Revision as of 21:38, 30 July 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.

Attendance and Food Preference

8/1/08

--Gdaze -- Okay, so we do have Dieter, Me, Matt (assuming he hasn't already chickened out) and NATE (Nate, what is the % you'd actually attend?) Did we not even one a try a one shot, maybe something simple like WHFRP? I dunno, just throwing ideas out. I also have a Tailsman like game called Runebound, but it can take up to 6 hours to play.

Oh plus the new players, if they wanted to. WHFRP is pretty easy to get down. If anyone did wanna do I'd most likely run a quick Chaos mini-venture.

--Matts 10:46, 30 July 2008 (MST)I won't be there unless something crazy happens and I'm running supers.

JASON: Does Nate play Magic? If not, as with Gabe, I have tons of board-y games we could try. This is all assuming you guys are RP-ing, in which case I can probably talk Rumi into coming. Heck, maybe I could even dig out a one-shot.

--Gdaze -- B'ah I say, Matt is wusing out, plus can't confirm if Nate is gonna be there. Me thinks people want this week off, so oh wellz.

--Edmiao 20:32, 30 July 2008 (MST) revised! i can make it at regular time. wassu?

--Gdaze -- SO uh, are we on?

Ranting and raving or other random comments

-- Matts more on Batman

JASON: We hack the internets. Which one? All of them.

--Edmiao 14:54, 29 July 2008 (MST) with all the absences and new players, we should be more dilligent in the future about posting recaps. this will keep people more up to date on what's going on...maybe. I'm willing to do my part, but i've missed every session for like a long time. anyone care to fill out The Guardians - Issue 1.

--Edmiao 09:38, 30 July 2008 (MST) gabe, cheryl loves runebound and we have lots of expansions (some of which severely unbalance the game) if you ever want to play....

--Gdaze-- Yes... those games can become pretty unbalancing, like the dragon familiar who steels items form cities, and you don't even have to be in the city! Well sweet man, I've only play once, the first time with nothing but the basics, the 2nd time with the giant and an item expansion. Its no Tailsman, but it's a good runner up for those types of games. I really like how you can change up the game. I know you two must be pretty busy now so throw some times out.

--Edmiao 10:05, 30 July 2008 (MST)actually, no time soon. just a thought. probably like september....

RUMI: To those wishing to live vicariously through me, bad news: I didn't get the job at Wizards. :( As a bit of a "what could it hurt?" moment, I applied for a graphic designer position at Marvel in New York a few days ago. Haha! Seriously, if anyone knows of anyone hiring for graphic designers, please let me know! This forced vacation is nice for getting things done, but I may go stir crazy in a few days...

--Gdaze-- Well good luck with Marvel! That would be a sweeeet job. Noelle is going stir crazy too, but she doesn't really have an online portfollio of her work yet.

Other RPG or Non-RPG gaming Events

Monthly Board Gaming Day

GABE: SO yeah I missed magic... does anyone wanna meet for like an hour or two of magic on Friday, say around 7? Or even Wed?

shindig on aug 30/31

JASON: Also, I will be having a massive shindig for mine and Rumi's birthdays on either August 30th or 31st. I would like to see as many of you jokers as possible attend. Mark it on your calendar. I am planning on renting a venue so we have plenty of space for games, Rock Band, and partying. Does anyone know of a centrally located, reasonably priced, venue?

GABE: I'd like to come, I'm trying to be more social. A central and big location for partying thats cheap? *insert your mom comment*

KIM: Oooh, I'll be back in town then, might have a job that weekend, but will try to keep it during reasonable hours so that I can show up and commandeer the potato chip bowl... *nom nom nom*

--Dieter the Bold 16:37, 21 July 2008 (MST) Will be moving into a new place, but should be able to spare a day. Consider me attending. The only venue I could think of that's sorta' central and maybe reasonably priced is an educational building. Gym of a high school, community college, Seattle U., etc.

Do any of you jerks want anything?

JASON: Yes, the first number is price and hte number after is how many he has.

JASON: I just bought a big batch of cards. We should get together and have a trading extravaganza.

BEN: played in a sealed deck tourney on saturday. Got spanked like an altar boy: 0-4. BUT, I did get a shit-ton of awesome rares...they just somehow didn't come together into a great deck. Everyone who showed up got a rare "figure of destiny" foil, and somehow I ended up with two, which was sweet. I traded one for the prerelease foil overbeing of myth. I also scored 2 lieges, the red-white spirit avatar, and ashling the extinguisher, among a couple other rares.
BTW jason, I still have your cards that I bought for you. I should get those to you sometime soon.

GABE: So yeah, I think I'll try combining http://www.trollandtoad.com/p97713.html and http://www.trollandtoad.com/p203801.html.
