    For future reference, I Hail Mary, Midnight Library, Starless Sea/Night Circus, and Secret Life of Addie LaRue (sp?) are the best books I have read in the last few years. They all come highly, highly recommended. I may grab To Sleep and join you all in an unofficial capacity.


    I could not agree more. Night Circus and Starless Sea are all time faves. Erin... can't remember her last name, so good. I love her writing. Also love Addie LaRue and Hail Mary. nom nom nom.

    Y'all might be interested to know To Sleep in a Sea of Stars is narrated by Jennifer Hale!  Tons of voice acting roles, but perhaps particularly recognizable to many RoH members as the female Trooper/Bastila Shan/Satele Shan in SWTOR/KOTOR, and Commander Shepard in Mass Effect. 



    Yes! She's also the voice of Lyris Titanborn in ESO !!!! I heard her voice first in Mass Effect (which I just finished another play through of a month or two ago). Very cool!

    Thanks for putting the poll together, @Randal Arin! I was a bit behind things and he volunteered to help me out over discord. 🙂

     

    As for time to meet and reading pace, I think it depends on the book and how long it will be.  A lot of great suggestions on books so it's a hard choices to make for sure! 

     

    Gotcha. In the first post it sounded like you were thinking of maybe reading a few chapters and then meeting to discuss, rinse repeat. I could do a monthly meeting. If it's more often than that, probably not. I'll go ahead and vote and then see how it goes. :)

  4. I'm so in! Skaal and I and some other folx have read a few things together and discussed, but weren't using this forum. Happy to switch over to this platform. 

    Is it open for any genre or are we talking mostly scifi and/or fantasy? I have a bunch waiting in my personal queue that it would be fun to read together. 
    Also, how often are you intending to meet? 

    @Caitbrooke@Caitbrooke I loooooooved Project Hail Mary! Andy Weir's writing in general.

    I will be in for scifi/fantasy and depending on speed of reading, frequency of meeting. 

    Great idea folx!

    Hello all! This was posted on the thread about the meetup to decide whether to keep the february dates or reschedule, but I wanted to put them in a separate thread so we can find it more easily. 

    Context: we circulated a survey and held some meetings to ask about masks and vaccines, whether to reschedule or keep to the original plan. 
    After a lot of discussion, it was decided to keep the original dates (feb 18th -21st, 2022) and add some requirements to help lower the risks for people who are the most vulnerable and therefore the most concerned about exposure to contagions. Below is the post on the topic from November. Note: originally we had hoped to have an "official RoH" event on friday, saturday and sunday, but have not had people able to organize anything on Friday and Saturday (and the cirque du soleil event is now scheduled for Friday anyway). So Saturday gathering at the RoH suite at The D (hosted by Skaal!) is the only official RoH event that the requirements below apply to as of now anyway. 

     
     

    Based on the results of our meetings and the survey results, it's been decided to go ahead with the scheduled dates! 

    For the "official" RoH events (so far only a gathering on Saturday- subject to change) masks and proof of COVID vaccines will be required. This is only for the sponsored/organized RoH events. What people want to negotiate with others for personal get togethers is up to you. We decided this would be the best way to have some time that respects the needs of members who are the most concerned about exposure for any reason and feel that masks and vaccinations will help them to feel less at risk so they can enjoy the get together.

  6. Hi all! Time to start thinking about a time seems like. Saturday late afternoon/evening is the RoH guild party at The D. Friday night is Cirque du Soleil. Not sure if people are going to the Grand Canyon on Sunday or not- so that might present a conflict. 

    Some options then:

    1) Saturday before the guild party in the afternoon

    2) Sunday anytime if Grand Canyon doesn't happen (or no one wants to do both) 

    3) I'm arriving on Thursday and leaving Tuesday, so we could go Friday or Monday if others are going to be there. 

    I'm leaning toward Saturday day, so we don't rule out anyone joining who doesn't know they are yet. :D 
    That leaves it open for the most people to be spontaneous and still do all the other stuff. 

    let me know what you think!

    TIME TO BUY YOUR TICKETS FOLX!!!! ❤️ And if you haven't booked your group rate room yet, please do so we can get another block at the discounted rate. 

    And remember, we have a suite donated by Skaal that you can stay in for free. It will be a shared room and you must reserve a space to be guaranteed a bed in that room. 
     

  9. If you are planning  to attend the RoH meet-up in February, considering/on the fence, or previously were planning on attending and are now not, please feel out the following survey : 
     

    https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=DQSIkWdsW0yxEjajBLZtrQAAAAAAAAAAAAMAANAFyA1UQVdZUUNGVlhXTUpJMEZFRVhZM0swREM0OC4u

    It takes about 2 minutes and will provide us with very important information for moving forward. 
     

  10. SOrry about that @AndrasteKer- if you click on topics at the top of this interest group,  there's a post labeled "start here" and one with booking info. 
    But I edited the title of the group so the dates are there now. :)February 18th to the 21st. 

    There's also an RoH meetup group in discord with pinned info at the top. 

    Topics - Archives of Hope (remnantsofhope.com)

    Some people are planning to go earlier and stay later, but those are the official RoH meetup dates. :)

  11. Hullo all! We knew that things in the world are in flux and we might need to reconsider our timing. If you've been considering joining us in Vegas in February for the guild meetup, it's time for us to start thinking about whether we just keep our plans as is or reschedule for later next year or even a year ahead. 
     

    Please join us to discuss and vote. If you can't make it and have a vote one way or the other, please message me personally or reply to this thread and we'll make sure to include your preference.  
     

    Meanwhile, spread the word! we'll be in a voice channel at meeting time. See you there!

  12. This is a vegas attraction that I haven't been to and I wanna go this trip!   https://themobmuseum.org/

     

    TheMobMuseum_Alleyway.thumb.jpg.2e39e2e7301050f1e770b99fb677d222.jpg


    Looks like general admission is $29.95 per person. They have some other options with one or two "interactive experiences" 0_0 that cost an addition $15-$20.

    Groups of 10 or more it drops to $19.95 per person. I also see that some groupon offers exist. 

    There's also a speakeasy on site- The Underground, where you can immerse in a prohibition era type atmosphere and tour the old timey distillery. And eat and drink. :) It looks purdy.

    We could fit it in on Friday afternoon (depending on when y'all arrive), saturday late morning to early afternoon, sunday (if not going to the grand canyon) or Monday earlyish (depending on departure times. 

    I'm planning to be in Vegas from Thursday the 17th to Tuesday the 22nd, so some flexibility on timing if others who want to go will be there on those dates too. 


    If you're interested, chime in on this thread with possible available times. We have plenty of time to plan, of course. :)
    I will want to pin it down by december or early january at latest. ❤️

  13. Info Sheet for RoH Meetup Vegas 2022

    (there's a word doc attached that you can download.) 
     

    Dates

    February 18th to the 21st (Friday thru Monday)

    • You must book all three nights to get the group rate.
    • You’re welcome to book additional days at the same hotel but will pay the regular rate for any additional days.  
    • No matter where you stay,  we’ll aim to have most of our guild wide events at or near The D.  In essence, it’ll be our “headquarters”.
       

    The Hotel
     

    The D Hotel and Casino

    301 Fremont Street, Las Vegas, NV 89101       1.800.274.5825   The D Website

     

    Booking a Room @ Group Rate
     

    • To book room(s) at the group rate, call  702-388-2274  or email reservations@thed.com (the group code won’t work for online booking).
    • However you book, be sure to reference the group code DCRE21 or group name Remnants of Hope Gaming Guild to get the special rates.
    • You must book by 1/18/22 to get the special rates. Room rates after this date will increase.
    • Note: They will only reserve 15 rooms at a time for us. When those are booked, they’ll release another block of 15. Be aware that as time goes on, rates may increase. We’re only guaranteed the quoted rate for each block of 15 we request. The earlier you can book the better!
    • Be sure to specify whether you want two queen beds or one king. We can get either, until they fill up.

       

    Cost

    • The total for all three nights is $353.51. That’s for up to two person occupancy and includes the resort fee and the taxes. It's an extra $20 per night per person for 3 or 4 people in a room. This doesn’t apply to children, so there’s no extra fee to bring your kids.
    • There's a $100 refundable security deposit required on check in day. They place a hold on your card and then release it as soon as you check out and they confirm that there’s  been no damage, smoking, etc. in the room.
    • The deposit required to make the reservation at the group rate is the first night plus tax, which comes to $100.57.
    • We have a donation fund up and running to help with costs for those who otherwise wouldn’t be able to come. Details are still in the works. Please join the interest group (see below) to stay up to date.
       

     

    Cancellation Policy
     

    You can cancel up to 72 hours prior to arrival date to get your money back (the deposit you made when you booked). If you cancel beyond that, you forfeit your deposit.
     

     

    Important!!! Once You’ve Booked:
     

    Please use the link below to complete a form that lets us know you've booked your room(s). The hotel will only give us 15 rooms at a time and it takes a minute for us to request more. Our hope is to know asap when all 15 of the current block are full so we can request more right away.

  14. General place to share links for stuff to do in and around Vegas. 

    This is the brainstorming zone. 

    If you have a thing you know you'd like to do, please create a separate topic with relevant info and find others who want to do it too! Then as we get closer to the event, finalize details in your thread. 

    Here's a few general links to lots of random things.

  15. This is the place to start planning the personal details of our dream Vegas experience with RoHers. Here you can post a thread if you're looking for a room share, rides, help with anything trip related, questions, connect with others who want to do the thing that you do too, etc. 
     

    If you post a request or offer of assistance for room, ride, airline miles, etc.,, please mark it complete if you find the connection you need so others aren't still posting on your thread or having to scroll all the way through to see if it's still needed/available.  By mid July, we will pin a post with all of the basic info we've compiled (dates, group rate hotel, etc) for you to refer to as needed. 
     

    Look for this interest group and that info document to morph as we go. Note that there's also an RoH meetup channel in discord if you want to chat and stay informed! 
     

    VEGASSS BAAAABYYYYYYY!!!!
