Because it looks like a great way to meet some new folks and get to play some games new to me and intro some of my faves to others. I'm hoping there are a few horror fans... I've got a lovely copy of Zombie Plague that would be a lot of fun to play.
By gear do you mean dice or games? Games from all over... other accessories well I've been playing for a while so it's not like I need a lot of things.
Right now my favourite table top game would be the miniatures rule set All Things Zombie: Better Dead than Zed
Toss up between horror and war(with a weird element thrown in)

"Anyone in the group a miniature terrain maker... a closet minis painter or maybe even someone who likes messing about trying to be creative? Drop me a line at gameterrain@yahoo.ca ... maybe we can get together for some fun as well."
Limited experience but the folks I've met so far are very friendly.
