Cribtop Gamer Posted September 14, 2002 Share Posted September 14, 2002 I'm glad you asked, PIPPU. I played all the great boardgames for years as a kid - Third Reich, ASL, etc. I drifted away from gaming in college 'cause I couldn't find anyone to play with. Then I moved to Dallas and met some great guys at one of the old DallasCons. We played minis for hours and exchanged contact info, agreeing that we would try to form a weekly miniature wargaming group. Well, the appointed day rolled around and we met at one of the guys' houses. Trouble was, he didn't have a wargaming table. We were SOL. That's when he hit on the idea of taking his son's crib, flipping it upside down, and slapping some plywood on top of it - voila, instant table. From that day on, we took to calling ourselves the "Criptop Gamers." Don't worry - the guy's son was old enough that he was no longer using the crib I've since moved back to my beloved Austin, but that group was great, and we still keep in touch. So, there you go, my handle in a nutshell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
