Maul upgrade

feeds@yuku.com (Siths Herald) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 08:17:23 GMT

I finally got some decent boots for Maul. They are not the original, screen acurate Frank Thomas Aqua Leather, but the overall design is very similar.

Best part... $25.00!!

Sorry, I should have posted earlier, but is anyone interested in going to this? A couple of us went last year, and I think we had a pretty swell time. Tickets are $10 at the door.

Let me know!

Serenity RPG Starting up Friday

feeds@yuku.com (Lady Starhawk) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 17:40:40 GMT

It's an RPG, but not necessarily a MN Force thing, so I decided to put it in the general forum rather than the gaming one. Feel free to move it if it's in the way though.

I am starting back up my Serenity RPG on Friday, if anybody's interested, let me know . Some people are making new characters, and others are opting out of the game, so it's a perfect time to jump in! We are going to try to play every other...

20th Century Fox released the new Avatar Trailer. I gotta say, this looks pretty sweet.

Featured Threads

feeds@yuku.com (bocrebjedi) — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 14:05:18 GMT

Testing Featured Threads. I had a little free-time at work and felt like playing with buttons on the board.

Only members can see members-only threads in the featured threads sections, otherwise non-members just see those threads available to everybody.

Is Facebook replacing on line forums/message boards?

feeds@yuku.com (Crocoboxer) — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 10:55:03 GMT

I've noticed a serious decline in postings in recent months on several on-line forums I visit, including this one. It was even the topic of a post here recently. So I was beginning to wonder why there would be such a precipitous drop in postings on this and other boards. At first I thought perhaps it was just a dead time of year but the trend continued into October which is our busiest month. Meanwhile, I have noticed a huge increase in activity on Facebook. When we do an event, Facebook...

Book Club Meeting

feeds@yuku.com (JediSeeker2) — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 09:59:12 GMT

I'm not trying to step on any toes here, but I'm I think we are long over due for a book club meeting. Looking at the Calender, Would November 22 work for people. At the Starbucks in bloomington right off of Pen ave. (on the other side of Pen from the usual meeting spot.)

Commander Bly Clone

feeds@yuku.com (Crocoboxer) — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 23:06:18 GMT

Most of you have already seen it at Zoo Boo or in photos, but for those who haven't, here's my Commander Bly costume. There's still much work to do in the weathering department but I'm very pleased with the progress so far. Special thanks to Kevin Doyle for all his work.

Starship Art

feeds@yuku.com (Siths Herald) — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 20:51:17 GMT

I don't recall if I ever had an art thread on these boards, but since I have art posted on Star Wars Artists' Guild, and that site is inteded as art for the RPG, I thought it was fitting in this thread.

A while back, I posted my drawing of the pirate ship Min's Wind.

Just this week, I got a reply on that thread from an artist who rendered it in...

Birthday Party Request - Shakopee, Sat Nov 21 at 2pm

feeds@yuku.com (TK4999) — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 22:58:41 GMT

We received a birthday party request from the small X-Wing fighter at the Zoo Boo. Here is the note from his mother:

My son will be having a Lego Star Wars 4th Birthday party. He is a huge fan. I think he knows more Star Wars characters than his ABCs. (Ahh, what a proud Mom) He would just be in awe if anyone showed, even if it was a short time for photos on your way to another event. Thank you, I know its short notice.
Referred by: My son saw many of you...

Congrats Kevin and Eileen!

feeds@yuku.com (bocrebjedi) — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 22:19:47 GMT

Congratulations Kevin and Eileen on your engagement! Hopefully pics and the video will be up soon. Glad the plan worked out and that Eileen was surprised. Good luck and let us know when the date is set.
