Okay gang, 52 pages is long enough.  It is taking too long to pop up now, so here is a restart of our usual thread.

I think this is the 4th version, correct me if I'm wrong.



Restart date:  October 24 2006.

Hellooooo.......

it may actually be the 5th

Hello,

This is at least the 5th version of the meeting thread, it might be the 6th.  I lost track when the boards kept crashing a while back.

See, I am posting over here now.  Let's get the wave going.

Cheers

I'll edit the post and call it the 5th. I remember 4 at least, but I haven't been posting as long as you veterans.

Say, does anyone know how to edit the title, I can get into the message but the title seems to be locked.

Hello,

You can't edit the title unless you have Moderator/Admin privileges.

That's Ok, we can stay with the title.

Cheers

Looks like this is the thread now since the other one got locked. I miss the old thread already......

Anywho.... any decisions on what people want to play tonight?

Who's planning on comming out for DDM Thursday night?

I'll bring settlers of cattan and my D&D stuff too incase we play the Gameday mod.

Wait, Chris won BOTH minis?. I thought there was going to be two draws. Congrates to him.
I'm not sure what to bring. If I bring Age of Mythology it will take all night. If I bring Munchkins, I can also bring Nascar. Any ideas?

If everyone wants me to run the game day module I'm up for that and I'll come out. Or Star Wars RPG for that matter.

Otherwise I might give the night a pass and rest up for Dreamblade and DDM later in the week. I needs to gain 4 points on Rob this week to zoom into first place.

In other news I passed the Dreamblade test this morning.

I'm thinking about skipping DDM on thursday if Chris can play DBM on Friday. Then I'd come to DBM on Friday and the prerelease on Saturday, although if I need to play an EC game on Friday that could change.

I am thinking about coming out for the thursday DDM event. All depends if i will be able to beg someone, namely my wonderful boss, for a ride home at the end of the evening. Mike does your non-tier 1 challenge still stand? As for the DBM on friday, i will only play if i am need to fill out the tourney. Otherwise for me this will be a standard friday of controlling the magic guys and trying to run the store at the same time.

The chalenge wouldn't be ethical in a tournament I might play in so it won't be in effect this time. Perhaps for the Tournament I'm running in November.

Off to Game Knight for a bit to hang out and see what's up. Smell you later.

Hello,

I am going to try to get out for tonight, but I am fighting a nasty cold.  I will see how I feel in an hour or so.

Cheers

Hello,

Still hacking and coughing here.  I am gong to rest up for minis tomorrow night.

Cheers

I'll be there tomorrow but not on Friday for DBM. Too bad. Dreamblade good.

Fun day at Gameknight yesterday. I played the mod. with Rob and Mike (DM). Since there was only 2 people me and Rob played two charcters. There is six characters to pick from. I feel you need the six charcters. Mike was a nice DM and we survived his 10 natural 20's to beat the adventure. Hellcat was a nice mini along with the gargoyal (sp?).

We proceded to play Munchkins. Mike was playing for the first time. He won by killing the Male Shauvanest Pig.
I might have stood a chance if Mike didn't make me drop my weapons, and Rob didn't make the Dopplegansters come from Hell. Fun Fun Fun.

I saw the PDF spoiler. My summary:
BW has low-ish DC's (Besides Vlaakith).
BW gave the shaft to it's big devils (Ice devil and Horned Devil)
BW has a power creep (as usual)
BW has a lower dmg output than I initially thought (Ignoring the EPICS)
BW is taking me away from my school work, so I must go for now. I have a house to draw.

I won't be out for tonight. I'll almost surely be there on Saturday.

That module is hella tough without a little fudging on the DM's part. I might even add once again those characters hella suck. Hella.

Opposite scenario for me from Richard, I'm giving minis tonight a pass and going to Dreamblade tomorrow. Anyone looking to get into a great game now's a good time to come out and join the fun.

hey all. won't be comeing down to night, "unless people want the flu" hopefully i will have recovered in time for the pre-relase.

Feel better Stonefro.

Hey Beer Baron, did the Baxar's War arrive yet? What about the Bloodwars posters?

I also won't be out for DDM tonight, I need to finish my character for Batch's D&D campaign. and will be out for DBM and the pre-release on saturday

Blood War posters - no.

Baxar's War - yes, as of an hour ago.

Idzy, I need to do mine up too. Maybe tonight during my spare time. Smythe needs to vote yet.

Did everybody get a "KnightTymes" email?

I got the newsletter and I will be bringing my laptop for saturday

From the sounds of it there wasn't a tourny.
So:

Was there a tourny?
Who actually showed up? (If people did)
Who won?
With what?

I recieved the newsletter as well.

Hello all,

It was nice to see 8 people out for minis last night (although 10 or more would have been nicer ).  So, yes Shadowlord there was a tournament.

I ended up going the distance and winning the night 3-0.  Two weeks running and Richard reminded everyone at the end of the evening.

My warband was:

Couatl
Cleric of Syreth
Tordek, Dwarf Champion
Gold Dwarf Soldier
Sacred Watcher
Warforged Scout
2 x Hill Dwarf Warrior

199 points total - Forest Cliff Lair map.

My first match was against Richard and his own LG Tordek - Ballista - War Weaver band.

I think that by all rights Richard should have won with the firepower, except he kept rolling 1s.  Those misses on saves and attacks allowed me just enough of an opening to rout his Tordek at a critical point and kill off enough fodder (and the Ballista) to win.  It did not help Richard that we played on my map, not his favoured Dragonsdown Grotto.

My second match was against David and his LE Cadaver Collector band.  I don't remember all of the pieces, but he had a duergar champion, goblin blackblade and goblin underboss in there as well.  Again, we played on my map.

I won that match by engaging everything except the Cadaver Collector until the end.  I won on points including victory points for two rounds.

My final match was against Chris B with his LE Blackguard on Nightmare, Green Dragon, and Goblins combo.  I finally lost map selection for the night and ended up playing on Bach's choice of Dragon's Graveyard.

This game could have gone either way, but the dice held with me and when Bach moved his Nightmare to base my Couatl I managed to win all of the key rolls after that for the next two rounds.  That ended up with a dead Blackguard on Nightmare.  It did not help that the Green Dragon was based by the Sacred Watcher and took 4 rounds (I think) to actually kill it.  I think for the first two rounds he rolled one hit (out of six attacks) that might have hit, but it missed conceal.

Anyhow, that was my night (more details will not come out, I did not take notes and I am still suffering from a head cold, so I was not as observant as I should/could have been).

Cheers

Hello,

By the way, I DID NOT receive the newsletter from Gameknight, although I have in the past.

Cheers

Beer Baron,

Can you please, please, please hold a Blood War poster for me when they come in?

Cheers

I'll try. I haven't received any yet, which puzzles me as I know they are out there.

8 people out for a tournament I think is a good number. It makes sure there is a booster and a retail kit in the prize pool. I think after the new set is out, the trend will be to see attendance back up. We have a couple of new faces coming to the games, despite a few people not coming out anymore.
