Change of plans, and now Rhonda isn't coming down tonight, so we can play whatever.

King Blith and I played 4 games today. Two Martell (me ) v Martell-Brotherhood. I won the first game pretty soundly, and vice versa game 2. Then he beat my Neutral-Nobel-Brotherhood deck twice (well, scond game he had to leave early, but I think he would have won).

Tuesday night (the 21st) I am running a Winter Is Here draft event, using mostly packs from ITE block (2x ITE, 1 HoTh, 1x HoTa + bonnus pack). I have enough cards for 8 players, but if I get 6 ot 7, two people's bonus pack will be 5KE and if I get 8 players either I will not draft a 5th pack or I'll have to crack my unopend pack of Flight of Dragons (which could be really interesting).

The cost for the draft will be $10 per person, and you get to keep the cards.

i failed so hard at that draft. :sadface:

Just wanted to give fresh warning that the weekend of April16-17 will be a Game of Thrones themed weekend at the Gamers Den. I don not know what exactly we will have planned, but it will involve both the card game and the board game.

I also suspect there will be sonme scheduled Demo Events in the weeks leading up to the weekend, and if anyone wants to help run demos, please let me know.

jj i help run demos on april 12th. Iand i make sure i be there all day sat and sunday morning.

The weekend events are called the Tourney of the False Spring. What I currently have planned for the weekend is two LCG and one board game event, and possibly Battles of Westeros is either a) we get a demo copy or b) a player with a copy of BoW agrees to run/demo it.

the first LCG event will be a LCG Joust on Saturday at Noon. Entry fee is $10 per player. Prizes include signed art prints, one by GRRM and one by Tiziano (King Robert from LotS). Power counters will also be awarded, and some pins. I am checking into other prize support.

the second LCG event is a Melee on Sunday at Noon. Cost is $5, or free if you played in the Joust. Two rounds plus a final table. Prizes as yet to be determined.

Saturday night at 6pm we'll play the A Game of Thrones board game. There is no cost for this event.

 is it still going to be on the same day you said earlier? i was wondering if you had considered changing it due to the agot event at the ffg event center

There is an update on our forums. Basically, I'll be hosting the LCG events on Saturday, and moving the boardgame to Sunday. the Saturday LCG events will be a Joust, followed by straight swiss Hand of the King. I can, of course, jsut do it as a single HotK event, but with Regionals coming up some of us are going to want to test out decks in a competitive setting.

As for regionals, there is strong support among the local meta to have me hold an event. I basically told everyone that the only way I can do it is if six people commit to paying $20 each for entry fees. That's about 80% of the kit cost, and makes it worth our while (though a higher turnout so we're actaully making a little money would be nice). So far Jon, Shad, Brad and Anders have committed, Steve is think will, but I'd have to start at like 2pm on Saturday since he works mornings for him to attend. So I'm close to submitting an app (and we'd be going for a late June event). I'd also likely need to find someone to run the first few hours, since I won't make it to the Den until closer to 5.

Oh, frak yeah! Now I can look like the Old Man!

So Life continues to be unfair and I will not be able to attend on Tuesday due to the fact that my day off that week is now Wednesday and I have to close monday and tuesday....

I think it sucks that you have to rearrange your schedule for your boss, but the courtesy doesn't go both ways.

Well it wasnt truly rearranged he did the schedule a week ago which i knew about but i didnt know about FFG coming up and i didnt take to mind my day off being wednesday

 Ah the Good Ole games... Joes Martel deck VS my LannI shadows deck I start out slowhe gets to 13 powerso by the 6th plot I put up a wallwe basically do nothing for 8 more plots as I continually valor to get rid of his Viper with 2 tastes of blood on it because if I win 1 challenge against him he will claim 2 powerwin plus if I lose he will claim renown so anyways I valor he has Red Viper I have Tyrion I match his flops for the next few plotsso to make sure His Viper will have to Kneel...Plots recycle again I flip Valor he flips Power of Blood... I was crushed... I did draw my whole deck though

Just wanted to remind everyone that this Saturday and Sunday is our Game of Thrones weekend.

Satruday at noon is the LCG Joust, $10 entry. Prizes include the A Song of Ice and Fire Art Book Volume 2, an art print of Jaime Lannsiter ont he Iron Throne signed by GRRM, a full-art deck box, power counters and pins.

Saturday at 6pm,a fter the Joust, will be the Hand of the King event. Entry for this is $5 per person, free if you played in the Joust. The first 8 players will receive a HOTK rules board, and the winner gets an exclusive plaque.

Sunday we're playing the board game.
