Well if October doesn't pan out, no worries. Perhaps something in Nov. will present itself. Either way we should all be active (as possible) on the boards and our thread to see who is available to play and when.

Hey JMcCarthy, you still out there?

Still out here, I've just been really busy at work and home. I think the last time I played Thrones was when we played online a month (or longer) ago. Hopefully things will settle down soon and I can update some decks with some new cards. :-)

Too busy to play Thrones?!?!   J/K

I understand. If you do manage to look into your crystal ball and see an open weekend (or even just a sat. OR sun.) in the future, let me know and maybe we can get something organized.

*fingers crossed

Hey everyone, just wanted to give you all a head's up about this coming Sunday. Black Diamond Games, the location where the Ironmen of the East Bay meet is having an anniversary shindig at its location in Concord. From 4-6pm I will be running the AGoT table, so any and all are welcome to come out and play a few games, learn some more about the game, or help teach others about the game. The bigger the crowd around AGoT, the larger the enthusiasm around this great game we all love. Afterwards we can hang out and play some pickup 1 v 1 or Multi, maybe even grab a bite across the street at La Plaza (amazing food/inexpensive). If there is much interest, I'll make sure we have some ample play space, so don't be shy to post.

Once again, the time is this Sunday, October 25, from 4-6pm (plus longer if people want to stick around and play). Here's the location info:

Wow, the BDG Anniversary Party was HUGE! I have never seen so many people in the store at one time. Quite the turnout. It was so busy I wasn't able to set up the thrones table until after 4:30...but it didn't matter, it was a big success. We started a three person multi-player which quickly became a 4 person, all with new people. In addition, we had tons of people come by and watch, check out the core sets, ask about the rules and LCGs in general. It only lasted an hour and a half, but it was great!

This wednesday I will be at the store for the full time, 6-10pm...and I hope that some other can come by and play some thrones!

I'll be there!

P.s. Sorry about the Demo decks (or lack there of)...

Glad to hear the event was a success. Even better to hear you may have new interested players. Now if we could just develop teleportation technology so I wouldn't have such a long commute up there and back.

We had some great success at Multiplayer last night! For those who were there, it was a grea, swingy, fairly fast moving game. Almost everyone at the table had a decent look at victory before it was over. Also, three of the four were running Shadows Agenda, so certain cards were just ridiculously powerful: Queen of Thorns comes immediately to mind...she had a stack of power on her like the tower of Pisa!

Great times everyone, hope to you all (and some new faces) next wedensday night!

Well if you haven't seen it yet, OCTGN is the future of Game of Thrones online. If anyone is interested in testing this program out let me know...Darren, Luke or Jeff.

Also how are things looking for a meet-up in Nov.

Any free weekends on the horizon?

Anyone been playing at Game Kastle lately? It'd be great if Jeff at least could meet up with some people he doesn;t use as playtest victims, ermm, dummies, ahh, who have decks he hasn't built for them And our weekends are mostly clear for November if there's a to-do in the works.

Other than whining to my wife, I haven't been able to do anything AGOT-related since the night I played melee with Jeff and Scott.  What was that, six weeks ago? 

Right now, my November looks busier than my October which is saying something, because I think I had one weekend day free in all of October.  Weekdays aren't looking much better, either.

I think I will have a little more flexibility in my schedule after Thanksgiving, though.  [Please!]

I'll take a look at that site Cha0s and be happy to try it out with you and see how it works.

After talking it over with Syd and a few guys from Sac (J Mac and Mr Letum), we all agree that a November tournament needs to take place. I will be glad to set it up with our local store (Black Diamond Games) but we are open to suggestions of other places for hosting it...Game Kastle? (depending on who will be there). Here is what I was thinking:

Thrones-Giving - A tournament celebrating our beloved Game of Thrones

Sunday, Nov. 29 (which is right after Thanksgiving...hence the name)

Format will be Joust (1v1) with probably 4 rounds and then a cut to the top 4 players. We will have tons of prizes and extra decks available for players to use if you are learning but dont have your own cards.

Anyone interested? Who thinks they 'can' or 'might be able to' make it?

I will be there and I think I can talk my brother-in-law into playing as well. So put down two.

I think it's a great idea -- but sadly, can't make it myself.
