My thought was to run the Defeat the Board Borg scenario for those of you wanting to mix it up a little bit and probably Classic TNG for our new player / those that are looking for something more traditional. Thoughts? Objections?

Please let me know if you have a pod preference. I will only play if I make it an even number and will just go to whichever pod needs me.
Any chance I can talk you into either Maquis or Dominion War instead of TNG for that second pod?

I have no strong preference, just know that the Maquis pod would have far more 1-cost people in it than the Defeat the Borg pod and that the Dominion War pod would have a 1-range HQ, which is also not truly fair.

That said, I will run what the players want. I am just cautioning you that if you are trying to angle for a deck building achievement, you are going to be disappointed. We have run over a half dozen of these so far, and nobody's deck ever qualifies.

With 6 registered i don't want to jam up the numbers.

If y'all get another player before you kick off and need an 8th, let me know and I'll tag in.

I am still not signed up, and if we get another one or two people we could always run a 3rd pod (as groups of 3) with either of the other scenarios.

I'll be an 8th - 4-person pods are fine. I don't want to be a 9th and create a bye (and a 4th round).

If there are any last minute entrants, get in here today! I have already started putting together the mission packs for the Defeat the Borg scenario and will do the Classic TNG ones shortly.

Players take note, I am taking a little bit of Artistic License with the card pools. Nothing major, just swapping quality in for junk where I see it. In particular, the Defeat the Borg packs did not look like they had enough Borg missions (read either Borg or "any crew / any away team") so I pulled out a handful of 30-pointers nobody would draft any way and grabbed the next useful mission to pop up in the pack generator that was not already in the pool. If anyone really cares about seeing how the sausage is made so to speak, I ran it for 8 players even though we only need 3 per pod and will do so throughout.

Are you playing, Kris? If so I'll jump in. If not I'll defer so I don't crap up your numbers.

Currently, I am not as I am doing the card pools and do not want that shadow of unfairness over the event. That said, if we get a 7th I am still assuming you are the 8th. :wink:
