Current events
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?
JASON: I went to visit her yesterday and she gave me the cold shoulder, but she looks healthy. I am not sure what where you mean, so the surgery was at South Seattle Veterinary Hospital, the tumor was rectum/lower colon. The doc said he had never seen one in this particular area.
--Edmiao 09:19, 10 June 2008 (MST) colon cancer? blech. how did they find it? was she losing weight or something?
JASON: Actually she was gaining weight. Lots of it. Her entire colon and possibly even further were so backed up she couldnt move waste. The mass was in the way and caused her to strain so much her prolapse recurred. Her midsection was giant and very hard.
Other RPG or Non-RPG gaming Events
--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.
GABE: Any ideas for this Friday then?
BEN: my one problem is that I definitely don't have time to make constructed theme decks: just to make a regular old functional constructed deck that I can keep around and tweek to make it good takes several hours for me to make, usually. So to spend that on a deck that will get taken apart at the end of a two hour play session...at least with sealed or draft, it takes you 45min-1hr to make a deck. But if we come up with something where we can make decks on the spot, I'm in fo' sho. Otherwise I'm cool with just playing some regular games.
Gabe: I don't think we need to put in too much thought, just force us to play with cards we might never use. But it does take time to make decks regardless.
--Edmiao 11:12, 10 June 2008 (MST) agreed. plus all the cards are at bens and we only want to play for an hour or so, so i would suggest no drafting or contstucting on fridays. if we want to do some themed thing we should go for an afternoon of it, or on some day when rpg are cancelled.
GABE: I'll cancel your face.
--Edmiao 11:25, 10 June 2008 (MST) might be hard with it burried in your mom. can't breath.....
GABE: Oh SNAP! (Is it pretty clear I'm tired at work and really don't feel like working?)
The Next Step in WHFRP Reboot
Fin
The Next Step in Werewolf
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.
