mine into here. Geocaching... haven't done that in a while. It was great fun, wonder why we stopped? Maybe I'll see if I can't send a Carc tile to Canada? And you're no longer the oldest, Bixby.  |

Wow, this is an impressive site. My name is Dion (37) and I'm a Carcassonne newbie (my game arrived today!). I've been playing the PC version for a week solid. At least once a week I play board games with a old school friend. I bought Carcassonne with a view to introduce my two oldest boys to strategy games other than chess. I'll be buying copies for friends now! Other board games I like: Blokus, Pentago, Lost Cities (OK, it's a card game), Lord of the Rings, Risk, Lord of the Rings:Confrontation and Risk Express. There are more, but these are the current faves. So... er HELLO!  |
