Speaking of Dreamblade, in the spirit of eternal optimism and finally getting a tournament in after over a month, I'll likely wander down on Wednesday. Will definitely be out on Thursday for league and Friday for Scarabs.

I dunno, "all" sounds a bit greedy. I'll settle for enough to have a tournament for the first time in a month or more. Well, for me anyway. There was a tournament that one day it was like -30 and my car wouldn't start.

Do any of you know a campaign that I can join? I play with David and Neil but I'm always the DM because I'm the only one who knows enough about the game. I want to play a bard.... With a Hand Crossbow lol... the mayor never saw it coming.

I'm not afraid of competition, it's mind over matter.

Ice Troll,

Have you considered asking one of your parents to DM for the group?  Any of you have an older sibling who might be helpful?

That's the best advice I can offer at the moment.

Cheers

Ooh, Shojo and the OotS are gonna get it now.

But at least we had a Dreamblade tournament today. Me, Rob, Mike J, and Nico were out. Sounds like there should be a decent turnout tomorrow for league as well.

Karsite Fighter 26
Acheron Goblin x2 14
Kobold Monk 5
8 activations, 197 points

Band 2

Githyanki Dragon Knight 98

Well, I'm looking at about 10 possibilities. Unfortunately the forecast today calls for extended periods of suck.

Jory, get a few friends together, with the agreement that you each take turns. And then help them do it until they are comfortable with it.

Nine people out for league last night. Nico, Scott, Jay, Richard, Tom, Jeff, Chris V, Andrew, and myself. Both Jay and Richard ended up going 3-0 but Richard had more total points.

Jay moved into top place overall in the league with 16 points.

Good times.

Team Elan is off to a decent start with 12 points. The combination of medium figures that I had was far more effective than I had expected it to be. Helped out by some hot dice, especially in my 2nd game against Jeff it worked quite well.
There are a lot of power pieces out there though. Scott pulled a fire giant for his new booster, Chris V pulled a horned devil, Mike J and Jeff both have CoDA's, Nico has a horned devil, Jay's got a solar (which I think would really tear me up if I don't get a gnome trickster in my next booster), Tom has both a marilith and Aspect of hextor along with an orc wardrummer. That's a lotta oomph for sealed play.

May 26th.

FYI (everyone)- Chris and I were discussing the prizes for Dreamblade, and we are both in agreement that with only people there isn't enough entry fees to cover a booster. We've now set that at 5 people. Other prizes from WOTC to be included. I only award a booster at DDM with a minimum of 6 people.

4 people out for the Dreamblade Chrysotic Plague release event, Rob, Bach, Richard and myself. I ended up going 3-0 with some good pulls. Lots of free swag to be had so it was all good.


Don't forget everyone, tomorrow at 1 PM I'm running a 100 point sanctioned DDM event. Everyone who isn't there earns an official boooourns.

Snig the Axe  20
  Goblin Skirmishers x3 (Minions)

Lots of little goblin fun.

Hello,

Turnout of 10 people for the sanctioned matches today was excellent.  Four rounds of playing was also very nice.

Not so nice was going 2-2, but thems the breaks.  My dice deserted me in the end, as my last two matches I was rolling lots of 2, 3, 4s.  I made morale saves for the most part, but everything else just would not work.

@ Shadowlord XT,

I  don't know if your Have/Want list is up to date, but I am willing to trade you the following for the Ice Devil you pulled today:

1 x Hunched Giant (R)
1 x Maug (U)
1 x Xorn (U)

Plus a few other pieces of your choice.

I can't see what you are looking for from WotDQ or from Blood War, so I am open to other offers.  My Have/Want list is up to date.

Cheers

Chris L played a Cleric of Order, Sacred Watcher, Dwarf Artificer, Aasimar Fighter, Gold Dwarf Soldier, Man at Arms, Timber Wolf, and Warforged Scout.

Kevin plyaed a Harmonium Guard, Mercenary Sergeant, Shieldwall Soldier, Dwarf Mercenary, Royal Guard, Soldier of Bytopia, Aasimar Fighter, and Warforged Scout.

Barry played a Goblin underboss, 2 Acheron Goblins, 2 Goblin Blackblades, 2 Silent Wolf Goblins, and a Goblin Adept.

Norman went with a Bonded Fire Summoner, Steelheart Archer, Small Fire Elemental, Halfling Slinger, and 2 Medium Fire Elementals.

Tyler played a Red Hand Sorcerer, Skeletal Eqiceph, Greenspawn Sneak, Maug, Goblin Skirmisher, and Hobgoblin Warrior.

Chris V ran with a Warduke, Orc Wardrummer, and a Small Black Dragon.

Jay played the Tiefling Captain, 2 Mounted Drow Patrol, 2 orc Warriors, 2 Lolth's Stings, and a Timber Wolf.

Jeff played a Free League Ranger, Steelheart Archer, 3 Halfling Slingers, 2 Hunting Cougars, and a Wild Elf Raider.

Tom had a Warden of the Wood, Elf Warrior, Timber Wolf, Monitor Lizard, 3 Hunting Cougars, and a Dire Bat.

Rob borrowed my warband, a Goblin Underboss, Snig the Axe and 3 Goblin Skirmishers, 4 Acheron Goblins, and 2 Goblin Blackblades.


Tyler ended up as out big winner going 4-0 while Jay placed second at 3-1. Thanks to everyone who showed up and made it a fun event, hopefully we can do it again soon.

Good times, Good times.

I'll have to decline the Hunched Giant offer. At the top of my list is a Gith Dragon Knight. I was told Bach was looking for an Ice Devil so I'll start there.

I'm really desperate to get in a campaign right now as all my friends schedules don't work together so it's just one at a time or not at all, plus i want to be a player but none of my friends know anything about being a DM and it would take awhile for them to learn how to be one plus they don't know anything about the monsters and whats to hard and whats to easy and where to put everything ect. Shadowlord xt(now i have to say xt 'cause theres another shadowlord) maybe we can start again?

@Troll- There's another ShadowLord here? All I know of is Shadowbob. And I'll have to say no about the rpg game.

@jackson- Are you the offiicial schedual maker now? Can't we get some new theme games?

@Richard- If you have a Gith Dragon Knight to trade, I'd throw in a Storm Archer and Nerull EPIC card. I thought you had an EPIC Lord Soth card. You beat my @ss in with it and some Iron Golems a while back.

Hello all,

@Richard - Received your request about minis and responded in my sales thread and by e-mail.  Hoped you received things.

@Shadowlord XT - There has been another Shadow Lord on the boards for about 6 months or so.  Also, in terms of the scheduling for minis I count at least two new theme games that I have not seen before in the schedule that MJ has provided.

@Jacksonm - I think you need to re-read the schedule, the Friday the 13th Dreamblade event in April (I think it is) is listed as DDM, not DBM.

Cheers
