Revision as of 10:13, 10 June 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.

To be less, as both Ed and I described it, verbose, Dieter is moving in with some friends of his at the end of August. Thank you) (DIETER: Awwww.... I was hoping for a few eruptions of confusion and fear before clearing it all up. Spoilsport).
BEN "spoilsport": sorry. I thought you might be, but then I decided that clearing up fear and confusion on the wiki would take up like 5 pages of text.

Ranting and raving or other random comments

JASON: Daria has survived her surgery and is doing fine. Now lets hope the tumor is not cancerous.

--Gdaze 19:48, 9 June 2008 (MST) Good to hear!

--Edmiao 09:13, 10 June 2008 (MST) hope she is feeling better. where was it?

Other RPG or Non-RPG gaming Events

Monthly Board Gaming Day

--Gdaze-- Well if anyone is interested in some Heroscape let me know in advance.

Weekly Magic Whining/Complaining/Smack Talking

BEN: a nice draft tonight (saturday) for myself, Ed, Cheryl, and Brandon) Brandon and I went 1-2, and Ed and Cheryl each went 2-1. There was some interest expressed for something tomorrow, and I had a good enough time to draft again or to just play with the decks we have tomorrow night. let me know if you want to do something.

--Edmiao 21:07, 8 June 2008 (MST)It was fun, but i still prefer constructed. there's more depth of deck building and I think the draft thing gets a bit spendy.

--Brandon 00:15, 9 June 2008 (MST) Speaking of which, I realized that I made you give me too much money, Ed. It should have been $5 each, rather than $7.50, because we only had 2 boosters each, not 3. I'll give you $5 the next time I see you. I'm generally against spending too much on Magic cards, but draft is fun enough for me to spend a little bit on the event. I probably won't do it for a while, though. We've got enough new cards to have fun with for a bit.

BEN: I really like draft. I might even go to the eventide pre-release to play in a real draft (ie, get my ass kicked in a...). I feel like it makes for tight play, and really forces you to think about your game, because its rare that one deck is just overwhelmingly superior to the other. Speaking of constructed, I think its time I made a deck for when I'm emperor...

--Edmiao 09:14, 9 June 2008 (MST) are you saying you plan to make a control deck???!!! gasp

BEN: oh yes, my precious...

JASON: Draft is more about your skill as a magic player (rather than deck builder, though thats very important as well) I think. You need to be able to play whatever cards you have, which is often more difficult than devising a strategy and sticking to it. I like it too. If it werent for Daria's impending surgery I would have tried a lot harder to come this weekend, I am starting to get the magic itch again. I also miss all of the other interesting formats like make the worst deck, singletons, 3 cost or less, rainbow, etc.

GABE: I'd love to use more itnereting formats, like everything costs 3 or less, be tight. Anyone wanna try for one this Friday? Hope Daria is okay!

--Edmiao 09:13, 10 June 2008 (MST) i think some themed things like that would be fun.

The Next Step in WHFRP Reboot

The Next Step in Werewolf

Werewolf Recap

Next step in Super Heroes

--Matts 14:48, 7 June 2008 (MST)My preference at this point is to start supers at the next session I run, since momentum on WFRP is low at the moment, and I'm personally more excited to start something new than to have a few lame-duck sessions of WFRP.

So this bumps up the timetable a bit, but if characters aren't totally done by the 20th, we can just run play out some prologues as we finish up the characters.
