The Stacks - Fall 2025

The Stacks have held the line throughout the Fall season and recent events, continuing to host local events and keeping the Stack Up spirit showing offline. We're grateful for their continued support through hosting clean ups, tabletop gaming events, and overall representing Stack Up outside of our online spaces.

Here's what our Stacks got up to in the Fall season of 2025:

Fayetteville, NC | August 17, 2025

Stack Up Staff Glitterpoof and PerkyDaisy attended this Fayetteville, NC event at Bubba's 33 in Fayetteville.

National Nonprofit Day. We set up a table to raise awareness and fundraise in their parking lot. There were several other local organizations at the event as well. We set up at 10AM and the event ended at 2pm. There was some solid traffic and the host venue was introducing stack up to customers and encouraging them to come say hi. Raised $147 and got to talk to a lot of local veterans.

Indianapolis, IN | September 20, 2025

Remember to RSVP to Indy Stack events so they make sure they get a table large enough to fit everyone!

This month, the Indianapolis Stack hosted our monthly game day!

Even though we've grown our presence in the Indianapolis area, we still struggle to get firm RSVP for events, so this causes some problems in ensuring that everyone can be accommodated when they show up. I generally always plan to have more people than RSVP'd so if surprise participants show up, they can still be part of the fun.

Holloman AFB | October 22, 2025

Holloman AFB Stack has been consistently hosting events throughout the season even as the Government Shutdown has caused their usual meeting location to close temporarily.

Tonight, we gathered at the Holloman Outdoor Recreation. It hasn't been a huge burden, as the staff is getting to know that we're gathering there and have been very accommodating.

This week, however, went off the rails as there was a traitor in our midst! The Saboteurs were collapsing the mine caves in on our heads! And for some reason it was always Rose and Lawrence! After that, it was learning Rise of Tribes! It's a simpler war game with easier combat mechanics than, say risk, but carries a lot of euro style choices that make up for the simplicity. We all squabbled over land while Nate just built up and swept the board with superior numbers. Outdoor Rec might not be the best location for our group, and has more limited opportunity, but they do let us stay later.
