Sorry I missed this earlier. Absolutely you can! In fact, I suspect there are very few (if any people) around here who would have such gear, so you would have a better chance finding things here than most other places! (I also have quite an M:tG collection to play with...)

If you can make it to both, that's awesome. If not, some more reasons to come to Thespival...
1.
A comprehensive board game collection that will have something for everyone
2. Enough space in the house that the wusses who fall asleep before 2am can have their own room to sleep in, while we still have 2 living rooms and a dining room to play mafia and other games in
3. All the things aforementioned, including cookies and sweet tea (though we can make unsweet tea as necessary), and the best pepperoni lasagna you'll ever have
4. Three fire-bellied toads, which as I understand, are illegal to lick
5. We have TWO Dance Dance Revolution pads, so twice as many people can look smooth/silly at the same time
6. Hosts who are able to pony up some funds to have goodies and go places
7. A huge backyard for football, bocce ball, ultimate frisbee, and whatever violent sports you want to play
8. 3 computers in the office for networked games and checking on online mafia games when you get lynched in the face-to-face mafia games
9. Meeting some of your favorite mafiascum players, including the distinct possibility of a vanful of scummers via Missouri
10. A special souvenir to remember your experience
Just off the top of my head.
Might as well make the counteroffer in here
1. I don't have a list, but I do have this:

2. We have a huge *finished* walkout basement to party in, plus an entire ranch-style upstairs for those who want to get away for a while/sleep.
3. I may or may not be able to get some old-fashioned sarsparilla (like root beer, but much better), not to mention the famous strawberry bread! There is also a distinct possibility of homemade pie, baked in a dutch oven (for those of you that don't know, a
dutch oven is used by putting it on coals from a woodfire, then putting coals on top of the lid, too. This ain't no conventional oven, this is the good stuff! Might I add that these pies are the best I've ever had, so I will try hard to convince them to make some before MoS-Faire)
4. We have a pond and woods in our backyard full of toads, crickets, squirrels, etc.
5. N64, SNES, Sega Genesis, Playstation 1, and multiple TVs to play them all at once.
6. Any time there's a party at my house, there will be goodies
.
7. We have about half an acre of yardage (the other half is underwater), plus a large field less than a block away to go play any sort of game that you want. I might even be able to arrange for some monkey-brain bowling!
8. Two laptops and 1 desktop on an in-house network, plus a wireless network throughout the house for anyone who wants to bring their computer along to play games or use the internet. There will be at least 2 or 3 other laptops/computers there for sure, from people I know are bringing theirs.
9. Meeting lots of awesome Scummers and GLers, even the KY Krew will be there!
10. Oh there will be souvenirs, I assure you of that
11. A dance floor in the party room for those who want to break it down.
12. Dartboards, need I say more?
13. A screened-in porch and an outside deck for those who want to go outside and enjoy the summer weather.
14. Lots of comfy couches and recliners to sleep in, as well as up to two guest rooms for the highest bidder (just kidding
).
15. Enough magic cards to make 6 or 7 decks for those who want to play or have a tournament. Not to mention that we'll probably get a box of packs if enough people want to draft.
16. A multitude of snacks and munchies for anyone who gets hungry, including my favorite, chips and salsa! If I go visit my grandparents in south dakota before MoS-Faire, I'll bring back some D.L. Jardines Habanero salsa just for the festivities.
