I was going to suggest another escalation league get fired up after the holidays.

I talked with Dan of The Narrative Guys (Wargamescon, LVO) about bringing an event down here. I'm sure they're going to be busy between now and Feb prepping for LVO, but I can reach out to them and see if they would be interested in doing something down here after that. He said that they want to get into running narrative events on a more frequent basis and would be willing to travel. They need 6x8 tables, so DL may not be the best venue for it, but Table Top may be better.
