| In other DDM 2.0 news some time in the next couple weeks I should be recieving materials to run demos for the new rules. A scenario has been designed using Desert of Desolation figures with the new stats.
Perhaps I'll have them in time for my demos next week....... | | | |

| In League news due to popular demand one of the sessions has been made an Epic session. League sessions will be on Saturday Feb 2nd, Saturday Feb 23rd (500 points), and Thursday Feb 28th.
You may not use an epic version of your commander for the 500 point session. | | | |

| | If your commander isn't unique, and you put in a second one, can it be epic (Bram's Balor/Pit Fiend)? That was part of the reason he selected them. Well, that's also part of the reason I moved Storm to my #1 choice also. | |

Well, that's also part of the reason I moved Storm to my #1 choice also. No, you may not use an epic version of your commander or any other drafted commander even if you use more than one copy of it in your warband.
At least half the draft sheets were submitted at the time there was discussion of making some of the sessions Epic. I don't consider it fair that they didn't have the opertunity to select their commanders with the possibility of Epic events in mind.
Players are free to use any Epic non-drafted commanders in their warbands along with any other Epic figure.

| So, who's going to pry themselves away from warcraft and come out for some crazy mini shenanigans tonigth? Build a warband from any two boosters of your choice.
Sigh, minis or warcrack, minis or warcrack? Decisions decisions. | |

Star Wars has a Muun Tactics Broker repaint, and a cool new Boba poster to advertise demos/tourneys with. | |

| yowza,
16 players = 32 commanders taken.
Its getting harder and harder to build a warband with my Mercenary General (Commanders in your warband gain Fearless). I may be forced to take out the everpopular Lord of Blades. | | | |

| Well, there are still well over 100 commanders you could use. The list of top flight ones is dwindling though.... 
6 People out for minis last night. Raymond, Richard, Ryan, Matt, Denise, and myself. Matt went 3-0, good stuff.
And don't forget tonight I have a Star Wars minis demo. Come on down anytime after 6 and I'll teach you how to play SWM and give you some free stuff. I have at least one starter to give away as well. Should be good times. | | | |

| Hello,
Nice to see 9 people out for league today. I ended up 3-0, with three interesting games. Bram and faced off again for another battle (I think we played 4 times last league). For the first time ever against me his Balor did not rout, and he managed to enslave one of my warband.
Nico's dwarves were an interesting challenge, but I got the good rolls, and Nico had some bad ones.
My last game against Norm was the most challenging. It went down to the wire, but I managed to pull things off.
I won't make the Thursday league session next week, so see everyon on February 2nd for more Shuluth villany (or will be Syreth?).
Cheers

If anyone has a Gelatinous Cube to trade, I am willing to make a deal. Help me complete my Desert of Desolation set!
Also, looking for Sahuagin if anyone has any extras.

| Hello all,
Mike, are you sure those standings are correct, I had 4 points after last time, so shouldn't I be at 14 now, not 15?
Not complaining about being in 2nd, however.
Also can someone in the Salty Pete campaign post in the Salty Pete thread please, I appear to have been locked out of that one.
Cheers

| Hey everyone, not getting enough minis?
Come on down to my DDM demo at The Gamer's Lair Outpost, 794 Sargent Ave. I'll be running DDM demos from 5 until 9 this Saturday evening.
And even if you're not interested in the Demo they're having a 500 point tournament that evening. Here's Scott's chance to play without having to answer the phone!

| Due to my work schedule I've had to make a change in the League schedule. Note that now the February sessions will be Saturday the 2nd, Saturday the 16th (500 points), and Thursday the 28th.
I'm working on March right now but I think the final three will be on Saturday the 8th, Thursday the 13th, and the Finals on Saturday the 22nd. | | | |

| Alas, another fatal blow for Dreamblade. It has been removed from the Wizards main page and replaced by...... Heroscape.
The rumors were true, Hasbro has transfeed the brand to Wizards. Perhaps I'll be able to do Delegate demos for it, stay tuned. | | | |

| At least its not another collectable random distribution game. It looks interesting from what I have seen of it. I feel bad for the part I played in hooking some of you on DBM, it was a fun game but in hindsight not sustainable. | |

| I for one would like to see a demo of Heroscape...it looks pretty interesting (if a little simplistic) and the non-randomness of it is appealing to me as well.
BTW, what's happenin' for SWM next Saturday (Feb. 2)? I have to work that day, but I might get out of it, depending on what's going on. I'll be there for 200 pts this Saturday, regardless. | | | |

Make sure to book off the last Saturday in March as the will be the next SWM release event.
