February 18th Gameathon--Date Change

Submitted by Bill on Sat, 01/21/2006 - 19:11. ()

This posting is to inform everyone of the date change from Feb 11 to the 18th. The Studio is unavailable on the original date, so we need to shift a week. Please make your plans accordingly.

I'll bring mine.

I'll Bring mine, just in case. Hope we have one of the games running 5.
I'll try not to take such a long last turn, this time.

I do have a copy, although I might or might not be there for the morning session, so Nick might want to bring his if there is a chance we might get 2 boards going.

Mind you, I will try to get there--had a blast playing at the other G-A-T Laughing out loud

Mike and Nick (as well as Bill A. who will probably be there) each have a copy. If we have additional boards and players, I will be more than happy to run them.

OK, so as it stands:

Mike will run in the evening, Steve runs Revolution and Nick will run Titan another day.

I'm good with all of that. Steve, can/do you want to run 2 boards in case there is enough interest?

Actually, I wasn't thinking of "twinning" CE with Titan as much as offering a game that can be joined easily in mid-session opposite of a longer game that has elimination. Even then, they would only be able to join in if there was room.

I think that it would be good to keep this in mind when running elimination games (i.e. Diplomacy) because there are other games which allow for joining in progress as well. Shadows Over Camelot comes to mind as an excellent example.

If Mike does not run in the morning, and we are not looking to cap it at 5 (I consider Heroscape more of a minis game but I haven't played it), I can run Revolution in the morning session. I know Nick and Mike are both interested in playing it again and Bill A. is working on getting up here for the new date.

Let me know what you need/want.

I'd like to work you in if I can. I want to see if Mike Haggett wants to run in the early slot as he put in his first and didn't indicate which time. Right now, I have 5 games (RPG, 2 Minis, 1 board and SFB). Since the idea was to twin Titan with Cosmic, if Mike wanted to run in the morning, that would have us at 8 with only 2 in the evening.

I'll keep you posted.

morning full?

Submitted by Nick_Klercker on Mon, 01/23/2006 - 09:50.

Bill are you saying that I should not run Titan in the morning or that it is full with Titan?

Morning Session filled

Submitted by Bill on Mon, 01/23/2006 - 01:44.

I need to advise at this time that the morning session is filled with events. Please consider running something in the evening if interested.

Titan it is.

"If Nick is to run Titan, I will run Cosmic Encounter (Mayfair version) in the morning. That way, anyone eliminated from Titan may be able to jump into a game of Cosmic (which are 45-60 mins each usually) and then a night time session afterwards."

OK, you convinced me.
I plan on running Titan as discussed--for both slots. On the "deluxe" board. 6 players. Players knocked out get to play CE and join an afternoon game, if they so desire.

Bill or Steve, Are you guys gonna want to write of the description for the 2-slot thing, or should I just go ahead and do it?

I'm probably going to end up running Magic Realm for the March g-a-t, again like Steve suggested.
