Revision as of 11:07, 1 October 2008

This page is for discussion of stuff related to the game coming up this week, no matter when that actually is. For instance, we can all assume Nate isnt coming for some lame reason and that Ed is sick of pizza and is bringing teriyaki or some other crap. They can post something here if that happens to be untrue.

BEN: congratulations, Brandon. NATE! can you let me know if you will be gaming on 10/3? If you are, then we will have 3 players and we can proceed with a session. Otherwise, 10/3 will likely be cancelled.

Edmiao I will be here on 10/3 so game on biatch!

Attendance and Food Preference

10/3/08 Nate: I'll be there. Down for pizza. Might be a little late since I'll probably hit traffic coming in from the east side.

BEN: sweet! AND present/pizza, of course.

--Dieter the Bold 10:09, 29 September 2008 (MST) Present. Pizza please.

Friday 10/31 or Saturday 11/1

--Dieter the Bold 11:46, 4 September 2008 (MST) Alright lads. We're gamers, so we're lazy by definition. I am lazier than most. But Halloween is a holiday I always feel bad about for not coming up with an awesome costume. I hereby forward the motion that we make that session a costumed session. Two months to come up with something awesome and wear it to the session. Bonus points to be awarded for those who come as their characters.

--Gdaze 11:00, 5 September 2008 (MST) I'm pretty sure I will be busy on said day. If I'm not, I will come in costume... but one it is over 2 months away so I have no idea, and two, yeah, typically I got out on that holiday.

BEN: as far as halloween goes, and as long as we've opened the can of worms that is switching sessions from friday to saturday or vice versa, the 31st of october may be an ideal candidate for saturday, as opposed to friday, gaming. Either way, I still think people should come dressed as their characters.

--Edmiao 14:24, 8 September 2008 (MST) Definitely will be gone if Friday 10/31, might be able to make Saturday 11/1 but won't be able to tell you until the day o

Ranting and raving or other random comments

Other RPG or Non-RPG or Monthly Board Gaming Day gaming Events

Edmiao anyone interested in getting together to watch the debate thursday, i'll offer up my place. should be more interesting than the presidential debate

GABE: Is this the vice president one? Besides that, anyone up for any kinda magic Wed? Or even using magic desktop? Which I STILL don't have working? Could I call either of you, Brandon or Ed, to get some help with that?

--Brandon 10:07, 1 October 2008 (MST) I'd be happy to help you get magic workstation running. Give me a call: 206 | 250 | 6329.

Weekly Magic Whining/Complaining/Smack Talking

Shards of Alara

BEN: some highlights from my weekend of magic:
1.) I draw 5 lands, some piece of crap, and a hellkite overlord. He draws one land and a bunch of good cards. we both keep. I play out a bunch of lands, he plays his one and gets stuck for 2 or 3 turns. Come turn 8, I play hellkite as one of two nonland permanents in play. He immediately scoops.
2.) He is at 24. I am at 16. He is solidly drubbing me. He plays "ad nauseam" which lets you draw cards, but you pay each cards converted mana cost in life. You can keep doing it as many times as you want. He draws a boatload of cards, and drops to 5 (!) life. He forgets to attack with his 2/2 lifelinker, and forgets that it doesn't have flying because he has no artifacts in his graveyard or in all the cards he drew. I attack with my 2/2 flyer, giant growth it, and he dies.
3.) next game, same opponent. I get him to 7 life. He needs a way to kill my 5/5 dragon. He plays ad nauseam again. He drops to 3 life but gets an answer. Now he needs a forest. He uses his ad nauseam again, and flips a 5 cost card. He dies. Hee-larious.
4.) I scored 32 rares this weekend (unfortunately, they didn't come cheap...), including a playset of Ajani Vengeant. I'm gonna keep them separate for now to see which ones actually end up being valuable. My favorite one was a foil Rafiq of the Many that I had to buy off a guy for $8.00...not cheap, but I really wanted that card in foil.

JASON: I am going to be doing that crappy con at Totem Lake mall on Saturday, you guys should come check out my cards. I have about 1300 rares at 50 cents each, as well as the higher end stuff (about 800 of those). I also have 4000 uncommons at 25 cents each. Gabe, bring those dual lands and I will buy them from you! Also, Dieter if you want to trade your Dual lands I will give you tons of playable stuff for them. Or you can just come and heckle me.

Next step in Super Heroes

Edmiao I wonder if the suveilance cameras caught cortez and the battle on tape, could be good PR sort of the Guardians most wanted list.

--Gdaze 02:29, 21 September 2008 (MST) Yeah... except then we went to the park and fought the mutant kid... had to knock out a bunch of teens with Ash Berry's spores... and um... he got away...

--Brandon 12:37, 21 September 2008 (MST) I just want to say that that last battle had a lot of great moments. Silver Snake being thrown into the air and then transforming and swinging back down in mid air; Ashbury flying above the crowd of teenagers and releasing pollen everywhere; Elemental taunting Zeus, and then not budging when the counterattack came; Brimstone walking with Silver Snake as armor, dragging a line of fire through the air, and then teleporting inside of Zeus's shield. Good times, all.

Next step in Of Amor, Armor, and Alchemy
