Tundra scout warband looks neat.

We had a decent 10 person turnout despite yet another week of Drizzt cards. Both Paula and I went 3-0.

I played Vlaakith the Lich Queen, Huge Red Dragon, Githyanki Dragon knight, Zombie White Dragon, Orc Wizard, Orc Wardrummer, Swarm of Spiders, Cursed Spirit.

Possibly Star Wars on the 20th, assuming that isn't a D&D night. If not most likely no Star Wars until sometime in the new year.

There is also another in Cambridge April 21st.

Idzy, I likes me the sounds of a road trip. Since its near the end of feb, it also gives time to playtest like crazy and make some truly monstrous bands.

Hey Idzy is that a "Dreamblade torny" or is there another convention attached to it?

What to play what to play as I sit here shivering, worrying about my Candidacy Exam tomorrow morning, and trying to figure out why I can only sleep for an hour or two every night for the last week and half.

I intend to be in Virginia or wherever it is they're holding the DDM Sealed Championships on February 17th.

I don't think I need to know completly what a candidacy exam is to wish you good luck. Hopefully, it doesn't matter that you are writing the test by now.

Maybe you're just nervous about the exam and that's making it hard for you to sleep. If you do good on it, then you might have a better night's sleep.
That or you can't come up with a good enough Dreamblade warband for the big tourny down in the states.

No you probably don't need to know about the candidacy part, the exam part pretty much tells you what you need to know eh? No, the test isn't until 1 pm. And it's not written. Written would probably be better. I have to give a 20-25 talk on my research and then the professors on my committee ask me a bunch of questions to see if I'm competent or not.

I guess I could be nervous affecting sleep, but somehow I don't think so. I usually don't get nervous until the night before/day of and I slept reasonably well last night. Now I'm worried paranoid.

Not being able to come up with a good DBM band wouldn't affect me, since I'm not going to the states for DBM. And the sealed championships are sealed, so not much I can do to control that either. Although I wish they'd release the schedule so I can book flights/hotel and things like that.

On the bright side, my car started more easily than I did this morning. Apparently it deals with -35 better than I do.

So who's headed down for minis tonight. I'll be there but unfortunatly I didn't have time to make a warband so I had to grab what was handy, the one I played for Ladies Night. It'll probably get owned again but hey, what are you going to do.

For those interests in trying out some Dreamblade some of us will be playing casually on Firday night. Drop in and see what all the hype is about.

Last night Scott and myself worked out a schedule for January and February and the current thought is to add the League idea we've been passing around into the mix. The current thought is we'd have the League run every 2nd and 4th Thursday through to March.

I suppose a couple questions need to be asked at this point.

1) How many people are interested in playing in some kind of league format D&D minis?

2) Which proposed format to people prefer. Some kind of variant on an Eternal Campaign or a take on the Wizard's internal sealed league?

Personally my vote would be for the Sealed League option I proposed earlier.

Shadowboob -


lol.

Idzy, you coming to Dreamblade on Saturday? I'll bring the Eater of Hope if you're interested in it. Actually I'll probably bring one anyway since it'll be in my warband.

I was looking at the schedule:

December 23
1:00 pm - D&D Minis

200 points, Constructed, Assault.

Theme: Grab Bag Surprize Get a grab bag of minis tosadd to your warband, and you get to keep the minis!

Christmas isn't supposed to be sad. Wait, can I even say Christmas nowadays?What is the world coming to?

Should I come and protect my Team Night title this Saturday? Hmmm, that would make three in a row. I'll see if I can come up with something if I can make it.

Team Night is this Thursday, Saturday is the 200 point Sanctioned game I'm running. You should come out for that to beat the Beer Baron.
