Hey folks! Here's your chance if you missed the Project Excelsior playtest @ North American Continentals - come out to test v0.2 on July 30th @ Arby's! Build your own deck and your lunch is covered (one Arby's combo or equivalent) as a thank-you for trying something new. Pre-constructed decks will also be available if you'd rather just show up and give the format a spin. We'll meet @ 2 pm, and stay until 6 pm; stay as long as you like.

Tribbles to follow if we've got a quorum. Click here for the v0.2 Excelsior playtest document.

I may be out of town, but will make it if I am not. Since you are making some pre-built decks, I wonder if it would be a good opportunity to advertise and play at one of the local game stores to pick up people off the street?

... to pick up people off the street?

Just double wrap it and watch for the cops! (they're usually the clean looking ones)

I'd prefer to play at Arby's.

I will be taking flyers around to a few local game stores a couple weeks beforehand.

Ok. I think meeting at Arby's is a tough sell for new players, but if enough of the old guard is willing to play I don't mind where it happens. I just know, besides Regionals, we haven't been able to sanction an event for a few months.

Play at a card store.

I can take a pass on this.

[Naetor]

I guess there is no discussion. Sorry for ruining your event, Matt.

[CaptMDKirk]

Nothing's ruined, this isn't a sanctioned event. It's just folks getting together and testing the new format. And it's not like it's the only time we're going to do this; I'd like to do another playtest for v0.3 when that's ready sometime in August.

If you can make it, great! If you can't, we hope that you can join us next time.

Tournaments should be held where ever the most eyes will see it.

I just stopped by Villanous Lair last weekend. I like it a lot actually, and even though I cant make it to this event, it wouldn't bother me to play events here.

The store is spacious, has AC, and is quite comfortable.

I ran demos at Villainous Lair last year to promote the 50th anniversary of Trek, and while the store is pretty nice, it's hard to schedule events there because their table space is usually limited on the weekends (they have established groups that fill the room). That being said, I would like to have more events there in the future to promote the game.

The best thing is no cats, right?

You know what Rick? That still haunts me to this day. I'm surprised you remember that LoL.

What a way to turn off visiting players. Yeesh!
