RECENT NYC DEVELOPMENTS

We have a few developments in the local A Game of Thrones LCG community that I want to make you aware of. I apologize in advance…this post is long, but bare with me.

First, we have tentatively set the date for the AGOT Regionals Event in NYC (aka “Kingsmoot in the East”) for 12pm or 1pm on Saturday, May 21. I typically would have polled all of you for more input before I set the date, but because neighboring cities have already submitted applications, this is really the only date that makes sense within FFG’s strict “regionals season guidelines.” For newer players, this annual event is typically a half-day competitive tourney that attracts new and experienced players from within and outside New York City. I will send out a separate follow-up email soon with more detail.

Second, we would like to regularize how we schedule evening weekday meetups. After discussions, we will aim to hold one AGOT meetup once every month during the third full week of the month. Our goal is to always let you know at least two weeks in advance. We would like to know (1) Which day[s] works for you, and (2) whether holding the meetup in Manhattan or somewhere else would make it more likely that you can come. Please email NightsWatchNYC [a] gmail.com with your preferences.

Finally, we are trying out Doodle.com to schedule the March 21-25 meetup. Please visit http://doodle.com/v7553whh4fxei9w8 and the days you are most likely to attend.This program will help us pick a day that works for the greatest number of people.

Thank you!

 FYI, Darksbane has a Calendar on the CardGameDB.com site that I think all metas should post regionals info about (http://www.cardgamedb.com/forums/index.php?/calendar/). I know FFG already posted the list, but this is a place where you can post more information to broaden exposure and elaborate on the details, etc.

I already posted the NYC info there, with more to be added later. (I'm also going to begin posting NYC-related events there, just in case people are interested.) Some of these events are already on the NYC Nights Watch Google Calendar here https://www.google.com/calendar/render?gsessionid=OK.

Nice work Darksbane!!!

Hey everyone!  my name is Greg, new to the local AGoT scene, but I wanted to let everyone know that I'll be hosting a TOURNEY OF THE HAND event this Saturday (4/16) at the I-Con convention out in Stony Brook on LI www.iconsf.org

Tourney is scheduled to start at 3:15 PM.

Event details and rules can be found here: www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_news.asp

I hope to meet some of you there this weekend!

dammit  i wish i knew about this before i made plans for this weekend

 If I could have gone, i probably would have gone.  I'd be interested in hearing the size of the turnout and a mini-tourney report if anyone actually did show up 

sooooooo   no info  huh?

It was an odd day at I-Con.  Two players showed on up time ready to go, neither with "Hand" decks.  Another showed up an hour late, with a Stark deck using the non-unique Kennel Master as his Hand.  A sweet husband and wife team signed up for the tourney, never having even demoed the game before.

Soooo needless to say it did not go as well as hoped

The format's fun, though, so hopefully we can get another go at a Tourney of the Hand sometime soon somewhere.

Sorry to hear it didn't get as many players.

Indeed.

Anyway, a group of players will be meeting at The Game Table in Mineola on Monday, May 9th at 7:00 PM.  We'll be playing Joust and all are welcome to come!

Figured i would post it here even though we have a massive email chain going

So 7pm Monday June 6th at the Game Table in Mineola we will be having a meet up with a pretty good mix of older and newer players  if anyone wants to show up, hopefully a mix of melee and joust

Hi all, i'm going to pass few days in New York from the 14th August to the 16th.
